Hope his music career pans out; can't imagine his new name working too well on a resume...

[Morgoth]

What a wanker.

[Gorgon]

If I were to change my name I could be a 'Tom', hard to pull off I know, but who wants to be a Jacob, or Michael, a mister everybody

 

If I lived in Eastern Europe I would so be a 'Goran'.

 

Asia, hmm.. Gichin Funakoshi, after Gichin Funakoshi

 

Africa, Mobabe something.

[Trenitay]

This guy is my inspiration.

Or on a passport. Passport control officials tend not to have much sense of humour, at least not while at work.

[Amentep]

I imagine filling out any form that requires complete name would be tedious.

 

I wonder what he considers his middle name? Is he casually known as Captain Combined?

[Walsingham]

I find it oddly refreshing.

[Diogo Ribeiro]

No one is faster than The Flash! He saved us from the Anti-Monitor only to go back in time and create himself!

[Amentep]

Didn't Wally West do the same thing? Become the Lightning Bolt that gave him his powers?

[Diogo Ribeiro]

Not sure. I know that happened with Barry Allen, always loved that story; read it originally on those Flash chronicles talking about the 3 Flashes and that guy from the future... Jon something (Fox?), who was bombarded with Tachyon energy as he went into the past to warn the Flashes of a common enemy, then became a future Flash as well to stop that enemy. Few other 'tragic hero' stories in comics at the time got to me the way Barry's story did.

 

As for Wally, I remember the same kind of accident happening, but at one point I stopped following the characters so I'm unaware of what now constitutes his true origin.

[Amentep]

IIRC when they introduced the Speed Force concept they had West trying to escape the Speed Force and traveling back along his timeline until he became the lightning bolt that made his powers and using that energy drain on the speed force to put himself back in time.

 

Or something. I wasn't the biggest Flash fan, and I haven't read the pertinent issues in years.

[Diogo Ribeiro]

Curious, didn't know that. Have to check it out better someday. Thanks

[Killian Kalthorne]

I'll just call him Steve.

[wesley2]

Have no idea why anyone would want to do this.

[Trenitay]

Who wouldnt want to do this?

[Amentep]

People looking for a job in the corporate world?

[Trenitay]

If I had to choose between hiring Captain Fantastic Faster Than yada yada, and John Boringsman, I would pick Captain Combined.

[Amentep]

Most people wouldn't, although I guess if it was a job in a comic shop, he might be a shoe-in!
