@Mr Zoat were they able to identify the body of the White Flash at all or is it too messed up for that?

Maybe OL scans his DNA to figure out who he is and who he is possibly connected to?

If this 'Black Flash' is as fast as you then he could be anywhere within three thousand kilometres and moving faster than anything we could send after him.

KF runs at about the speed of sound right? Missiles can go quite a bit faster than that. May want to change it to something like "And while we have missiles that could catch up with him, we would not be able to reliably hit an evading human target moving at the speed of sound." Alternatively, change it to anyone they could send after him.

"Sergeant. Members of the Justice Youth. Given the speed with which the attack took place, you are to be commended on the speed of your reactions." He focuses on Wallace. "Kid Flash, you will be given all computer records we possess on the treatment regime given to Blue Trinity."

So, is that like the official name now or did they just made up a name to have soemthing to write in their files?
 
You know I bet if he took one of Molotova's blood samples to Constantine the guy could cast a locator spell that could cut right through whatever bargain bin Scry Wards they may be using.

Shouldn't OL's rings be able to reconstruct how White Flash looked like from their DNA?

Or fully reconstruct the dead body.

Is posible the superspeed Black& White Flash used was time manipulation.

Or someone up there ordered those two to interfere so the Americans didn't get dirty secret outs. And Black and White are black ops.

Cold war logic I know, but honestly how hard it would be to get a blood sample of a speedster instead?

Instead they go for a failed super soeed formula, something doesn't click here.

Remember the first Flash? No mask, just a helmet, everyone knows who he is. Getting a blood sample would be easy.
 
So speedsters without the garrick formula or velocity 9.

There's the Johnny Quick mantra, although that might be dependent on a metagene to use, since DC like to go back and forth as to whether anyone and can use it or not.

I assume that Zoat is going with "not everyone can use it" or else everyone the team would be speedsters in addition to everything else.

I suppose they could be using supersuits, there are several that provide superspeed in DC as I've mentioned before.

Magic can provide superspeed- Max Mercury apparently gained his superspeed from a shamanic ritual, for example, the Olympian has superspeed thanks to the Golden Fleece.

They could be time manipulators ala Zoom.

Speed Demon gained his superspeed from steroids, but I imagine that someone would have noticed if they were crazy deformed roidheads being constantly pumped with supersteroids to maintain their powers.

The metagene can give superspeed, as Trajectory proves, even if her metagene was artificial.

Could be ultraterrestrial, Johnny Quick had a one shot adventure with a lady who gained superspeed because apparently every person from her universe has superspeed on Earth, or alien, when Wally West met the Allen twins in the future people of the 30th century that Wally was an alien of a specific race, so the natural assumption is that there are aliens with superspeed in the 30th century.

No, in theory anyone can use it. The problem is, you have to understand it and be able to visualise what it describes in order for it to work.

"Professor Eddington, you must be one of three persons in the world who understands general relativity." Eddington paused, unable to answer. Silberstein continued "Don't be modest, Eddington!" Finally, Eddington replied "On the contrary, I'm trying to think who the third person is."

The ideas inherant in that apparently nonsensical jumble of letters and numbers are so alien to Human thought that in practice most people can't get it well enough to use it.
 
I'm honestly a little interested if Armenia and Azerbaijan's tension is the same as in our timeline. If so Armenia might very well view such an intervention positively Turkey would be pissed(They've sided with Azerbaijan in previous conflicts).

In the worst potential case, like Russia no longer supplying arms to Azerbaijan it could kickoff a war. Azerbaijan has been able to use its oil wealth to by better arms but its military effectiveness and officer corp is really corrupt(somewhat related to the aftermentioned oil). I'm sure Armenia would love to resolve the issue of Nagorno Karabakh in its favor, and might even seize enough land for a direct corridor to it.

I seem to recall, the explanation is, he vibrated his face, so it couldn't be seen. At least when standing still. And, when he was running, he was moving too fast for cameras of the time to capture a good image.

Something to keep in mind- Supervillain supergeniuses outnumber the supergeniuses on the sides of the angels, for two obvious reasons.

1) Supervillains outnumber superheroes, because heroes get their own stable of villains to fight to keep things interesting so people will buy comics/watch the shows/etc.

2) A primitive part of some people's brains goes "Superstrength? Cool" but thinks "He's smart! He knows things I don't! BURN THE WITCH!" so superintelligence is generally a supervillain power.

Take the Light for example, most of them are arguably in the genius category- Brain, Luther, Ra's, and Savage.

And if you're trying to write a DC superhero story realistically, when the opponents include geniuses and supergeniuses, well then they should fight smart, and if you've got a villain who's a genius or supergenius, then they should cheat like a @#$#$#$#$.

Regardless, the Director is probably simplifying the geopolitical situation somewhat. The General in question is mildly protected as is, as the Russians can't actually prove that he's done anything wrong. While getting him out of Azerbaijan would probably be easy, they don't want to tip their hand too heavily when it could turn out it wasn't Kerimov--political capital is spoken of as if it were money for a reason.

That being said, the Director probably pointed the "Justice Youth" at Kerimov for a reason: they were going to investigate anyway, so may as well point them at the Prime Suspect and be able to legitimately claim that that was the limit of what you did--any resulting blame from them going off and doing their own thing is now on the Team, rather then the Director.

Thanks
