Probable Death Battle Victor
Vs Marty McFly: The Flash - 100% probability of victory. Marty’s time-traveling
capabilities are no match for The Flash’s super-speed and experience in combat.
Vs Robin Hood: The Flash - 100% probability of victory. Robin Hood’s archery skills
would be ineffective against The Flash’s speed.
Vs T-800 Terminator: The Flash - 99% probability of victory. The Flash could
dismantle or disable the T-800 before it could react.
Vs The Master Chief: The Flash - 95% probability of victory. Despite Master Chief’s
advanced armor and combat training, The Flash’s speed and agility would likely give
him the upper hand.
Vs Wonder Woman: Wonder Woman - 50% probability of victory. Both are
incredibly powerful and skilled, making it a potentially even match.
