Why does dc hate wally west

You're yearning for a time before you were politicized. User Info: Turducken. Peter Parker's origin is always dependent on Uncle Ben and the mugger. He's not his own character. Mega brainlet take from Didiot.

Pretty sure DC's fourth or so most profitable character, Harley Quinn, relies wholesale on another major character for her origin. User Info: scooter User Info: GreatGuyGardner. My 3DS Friend Code is User Info: Jonbodhi. Stardrifter posted Didio should never have been in charge. This is the man who spent years trying to kill off Dick Grayson. Nothing is overrated; your opinion is just outnumbered: AnonymousFriend. You need to have an understanding of what Wally has been going through these past few years as well as the disastrous event Heroes In Crisis , which saw West lose his mind and murder many of his friends.

Does this issue undo those events? Yes and no. You can certainly make the argument that West is given an enormous olive branch here, with the weight of these murders no longer on his hands, but the events still happened, even with an asterisk. Retcons in comic books are inevitable, with writers deciding to forge a new path for a character requiring changes to the past or halting a character's progression in order to make them more recognizable or desirable to readers and fans.

You can look at Winter Soldier as the ultimate example of a "good" retcon, wherein Bucky Barnes—once considered to be a monolith amongst characters that could not be returned from the dead—is now in countless movies and just featured in his own television series. When you dig even deeper, you see the original events which killed Captain America's original sidekick still happened, only with an asterisk.

The same can be said for Wally West here, his friends are still dead, killed by a blip within the Speed Force that Wally was part of, but his journey can progress according to Adams' plans, which in this case is restoring him as the Flash. Wally is able to slap on the crimson suit once more and has his family in tow when patrolling the streets, perhaps finally outrunning his uncle's shadow as well. When he and Barry had one last race, the Speed Force zapped him away.

As a result of this, Wally has been traveling through the history of DC's speedsters to try and fix leaks in the Speed Force.

First, he lands in a caveman's body, then Impulse's, and in his latest adventure, he inhabits the body of DC's first Flash, Jay Garrick. Though the issue is thrilling in its own right, the real twist comes at the issue's very end. Having fixed the Speed Force leak, Wally's mind is sent into the body of another speedster.

To his shock, Wally West finds himself inhabiting the body of Eobard Thawn right as he is being inducted into the Legion of Doom. While this situation will undoubtedly lead to hijinks reminiscent of Wally's time swapping bodies with Lex Luthor in Justice League Unlimited, this won't be Wally's first brush with villainy. Heroes in Crisis infamously had him accidentally killing a great number of heroes and then framing innocent people for the crime.
