He has no history of being blitzed or dominated speedwise the way that Hulk, Thor and Surfer have. BM is actually a character with practically no low showings.
There was never any indication of Miss America having superspeed until Monica observes her moving in slow motion while Monica is in light speed mode. No blur lines before or after and when BM knocks out Ultimate Hulk, we see a blur circle that is indicative of a speed attack. What kills me is this speed dominance commonly embraced by DC fans that isn't supported by the comics.
Forum rules, brah.
A character like the Flash is not going to get hit by someone substantially slower than him unless they have some counter to his powers. Simple as that. Wally West isn't Superman (and I'm going to get in to this in a later post). He can't afford to get hit more than once or twice before it starts to actually impact his ability to win the fight. And this, at the end of all of this ranting on the subject, is where I try to lay it out as best as I can:The Flash/Relevant Character X will use, at a bare minimum, the least amount of speed/Relevant Power, that he is capable of using under average/normal circumstances, required to not lose the fight, or get so badly injured that it will most-likely cost him the fight. Every superhero or supervillain has a minimum amount of effort and competence that they will utilise going in to a fight. For villains that's usually a higher starting point because they like to not hold back, sure, but the heroes aren't going to be stupid either. They are not going to self-sabotage, and they will not let pride, ego or forgetting they have a way to win the fight to get in the way.
-If you put Flash up against someone that can't beat him without PIS, that's not his fault. That's yours.
-If you put Shadowcat up against someone that can't get around her intangibility without PIS, that's not her fault. That's yours.
-If you put someone up against Xavier that can't get past his telepathy to push him down the stairs, again, that's not his fault. That's yours.
WW is bloodlusted here. She has her standard gear (not getting into Golgo's points, lol). So that's her sword, shield, lasso, tiara.
You say BM has no low showings. But neither does he have ANY high speed feats, either. All you are doing is scaling off his opponents....well, WW has fought and tagged Flash, care to match speed feats between Flash and Namor? Flash and Hyperion? Sentry? I mean, this is the character who blocked the Omega Beams in her first appearances, then stabbed DS' eyes out. Said beams were nearly hitting Flash. She's pretty much the best at dealing with long range energy attacks - and the Omega Beams are way more versatile than BM's antimatter.
At the end of the day, for BM to win, WW has to stand there and allow herself to get hit. Or to slow herself down just so he has a chance.
But this is a forum fight, not a comic fight.
We have DS (at pretty much point blank range; certainly shorter than the 500m both combatants start at):

But yeah, somehow, BM is going to be able to get a bubble around her as she stands there and lets him bubble her up. A bloodlusted WW, no less.
