Team Speedforce win.

Thanos is a non factor. If Runner had him about to shit himself just think what this team would do.

Team two wins. They are just too powerful, and the very world that the battle would take place on would be obliterated. Where would the speedsters go or do then?

Prep-Man
How would they touch the speedsters?

Stoic
Who said anything about touching them?

Uriel005
Thanos gets crushed. Voidtry needs to get BFR'd into speedforce Mar-Vell gets taken out though.

Stoic
^ Oh boy. You do know that a black hole was unable to crush Thanos right?

Rookie green lanterns handle the black holes. Black holes are the biggest jobbers in the comics alongside lasers and eternity.

Runner would beat Flash like a redhead stepshild.
He's the Surfer's superior in strenght. What Flash can do about that? Plus, he was tapping in the space gem.

Team 2 murder team 1.

Just like SBP did, right? Only subconsciously IIRC. What other speed feats thanos has?

Runner vs. Flash is irrelevant. Thanos is.
He wasn't tapping the SG. It only allowed him to teleport vast distances. He was blitzing Thanos under his own power.

Team 2 murder team 1. First off, even though Runner isn't in this battle, he would stand absolutely NO chance against Flash merged with the ENTIRETY of the speed force (as he is in this thread.) Secondly, Runner was NOT tapping the gem when he trounced Thanos--he only used it to subconsciously teleport across vast distances. I do believe that was explicitly stated.

As for this match: in the opening attoseconds of the battle Flash could drain all of Thanos/Marv's kinetic energy, leaving them petrified. Then, in another attosecond or two, he could dump Void in the speed force.

In all likelihood, this battle wouldn't last more than 4-5 attoseconds, tops. ermm13

Ok, I hope I don't sound dumb when I say this but how fast is a attosecond?

^ Yeah, and the funny thing is that Flash, at standard levels, can perceive/react on an attosecond-by-attosecond basis:
http://s4d4.turboimagehost.com/t1/11351325_flashreaction2.jpg


Hell, even when Bart Allen was a kid, he could react by the attosecond:
http://s4d4.turboimagehost.com/t1/11351324_flashreaction.jpg


And in this thread, Flash is merged with the ENTIRE speed force (he's not just leeching energy from it like Flashes usually do.) I doubt time -even units as miniscule as attoseconds- would even apply to him at that point--tacking on the Zooms is blatant overkill.

The Marvel team has NO way to win, imo.

Why would DC even grant someone this kind of power? Insane. This battle comes down to the Flashes punching power. All of that speed is worthless if you can't drop your opponent and its rare for any Flash to dump someone into the speed force unless there is a major event.

Galan007
^ In forum battles, all abilities are up for grabs. This means speed/kinetic energy stealing, infinite mass punches, and speed force dumping are up for grabs.

Speedsters win.

Need more? The artificial black hole was used to try and kill Thanos, it failed. You can't compare the black holes or plot device attacks such as black holes as evidence here.

They all look pre crisis. Gl's aren't anywhere near on the same level of Thanos. Thanos has weathered blasts from Tyrant, Odin, a well nourished Galactus, Maker, etc. Trying to use a black hole feat from most likely precrisis as some means of relevance to these characters is full of fail. It's absurd.

But so far the only evidence that has been presented favors the Flashes. If a dude can perceive events on an attosecond basis, and has the requisite speed to actually react to said events then you haven't a prayer in hell of touching them.

C'mon guys, Flash can throw a trillion galaxy destroying punches in less than 1/1000000th of an atto-pico-nano-micro second. Team 2 has no chance. Give team 2 the IG and HOTU and they still get stomped.

And that's the eternal conundrum when debating about the Flashes. One would basically have to argue that every instance of them being tagged is PIS. Funnily enough, quite a bit of it does involve some sort of plot device type shyte.

Personally I generally stay away from debates involving KMC Flash.

Ignored yes, misinterpreted I don't see how. The rule basically states all vibrating, IMPs, time travel, speed well beyond light etc. tactics are game every time.

Flash would have to be depowered in the op by the thread starter so he won't stomp a majority of the characters.

See, I don't agree with that because it has to be tempered by the "in character" rule as well. So if you're going to argue imp's, speed steal etc, then (imo) you're obligared to demonstrate that this is how he'd approach any given battle within the confines of his character. There's got to be a healthy medium. Because if not, I'm going to have a field day opening stargates in/on people and insta damage healing in Nova debates.

So, it was created to kill thanos and it failed. What's so awesome about it? Nope, some are PC which are canon to gls, some are post crisis and the one with modern art was from GL:recharge. I wasn't talking about those feats, I was talking about how tanking black holes is no big deal.

It depends on the writer. Some writers are more hard sci-fi in their approach and thus a black hole would be written as a big deal. But generally you're prolly right.

Using Flash as an example, the rule explains what "in character" means.

