I think if the Speedforce miraculously appeared in MU, and Flash was the ONLY character who could tap into it, he would be like a god. I'm talking uber-powerful, Kingdom Come Flash powerful, where he would be pretty much defeating all crimes everywhere simultaneously. He would make the Avengers redundant.

"This guy runs so fast he can run a finity lightyears before you sneeze!" "Oh yea well MY character is so powerful he destroyed infinity universes down to only six!" "That's nothing! I made a elf and with the snap of his fingers he destroys all bajillion universes!"
Totally agree.
Yes I've noticed DC has a bunch of characters with super speed. Whereas Marvel has a shitload of telepaths.
But Flash would be pretty deadly, especially Wally. Speed steal is hard to stop.
EDIT: Also, saying "Marvel doesn't give characters ridiculous powers and feats" is just plain wrong. Do you read Marvel? It has plenty of stuff like that.

I'm not saying Marvel doesn't do it, I'm saying they do it less. For every 1 ridiculously powered Marvel character DC has 12.

They seem to be pretty even on the "people with ridiculous powers/feats" list. For one thing Marvel has far more cosmic characters that are active. Galactus, Odin, Eternity, Celestials, Beyonders, etc. and on and on.

I don't think that the Flash would be any less powerful in the Marvel U versus the DC U. What I do believe would happen, is that he would fade into obscurity because Marvel would then have to reduce the popularity, or share the stage that it has set for its more popular characters. The Flash is in fact one of the most amazing characters to have ever been created. What I mean is although he isn't invincible, you have to literally chase this guy down, and catch him before you could exploit any weakness found in him. Unfortunately, I see him being as popular in Marvel as Quick Silver, the Runner, Makari etc are. People just tend to gravitate towards the strongman character.

99 percent of his posts are in Marvel Cosmic threads including Shuma, Galactus, Dormammu, Vishanti, Cytorrak, etc, .. . . complains Flash is too powerful and written terribly.
For the record, Flash's consistency in great writers is right up with Daredevil and Batman. Basically, as good as it gets in comics.

Except it's not..both DC and Marvel are pretty much even when it comes to ridiculous shit. I'm a fan of both and Ive seen crazy shit from both and it wasn't "oh it's rare in Marvel but in DC I see it all the time" either.
