Tom King...

SPOILER FOR HEROES IN CRISIS #8

If you haven't read it, go here.




Tom King... why. Why'd you do this? Who made you like this? Why did you have to do this Wally West of all people??

I also did not like this at all. Wally committed accidental murder of fellow superheroes, covered up his tracks, and killed himself.

Tom King just does not know how to write characters. He legit made Wally look like a tactical sociopath.

I actually find this fascinating. We've seen through rebirth that Wally is on a slow decline with his mental stability. I can understand the problems Wally fans have with this turn of events but in all honestly, it feels earned (wally's mental instability). I'm in the minority here but I feel like this sets Wally up to become a villain, and a good one at that. Gives me a very Emerald Twilight vibe.

This must be how Hal Jordan fans felt back when Emerald Twilight happened.

@POTM

Probably.

@Heatforce

He will be dead. He killed himself. Storywise it would be a weird transition to resurrect him and make him into a villain. Also, no superhero would be able to deal with him.

 

[Heatforce]

Exactly. He is already the fastest speedster. It would have a very Obi Wan/ Anakin vibe or a more recent example would be Sentry and Scout except Wally is the legit power house here so he's a huge threat to everyone. Speedster's always find a way around their shenanigans so who knows if Wally will die.
