Recycling Bin 08 - Speedster Pogrom (Mar 1999) If comics scribe Mark Waid had less going for him, one could become downright cranky considering the way he inflated the concept of the speed force to nuisance levels within the DC Universe, and furthermore used it something like a walking hit squad for characters who ignore the speed limits of conventional physics. Though the comics claim that Barry Allen vanished into the "speed force," the villain low sales really did him in. However, this dangerous power, variously recorded as "speed force" and "speed field," would become something around which the talented Mark Waid would, in later comics canon, center a number of storylines. www.fortunecity.com /tattooine/niven/142/recycleb/rb08.html   (2085 words)

Wonder Woman #214 Wally heals himself from the clawed attacks of Cheetah and defeats his foe by stealing her super-speed energy. Super-speed cannot be in the first place "taught" since the Flash absorbs the Cheetah's speed as a result of his contact with the Speed Force. If he were to grab the Cheetah by her tail one of two things should have happened. www.silverbulletcomicbooks.com /reviews/111120750555159.htm   (1240 words)

Where’s Barry? Marvel Comics got into the act in 1990, with Quasar #17, in which a blond amnesiac in the tatters of a red outfit appears in the middle of a super-speed race and outruns all the contestants. All characters are the property of DC Comics and are used here without permission. Then there’s the line, “And there are no accidents.” So the Human Thunderbolt can be tied in with the Speed Force: he became part of the Speed Force, which struck his past self in the form of a lightning bolt. www.hyperborea.org /flash/wheres-barry.html   (1382 words)

Finder Keeper: An interview with Carla Speed McNeil McNeil is one of the best-known self-publishers, and believes that was her best - and indeed only - route into comics. Comics were part of her world from an early age, but it wasn't the usual four-colour heroics that caught her eye.

3.08: Net Surf Go Speed Racer, go Speed Racer, go Speed Racer, GO-O-O-O! Last - and best - are the comics. Comics (not to be confused with the ultra-underground "comix") have always been a subversive underground phenomenon, so it's only natural that they'd take to the Net like Aquaman to water. Comics experts, nay, scholars, congregate on Usenet's rec.arts.comics.misc for Talmudic discussions on the Marvel oeuvre, obscure vintage comic books, and the mind-bending continuity conundrums of parallel universes. www.wired.com /wired/archive/3.08/net_surf.html   (1658 words)

Kleeman and Mike comics Note: The above article believes the speed of the black cutworm moth (60 - 70 mph) to be authentic. Many people claim this snake has a top speed of 20 mph, but more reliable sources put the speed arond 7 mph, possibly up to 10. If that is true, then the insects could conceivably finish in fourth place, ahead of horses and greyhounds. www.kleemanandmike.com /comics/howtheyfared.html   (649 words)

Superman's Super-Powers Today Superman can withstand the heat at the core of the sun, soar through the air at a speed thousands of times the speed of light, and extinguish a star with a puff of his breath as though it were merely a candle on a birthday cake. In January 1960, Superman's super-hearing enables him to trace sound waves to their ultimate source: a space ship millions of miles from Earth (Action Comics #260) and by December of the same year, Superman can hear Big Ben chiming the hour in London while he is in the Sahara Desert. Action Comics # 1 (1938), the first comic book in which Superman appeared, claimed only that its hero could "leap 1/8th of a mile; hurdle a twenty-story building... theages.superman.ws /Encyclopaedia/powers.php   (4682 words)

Taskmaster #4 Review - Silver Bullet Comics The idea that the Taskmaster used increased tape speed to grant himself a momentary burst of super-fast attacks is a bit shaky from a logic standpoint, but it did make for a rather imaginative use of his powers nevertheless. The second area would be the scene where the Taskmaster engages in a bit of fast-forward kung-fu, as the blurring effect is put to good use during this sequence to create a sense of speed. It's a solid issue in that the Taskmaster is presented as a highly competent character, but the ending this issue is given is almost embarrassing in its unwillingness to cross the line that it needed to. www.silverbulletcomicbooks.com /reviews/102210603476539.htm   (4682 words)

RGJ.com - One Mammoth of a ride Mammoth plans about $10 million to $15 million worth of on-mountain changes this summer, including a new high-speed, six-person chair out of the Juniper Springs Lodge. But we didn’t encounter more than a couple-minute wait in lines for lifts, many of which are high-speed, and found ample room on the many slopes, some of which are wider than interstate highways. Mammoth and its partner, Intrawest Corp., have improved facilities on and off the mountain, from new lifts and gondolas to new lodging. www.rgj.com /news/stories/lifestyle/955062866.php   (748 words)

The Unofficial Flash Biography The first Flash was able to speed at multiples of the speed of light, had control of his molecular vibration (which he could alter its alignment by vibrating at super-speeds) where he could pass through solid objects and keep his head slightly out of phase to hid his identity. Quote taken from Flash Comics #5 (May 1940) He and his wife Joan were both present at the accident which bathed most of the Justice Society with rejuvenating rays, and the two continue to have a close relationship, also being very fond of the current Flash, Wally West and his new wife Linda Park. www.dcuguide.com /profile.php?name=flash   (1240 words)

The Planet - Flash too slow But on observations of superman ive come to the conclusion that heroes in comics are often gettin short changed with their powers. It’s a comic book, by the same rational you could say that Wally shouldn’t be able to move at those speeds anyway. And they were also talking about the exact speed measurements of the speed of both light and sound AND the forces of gravity. www.bluetights.net /theplanet/showthread.php?t=1656   (1307 words)

Silver Surfer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Silver Surfer can utilize the surfboard to attain 99% of the speed of light, but seldom exceeds Mach 10 (ten times the speed of sound) within the outer layers of a planet's atmosphere, and Mach 5 within the inner layers. Silver Surfer briefly had his own cartoon series on the FOX Network in 1998 after appearing in the Fantastic Four cartoon that ran in 1996. The Silver Surfer possesses vast power known as the "Power Cosmic," which was granted him by Galactus as a part of the process of physically restructuring the Surfer's former organic body. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Silver_Surfer   (1307 words)

ICv2 Talk Back - Now Comics' Tony Caputo Asks What If...? Part III Speed Racer made the original Now Comics back in 1987 (and in return, Now Comics made Speed Racer a rich intellectual property), this could potentially do the same for many companies and Marvel IP. Now Comics' Tony Caputo saw the comments by Jim Brocius of Cosmic Comics in Las Vegas (see "Jim Brocius of Cosmic Comics on Marvel Licensing Its Comics") on his essay on Marvel licensing out its comics (see "Now Comics' Tony Caputo Asks What If?"), and has this response: I can give you a list of a dozen small publishers that I correspond with (because of my how-to book), that wouldn't mind the opportunity to publish a comic book that sold 20,000, or even 10,000 copies per month, let alone a Marvel Comic. www.icv2.com /articles/talkback/7045.html   (1307 words)

UGO.com Forums - Xbox 360 Specs Microsoft has told us that the controller will have both high-speed and low-speed rumble features, but it's one thing we weren't able to get a feel for yet. The Xbox 360 controller is wireless, and that's probably the biggest difference between it and the existing controller. Microsoft's first-generation Xbox controller was a bulky thing that the company revised fairly early on, probably after receiving a lot of significant customer feedback about the shortcomings of the original design. forums.ugo.com /showthread.php?t=24839   (1501 words)
