The Official DC Stupid Question Thread....

So was it Hunter Zoloman or Eobard Thawne that changed his appearance to match Barry's?

Eobard Thawne looks identical to Barry. In fact, each of the Flashes has a villain who looks similar to him. Jay Garrick has the the Rival (whose hat Jay now wears, since his own was lost in the Speed Force), Barry had the Thawne Zoom (a product of the even older Flash villain legacy of Cobalt Blue), and Wally's got the Zolomon Zoom.

The silver and red Flash who replaced Wally is an alternate version of himself called Walter West. He's a lot darker and more bitter because his Linda died at the hands of Kobra. Here's a profile: http://www.hyperborea.org/flash/walter.html

I thought he was talking about the guy in Race Agaisnt time, where he goes past speed of light.

OK. I have a stupid question about Flash. In Zero Hour Wally "dies". How was he brought back?

 

[hippie_hunter]

Can someone tell me about the generations of heroes of the DC universe. Isn't there like 3 generations

Kinda of. The Robins, Flash's, Green Lanterns, and so on. More of legacys then anything else.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

There are different generations of certain heroes. It's not universal. And some of the older heroes have inspired more of the younger ones than just their legacy-bearers. Alan Scott, for example, was one of Bruce Wayne's childhood heroes.

The Ray 1 & 2 come to mind as well. There's two Hawkgirls. Doctor Midnight 1 & 2.

 

[The Leaguer]

Atom/Atom Smasher, Starman, Doctor Fate, Black Canary, Green Arrow

 

[Bat-Mantis]

Crimson Avenger
Dr. Mid-Nite
Mr. Terrific
Captain Marvel
Hourman
Jakeem Thunder
Wildcat
Firestorm
Hawkman
The Specter

Some go back only a few decades (Wildcat, Terrific, Hourman, Firestorm, the Thunder’s, Crimson Avenger’s) others (like the Green Lantern's, Flashes, Hawks, the ones who wield the power of the Wizard Shazam) go back centuries.

There are more heroes that I didn’t name and there are tons and tons of villains.

 

[The Leaguer]

Who else is in the Wildcat legacy? The only one I know of is the one in the JSA right now.

 

[Bat-Mantis]

There was a woman, Yolanda Montez, who took up the mantle when the current (and original) Wildcat was nearly killed.
She was killed though. Her brother, Alex Montez, joined the JSA in a "mascot" type role, like Snapper Carr from the ooold JLA. He later became that freaky little guy with the black diamond that shot beams of energy... I can't think of his name. I hate it when that happens.

 

[The Leaguer]

Eclipso?

 

[Bat-Mantis]

Yup. That's it.

 

[The Leaguer]

Didn't he die in the recent Black Reign storyline that crossed over into Hawkman?

 

[Bat-Mantis]

Si. Sure did.
That family just can't get a break.

 

[The Leaguer]

Yeah, thats the only reason I knew who you were talking about, was that story.

 

[Darthphere]

How do Batman's batarangs fly? They dont exactly have the right shape.

 

[X]

They're aero-dynamic?

Probably but the shape of the batarangs would change the direction it should go or should I just drop it.

 

[The Leaguer]

Do they actually act like boomarangs? I've never seen him throw one and have it come back to him.

 

[Darthphere]

Im not saying that.

 

[The Leaguer]

I didn't mean that as a response to what you were saying, I was just asking. I've never seen it operate like a true boomerang.

Well, has there ever really even been a detailed look at one, ala the old Marvel Handbooks? Maybe they have little slits for air to pass through. And I'm sure Bruce is damn good with them anyhow...
