...And that message is...

"The Angels are coming for you, but listen - your life could depend on this - don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast, faster than you could believe. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck."

Can the following outrun the Weeping Angels?

Barry Allen
Wally West
Jay Garrick
Jesse Quick
Max Mercury
Bart Allen
Iris and Jai Allen(Wally and Linda's kids)
Hunter Zolomon(Zoom)
Eobard Thawne(Reverse-Flash)

Barring any explicitly lightspeed feats from the Angels (of which there are none), I'd say they could.

Checks Wikipedia for "Weeping Angels"....

OK, here we go. Yeah the Angels get stomped hard

^^^^^ Hell they are not even in Mach territory.

The Angels don't really need darkness to operate, they just can't move if someone's actually looking at them. I wonder if the Speed Force embues speedsters with sped-up vision, or something technobabbly that they can see across the spectrum because of faster synapses or something like that.

Quick, somebody call Mark Waid!

Also, does Zolomon actually use the Speed Force? I thought all he had was time manipulation powers that gave the impression of superspeed.

Surtur · 10-24-2009, 10:15 AM

No Zoom doesn't use the speed force.

Their fastest feats are things like moving a hundred feet in the blink of an eye. When a light flickered, they were shown moving forward in jumps of a few meters at best.

They're not remotely quick enough to deal with the speedsters.

having seen them in action, i have to say that they arent fast enough for anyone on that list. and even if they "kill" one of them, who's to say that they cant just run back, or forward, depending on when they send them.

Lasko8734 · 10-24-2009, 10:39 AM

Flash transported an entire island's worth of civilians safely away from said island in less than a second.And there's that Infinite Mass Punch. Flashes curbstomp easily

Doing that might be bad for the space/time continuum because of the whole timey-wimey explanation that debuted in this episode. At least when it comes to Whoverse temporal physics... if someone's hit, that means they were meant to be hit, and going back is now part of their personal timeline. The Doctor explained that it's why he could never use his TARDIS to go back and save Sally Sparrow's best friend or the cop.

Or, if we mix DCU-style physics in there, there might be alternate versions of any speedster running around in the same time, and if Wally West has ever taught us anything, that's a bad thing :)

it just depends on which time/space explanation is in use.

Of course, the other question is, if they existed in the DCU, could the Angels tap into the Speed Force? IIRC, Quicksilver was briefly able to when the Avengers appeared in the DCU during the JLA/Avengers crossover. If that could be the case then it might not matter if you blinked or not, as they could literally move faster than the eye could track them.

Wow, I may have made the Weeping Angels even scarier than they were on Doctor Who! Brrrrr!

The Weeping Angels with speedforce behind them.

That's horrifying.

EDIT: I don't remember Quicksilver accessing the speedforce.

It's been a while, but IIRC he very briefly accessed it toward the end of #2. About the same time that Green Lantern absorbed the energy from Monica Rambeau. Could be wrong.

Ah, they were in the Marvel Universe then and it was more Flash losing his stored speedforce energy, allowing Quicksilver to catch up to him.
