Ah, I thought this was a race. Anyway, what kind of combat feats does BR have that put him over Runner in that case?
A) Good question, I don't follow DC much but his recent costume change is totally bad@$$ and I'm interested in the character 😄
B) Even if it was a race, sans the Space Gem, I think BR can take the Runner. Makkari beat the Runner and Buried Alien (aka Flash pastiche) was ahead of him in the race too until he dropped out to save Makkari from a cheater.
In Final Crisis, didn't BR almost catch Flash and kill him till he encountered a dying Darkseid and then tried to claim him?
In a fight, I don't think the Space Gem adds much except for mobility. The Gems aren't really that impressive without the Power Gem backing them.

Even if the Runner can run away, I don't see how he wins 😕

Except that he can arrive before he leaves with it. If speed is king here, I don't see how BR can beat Runner while he has the gem. Even subconsciously tapping into it made him the "fastest" character in the universe at the time.

I'm well aware of the Runner's combat feats. I'm just not sure how he's going to hurt the Black Racer...
