The Flash becomes the new Dr. Manhattan
DC Comics released huge sneak peek for Generation Zero, which is the publisher’s FCBD title, that reveals what is next in the DC Universe by bringing characters from Watchmen into the DC Universe.
What was the solicitation information as revealed by DC Comics?
Turns out that there will be a classic DC character who will either become the world’s greatest hero or perhaps become the worst threat the DCU has ever seen. This character would apparently take powers of Doctor Manhattan.
The story comes as a post-script to the current Flash Foward miniseries from writer Scott Lobdell and artist Brett Booth, and it’s Wally West who is going to get a fancy new coat of blue.
What else do we know about West Wally?
Wally along with his wife and kids were taken out of existence by 2011’s The New 52 relaunch and then brought back to existence as part of DC Universe: Rebirth #1 in 2015.
Later, in 2019 he was unintentionally transformed into a mass murderer behind the events of Heroes in Crisis.
Meanwhile, Doctor Manhattan gave his powers to a child in the Watchmen universe. But it turns out he was not able to give away all of his powers.
