"Hey Flash. Looks like you could use my help ..."

She’s A Star - A Lisa Snart Fanmix

@gorogues -- I’d meant to write this up ages ago, but I’m doing it now. Over in the Sideways comic, DC brought back Replicant... or so I thought? But whoever was in that issue, was almost nothing like Tony Gambi. And here’s my proof:

Tony Gambi, from Flash Secret Files and Origins #2: Origin: Changed by the Humanifold into "a living composite weapon"; permanently in this form. Powers: Absorbs and transmutes technology into metagene counterparts, and incorporates them into his DNA. Motivation: "This is for what you did to my friends! This is for the Rogues!"

Replicant, from Sideways #4: Origin: Powers are built into a costume. "My suit! It's failing!" Powers: Copies metagenes, which are added to costume's powers. "I've decided to copy and keep your powers... since you're never going to need them again." Motivation: "I hope those cameras are rolling. Because you are going to die horribly. And I'm going to look good doing it." More importantly, Tony Gambi’s origin story as Replicant doesn’t work in Rebirth. Tony volunteered to have T.O. Morrow’s Humanifold transform him into Replicant, since the Dark Flash attacked several Rogues and culminated in crippling Captain Boomerang. But in Rebirth... Captain Boomerang was not a Rogue, but with the Suicide Squad. The Dark Flash wouldn’t have existed, thanks to Abra Kadabra’s interference with Linda Park’s timeline/history. T.O. Morrow himself hasn’t shown up in Rebirth.

I absolutely do! I like the odd cup of coffee every now and then but I prefer decaf, otherwise my heart goes [insert particularly fast drum solo] in my chest. The small amount of caffeine in tea doesn’t really bother me unless I drink it late in the afternoon (but that’s what herbal tea is for, innit). Thanks :o)