I honestly have no beef with that approach if that's what's being argued. But Sundipped was trying to sell IMP'S and speed steals etc right out of the gate.

Galan007
Those should be a viable tactics...



And considering for the purposes of this thread, Flash essentially IS the speed force, speed stealing and IMP's would likely be small-time feats for him. /shrug

I don't know about "destroying" someone. I'm talking more along the lines of, "I'd better get the phuck outta here before I get sucked into this black hole" kind of deal. In other words, they'd rather not deal with it.

Argument for in character power usage aside in character nothing touches them and they don't tire. In character they are going to do their best to avoid being hit while moving at top speed to make sure they don't get hit. In character they scale up as the fight goes on but they never actually exhaust themselves considering that at the least Barry was running for years at top speed in the Speedforce no need for food or anything. So they will dodge until they scale response that will eventually hit the need for IMP and lightspeed spam punches.

In the case of someone like Flash it means he WILL use his powers to their best, but he wouldn't do anything that might directly kill them--as killing an opponent WOULD be out of character. However blitzing, speed stealing, speed force dumping, and IMP'ing are tactics he's used before (w/o killing his opponent.) There is absolutely no reason to assume he wouldn't use those abilities in a forum battle--especially when the rules explicitly use him as an example of 'going all out'.

That's how I interpret it, at least. /shrug

Over 99% of flash showings doesn't have him getting tagged by much slower enemies. So we are not ignoring 99% of his showings in a favor of a few feats. Rather you are.

Like Dmills said it really depends on the writer. Marvel tends to use them as incredible forces in the universe as they should be. Black holes in the Marvel U take the approach that not even light can escape their pull, and that any matter trapped within them would be crushed into sub atomic particles. DC seems to regard them as they would a freakish thunder storm. After all it took far less than a black hole to put Superman on his back, or beat the tar out of a rookie Green Lantern. What Thanos survived was hell, and we all know that Thanos can survive a hell of a lot more than a rookie Green Lantern can, based on what we have seen on panel.

It's obvious that the one Thanos survived was far greater than the one that Terrax lived in. That story was also very poorly written. You are speaking of the one that Dazzler becomes the Herald of Galactus correct? That story was so bad, that I question if it is canon.

You aren't suggesting that a Lantern is a match for Thanos are you? nonetheless a Rookie Lantern at that. DC tends to regard black holes the way that Marvel regards freakish storms. The couple of times that Marvel may have regarded a black hole as a place that a sentient could kick back and watch tv should be regarded as poor writing. If you're logic held any weight in this particular situation, a Rookie GL, or Superman himself would use Galactus as a welcome mat.

Got any proof that the black hole which was used for thanos was superior to that in which terrax lived instead of "OH NOES, ITS THANOS". I don't like a lot of stories, doesn't makes them non canon. You're completely missing my point, you stated that a black hole was unable to crush thanos like it was some super-duper feat which its not. Surfer regularly and casually walks in black holes, BRB has endured black holes etc. Its the same in both companies, black holes are jobbers in both dc and marvel.

vince_slice
It should be noted the size of the black hole matters, just like the size of an explosion. The size and destructive power of a black hole is related to its mass in the singularity. The greater the mass, the greater space-time is warped and ripped, and hence bigger the black hole. The black hole Thanos tanked was 4 light years in diameter. That is super massive, enough to engulf countless solar systems. Just food for thought.

The idea that Thanos has taken more damage on panel than a GL rookie is proof enough. For the black hole to have done that amount of damage to Thanos simply means that Superman and a rookie GL would have been in loads of trouble. I'm not sure if you are trying to low ball Thanos. I'm not trying to prop him up, but he has his durability feats, and on average they are a good deal greater than even big blues.

dmills
Thanos has survived blackholes. We've also seen him say "let's gtfoh because a singularity is beginning to form" during Annihilation: Silver Surfer. Neither instance is contradictory. It just means that he can deal if need be, he just would rather avoid it altogether which quite honestly is right in line with the character's persona. Thanos is generally an efficient dude that while insanely powerful, he often takes the path of least resistance to get the job done.

Think of it like this. You're a professional boxer hanging out at say, a bar having a few drinks with a nice young lady (or dude if that's your thing) when "too much to drink guy" starts making trouble harassing you etc. You, as a pro boxer, are comfortable in the knowledge that if need be you could kick this guy's ass, but then you'd have to deal with the hassle of the fight itself, bar security, maybe law enforcement gets involved and of course, inevitably, the lawyers. Rather then deal with that hassle you maybe just laugh the guy off, call security or better yet just leave with the chick. All better options then dealing with the hassle of a bar fight.

Yeah but for everything within 2 lightyears to be instantly sucked in still would require the singularity to be larger then a super massive black hole. Much larger.

