Now if this isn't an outlier your comparing SS's best combat speed feat to something the Flash can do casually? LOL
So yeah this whole argument that Surfer is fast as Wally is essentially just wankage. Someone seriously said Surfer searching the earth before DS could realize it made him faster then the Flash..........shame
I mean its even made pretty apparent that hes not as fast as he is in space while on earth whereas the Flash can maintain his level of speed anywhereAlso Wally can survive in a black hole by vibrating his molecules. That won't be the best tactic for SS to win this.
Flash is pretty uber. And when did he survive a black hole? I say Wally.

CIS off flash wins this easily. His instant speed over Surfer's instant speed is enough to make Surfer to appear as a statue.
If not, then CIS off flash just steals his speed to make him a statue.
Hell I don’t even know why speed stealing is being brought up to begin with. If anything, Surfer has greater opportunity to drain Flash by various means than Flash to Surfer. This is of course if you count on the fact that his Silver Coat protects him energy drainage.

Originally posted by Uriel005Which is why I posted protection, not immunity. On the other hand can you say the same about Flash? Are there any example that Flash hold some form of protection from Surfers attempts to drain him?

A speed steal is not draining someone's energy, just their speed only.
Originally posted by "Id"His powers don't work like that (real science). He uses the speed force to steal speed. That is why he doesn't need to touch his target to steal their speed. He just does it. He was able to steal speed from characters who have resistance against energy draining attacks. This implies that it has nothing to do with real science but the fictional speed force.
It is a form of energy theft, since he is regulating kinetic or molecular energy for the purpose to impart or retrieve the targets speed.
Besides, all characters can be slowed down (loss of kinetic energy). Being able to resist energy draining attacks won't prevent this.

He's still stealing kinetic energy. That's been stated on panel.

in terms of body movement and agility, no. but in terms of displacement speed, his feats contend with flash's.
The Speedforce allows Flash to do things like race against instantaneous travel - I know ridiculous. The problem isn't SS top speed (which wouldn't matter to Flash honestly), it's his acceleration and reflex speed from a dead start, that's the problem, he's nowhere near speedster level in those departments.
I mean, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone that can say that SS can blitz a guy like Thanos. If he's not expected to do that, then how is he supposed to react to arguably the fastest guy in comicdom?
