Against opponents not named Zoom, they rarely contribute much, and equally rarely display HH abilities.

Wally and Barry have to be the overall weakest in reality, not necessarily powerset of any characters mentioned here.


Take one or two feats and generalise them. You got flashes.

Flash suffers from the no limit fallacy syndrome based on the power source.

He is powerful in my book, just not that powerful.

He can be touched by people who can calculate trajectories, move fast or that just plain and simple beings that defy comic logic.

They're the CIS off herald kings in these boards.

Look at how well Wally handled Supergirl when he was holding back and she was trying to kill him.

DCnU fight? Oh nvm that was Barry.

No; Wally hasn't appeared since the reboot.

Guess I'll start reading the new Flash comics then 😄

Also, can anyone educate me on Orion. Not being a dick, but everyone mentions the Astro Force/Motherbox but all I ever see from him is punching things or shooting from his little scooter.

It wasn't really intended on being in any order outside of the order they popped into my head.

Orion with the Astro Force has wrecked planets and has nearly destroyed Earth without targeting it directly. He also once KO'd a younger Superman without trying too hard.

Orion fights are amazing but his lifting fts are terrible. Every time he has been put into a situation where he has to lift something, he has failed and not enormous items either, I'm talking about items that Thing or Colossus could toss with one hand.

Lifting/pushing/pulling feats mean jackshit ultimately. They're nice and it helps to quantify exactly how much weight a character can move in a specific instance, but it doesn't equate into said character faring well in combat feats.

Doomsday and Darkseid have very little in the way of lifting/pushing/moving feats, unlike J'onn who's helped a couple of times on that front. And there's no doubt that either one of them would beat the shit out of J'onn.

True, but you can take someone far more consistent and overall less prone to jobbing like Wonder Woman, who has plenty of shared lifting feats and still know that in spite of Doomsday or Darkseid not having those feats or even better ones, in a fight, she'd get worked.

I agree...I would rank Orion as one of the head honchos but his lifting fts does suck. I wouldn't relly on him to move a mountain if one was about to fall on a city.

I already discussed this with Galan and I agreed with him...lifting fts doesn't weigh a character.

It's funny because even in the JL/JLU series, outside of a few episodes centered around him, he's always getting his ass kicked or probing someone's mind and spazzing out.