No one team 1 has the power to put down any of team 2

No suprised people trying to lowball Thanos surving inside a closed Black Hole then teleporting out later

Actually the black hole was a miniature black hole and thanos wasn't explicitly shown in the black hole. His ship was destroyed in an attempt to escape and I think that thanos is fast enough to teleport before sucked in the black hole.

The greater the mass, the greater space-time is warped and ripped, and hence bigger the black hole. The black hole Thanos tanked was 4 light years in diameter. That is super massive, enough to engulf countless solar systems. Just food for thought. Thanos is just awesome. I feel bad for anyone who runs into him(me) on a bad day.

Heh, "LOLZ YOU THOUGHT THOR CAN BEAT THANOS, IT WAS A CLONE.LOOK AT MY CLONEZZZZZZ BEATING THOR, CLONEZ I SAY". Sometimes reading starlin's thanos it feels like he was jerking off when thinking about thanos.

A black hole that can instantly suck in everything within a radius of 2 light years is not a miniature black hole. It's a super massive black hole, with a mass/weight of god knows how many suns, to be able to have that type of reach (and instantly too). But I'm not surprised a comic writer would make that mistake, it's not like learning astronomy is a pre-requisite to write comics. Although, it probably would help if you're writing sci-fi or cosmic stuff.

Also, I don't see any narration or art depiction that would suggest Thanos teleported away just before the black hole sucked everything in.

It also states everything within a 2 light year radius was sucked in instantly, this is big enough to engulf countless solar systems. If Starlin wants to call it a "miniature" black hole it's fine by me. But, labeling it as such doesn't diminish it's destructive power shown on panel.

That's like saying if an explosion destroys a planet, and the author labels it a small explosion, it some how makes it less impressive. Like you said, "that's not how it works".

^Where did I diminish its destructive power?

Ok, follow up research.

Currently the largest black hole known has an event horizon "about five times the distance between our sun and Pluto."

Distance from Sun to Pluto = 0.000624133538 light years
5x distance from Sun to Pluto = 0.00312066769 light years

A black hole with an event horizon of 4 light years is still about 1,282 times larger than the largest black hole ever recorded, if I've done my math correctly./

Apparently this is suppose to be a "miniature" black hole, yet it's 1,282 times larger than the largest black hole recorded so far. I don't think Starlin knows how big 2 light years is.

If the diameter of the solar system is 0.001248 light years (assuming the radius of the solar system is from the sun to Pluto), and the black hole Thanos tanked was 4 light years in diameter, it would mean it was big enough to swallow 3,205 solar systems. This makes Superman tanking the equivalent of 50 supernovas look pretty miniscule doesn't it abhiligend? wink

This is why I originally refrained from using calculations, because it starts to get ridiculous when applied to comics. I'll just use to qualitative approach, and say the black hole is really, really big and powerful.

Blight
So I guess the question becomes "Was it really 2 light years we believe Thanos Tanked" or

"The author embelished how big it was and really it was a miniature black hole"

Sounds like the author is an idiot either way...

It was stated on panel to be 2 light years in radius, and the author labeling it as miniature won't change that fact. He could call the black hole anything he wants, it still wouldn't change the fact that it swallowed everything within 2 light years radius.

Unless Starlin is like my friend who said "Dude, did you see Jeremy? He ate like a MILLION chicken nuggets last night!!"

That's how I feel about Starlin's writing of Thanos, hahaha! Thanos is my friend's friend Jeremy.

I'm not sure what are you trying to say here. The narration says that thanos' ship was destroyed in an attempt of escape and the black hole only lasted 30 seconds. Thanos isn't a fool to endure the black hole for long and then teleport out of it.

Its made clear the only thing that remained was some small debris,fact it showed the debris which Thanos wasnt amongst it.

It was even shown and stated on panel the Skrull ship didnt pass the exact point where the Black Hole occured untill a couple of hourse later, thats when Thanos teleported aboard, lowball it all you want it only makes you look worse.

You show me any of them phasing through blasts as powerful as what Thanos uses.

How am I lowballing it? Did I say something about his durability being lowered? So thanos endured two hours in a black hole even though it collapsed in 30 seconds? Wut, what doess the power of blast has to do with intangibility? Does it makes them tangible somehow?

It was an unstable black hole which collapsed on itself. There was no indication that it was closed on thanos remaining in it. Thanos can't teleport to long distances? Totally different form of intangibility, vision uses density manipulation while flashes make their atoms slide through matter and energy ala shadocat.

[/QUOTEIt wasny unstable at all stop lying it was a artificial black Hole created for a purpose, the whole point of showing it was to shown Thanos so called perishing in the black hole, you are as bad as carver seriously its all explained on panel by Adam Warlock.

He doesnt use density manip when phasing.

What would you call a black hole which collapses on itself in 30 seconds? Wut, vision don't uses density manipulation while phasing? Go to flash respect thread, there are plenty of feats.
