reasonable? oh, absolutely. i spent several pages in some thread suggesting that ss could overcome the effects of the speed steal. odin and galactus should certainly be able to do so after an initial taste of it. but to dismiss it as impossible out of hand? not buying that at all. the thing is, marvel has no equivalent. we can only go by how it has affected dc characters of various levels. it has worked perfectly on guys like superman, and even powerful mystical entities like surtur. so i don't think it unreasonable to suggest that it COULD work (to varying degrees) on any herald, and that it may well affect even greater powers, for varying lengths of time. to my knowledge, no one has ever simply no-sold the attack.the other thing is--kinetic energy falls in the purview of the speed force. as a master of the speed force, it's not illogical to think flash's mastery over kinetic energy may well exceed ss's, though he may STILL have other avenues of attack.
s'all i'm saying. 🙂

Any powerful enough energy manipulator has the potential to resist. Energy is energy.
No one can block or shield their kinetic energy. Otherwise, they can't move if they do so.
