The Flash 4x15 Poll!

I think his body could survive the physical blast but radiation would kill him.

BarryAllen1310

No, I think Ralph can survive a lot of shit but a nuclear blast should fuck him up

M. Casarico

But then he survived the acid without being reacted remember?

M. Casarico

Think that he’ll contain the blast, but not survive it

Darth Skhorrn

Even he couldn't survive any part of a nuclear explosion. Not the blast wave, the heat, or the radiation.

Paul Gregory

Yes.

Fajen Thygia

It's radiation. Ralph's protection is his DNA. Radiation shreds that.

Tucker Lobner

The nuclear blast most definitely would have obliterated Ralph

Red Claw

At some point even the toughest Balloon pops, if gets too much air. Ralph would stretch and at a certain point he'll tear apart and die.

Nuclear Explosion > Acid

Neil Prospect

Aaron is so wrong wrong wrongity from wrongville. I've never heard someone be so wrong. You've opened up the wrong force and are now stuck in wrong time, that's how wrong you are. A nuclear explosion is so beyond anything Ralph has remotely handled. He may survive explosions, but they still exert force on his body and then he shifts back into shape. The magnitude of this explosion would vaporize him. And that's not even getting into issues of radiation.

Adar

no... he'd be atomized...

MailDude

Why is this even a question?

No... Wtf

Souli Kam

Maybe he could survive the blast but the radiation would kill him.

Skeletor

I want to say yes but i recall him having trouble with a little acid on the knee . Can you imagine what nuclear fall out or blast could do to him.

If the fucking Speed Force couldn't take a nuke, I doubt Ralph could

I think he could survive it, BUT he could not contain it, so others would still die... It would also hurt him seriously.

The Flash Writers did a Goof! I was rewatching the series and heard something rather interesting. Back in Season 1 Episode 7 during BlackOuts attack on Star Labs, Harribard named names of those he hurt that night. Albiet he said hurt but it could be implied he means he having a role in their deaths like Ronnie(even tho he turns out to be alive only to um...yeah.) He name drops Al Rothstein, also known as Atom Smasher and our elongated man, Ralph Dibney. Atom smasher we see come back in the season 2 premier as a corpse after his earth 2 doppelganger kills him. And of course we know where Ralph Dibney is XD. I did a little research and the other name drops were heroes too :0 Bea Decosta AKA Fire Will Everett AKA Amazing Man Grant Emerson AKA Damage <a href="http://ew.com/tv/2017/10/31/flash-ralph-dibny-reference-season-1/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://ew.com/tv/2017/10/31/flash-ralph-dibny-reference-season-1/</a> Link to the article where they discuss it ^^ I thought it was kinda funny. Idk if you guys already heard about this and all since it was discussed back in october 2017 but um yep. Also! Hope you get my package soon and in time for the next Mailbag :0 Apologies for the Dr appt fanart!

Ryan Witalison

Ralph would be vaporised in the explosion

ItsKikiKeeks

Rubber melts

Doby Greg

There is way to much heat for Ralph to survive. For a brief moment it is as hot/hotter than the sun. It's less than a second but Ralph would be burned rubber.

Cameron Mason

He wouldn’t survive, the explosion from a nuclear bomb would vaporise him in an instant.

Christophe Kanaa

He can't , he would die instantly, the radiation are far worse than acid. Also guys you missed when Barry asked to Jay what will happen with the speedforce since it doesn't have anyone anymore and Jay said only time will tell....

Ian Vega

Aaron, a nuclear bomb is a very different explosion than a normal bomb. The radiation is much more powerful than acid, and would more than likely incinerate him instantly, especially if he were to wrap himself around it.

Nathan Mortenson

For once, Eric is right. No way could he survive.

If acid was able to melt through him I'm sure nuclear radiation would eat right through him as well

k9commander

This isn't about Ralph but it needs to be said. I think the Speed Force saw this coming. We know its sentient. We know its connected to all points of time and space. I believe it did the whole lightning thing at the end of season 3 just so Iris would remember it for this episode.

aaron, the radiation would like go through his skin &amp; destroy his internal organs or something

If he could stretch fast enough in flashtime, I think he could possibly take the blast, but the radiation would ultimately kill him

James Fiarito

Are you kidding Aaron? Atom Bombs incinerate people and leave them as silhouette scorch marks on sides of buildings. If Ralph sat on one, no matter how far he could stretch, he would be incinerated

Blackest Hippy

Aaron is wrong as usual lol

Yagami Light

Yes, that is why he wasn't in this episode duhh

Mary Poppins Y'all

Nope...he dead.

Gotta go with Eric on this one! The exothermic heat and radiation would incinerate him, and I think the concussive force alone would disintegrate him as well. A nuclear fallout is too great of a force for his powers to handle. Sorry, Aaron! Still love you though!

I Am Groot

Ralph got "heartburn" from a bomb that can destroy a city block. So a nuke? The blast alone, not to mention all of the radiation would probably kill him

SPARTAN 465

Umm probably not

Ryan O'Malley

Probably not. If acid can burn him i think radiation probably could as well

Dark Aeolus

He’d be DEAD! The shockwave alone would probably stretch him past his limit and tear him in half, but you also have to consider the heat and radiation.

DEATH!

Sam K

Nope.

He would've died from radiation most likely

Roberto Cerrillo

He stretchy

The blast yes, but the radiation probably would have killed him

Andrew Courtney

Based on his issue with acids the exothermic reaction of a nuclear blast would have done the same thing to him only far far worse. Pretty sure his cells would have disintegrated to.

UltraSargent

Sorry Aaron, gotta go with Eric on this one. I know his cells are super duper special now but I feel like he'd just be incinerated by the force of the blast.
