[PARALLAX FLASH!!!!!

*bangs head on the table*

I usually am not someone who starts ranting about comic book writers but geoff jones really makes it hard for me

parallax was a cool villain first with the great concept of a fallen hero (and one of the big heroes)
then he was a great concept with being the fear personified (even if I prefered the original concept)
I also liked when they made Kyle Parallax in the SCW
I was disappointed when hal only became parallax for one issue in BN

but since then Parallax has become a joke, a monstergimmick of the week. I just cannot take him seriously any more

he is overused but at least he is in somebody who doesn't have a ring on his finger at the moment

I actually would prefer he were. In my Eyes the Entities are Part of their resepective Corps, so the Ring rules should count for them, too. After BN I could see Barry as a TEMPORARY Host of the Bluebird since he is connected to the Blue Lanterns

Parallax has a bond to the GLs since he was part of their Power Battery so long.

I think Parallax concept lived a lot with his shock effects. I was thinking OH CRAP when I saw parallax appearing in a comic (Zero Hour, Final Night, The Kyle/Hal Time Travel Story, Hal Jordans last will, SCW). but as I said above, when I see him today it is more of meh... especially since it is obvious
Barryllaxwill not be a more permanent host. when he was in Hal or Kyle you just didnt know when or if they really would go back from that. If Parallax was put in another maybe unknown Character you would maybe wonder what will happen.

You bring up a good point. I hadn't thought of it with the 'bond with corps" theory.

Maybe he will at least last longer than one issue...but i doubt it.

Honestly, I hope for 25 some odd skittle corps members/gl related figures. I know I know, too soon after another gl filled set, but I have bet at stake, and my eyes do not want to watch Twilight =[

I like that....actually it looks cool. Though it was interesting to see that the Indigo Lantern's might be horrible horrible beings without their rings

Not my cup of tea, but as long as he doesn't take up more than one place in the set, I can't see getting too irate about it.

That makes no sense at all considering the "Collector" out there or did that storyline already end

Well if they make him, he better be in a running position as we've learned from Johnny Quick apparently all speedsters must be in a running position. :cheeky:

no the Proselyte and Arda (Compassion and Hope) Entity are there respectcively...
The collector showed up riding Parallax (Yes) and Pointed him toward Barry.

I would seriously love to get my fingers on these figures:

Parallax (Hal/Kyle from SCW)
Parallax (Barry allen)
Adara (Possesing the black chick)
Profelyte (Possesing the parametic)
Blue/green Hal Jordan
Black Hand (As a indigo tribe)
White lantern Batman (Might want him i'm not sure)

Parallax (Entity) (Peanut base)
Adara (Entity)
Butcher (Entity)
Profelyte (Entity)
Ion (Entity)
Predator (Entity)
Ophidian (Entity)

Just because more lanterns is always better with me...

Hey does anyone else remember Crisis on Infinite Earth? When the Anti-Monitor had to be stopped by The Spectre and like every other superhero/villian combined after he destroyed almost all of the multiverse? Then do you remember how he came back in Sinestro Corps War and everyone was like "Oh noes" but then he was killed by one person, Superboy Prime, who wasn't able to take him on solo in crisis? Then do you remember in Blackest Night how he was there for one panel then died?

Parallax was feared once, sure, but Geoff Johns tends to make jokes out of things like that.

To be fair at that point A) This was SBP on steroids a guy who was taking on huge armies of heroes and B) A-M had been weakned
2) In Blackest Night he was defeated because he was a Zombie

Still meh. It's not just Johns, really, everyone does it. Got a new bad guy who you want to make scary? Best way to do it is to have him totally wipe out another bad guy who was scary. It's lazy writing, but it's effective, I guess?

If the Marvel set is going to be X-Men heavy, how about a Legion set?
Or, what if it was Superman family set?
Or, why not a World's Finest?

The Anti-Monitor was killed by the combined efforts of the entire Green Lantern Corps. And the Guardians. Along with various other earth heroes. Along with detonating Warworld.

And then Superboy-Prime.

He wasn't killed by one person. Not even a little.

You obviously have NO clue about what you are talking about, as Grumpy Goat said, he was being fought by Green Lanterns, Guardians, many members of Justice League, JSA, and Teen Titans, and then Superboy Prime.

But to further this notion, if you knew what you were talking about, you'd realize that after consuming hundreds of Universes his strength grew to unimaginable heights in Crisis on Infinite Earths, while in Sinestro Corps War he was in a severely weakened state.

