The Flash vs The Runner

Text-only Version: Click HERE to see this thread with all of the graphics, features, and links.



GN.
Strongest Flash, Barry or Wally not sure who has the best feats.

Fight 1 The Runner without his space gem
Fight 2 with his space gem

If its rape for the runner its both Barry and Wally vs him.

ultimatethor
Runner

Bouboumaster
The first one, I don't know.

The second one, the Runner have owned Thanos in his second most humilious defeat ever. So I say the Runner

Astner
KC Flash vs Runner with SG would be cool, though I think Flash would win.

Faceman
Runner by far. He humiliated Surfer, and can stand up to Thanos.

Sirius77
Flash wins the first one.

The second one I'm not sure about.

psycho gundam
runner in both cases.

the runner doesn't need the space gem, he stated that it transported him anywhere he was planing to go to instantaneously with out willing it. it didn't influence his speed at all.

and the golden cosmic glaze that is the runner's skin is on par if not stronger than the silver surfer's.

plus the runner has the ability to make a beings like him just by being in his presents, even a blood lusted opponent loses their rage steadily just by being near him.

so the runner is:
-as fast as the surfer (even in space)
-as durable
-more powerful (at the time they fought)
-totally immortal
-causes opponents to not want to fight him

Sirius77
He has like three feats?

And explain to me what evidence leads you to believe that he is as durable as surfer.

And he may be remarkably long lived, but the time gem showed that he is not immortal.

However, the making others not want to fight him thing is what would probably make him win this.

All this is true except the totally imortal part. His durability is at least on par with Surfers for being able to travel just as fast thru deep space and thanks to the big bang energies of the Power Primordial.

The Runner is immortal he is 5 billions years old. Since curse by Death he can't die at all, The Runner is class 100 in strength, has energy projection that can blow up a planet, runs at warp-speed, indestructible, has great fighting ability. Both cases The Runner wins he will put Flash in a Coma.

psycho gundam
1)well, he lacks a title of his own and his emotion powers kind of make him the worst choice for a main villain. plus he is a baby now rememberwink

2)the runner was introduced as surfer's superior in his first showing.
plus galactus gave the surfer the silver cosmic glaze to withstand micro-meteors and other space hazards that ftl speeds create.
the writers gave the runner a golden one to symbolize his superior power (gold >silver get it). maybe galactus encountered the the runner before he created the surfer as the elders were battling him for millions if not billions of years.

3) he is immortal in the sense that his spirit is immortal, his body will age but over time he will notice the change and simply make himself look young again with his matter manipulation.

plus death barred the elders from her realm so he can't die, period.
he can only go to oblivion's realm, the realm of the nullified.

4)yup, the only one that power didn't fully work on was thanos because he lacks pleasure centers in his brain. his brother eros has a similar power and throughout their lives it has never worked on thanos.

He is not immortal. Thanos with the time gem aged him into an old man in the matter of a page.

Class 100 strength? Did you read that in a bio? Show me scans.

He's blown up a planet? Scans.

Great fighting ability? His presence makes people not want to fighterm

again, his spirit is immortal.

the contemplator's head was torn off by reptyl prime but his spirit lived on regardless, he is now a cosmic ghost.

and the grandmaster cheated in a game with death so that she would bar the elders from her realm forever(it was his origional plan).

the runner was consumed by galactus in the elders effort to destroy him, the elders including the runner survived in the "stomach" of galactus until freed.

I see what you're saying, friend. But he has very few feats that truly judge his powerlevels imo, and has only made like three apearences.

He was introduced as someone that made surfer not want to fight, and out speeded him.

I understand the gold>silver thing, and that may be true regarding currency, but that doesnt mean that gold from the metal men can beat surfer. It's an opinion. A good, plausible opinion. But an opinion nonetheless. I dont doubt that they look the same, but that doesnt mean that they are.

I see what your saying, but isnt nullification death?

Interesting. I see your points, and I do agree that the runner would win this by default, as the Flash has pleasure centers in his brain.

psycho gundam
about his power level-

the elders tap into the remnants of the energies of the big bang(sort of like galactus does), they originally wanted to kill galactus because he was the only being older than them and they believed that with him gone they could use the infinity gems to destroy and rebirth the universe with all of them granted a larger portion of the energies making them all galactuses. (if galactus was left alive they thought he would get a further power boost)

so in essence each elder is a mini galactus. their power is not only cosmic but linked to eternity.

and concerning nullification-

nullification is worst than death as death(in comics) isn't really the end of a being entirely, as they can be revived by magic, power cosmic, etc.

thor has journeyed to hela's realm to retrieve a soul and he was successful, all he had to do was go to hel, walk past garm the hell hound, journey across the bridge which takes 9 days no matter how fast or slow you travel, walk past the goddess of the gate, snatch the soul from hela, beat the goddess of the gate(she only prevents souls from leaving), go back across the bridge, beat garm(he too prevents souls from leaving) then get back to earth. see, dieing isn't that bad.big grin

nullification is what happens when your atoms/soul is erased.

Sundipped
Zoom would be a better match for Runner.

Endless Mike
This has been done many times before

janus77
OMG Flash is hideously overrated, what on earth makes people push for Flash against someone who humbled The Surfer? someone who nearly did the same to Thanos?

and neither of the above feats actually utilise the Space Gem, iirc, since he is (like the rest of his race) a bit stupid and incapable of operating the Gem consciously.


Runner wins this in a pico second.

come on, give Flash opponents he has a chance against, say Thor or Sentry or something.

ageing and mortality are not necessarily mutual.
like Banner in one story, he could just suffer the indignity of remaining decrepit for the rest of eternity, as his body remains indestructible yet weak.

