Does Barry have any dead family for Hades to threaten to kill their souls forever? I'm basically only super familiar with Wally.

Because that's the only way I can see Hades winning this. Like straight-up, the counter to him eating Pit and sending him to his extradimensional stomach was "hit him with the chariot that moves really, really fast". But Hades does have:

-Absolute consciousness and presence in every part of the Underworld, even when he's not there.
-The ability to command and morph any souls down there into mindless monsters
-That plot point where he purposefully tried to trick humanity into eradicating themselves by making up a magic wish that didn't actually exist that was so well-crafted, other deities believed it.

And I have vague memories of Barry being very emotionally stupid. That and I don't see Barry winning in one punch - Hades' regen is pretty nuts, and his durability even moreso. I see Hades getting immobilized, easily, but I also see him trying to figure out how to win after "oh crap I can't attack anymore". It's a stomp otherwise, just wanted to throw out the possibility.
