Flash on 350 points

[Hyper-Man]

Hi everyone,

 

Here is my latest (incomplete) attempt at another classic Justice League member as a starting superhero to go along with Superman and Wonder Woman.

 

The biggest reason I haven't worked on Disadvantages yet is that I haven't been able to make up my mind if this should be Wally West or Barry Allen.

 

Comments and suggestions are welcome as always.

Re: Flash on 350 points

 

Physical Limitation: Needs Extra Food is an obvious one: the Flash burns up so much energy even at rest that he has to eat an enormous amount to avoid crippling fatigue. We're talking Michael Phelps levels of consumption multiplied by a factor of about three.

 

The most obvious disad for the Flash, of course, is Hunted: Rogue's Gallery. The Flash's foes are a colorful lot, and join forces frequently (even socializing together). Guys like Captain Cold, The Trickster, Captain Boomerang and Mirror Master are much more formidable than they would appear at first glance. Individually most are less powerful than he is, using gadgetry rather than inborn superpowers, but together they are As Powerful (especially given their tendency to appear two or three at a time).

The food thing began with Wally West and I'm still not sure if I want this version to be Wally or Barry yet.

The Justice League animated version of the Flash also has the food issue. I don't recall if it's specified whether he's Wally or Barry, and secret identity issues never came up. Of course, as a lesser known character than Superman or Batman (which, admittedly, isn't all that hard) it's likely viewers of the animated series wouldn't know the difference anyway.

Justice League specified Flash as Wally a couple of times.

Re: Flash on 350 points

 

My early Teen Titans version of Wally just has the usual stuff like Secret ID, Psych Limitations and "teen stuff" from Teen Champions.

 

For an adult version I would throw in DNPC(s) and Hunteds, and swap around the Psych Lims a bit. (The early TTs mainly focussed on cases involving teens, of course, and I gave them disads to match.)

 

Let's see. My TT version has:

---

100+ Disadvantages

20 DNPC: Troubled Teen Of The Month, Incompetent, 11-)

5 Distinctive Feature: Uses "Hip" language (Easily Concealed)

10 Hunted: Parents (and the Flash) (As Pow, 8-, NCI, Mildly Punish)

20 Psychological Limitation: Code Against Killing (Common, Total)

20 Psychological Limitation: Protects and Helps Teens in Trouble (Common, Total)

10 Social Limitation: Minor (Under 16)(Frequently, Minor)

15 Social Limitation: Secret Identity (Wally West, student)(Frequently, Major)

200 Total Disadvantage Points

---

 

I prefer Barry in the adult Flash role, so my adult version might have:

---

200+ Disadvantages

15 DNPC: Iris West, Normal, Useful Noncombat Position, Unaware of identity 11-

20 Hunted: Flash's Rogues Gallery 14- (Very Frequently), As Powerful, Harshly Punish

20 Psychological Limitation: Code Against Killing (Common, Total)

20 Psychological Limitation: Honorable (Common, Total)

15 Social Limitation: Secret Identity (Barry Allen, police scientist)(Frequently, Major)

10 Unluck: 2d6

300 Total Disadvantage Points

---

 

Of course this is only 100 points of disads. I've become a bit lazy about this, since I've been mainly building 250 pointers lately.

 

The Unluck is mostly me being lazy, but is reasonable enough.

Re: Flash on 350 points

 

Thanks for the suggestions.

 

I am going with the JL:Animated version of the character.

 

He is Wally West but he's the first Flash too.

 

I'll create a new Justice League thread soon with updated versions of what I have so far.

It was Wally West. They identified him with his full name during the Hawkgirl/Thanagarian polot arc.
