Talk:Sonic the Hedgehog vs The Flash/@comment-26865490-20151118232744/@comment-26418719-20151119012952

You'd think so at first, but actually, it's a bit more even than you'd think, Para.

Flash doesn't quite blitz (He had to strain his body to move ten times lightspeed), the Infinite Mass Punch isn't that powerful (Sonic has survived reality-warping blasts from beings like Enerjak, which makes the IMP not as dangerous as you might think [explodes with the force of a supernova]), Sonic has hax to counter Flash's hax (Both can phase through objects, Sonic has reality-warping via Chaos Control, which he could just use to wipe Barry, and by extension the Speed Force, from existence), and Sonic is VASTLY stronger, and in his Super Form, likely faster, too.

Everyone ALWAYS argues 'Speed Theft' but the issue is that Sonic is not governed by the Speed Force- every single being in the DC Universe is. Hell, it's where every incarnation of The Flash gets their power from, and it's using this connection which allows The Flash to deny his foes their speed. Plus, since I'm presuming it's Barry Allen fighting Sonic, it's unknown whether Flash actually has Speed Theft in the first place- he's featless in that regard. Barry is merely metahuman (minus the hyper-accelerated everything) and his durability pretty much matches this- Flash is probably the biggest example of a glass cannon in the entirety of fiction- capable of dealing out massive amounts of punishment, but being unable to take it in return. Just a few good hits from Sonic and he's gone, even with his hyper-accelerated healing. In addition, due to the fact that just about everything of him is hyper-accelerated (minus aging), Flash has absolutely pathetic stamina in comparison to Sonic- he tires out much faster, due to his metabolism being accelerated too. Sonic is quite easily capable of outlasting Flash if he can evade being haxxed (and since it's Archie, he can).
