Flash #751 storytime

Godspeed casually trying to double-cross Paradox. Classic.

And of course, user. The Flash has a lot of really cool villains, so we'll make this into a general Flash thread after this

I know it was confirmed a while back that Thawne would be in this arc, but still pretty hyped to see his hologram here. Williamson writes Thawne really well, so I hope he won't disappoint this time

Paradox is right though

Getting Rogue War vibes here, but with Godspeed getting strapped to the cosmic threadmill instead of Jay.

Is he finally dead again? We'll see in two weeks, because this is the end of the issue. Thanks for reading and don't forget to buy the issue if you liked it

love him or hate him, he spittin facts

Thanks for the storytime.

I don't think anyone can muster love or hate for such a mediocre villain.

The main Flash villains are the Rogues. They are usually normal humans with some pretty powerful tech so they can go toe to toe with the Flash. Pic related is an old lineup. From left to right:
Pied Piper (reformed Rogue, now a good guy)
The Top (barely appears nowadays and mainly does his own thing)
Weather Wizard
Captain Cold (the leader of the Rogues)
Mirror Master (can move through reflective surfaces)
Heat Wave (a pyromaniac)
Captain Boomerang (mostly does Suicide Squad things nowadays)

They are not criminals to rule the world, they just see it as a normal job. They also have a code. No drugs, no killing women and children and no killing superheroes.

Other members include Golden Glider (Cold's sister), Rainbow Raider (barely appears nowadays) and the Trickster (two people have worn that mantle. Both are currently alive)

I think you forgot something.

Paradox is uninspired shit and Godspeed is a shitty attempt to remake Zolomon and have a "Red Hood" of the Flash Family

There's also the Reverse Flashes, most important of which are Eobard Thawne and Hunter Zolomon.

>Eobard Thawne
Thawne was a psychotic Flash fanboy from the future and wanted nothing more than to be the Flash. He traveled back in time to meet his hero, only to discover that he would become the Reverse Flash and that Barry Allen would break Thawne's neck. This drove him crazy and he has hated the Flash ever since. The story has been changed a bit over time, but it always has him traveling back in time and discovering something that drives him mad. Mostly a Barry Allen villain. Has also killed Barry's mother.

>Hunter Zolomon
The Reverse Flash for Wally West. He was a Rogues profiler for the Keystone City police department and became friends with Wally there. His stepfather was killed, because Hunter was sure a criminal wouldn't have a gun (he did have one). Then his wife left him, he moved to Keystone and Gorilla Grodd broke his spine a little later, making him wheelchair bound. He begged Wally to go back in time to fix it, but Wally wouldn't do it. So Hunter went onto the cosmic threadmill himself, but it exploded and Hunter got outside of time. He isn't a speedster, time around him just moves really slow. He tortures Wally, because he is convinced that tragedy makes someone a better hero and Wally obviously hadn't had enough tragedy in his life yet.

Fuck. That's what I get for moving images around in folders while uploading here

>fetish cover

rip Barry

As soon as I saw "Former Best friend" and "Speedster" I knew all too well its a retread of Zolomon , and I'm sick of Barry stealing stuff from Wally.

Well who is it lads?

Me

Its Wally West.

I would straight up burn down Williamson's house.

I feel like they purposefully make him sound suspect especially with his whole flash forward story that just happened. But come on, he's Dr. Flashhattantron now and completely unmoored from the Multiverse. This whole thing would be beneath him, and Paradox even says he'd only just be a god within the Multiverse IF he properly erases Barry.

I honestly think it's either The Turtle or a bystander/citizen that got wrecked off panel during the Flash Year One finale.

He'll get better

Guys they already did his origin, we already know who Paradox is

paradox is the black guy from the year one story who barry saved. he starts experimenting with the multiverse/timelines and when barry changes the future this unmoors paradox from time.

Oh damn I skipped that issue I guess

Bump

That actually surprised me. I truly look forward to the next issue.

>No way am I letting some crazy guy kill anyone

Says the crazy guy who killed dozens of people like a fucking serial killer and regretted none of it?

Listen, don't worry about it

How could this even be explained

Which is almost certainly why Thawne is the only one capable of stopping him

I liked this issue. Paradox isn’t a good villain, but he’s getting a little better.

>It's a Williamson not so subtly tells the audience how much he'd rather be writing Wally

*episode

Williamson is in a weird place where it's obvious he likes Barry he'd rather write Wally but while he likes Hunter he much prefers Thawne and writing Thawne.

I mean he could do it, Thawne and Wally have fought before but yeah.

Something Something Speed Force.

It's a Flash Story what else do you expect.

On another note I like how this artist draws Barry's suit, tries to make the damn New52 lines as minimized as possible (seriously why of all the characters is Barry the only one to have NOT gone back to his classic more sleekly designed costume already?)

the speed force is alive and took the form of barry's mom to speak with him

Hallucination.

Thanks a lot.

Hasnt this happened already?

He's actually in Heaven for once

bump

One thing about these two: they don't really want their Flashes dead - Thawne can't kill Barry in his sleep because if Barry isn't a great hero, then Thawne does not become who he is, so he gets erased (also the reason why he would fight Paradox here);
Hunter would not kill Wally because he thinks of him a a great friend - though that would not stop him from blowing up his wife and kids

I thought that was the entire crux of Flashpoint? That he's outside of the paradox now.