I'd love a Legion set, but I have to question it's viability in the marketplace. The Legion has generally been a bit of a niche team. Which is a flaw of the public, not the Legion. : - )

The best Flash figures we need to annoy Barry Allen fanboys! (My Brother is totally going to kill me for this.

Shrinking Flash (http://www.comicbookdb.com/graphics/comic_graphics/1/42/26060_20060122165946_large.jpg)
Fat Flash (http://www.comicbookdb.com/graphics/comic_graphics/1/42/26330_20060122231906_large.jpg)
Mirror Flash (http://www.comicbookdb.com/graphics/comic_graphics/1/44/28491_20060211000836_large.jpg)
Puppet Flash (http://www.comicbookdb.com/graphics/comic_graphics/1/45/28879_20060212115253_large.jpg)
100 Year Old Flash (http://www.comicbookdb.com/graphics/comic_graphics/1/47/30180_20060223232816_large.jpg)
Flash on crutches (http://www.comicbookdb.com/graphics/comic_graphics/1/49/31226_20060304221905_large.jpg)
Big-brained Flash (http://www.comicbookdb.com/graphics/comic_graphics/1/52/32181_20060312150330_large.jpg)
It's a gas, man, Flash (http://www.comicbookdb.com/graphics/comic_graphics/1/134/67532_20061021155447_large.jpg)
Flash and Kid Flash share a body (http://www.comicbookdb.com/graphics/comic_graphics/1/134/67534_20061021160500_large.jpg)
Elongated Flash (http://www.comicbookdb.com/graphics/comic_graphics/1/156/79210_20070106113717_large.jpg)

Trapped-in-a-video-game Flash (http://www.comicbookdb.com/graphics/comic_graphics/1/161/79222_20070120073504_large.jpg)

That's enough flashes to keep us going for dozens of sets without ever giving us a normal Barry Allen!

Though, they may not do a figure of "Flash and Kid Flash share a body". That's just disturbing to look at.

how about all the villians from morrison's crazy batman run so far? I really want to see the circus freaks that batman and robin fought in issues 1-3, Simon the RIP rogues gallery as well as flamingo, scarlett, Professor Pyg, Damian from issue 666 and 700 batman, Lord death man, and the dudes from batman the return.

While we are at it... lets have dark mary marvel, Darkseid, mandrakk, vampire Ultraman, another robot superman, Nix uotan, the tiger people, A tawky tawny clix,
alpha lanterns, the alternate furies, the radiant, some of the supermen of the universe, and of course both versions of darkseid.

or Superman based with Legion oSH in it

I'm a fan of the recent theme-y Marvel sets, so I totally wouldn't mind seeing the next DC set be a Lantern-based set. I'm not too big a fan of the comics right now, but it seems like fan-demand is there, a movie tie-in is there, and plenty of unmade characters are there. Honestly I'd rather see a whole GL set than have somewhat short-lived characters like Red Lantern Guy Gardner taking up space in DC75, which is taking on the difficult task of trying to incorporate the entire history of DC Comics. We've gotten Brightest Day and Blackest Night, just straight-up call the set "Green Lantern's Light!" and you'd likely have a winner.

As for Parallax-Flash, the idea is silly and fun, but a normal Barry def needs to be made in Heroclix first.

Though I still really want the next set to be "Shell of Turtle-Boy" and be completely Silver Aged-based. Then we could get out FatFlash.

See, I'd rather Parallax manifest himself in the Flash as an overly-loud, annoying voice that makes him afraid to run fast.

"You will not run fast...you CANNOT run fast...what if there's a patch of ice? You could skin your knee! Your KNEE, man!"

A DC Cosmic themed set would be fine by me.
Omega Men, Legion Of Super Heroes and Villains, Fourth World (with the 5 Forever People) into it, a bunch of Dominators and other aliens species as generics, some Lanterns into the mix...
Sub-theme would be either horror/mystical (Dr Fate remake, Ian Karkull, Doctor Occult, Arion and his brother...) or Aquaman themed (atlantis generics, some old foes like the Fisherman, The Shark, the Awesome Threesome, DC's Deep Six, Charybdis, etc ...).

I'm not even going to lie. I would love a Puppet Flash. That story is completely bonkers. Yes, he actually gets turned into a puppet in the story. It's not just a cover gimmick.

An Amazing Transformations of barry Allen clix would be awesome too. Each click could be something different!
