In a fight, The Runner.
In a race, depends which Flash. Barry Allen smoking Superman semi-recently was very impressive. Plus Runner and Makkari already lost a race to a tribute version of Barry Allen.
In a fight, the Runner. He's ALMOST as fast, but with much higher stats. Speed tricks would be fun and give Wally a fighting chance, but unless he's in Anti-Monitor busting mode he ain't gonna win.
DC Hermes faced the Flash when he was much, much slower. It wasn't until Waid got ahold of him, had him go through the Return of Barry Allen and all his speed force revelations that he really started kicking it up.
Not exactly. Buried Alien (Barry Allen) was winning the race, had pulled ahead of both Makkari and the Runner, but saw that another contestant was trying to hurt Makkari and instead of going for the win disabled the guy. By the time he was done, it was too late to hope to win.
Makkari eventually won that race by tapping into the Grosembeek method, which allowed him to achieve lightspeed or so (according to the narration), which allowed him to pull ahead of the Runner.
Runner explained that the problem with the method was that once one employed it, one couldn't slow back down to normal speeds. Buried Alien and Makkari went off to find a way to get him back to normal.
Most of that appears to have been ignored/retconned, as Makkari was back in Gaiman's Eternals mini, and then the ongoing series that followed it.
I don't want to seem unrelated but can someone tell me how to make a custom avatar?I got so tired of not having a custom i just selected a premade one.

I really, really liked Gruenwald's writing actually. His Quasar series sort of lost it towards the end (and the Starblast crossover was awful), but he put out a lot of great stuff, and "Cosmos In Collision" remains, in my eyes, one of the best cosmic epics Marvel has ever done (and far better than its more popular contemporary, Infinity Gauntlet).
Not to the best of my knowledge, not since Wally started increasing his speed again.
Of course Hermes has borderline reality manipulating abilities and is a god, so I'm not going to say that Flash would win in a fight. Just that, speed wise, I'd imagine that Flash is at least as fast these days.
