So, it seems like we’re on the cusp of a sort of renaissance for superhero video games. There’s, of course, Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2 and Wolverine, a Ninja Turtles game based on the Last Ronin comic, a Black Panther game developed by Cliffhanger Studios, as well as Monolith’s Wonder Woman game, Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad, and whatever James Gunn is cooking up when it comes to his interconnected universe. But there’s one character that I think desperately needs the video game treatment, and that’s none other than the Flash.

Some say that super speed isn't possible to adapt properly into a video game, but there have been fan projects as well as a cancelled Flash game that show the potential of the Fastest Man Alive in gaming, as well as games like Sonic and racing games like Burnout Paradise.

I also have a few ideas myself that are kind of out there and fun, merging modern Zelda games and the time loop mechanics of Majora's Mask with high speed thrills.

With great power, there must also come great responsibility: https://ukraine.ua/news/stand-with-ukraine/ https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ https://www.equalitytexas.org
