But as babies, they were kidnapped by a guy they call the High Evolutionary.

Basically, Quicksilver and his twin sister the Scarlet Witch were born Pietro and Wanda to a pair of gypsies named Django and Marya Maximoff.
QUICKSILVER VS FLASH MOVIE
I guess that's what happens when competing movie studios both inadvertently own the rights to the same character.īoomstick: Yeah, don't worry, I got it.

I mean, his origin story is absolutely insanely convoluted. Yeah, that's true, and I guess your fake quote kind of applies, because Quicksilver's life has been anything but stable. Wiz: No, you just said "hold my beer", and drove it straight into the water.īoomstick: Wiz, come on, stay on topic. Wiz: Also, it is possible for others to disrupt Flash's connection to the Speed Force, making him lose his abilities.īoomstick: But with fast healing, time travel, extra dimensional power, he's done a lot for a guy who can run really fast.īarry Allen uses his ring to change into the Flash.īoomstick: An amazing man once said, "To achieve great things, one must sacrifice stability and push one's limit past sanity." And few people embody those words better than Quicksilver.īoomstick: I did, last week, when I got my sweet new dune buggy and jumped that lake! Ripples of distortion radiated out through that point of impact, shifting everything just a tiny bit, but enough. You broke the time barrier, Flash, time boom. Reverse-Flash: Break the sound barrier and there's a sonic boom. While well-intentioned, his hotheaded time-hopping adventures usually end up making things worse.īoomstick: Like when he tried to save his mom's life, and ended up ruining the entire universe instead! Wiz: You'd think time travel would be an awesome skill to have, but not really in Flash's case. Yes, I said "time barrier".īoomstick: Did you ever hear the phrase, " New 52"? Like, where DC rebooted its whole universe and everyone's backstories? Yeah, Flash. Wiz: Right, like the time he got stabbed through the leg, but minutes later, stood up and ran fast enough to outrace a nuclear blast, and break the time barrier. Wiz: To snap a tree like that requires at least 70,000 pounds of force.īoomstick: Ouch, but he was up and running around in no time, thanks to Speed Force healing. He was once blown up by enough grenades to send him flying into a tree, breaking it in half. Wiz: Anyway, his brain is fast enough to perceive events in less then an attosecond he once called the Justice League supercomputer slow, which, by the way, processes at 100,000 trillion calculations per second.īoomstick: The Speed Force also absorbs damage like a shield, because at this point, what can't it do? Make waffles? Probably.

Wiz: Apparently, he does this by vibrating his feet in such a way that the ice crystals within the clouds are collected underneath him to provide footholds, which is an affront to science! Wiz: When push comes to shove, he can easily break the speed of light, over 670 million miles per hour.īoomstick: He once rescued everyone from a collapsing apartment building, then used the public library to learn everything he needed to rebuild the whole place, and then he did it, all before the cops showed up! Oh, and he can run on clouds. Also, while other speedsters like Max Mercury and Wally West use the Speed Force, Barry is actually the one who generates it! And boy, can he do some ridiculous stuff. Plus, it's pretty handy for getting the Flash out of jams when an author writes him into a corner.īoomstick: Sure. Wiz: Think of it as its own dimension, that the Flash can use as a power source, and also enter on his own whim.
