Road Runner vs. The Flash
The Flash must catch and kill the Road Runner, the two are limited to Arizona, New Mexico and the rest of the world. ACME deliveries are not available to either side.

IIRC the Flash is faster, but the Roadrunner has a fuckin' unbeatable character shield.
Like when the Coyote vut a hole in the bride under the Roadrunner, the bridge fell, the cut out bit didn't.
Ah memores.

Anyway, the Flash would lose. Why? Because he's being cast in the Coyote's role. And everyone knows the Coyote can never catch the RoadRunner... Even if Bugs Bunny is standing in for the RoadRunner, as he did in one hilarious episode.

The Road Runner can violate the laws of physics even more flagrantly than Flash. Therefore, he wins.

It would be interesting to know how he manages to lift the asphalt off its bed without causing more buckling.Darth Wong wrote:The Road Runner can violate the laws of physics even more flagrantly than Flash. Therefore, he wins.

Because he never studied the laws of physics, therefore is immune.Iceberg wrote:Forget that, I'd like to know how he walks on thin air!
(Yes I know that was Bugs Bunny, but I feel it applies to all.)

I'm a pro-Flash fanwhore, but I won't contradict the claim. The Flash can "vibrate his molecules" so that he can pass through solid objects, he can run on water or up the sides of buildings, he can run faster than the speed of light, he can time-travel, he can run to the edge of the universe, he can outrun death...but there's no way he can make the road move in his wake, there's no way his lucky karma can cause trains to come out of nowhere, and I'm pretty sure he can't make signs that say "Look Down" pop out of nowhere, either. Not to mention he probably can't drive the train that ineveitably ends up chasing Wiley into the horizon, or make a car's beeping sound.Connor MacLeod wrote:Just wait til the pro-flash fanwhores show up and start contradicting that claim.Darth Wong wrote:The Road Runner can violate the laws of physics even more flagrantly than Flash.

RR takes it.
And you may ask yourself, 'Where does that highway go to?'

Much as it pains me to say it...
Flash probably STILL couldn't catch RR, even being the fastest man alive, cartoon laws say that he will never catch RoadRunner.

Or, as the Coyote once proved, Flash will catch the RoadRunner *AFTER* the Flash has been shrunk down to the size of a worm by following the RoadRunner through a series of drainage pipes.Captain_Cyran wrote:Much as it pains me to say it...
