#earth-3a

i'm glad you do haha, i feel similarly.

yes, DC's Flash has a whole "ooohhh look its kinda you but evil, but actually they're completely different individual they just share the same powers as you," and while they're neat and all, i always have preferred a "Man vs Self" narrative. (in a literal sense)

its much more interesting in my own opinion, in a way its a character deconstruction, putting up a mirror showing an alternate version of one self, a what-could've-been.

tl;dr, despite everything, its still you, haha.

here have another Red Bolt, on the house

okay, the name is BoltLuck 🩸🍀

Anyway here's a sketch to start it of.

Also I love your art and world + you pulled me into Flinx despite the fact I never watched the original show (which I have now). Thank you so much^^

ohh hey heyyyy welcome welcome. 👋

okay so in regard to Earth-3a, a variant of Earth-3 and elseworld within my Teen Titans : Side-B AU, despite me drawing him more often, Red Bolt is actually somewhat of a wild card.

odds of the HIVE Heroes meeting him are a bit slim and thus not very often, because his turf is Keystone City, he only sticks around the Tyrants when Red Robin asks him for a favor and vice versa.

not only that, the Teen Tyrants are usually dealt with the Brotherhood of Justice and not the young HIVE Heroes because of how risky dealing with them is. so the very few times HIVE are sent out to stop Teen Tyrants, Red Bolt may be there too, not always, but maybe.

thing is even when they cross paths, he doesn't bother speaking or keeping eye contact with other HIVE members except Lady Luck. only she can take a closer look and knows the further scope of Red Bolt on a personal level, due to her goodness (naivety?), she promised to keep his secrets and their private encounters between the two of them.

her teammates are very much in the dark except from already recorded public data, like the fact that he's among the most dangerous bad guys (cue KF's "one of the best" line) who's around their age.

anyway, since you're a new Flinx liker + TT03 watcher, here's a little doodle for ya to illustrate the scenario above haha.

oh anon they're just eye make up haha, he looks just like regular ol' Wally without them.

somewhat.
