#The Flash

[eventide-paradox]

A bit deeper of a cut, do you all remember that one Flash comic where the Reverse Flash was setting up crimes in the future in order to stop them and be hailed as the Flash's successor?

usamericans, do you remember in the incredibles when syndrome made the robot go haywire just so he could swoop in and 'save the day'

I'm watching the CW show The Flash on Netflix and it's so funny to be watching a show for a property you know nothing about, because every once in awhile there'll be this super slow motion zoom in on someone with, like, a distinct haircut or something, or there'll be this beat of a pause after someone is introduced by name, and I just KNOW this is some major character reveal and/or easter egg, but I have ABSOLUTELY no idea what it is. But I still get hype because I can tell I'm supposed to be hype? Like some dude in a police station with really weird glasses just told Barry he had a quality time piece, and I just know that MEANS something, but idk what. So I'm just going "oooooo something fancy just happened!" Like someone just blew a nerd whistle but it's not in a register I can hear in

Tumblr blogs discovering why a lot of Heros are shown eating a lot of food

We need to talk about the drawbacks to super healing more. Healing takes a LOT of calories. If it happens all at once, you're 1) gonna drain your energy, and 2) probably gonna lose a little weight. Also, healing too fast is why humans get scar tissue (partially). And not to mention blood clots can end up happening as well.

So basically, as nice as it would be to walk off a stab wound in like a day, there's gonna be a LOT of consequences

I’m still thinking about Hartley Rathaway and how he dedicated years of his life and career to building that particle accelerator. I’m thinking about how the only “good” relationship he had with anyone as an adult was with EoWells, because his parents had disowned him and he was kind of dick but EoWells encouraged that and isolated him from the rest of his coworkers (calling him “his guy”, spending too much time together, playing chess, etc. - not to mention the fact that Hartley clearly knew where he lived and whatnot when Cisco, Caitlin and Barry had never even gone in there). Thinking about how EoWells groomed him to the point where Hartley had placed his trust in him solely, and so when that trust was broken, nobody believed Hartley. Because the only person Hartley had was EoWells. Thinking about how when Hartley tried to the right thing anyway - it didn’t work. The accelerator “malfunctioned” and his life, his DNA, and his body were all changed because of it. And so were hundreds of other people’s. Not to mention the fact that other people died because of it. No good deed goes unpunished. Thinking about how he was right about EoWells all along, and he never found out everything. Thinking about how he must’ve felt hearing the man he once he cared for so deeply, the man who hurt him, the man who had already betrayed him, had confessed to a murder that happened years before he ever knew him. Thinking about what kind of life he must’ve had in the S1 timeline. He’s such a fascinating character, I really wish we got more of him in the earlier seasons.

Halfa Barry Allen

So, I know we all know and love Halfa Jason Todd, and that’s good and all- but we’re forgetting the one hero who also got his powers from a lab accident involving electricity- Barry Allen.

Here, quickly compare their origin stories. First, Barry's, from Showcase #4:

Now, Danny's, from the show's opening.

You see the similarities? The electrocution, the mysterious lack of injuries, the laboratory setting?

As if that wasn't enough, the narration also describes the nature of their new powers the same way- as "molecules being rearranged". (Relevant lines circled in red.)

I will also give you this one panel from Flash #270(1959), where Barry phases through pavement:

And a shot of Danny phasing through a wall:

Barry can phase through objects and uses that ability almost as naturally and fluidly as Danny does- and in ways that simple "vibration" doesn't really explain. Going through a wall, sure. Ducking under a road and coming back up a few feet forward without falling through the planet- well, that's something a ghost could do, easy, but not someone who's just temporarily pretending a certain material doesn't exist.

Yes, Danny did die in a ghost portal in a haunted town- but the lightning storm over Central City that day was in no way natural, and the lightning bolt itself was literally the ghost of his future self. (Long story, and mostly irrelevant.)

Also, this panel(from a different book: Secret Origins Annual #2) literally has Barry think "I'm only human! I won't survive!":

Yeah. You can't unsee it now, can you?
