Wally was literally inside of Zoom's time-bubble with him, and his powers(even when heavily amped by the speed of Bart+Jay+Jesse) still didn't allow him to operate like that in the bubble... Nor has that ever been so much as implied on panel.

What's not computing? 😕

I don't mind being wrong.
This is the very first time anyone has gave counter evidence.

Just to clarify, did Wally ever actually have Zoom's ability to slow down time directly outside his own physical being (which is the actual time bubble I'm referring to)?

So that we are not arguing semantics, I'm using the unofficial term "time bubble" to mean "time dilation effect", which takes place ONLY in the space of Zoom's physical body.

If you're referring to a different "time bubble," then I ask - would any other human inside it, along with Zoom, operate at the same speed as Zoom (normal human speed)?

Do you have the issue number of this instance? I'd love to read about it.

In short: How fast you move within the time-bubble doesn't seem to matter. As Jay explained, the bubble itself(sliding ahead of the main timeline) is what makes Zoom appear fast from everyone else's perspective -- but if you're fast enough to get inside the time-bubble with Zoom, you can essentially do the same thing.

And again, to achieve that level of speed in the first place, Wally 'only' needed to absorb [some of] the speed of 3 lesser speedsters(ie. Bart+Jay+Jesse), which was just enough of an amp for him to break into Zoom's bubble:

Zoom: "You made it into MY world..."

*Note that Wally's personal speed, even while amped to previously unheard of levels, still didn't allow him to operate within the time-bubble like you're implying an unamped Barry could do in this thread. Why? Because the SF and Zoom's time-bubble just aren't compatible/don't stack that way.

And remember: Dr. Flobo would have a nigh-infinite supply of Wally-level speedsters to absorb speed from in this thread. Hence my previous statement...

If Wally+Bart+Jay+Jesse = Zoom, then Wally+Wally+Wally+Wally should definitely be > Zoom.

ie. With the ability to speed-steal from equally powerful clones, it means Dr. Flobo can absorb the speed of just 3 clones, and he should already be faster than Zoom. Just 4 clones and he's FAR faster. Just 5-6 clones and Zoom should be a statue.

Then factor in the sheer amount of clones that Dr. Flobo could potentially speed-steal from during his prep phase:

...And there is absolutely no way anyone is making a 'speedier' clone under these conditions, imho. Everyone would be a literal statue.


I really can't break this down any further, tbh. I get what you're trying to say, but it just... Doesn't work.

👆 qft.

imagine drafting ****ing ZOOM, and his speed is still useless. 😂

Remember, I'm having all of the clones essentially decapitate themselves in order to produce the *most* blood in the *shortest* amount of time, heal from that almost immediately, then do it all over again. Continuously. At superspeed... And while I understand that some characters might not be up for slicing off their own heads numerous times for the lulz(intentionally causing physical harm to yourself is a very difficult mental block for most to overcome)... But Dr. Flobo? He'd likely enjoy it:

Actually 50,000 drops seems like a lowball according to a few sites I've looked at. 👆

With prep in the picture would you still use your fusion "Fleech" against Dr Flobo Galan?

And like I added, the Wally that is at Zoom's level (with Bart/Jay/Jesse's speed, i.e. at human levels relative to each other) can then add billions of Wallys (any one of whom is fast enough to match Barry, let alone billions) to utterly stomp Barry.

Well don't forget that's for a normal human.

Flobo is healing at lightspeed at the same time, constantly making more and more blood. By the time the '50,000th' drop of blood is out, he'd have made another 50k etc etc.

Sort of, but I might actually sub-out Barry for Vril Dox in this case? So Vril + Fate + Leech = *Vateech?

Vril: for his extremely haxx auto-shields and 10th-level intellect.
Fate: for his passive immunity to magic.
Leech: for his passive negation of all superpowers in his vicinity.

