First, two bits of fanart that I ran across, and liked:

Redesigned Supes fanart. You're going to see this guy again; part of the plot unfolding in my head for the future is just that; the future. A dystopian future, because I'm like, obsessed with those. I can't say any more; just that I'm going to have way too much fun redesigning our heroes.

Tim reading a book to Bart

Oh yeah, and... "So like... am I the only member of the JLA you haven't slept with?

So, for those of you who don't follow Flash comics, you still might have heard about this kid named Owen Harkness; most often recognized as Captain Boomerang's son from Identity Crisis. Owen's story didn't end with that, oh no siree bob. He trained himself to throw boomerangs with incredible accuracy, and after his father's death, was adopted by the Rogues as the new Captain Boomerang. The kicker; his mother is Meloni Thawne. (Flash genealogy is kinda like a a tree choking itself to death.) That's right kids; he's Bart's half-brother, and has limited super-speed.

So what do we learn from this?

A speedster who learns to throw projectiles with accuracy is one of the most dangerous mofos you can imagine. Where is this leading? I keep getting this image of Wally throwing batarangs faster than the speed of sound. And I wanted to share how unbearably cool that is to think about, haha. Yeah. Tangent.

I love Flash comics I guess is my ultimate point here.



From The Flash #158; I remembered that Wally has, in fact, worn Zoom's costume as part of a ruse.

And incidentally, I add... also from The Flash #217, the one where Bruce visits Keystone...








He doesn't have them come back to him, he runs and catches them after they hit their target.

Now that guy is cool!! If I had powers, I'd fight him any day! Wait...nevermind what I just said! Those pieces of fanart you shared in this post were beautiful if not very adorable!

Anyway, how have you been as of late?

I wouldn't want to fight Owen. No way, haha. He's a vicious one.

Things are ok on this end. :)

Well, there is more than one way to fight and defeat a guy like that. And I'm sure Batman would find a way through a lot of observation and skill. Wally meanwhile, would figure it out quicker by accident.

*impersonating William Shatner* But. We. All. Know. That. Only. Goku. Could. Kick. His. Ass. That and Supermans. Sorry I'm just hyper.

Glad to hear things are okay.

Bruce has a notoriously difficult time fighting speedsters. Which is why the comics almost never have it happen. One time when Starro was controlling Wally, the only way he could win was to keep Wally/Starro talking while he lowered the room temperature enough to slow him down.

Sometimes he can anticipate their next move and do it that way.

But, as a friend of mine once said... "Give Batman 5 minutes to prepare and he can beat anyone."

Ooh, you keep adding images!! Though I love that one. I guess being a man-slut is genetic. Look at Dick for crying out loud!

Anyone know how to make a mood theme on here? I know this is so off topic, but I just thought I'd ask my friends...

Haha, that last fanart there 'Am I the only one in JLA you haven't slept with...'

Priceless.

I actually researched his sexual history for this story; in both canons. ;)

Owen is a bad mofo indeed. Scary.

I love Owen. A lot. Him and Bart need to get together and do brother stuff already.

My first thought was a duel at 30 paces...

I don't even think Bart has any clue about Owen. Which is a shame.

Give it time. He's got to find out eventually.

And then they can have cracktastic adventures together.

I heard that Owen quits the Rogues and ends up joining the Outsiders.

Really? Now I'm wicked curious, because the Rogues (Specifically Len) were the only family he had after his father died.

Thank god for wikipedia! ()

Apparently, it was after both Len and Owne found out that the Golden Glider wasn't his mum, and that Meloni Thwane is. He reformes after a battle with the Outsiders and becomes one of them in OYL.

I know what your saying about the Flash family tree. Like, Malcome Thwane was her ancestor, and he was Barry's twin brother, and she married Barry's son... its Incest! Barts his own cousin!

I was looking at that entry yesterday and totally missed that, haha. Way to be, Shae.

It's like 1000 years of seperated incest so I guess I can forgive it. I'd like to see someone try and draw it out. All the lines twisting back and forth across generations... heh.
