One of the more exciting side effects of self-isolation now that the coronavirus pandemic is sweeping through the world is that people have more time on their hands. As such, they’ve decided to alleviate their quarantine boredom by deciding which character, out of Doctor Strange and the Flash, can score one over the other.
Well, since we’re all here, we may as well settle this once and for all. Although, the fact that these two heroes are vastly different when it comes to their abilities doesn’t really help us narrow it down to a basic standoff of numbers. On one hand, we have the Sorcerer Supreme who is a master of the Mystic Arts and can literally bend reality to his will, and on the other, we have a metahuman Speedster who can run at Mach 2 and even travel back in time via the Speedforce.
Additionally, Doctor Strange has the Eye of Agamotto, which contains the Time Stone, and his Cloak of Levitation can protect him against hostile forces in a variety of ways. Barry Allen, meanwhile, can manipulate his speed and form lightning or a super-sonic punch.
Here’s what some folks on the internet had to say about the matter:
There’s a lot of people who have access to the speed force there’s only one sorcerer supreme. Also if you’re sorcerer supreme you don’t have to constantly fix your mistake of traveling back into the past to save your dead mother. https://t.co/TsSnglVrU9

Sorcerer Supreme couldn’t even handle Thanos with, even, the help of fellow Superheroes.
Single-handedly, The Flash would’ve nabbed that Gauntlet before Thanos could even THINK of the “I” pronoun in “I am inevitable.” pic.twitter.com/PlanefZKeQ

Speedforce
I can do whatever I want with the speed force. Being the Sorcerer Supreme is an actual job title with specific responsibilities https://t.co/rMUg07Bs3u

Sorcerer Supreme, PEERY-YET.
Speed Force is excellent & you can do a whole lot, but sometimes, running ain't gon do the trick–you need a li'l bit of Summoning, Teleportation, Transmutation, Telekinesis, ESP, Illusion Casting & Astral Projection in your life. pic.twitter.com/UjCZBLggKR

Ooo, gee. That's a tough ques….
SPEED FORCE.— mXm (@43324FAN) March 21, 2020
Some of these fans bring up interesting points. In the last two movies of the Infinity Saga, the Avengers tried to do everything in their power to get the gauntlet away from Thanos. Even Infinity War featured a scene where Strange went toe-to-toe with the Mad Titan alone but failed to match his power, whereas Barry could’ve simply snatched the gauntlet with such speed as to make the whole encounter the easy work of two seconds. To counter that argument, one person suggested that manipulating time, as Doctor Strange does, could theoretically allow him to move at a faster speed than everybody else, even Barry, who’s the fastest man alive.
Of course, seeing as how both Doctor Strange 2 and The Flash have halted production amid the COVID-19 outbreak, it’ll be a while before we see them on our screens again, so this online crossover is the only thing that can keep their fans busy for the time being.
What’s your opinion, though? Which of these heroes do you think could win in a fight? Sound off in the comments below.
