The Flash and Power Man


Uh oh!  You know it's a real Crisis when Barry Allen is smack dab in the middle of it!  But just how can a beat down on The Constrictor have world altering ramifications?  The answers are only sixty cents away! 

Power Man met the Wally West Flash in STF #4825...

Flash Barry Allen was the major hero for me, his powers and character made for interesting stories with interesting villains. Power Man caught my attention in his team with Iron Fist. These two together would have been great, but I share the same question of how Power Man's battle could be so devastating and wonder how Flash could stop it! I would have my money out for this comic right away!!

I, too, would be forking over sixty cents to answer the question posed by this cover. After all, the Constrictor is merely a renegade ex-SHIELD agent. Right? All his carbonadium-steel coils can do is entangle and electrocute. Right? It's not like he was a life-force sucking mutant like Russia's Omega Red or anything. Right? The only thing I can figure is might have something to do with the two Black Racers. The super-speedster from Madam Viper's Serpent Society...and her Fourth World namesake.*

*Who I believe manifests in the mainstream Marvel multiverse as Deathurge.

I have a more urgent question: is there any chance we'll someday see Kraven the Hunter vs. Barbara Ann Cheetah?

And only the third personal appearance of the Time Trapper so far... though I continue to suspect that he's played an unseen role in many an issue's tale. Like, should Grogu apply to be part of the LSH, it's likely that TT's had a hand in his being there.

And somewhere in the conflict between him and Kang, we really should see the Eighth Doctor and Jonathan Archer trying to handle the collateral damage.

Does anybody else here remember the other 'Flashpoint'? It was a 3-part limited series in which Barry had his origin as Flash in the same year that DC published that origin, and although crippled saving JFK in Dallas still managed to thwart one of Vandal Savage's schemes (because that Earth didn't have any other superheroes to do so)...

Doesn't Marvel refer to "life-force sucking mutants" as proto-paths?

I remember an issue of Action Comics where Superman was the only superhero on a certain parallel Earth at the time of his marriage to a Homo magus woman named Krysalla. And with their supposedly only son actually having an identical twin who'd been born in the Phantom Zone!

Makes me wonder if Cassandra Nova's brain-parent, at Marvel, read that same imaginary story as a kid.

Anon, Kraven and the Cheetah have met on the Blog, though I forget if it was the Barbara Minerva one.

Simreeve - That original Flashpoint with the Norm Breyfogle art was one of my favorite Elseworlds entries, if that's what you are referring to.

Bob, you are spot on in regard to the Trapper's background machinations.

See STF #4797 from just over four months ago.

Makes me wonder if TT was using Degaton and Chronos as figureheads.

Or, better yet, Jonathan Archer hosting the mind of Dr. Sam Beckett!

How about Black Manta taking on Tiger Shark??
