How The Flash Would Defeat Each Member Of The Justice League

5. Shazam

Flash Superman Death
DC Comics

With Shazam, there are the Gods-derived powers of Wonder Woman and the magical connection of Zatanna but without the experience in the use of those powers and adding the impulsive behaviours of a literal teenager. So while there are some distinct challenges in dealing with the Fawcett City Champion, there are also opportunities.

Speed is going to be the key in any fight with Shazam. Thanks to the speed that is granted to him by Mercury, Shazam can move near the Speed of Light. But Flash can move at the Speed of Light and beyond. Flash can also think and react at a faster rate than Billy, and that, coupled with his speed-assisted strength, should be enough to knock Shazam away or even unconscious, briefly.

The Sultan of Speed also has the ability to manipulate the Speed Force at such a high level that it gives him electrokinetic abilities that include the ability to disrupt Magic, amongst other fields. It’s possible that Barry could disconnect Shazam’s connection to the Rock of Eternity and forcibly transform him back into Billy. As he is just a normal teenager without the powers of Shazam, there is not much young Batson could do to stop the Scarlet Speedster in the picosecond before he was knocked out.
