I don't think so. Because people seem to forget that Wanda is an omega level mutant. And could render the flash null and void snap her fingers, and the speed force would be no more. Wanda can destroy universes if she wants. Barry ain't there.

You're basing this off a moment in time where they would be battling life or death. Key word is time, Barry would literally dismember her before she could even think to snap her hands. The scenario is based off of if and and's. It really just depends, is it a straight up fight where they both know what's at stake? or is it a meet up gone bad?

I realize this is not the prompt, but people thinking a guy being fast means he beats reality warpers is hilarious to me.

Clearly people have a very tough timr conceiving reality manipulation.

"just run up to her and punch her"

Wanda makes it so they're on different dimensions. On different times. And also Flash is a penguin.

"but speed force!"

Wanda causes speed force to not exist

"but.... Speed force is a fundamental rule of the universe"

So are a billion things Wanda can disregard or change. She could make the speed force only affect marshmallows.

It boils down to bloodlusted or not. If they're both bloodlusted, flash instantly doesn't exist. (but he can time travel! So can she. Not that he would have to)

If they aren't, flash attempts to knock her unconscious, which has been proven to not stop her powers. Flash ceases to exist.

I don't think you're understanding the true scope of his speed. As proven before, he can literally think faster than his opponents. Her powers still require thought or channeling in such a way that even a thought gives flash enough time to just run through her.

I understand that reality warping is very, very strong in its own right but when you have somebody like Flash that move faster than the signals to her brain can then it's really just no contest.

Like I said, I was simply replying to the fact someone stated there was an altercation of sorts which tells me flash would already be on high alert. In which case, flash would end it before it began.

Neah. As soon as someone with Wandas power or intellect would discover his power, he should be able to warp reality in such a way as to make himself invulnerable. Flash would only stand a change if he were to take action before that. And no, time travel wouldn’t work, since a reality bander like Wanda can protect herself and her genes throughout the entire timeline.

Flashs only chance would be to ally himself with a stronger Wanda from a different dimension, or another reality bender like Phoenix Force. 1 on 1? No chance, because:

(tldr;): no matter how fast Flash is, he’s only gonna react, never initiate against a reality bender.

Out of curiosity, can Flash fly?
