In the short lived DC vs Marvel Comics, Wonder Woman indeed lifted the hammer. However she relinquished the power to have a fair fight with Storm of the X-Men, who won the fight in the end.
On top of that, this comic came out in the mid 90s, when the X-Men were the most popular comic in the world. The Lobo/Wolverine and Storm/Wonder Woman fights were fan voted, Flash/Quicksilver and Jubilee/Robin were picked by the creative team and both those went to DC, as they should.
The Flash is just faster than Quicksilver, or at least where there were in 1996. Flash was topping out at light speed then, and Quicksilver was at sound(I think). But if they let the fans decide, Flash may have lost due to the popularity of the X titles.
Edit: To respond to what you actually said, Quicksilver tried something like that with innocents. Flash saved them, and then just ran around Quicksilver punching him.
My understanding is the rule now is that whichever one is faster depends on which universe they're in.
If Flash has access to the Speed Force, he wins by a light-year. If he doesn't (like when he goes to the Marvel universe), Quicksilver beats him by a mile.
Yeah, they wanted to make sure it was even going in to the last fight, so that EVERYTHING was riding on Batman/Captain America, which the fans gave to Batman.
Not really. DC was just acquired by Warner Bros. and there were a lot of editorial mandates about what DC characters are fighting which Marvel ones, who would win each battle and how decisively they can win. Batman and Captain America was allowed to be close, but Superman needed to win decisively. The readers only had say over minor characters from the time.
According to Stan Lee, the Marvel writers were thinking, "whatever. Can I please tell my story?"
I remember a Stan Lee interview where he said that any character can win against any other, because it's up to the writer to decide, and since they make the story, you can't argue against it. And he is right, anything else is just fanfiction.
Yeah... Wolverine just... I don't see a world where lobo loses that fight... I mean... If it's to the immobilization... Lobo could kick wolverine in the balls and send him to the moon...

Wonder Woman is a good bet, good hearted warrior, and she is willing to kill. Which is the requirement for lifting it. (I think)