Vril already knows how to create bio-weapons that can attack Czarnian physiology and wipe out their abilities(he has done so before), so during his prep phase I'd just have him [re]create such a weapon and rig it to detonate the instant the match starts. IF said weapon didn't outright cripple/kill the clone army, it would at least shut down the Czarnian component of Dr. Flobo's powerset entirely. So even under the most idealistic circumstances, this only leaves Flobo with a few remaining options:
1.) Attacking by way of the SF, which I would be immune to. *thx Leech*
2.) Attacking by way of magic, which I would be immune to. *thx Fate*
3.) Attacking by way of physical or energy attacks, which I would be immune to. *thx auto-shields*

IOW, even IF the Flobo-army were left standing after the bio-weapon was deployed, Vateech should still be effectively immune to all of their remaining attack-options(and/or able to passively nullify an initial blitz long enough for the weapon to take effect)... Then it's just a matter of walking around the battlefield and cleaning up the remnants. Or something.

I think I'd go

Animal Man
Mister Sinister
Loki

Interesting. Is Superman still above the herald tier?

I *think* Supes got bumped up to trans before the decision was made to keep him off the list.

How does giving up a speedster solve your statue issue though? 😕

^ Because everyone will be a statue to Dr. Flobo anyway. Barry was really only there to counter SF hijinks and whatnot, but Leech fills that role as much as my amalgam would need, I think.

I mean... I don't really "need" superspeed for my strat(though it would be nice to have), because all of my defensive abilities are passive/instantly "on" -- so I don't have to be faster than Dr. Flobo to still be capable of nullifying all of his powers.

Also remember, my bio-weapon would be rigged to detonate the instant the battle started(ie. the payload would be delivered the exact same moment that Flobo was able to blitz)... And with the passive shielding gleaned by Vril+Fate+Leech, Vateech should be able to negate the initial blitz(be it knowingly or unknowingly) long enough for the bio-weapon to take effect.

👆

He's using auto shields and auto bombs, essentially. Time =0.00000000000000000seconds, the bombs go off and his shields go up.

Exactly. 👆

Why say many words when few words good?

Just read everything you posted, and I believe you're mistaken here.

First, answer this question so I understand you correctly:

Assume everyone is wearing a watch.

Do you believe that Barry having Zoom's ability to slow actual time (where his watch ticks faster than everyone else's) while still operating at superspeed in that slowed time (while Zoom can only operate at human speed in that slowed time) isn't true because it took multiple speedsters' speed to amp Wally in order to match Zoom? If so, then

Wally's time was never dilated after the amp, meaning he was never inside Zoom's time bubble where their watches would tick at the same rate. Instead, Wally simply became faster to match Zoom's time dilation. Time didn't slow down for Wally - he just sped up.

Think of the instance when the Fantastic Four, along with Thor and Iron Man, traveled into the future and got caught in a time dilation, appearing to move at superspeed from Gladiator's perspective. Gladiator had to speed up to match them, but his watch still ticked at a much slower rate than theirs because his time was normal.

Zoom is analogous to the Fantastic Four, while Wally is to Gladiator. Wally had to nearly triple his speed and perception to match and perceive Zoom.

Further clarification :

In the scans above, after the amp, Wally's watch would still tick at the same rate as a normal person's (one second on his watch equals one real second). However, Zoom's watch would tick at a different rate because he's time-dilated - each second on Zoom's watch would correspond to something like 1/3 of an attosecond on Wally's and everyone else's watches.

To simplify: imagine I can turn a knob on my watch to slow time down, making me appear three times faster than Wally. Now, if Wally has the same watch and turns the knob to slow time to the same rate as mine (the seconds of our watches tick at the same rate), I would move at normal human speed while Wally would still retain his powers and remain faster than me - just as he would be compared to a normal human under everyday conditions.

I did - I promise. That's how I know you're mistaken.

Wally's time was never dilated after he was amped; he was never in Zoom's time bubble. He was simply sped up. Speeding up doesn't actually slow down time, it just increases your perception speed.

And I don't think you read my entire post, given how quickly you responded. I could be completely wrong here. I just believe You likely skimmed through parts of it and dismissed it because you're already convinced you're right. If that's the case, it's natural - we all do that sometimes. If not then, I'm flat out wrong.

I see. But why not just stick with Barry then? He seems like a much more versatile choice.

What am I missing lol?

Barry won't be as fast as a wally amped by a billion clones - IOW, he's a wasted pick. He will be a statue just as much as anyone else.

Otoh, Vril brings intelligence (that has actually worked against Lobo in the past) and shields that enter the match automatically up.

Ahh okay. That makes sense. 👆
