@ smurph,
sorry man, not ignoring you, missed your post,
Ok let’s say I’ll accept that Wally can speed steal within close proximity without physical contact. Eventhough we don’t know if contact was made in that scan that was posted earlier. They were flying in small Circles all the flash needed to do was to tap superman while speaking with him.
But let’s say Wally is able to speed steal without contact.
in a forum battle, Wally starts off with speed steal and Superman starts with a bull rush.
In the scan that was used by phil earlier, wally speaks of speed stealing. There’s a reason he didn’t speed steal there, why? Because he tells us that Superman wasn’t going lo just stop and become a statue. He was afraid that he would become a bullet going thousands of miles an hour. Bottom right of the scan.
Superman’s bull rush momentum carries him in Wally’s direction, the momentum creates kinetic energy. Superman can transfer that energy into his finger tips and finger flicks it while passing Wally for the KO.
Superman just needs one hit, while Wally could put in a 1000 years of punches into one punch and still not be able to ko Superman.
Side note, I’m not using this in the argument but it should be mentioned.
Superman has control of the kinetic energy in his body, theoretically he could even resist Wally from stealing it long enough to ko him.
