Hello my dudes and dudettes if you’re there!
So I was watching The Flash earlier on today and besides Green Lantern I think that The Flash is my favourite DC superhero. It made me think of Flash McQueen from Cars saying “Speed, I am Speed” and basically transformed that into “Speed, I like Speed”. And that’s also the thing I say when I’m on my moped. So then it came to my mind that there couldn’t only be only fast dude in the DC comics. But of course I already knew that, I just thought well, there are some people that don’t know them or just one or two, and so, here we are! For today’s post I’m gonna talk about DC’s 10 greatest fast dudes. 1. Jay Garrick/ The Flash : Jay Garrick is actually the original Flash and he’s basically an old veteran who spent decades serving as a member of the Justice Society and mentoring younger heroes. And it was basically him that inspired Barryboy to become Flash and it was Barryboy and Jay who first crossed the bridge between Earth-1 and Earth-2. 2. Barry Allen : Barryboy is the first hero to tap into the speed-force and though he didn’t master it as well as Wally West he was able to reach it in his life. He’s surpassed Superman’s heroism by sacrificing himself to save all reality in Crisis on Infinite Earths and that is only one of his biggest exploits. Barry is simply the best one for me, ma Barryboy he is I say! 3. Wally West : Barry Allen is the first one to really tap into the speed force but Wally West is the first one to really master it fully. Wally has used the speed force in ways that Barryboy could not even begin to imagine. He took some time from growing out of the Kid Flash sidekick years, but he did eventually live up to Barry’s legacy and he is considered one of the greatest heroes in the universe alongside Barry. 4. Professor Zoom : Eobard Thawn is the first Reverse Flash who is a man coming from the future just to meet his hero, Barryboy. But he was driven insane knowing that was destined to become a villain and he attacked Central City, disguised as Barryboy but he was eventually stopped by Wally. He also tried going back in time to prevent Barryboy from acquiring his powers but that also failed. Then went back in time again and framed Barry’s father for the murder of Barry’s mother, that action lead to Flashpoint and saw Barry and Eobard fighting throughout the timestream. 5. Zoom : His name makes me think of that passage in Pitch Perfect 1 at the audition where the black woman says sings “Zoom Zoom Zoom Zoom”, and no that’s not a racist joke it’s just that passage which is like that. Anyway Zoom is the second Reverse Flash originally called Hunter Zolomon who was paralyzed during a battle with Gorilla Grodd. So he asked Wally West to go back in time to prevent the accident but he refused. So Zolomon tried it himself but resulted in an accident that gave him time altering powers that mimicked supa-speed. But he lost his powers when they were stolen by his would be sidekick Inertia, a clone of Bart Allen, who used Zolomon’s powers to menace Bart Allen when he was Flash. 6.Bart Allen/ Kid Flash/ Impulse : Bart Allen is the grandson of da great Barry Allen, of course. Bart has travelled back in time to become a hero, eventually trading in his mantle of Impulse to become the second Kid Flash, and later he briefly served as Flash when he aged into adulthood. There are probably some other stuff to know but that’s the essential, and his history isn’t that great like Barry’s so we don’t care. 7. Johnny Quick : So Johnnyboy is Flash’s villainous opposite that’s part of the Crime Syndicate of Earth-3. On that world there are no hero nor villain rules and each primary member of the Justice League has an opposite evil dude. And they are part of The Crime Syndicate. And the one of Flash, is, Johnny Quick. But of course, he was also killed by Barry Allen, cause he’s just the best. 8.Jesse Quick : Jesse Quick is the daughter of Johnny Quick, Quick makes me think of that fast-food restaurant… They are both fast so, I mean, coincidence right? Anyway she has super-speed but she has also inherited of her mother’s powers, so she’s got da supa-strength. 9.Max Mercury : He’s a retired time-travelling speedster that had a his career back in the 1830’s and trained Wally West after the death of Barry Allen while he was retired. He’s kinda old now. 10. Savitar : He was originally a supersonic jet pilot, Gotta Go Fast!! But one day his jet got struck by lightning giving him da supa speed! And the ability the sap the speed of others, except the speed of Wally West ( he’s a Flash), who was immune to this effect. But he was eventually gently killed by the one and only “Barry Allen”. Well that’s it my dudes, those are the best speedsters in DC Comics, let me know who is your favourite in the comments below and I hope you liked this post! See ya later my dudes!! Fun Fact: Did you know that the actor John Wesley Shipp that plays the father of Barry Allen in The Flash TV Show played the original Flash Jay Garrick in the 1990 The Flash show?

Hielo my dudes !
I think we have all seen the new Justice League trailer, and we now know who the JL villain is. STEPPENWOLF!! If you’re no big comic reader you’ll go “ Who’s dat dude? ” You’re questions are now going to be answered by the dude who is typing this post, so basically me. Now let’s start at the start. Steppe in German means “prairie” and wolf means, wolf, the nice hairy dog with big teeth and that can be likely aggressive. So he’s called The Small Wolf from the Prairie, like the house. Just joking, he’s just called The Prairie Wolf, in English. He was created by Jack Kirby and made his first appearance in “ New Gods #7 ”. He is a member of Darkseid’s elite douchebag pack. That’s not just, just the part that he is a member of Darkseid’s elite thingy. Now what can this cool dude do? Well, let’s start with saying that he is immortal, has got superhuman strength, enhanced speed, durability, reflexes, senses, he is resistant to most forms of physical energy and energy attacks. He is also immune to toxins and other planets diseases. Steppenwolf also has thousands of years of experience in most forms of combat, tracking, strategy and weapons, especially in swords and axes, as we can see in the trailer he is wielding that big axe, called the “ Electro Axe “. He’s skilled in riding/training animals and is an expert driver as he has virtually driven all vehicles of Apokolips, and for the last he is one of the most feared and respected generals of Darkseid. My god that’s a long list, kind of impressive, but there you go, that’s it, but I’m sure in the movie they’ll put in some other cool stuff for him. But we’ll have to wait for that when the JL movie comes out but there will certainly be a post and a review. Now that we know all that, what else do we need to know to prepare for the upcoming movie, emm, that’s all I guess, so if you want to know anything more about him just leave a comment and I’ll get back to you. That’s it for now my dudes, stay tuned for the next post on Monday! Seeeee youuuu lataaaar!! |