CaptainStoic
Although there is a thread that exists similar to this one this is not a fist fight alone.

- Wally West vs The Runner -
----------------------------------

The 1st scenario is a race across the Universe and back. The length of this particular Universe spans 100 light years. There are two parts to this one though.

Part A. The Runner has the Space Gem.
Part B. The Runner does not have the Space Gem.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 2nd scenario is a speed fight in which the Runner does not have the Space Gem. The fight is sanctioned on a desolate planet the size of the earth so that the gravity is the exact same as ours.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since the Runner does not require food to replenish spent energy, and the Flash does, Hank Pym (Giant Man) and The Atom have combined their size reduction physics (or whatever) to have nutrients pumped into the Flash's body as the race/battle unfolds ( to make this somewhat fair).

Forge has designed a device that allows Wally to breath in space.

Rules.
There is no outside help, and no extra Go Go gadgets allowed (other than what has been designed for Wally).

I believe that speed feats for both can be found in the Comic Book Character Respect Section, so please feel free to dive right in. wink



Once and for all who wins this?

occultdestroyer
This is KMC,
so Wally wins by default.

the flashes will succumb to it, and end up buying the runner a beer.

I'm gonna go out on a limb, and say that his likability aura does not apply under forum rules. All combatants are trying to win and will use their full abilities. We've seen people attack Runner when they really wanted to attack him. Surfer being affected once is not an endorsement, because he wasn't fully committed to fighting him.

If it's in effect, he might have a shot. But if not, he can't beat either of them. They're both faster and more versatile than he is. And Speed-steal is a OHK against someone like him.

psycho gundam
lulz

the guy can create thrust in space by running within his own energy trail, i don't even want to know what he could achieve with actual ground under him.

the likability effect is the same as the one starfox has, it's part of his powers and emanates from him seemingly at all times, you wouldn't say starfox can't use it now would you?

leonidas
yeah, likeability is a "power" and should apply. what's runner's best feat sans the gem?

psycho gundam
beating the surfer

iirc they wer introduced later in the series.

and the runner could only tap into it subconsciously to teleport, his speed feats were all him.

to teleport? i thought he tapped it unconsciously to augment his natural abilities. in a race with makkari later, he lost. he would never have lost with the gem.

Naija boy
I think the runners best speed feat is running across galaxies in the time in took moondragon to scream or something like that.

the race with makkari was a homage to barry allen flash since makkari had to become one with this force analogous to the speed force in order to beat the runner.

the drawback was that any being who utilized the technique would be forever trapped in it, which is why the runner never wanted to use it since it would go against his lust for total freedom. and he didn't use his gem as well.

So the Flashes can steal his speed, but he cant use a power that he's been shown to use before?

It's a matter of comparison. Superman would have trouble trying to keep pace with Wally and Bart at once. Yet he has comparable space-travel feats to the fastest characters out there. Similarly - Green Lantern.

Wally and Bart obviously don't run in space very often, so they don't have 'ran to another galaxy' feats, for a reason.

i've no doubt that flash would have those kinds of feats--and he has even better ones i think.

stalemate at the least in the runner's case. if he wants to be away from flash then he can instantly, no matter the distance and flash would have no way other than actively searching for him to locate him

Runner.

agreed, since we have no idea wat it would be like if Barry actually tapped into the SF

Originally posted by psycho gundam

IIRC the Runner was barely using the SG when he had it, so while thats a POTENTIAL MOVE for him, whether he'd actually pull that off AND it being effective w/somebody as fast as SF-generating Barry is still debateable.




Tazer

psycho gundam
the elders had them for a short time between when thanos last owned them and after thanos quest, but he at least can subconsciously teleport when he needs to instinctively i presume even though his training/experience is lacking.

grandmaster only gave that one to him cause he knew that nobody would be able to get it from him if he was in danger cause he could just escape effortlessly.

he said sometimes he arrives before he even thinks about moving or some-such, so he has done it in some fraction of his normal travel.

Black bolt z
Sorry I meant to put up sceniaros
1:Who is faster
2:Who would win in a fight

Also could barry just completely drain runners speed?

lightyeargee
The Runner would win. Superior in Every way except maybe Speed. But with the gem he doesn't need speed when he'd be using his own speed plus teleportation. It would be like fighting Night Crawler with Flash level Speed. And the Runner is as strong as Superman and as dense as Thanos. And he's got energy powers.

He seemed to be physically Superior to Surfer and I don't see anyone being stronge than Surfer but types like Thor, Superman, Hulk. etc. And he moves so fast. Faster than Surfer. You'd have to be way dense in order to move that fast and not die from the tremendous pressures.

celeyhyga17
If this is avatar of speed force Barry, he wins.

Prep-Man
Pre-Crisis Barry would give Runner a fight. He did run circles around PC Superman, who can travel the multiverse in moments.

Going by their fight, Runner is only a few steps beyond Surfer. Thanos pretty much treated Surfer like an insect.

Wally could beat him. As far as I'm aware he is the fastest of the flashes and considering that the Speed Force is the ultimate measure of velocity in DC and of the Flashes Wally traverses the speed force barrier most often enough for it not to be called a PIS device for him. If he breaks the speed force barrier he beats Runner as there is no equivalent that I'm aware of in Marvel. The speed force barrier is above light time and dimensional barriers in DC so... I don't see how Runner can take this. Also Speed Steal is pretty much an instant loss for him.

I just realize OP said strongest Flash. Speed force Barry, Wally/Krakl, or many others ftw.

Uriel005
Wally strongest overall. In comparison to the other flashes regularly breaks the speed force barrier too often for it to be PIS. Him failing against Zoom is more CIS PIS than anything else at this point to stop him from being an unbeatable character.
