Wally West, Homeless Superhero
Aug. 22nd, 2006 05:12 amThe Flash #20 & #21. Because there's really nothing like watching a superhero eat a soggy pretzel off the sidewalk.
Early on as the Flash, Wally won the lottery, and life was good. Got a mansion, nights on the town, whole bit. And then he lost it all. Everything gets repossessed, he moves into a tiny apartment with his mother.
One night, a homeless dude camps out in the hallway. Wally calls the cops. Things don't work out the way he planned.
( Don't worry. I've got everything under control! )
Yeah, remember Wally's whole anger problem?
So he and his mom are out on the street, with just the clothes on their back. And Mary picks a great time to let him know that the JLI has been trying to get in contact with him for a week...
( The Jewish Defense League... in costume? )
This is the point where things go downhill fast. Wally's night just keeps getting worse and worse...
( That poor thing prob'ly belongs in a mental hospital. )
Right. So, about Piper....

I understand that you're gay, dude. But isn't it a bit gratuitous to be wandering around the streets dressed like that? And talking about men in uniform?
And then, of course, aliens invade.
( I will just t#ke him #nd explore him #t my leisure. )
Damn I love comic books.
In the next issue, Wally finally gets a hold of the JLI. After begging for change on the street.
( I have to find my mom... )
And, because Wally is a big man-whore, he gets laid. She tries to kill him later, but meh. Beggars can't be choosers, ba-zing!
