The Future

The suit was everything Eobard ever needed. He had lived the perfect life, and now delivered onto him was the suit of the Flash. From it he was able to take samples of the energy source that gave the speedster, Barry Allen, his powers. All the scans were so clear, so full of information. The suit was virtually alive with energy as he touched it, its secrets practically begged him to uncover them. Eobard knew that this was going to be his defining moment, he was going to become the Flash of the twenty fifth century, and then he will have fulfilled his life's purpose. In a world without heroes, he would be a beacon. Everyone would know his name, Eobard Thawne. Professor Zoom, Flash of the Twenty First Century and fastest man alive.

The experiment didn’t work. It refused to hold, whenever he tried to infuse his body with the energy it burned alive and nearly killed him, Eobard had to find a way to make it bond with him. It was likely a side effect of not wholly mimicking the effects that had caused Barry to inherit his speed, nobody knew all the details of the night where he gained his speed. It could have been a variety of things from the chemicals in the room that had been splashed on his body or the composition of the lightning bolt that hit him. It could even relate to what Barry had had to eat that day for lunch.

In a feat of genius he decided to reverse the charge of the electrical current that he was striking himself with. Instead of infusing himself with a positive charge that seemed to overload his systems, he tried it with a negative charge. To his surprise, and excitement, it worked. Now he could...

Iris' felt her phone vibrate in her pocket as she finished off Marko. At least for now, he seemed to be hellbent on coming back for Spider-Woman much like she had her own demon to face sooner or later back in Central City. She shook herself off, patting herself down and cleaning what little muck remained off her person. Shuddering slightly, that was utterly disgusting.

"Ugh...." Iris looked around the room, she could already hear sirens approaching which meant that police, and if she knew one thing for sure is that Superheroes, or heroines, didn't seem to be appreciated in this neck of the woods. At least what she could tell from the 'reports' that the clown J.Jonah Jameson screamed at anyone who would listen to him. She sighed as she looked around the room. Water lay everywhere and there were small puddles of wet sand. The majority of the glob was gone, likely into the drain system and could be anywhere by now. Even with her speed she couldn't possibly check the entire sewer system. So there wasn't any point her putting herself through that just for... this.

"I mean, am I the only one who thinks that looked like crap?" Iris turned as Spider-Woman spoke "And I mean that literally. One of my villains literally looked like crap going down the drain. God I have the worst villains."

Chuckling slightly she walked over to her. "I can see where you get that from, but I can say mine aren't much better. I guess it's all part of the job where villains aren't the best people to be around. Hell, I haven't heard a peep from my greatest foe in weeks but I've got a pretty serious threat looming over my head to look forward too." It was all well and good joking about it now, but pain lingered in her words. Her eyes hollow, not that they were easily visible beneath her mask. Iris always played the lightheart around normal people, it filled them with hope the way she interacted with them yet she couldn't help but feel the weight of it all try to rush out the moment she spoke to someone who could very well be in the same situation as her. A female superhero, they seemed to be a rare breed afterall.

"I wish I had divine wisdom to impart on you, but really-" She shrugged "-I'm probably not a lot better at this than you are. Don't get me even started on Superman. He may be the man of steel, but he doesn't know how to talk to a woman." Her phone buzzed again and she sighed, pulling it out of a pocket. She didn't activate it quite yet to see the message instead she just eyed Spider-Woman for a moment. "You know, when you think about it we really should think about some form of group dynamic for us heroes and heroines."

Looking down at her phone she saw it was a message from Barry. Tempted to ignore it at first, her phone buzzed again. The next message put all thoughts of ignoring it out of her head.

["911. Man in Yellow. Come now, your place."]

All colour in her face vanished.

To evolve the discussion of @AndyC... what about your favourite Villain looks? I know they don't change as much over the years, but for me there can only be one.

CLOSED - Ultimate One Universe: Season One

@Master Bruce for all of us wanting to finish arcs, can we get a rough guestimate on when MME2 will take place?

CLOSED - Ultimate One Universe: Season One

@AndyC Favourite Costumes, I've already done Hulk and have little comic book preference outside of these two.

Flash/Kid Flash

I enjoy the Young Justice costume for the reasons Andy described for his Flash pick. It's simple, and the way the mask highlights his face in a way that can easily show his caring aspect as well as his jovial nature. I agree that soemtiems Flash' costume gets too many lines on it which means there's too much going on. In the Negative Flash arc while his lightning was red/black the panels just looked a mess of Red, Black, Yellow and it didn't really work.

For Kid Flash/Flash/Wally West 1



I gotta go with his Rebirth. It's similar enough to that of the Flash, yet it's different. I never liked the KF wearing yellow thing, I mean his costume closer resembles that of RF when it's yellow, and I think that's mainly for the contrast of yellow/red in comic panels to show who is where. That said, I think it works with the blue and the blue lightning to really highlight the difference between the two, despite them both wearing red.

Too start my own discussion, who is your favourtie underrated villain? Someone that never really grows (but has the potential to do so), or someone that just gets isnta-knocked out. Why are they you're favourite?

CLOSED - Ultimate One Universe: Season One

Before I go to bed, as one of the few picks I'm going to make. I have to say. World War Hulk to me, takes the cake.

It's got his brutal element, his gladiator element as well as the crown which is a pretty important item of memrobelia. Especially for as far as the heroes on Earth are concerned, this is a very evolved Hulk.

Least favourite has to be:

Image

The Indestructible Hulk. Just the way the armour looks, and I suppose also the artwork he looks like a Green Goblin reject.

@Master Bruce nu52 Flash. Ballsy.

I'm just headed to bed so will have to skip on this conversation but I'll throw up my limited picks tomorrow, I only got into comics a couple of years ago so I don't have this massive history you all do with the characters. A byproduct of rural living in Scotland as a kid, even as an adult I have to order them online as there isn't a shop near me. Yes I can read them online, Which I tend to do for Flash but I also like physical copies.

CLOSED - Ultimate One Universe: Season One

There were a few Rebirth costumes that I liked-- Superman finally had a version of the no-trunks look that I could get behind before they put the trunks back on him, Supergirl's previous costume was a perfectly good classic-style outfit, Jon's costume is a great fit for a Superboy-in-training, I liked that they just went ahead and made Wonder Woman's movie outfit her official costume since I thought that was a great compromise between the old one-piece bathing suit and all the different sets of over-designed battle armor they keep slapping on her, Starfire and Raven no longer look completely ridiculous.......

....and that's about it.

@AndyC

Flash I can get behind... But then it never changes much. I like Wally's costume. It's a nice balance between that he wore as Kid Flash and as the Flash

I hope you are happy @Lord Wraith I posted to participate.

God.

You're so needy.
