Not sure about WW, but here's the Captain Marvel line-up... Funny thing, for a moment, I thought this was a FAR SIDE cartoon...

What is amazing in the Flash TV show is how many times a guy with light speed plus just stands in front of an enemy while they attack him. This is actually starting to annoy me. I'm watching the show for the first time lately. In the penultimate episode of season 2, he did this 3 times! First he talked with Zoom, then Black Siren kicked the crap out of him, but worst of all, he just stood there while Zoom MURDERED his father.
At the end of season 2, he suddenly decided to go back in time AGAIN and actually prevent his mother's murder (which would, theoretically, invalidate his entire life and countless events of the lives of friends of his). WHY didn't he just go back in time ONE minute at the start of the episode and prevent his FATHER's murder, which had JUST happened?
Even my best friend, who got me into this show, had to admit he couldn't figure that one.

Part of my issue with a lot of the major DC heroes is they are just so ludicrously overpowered that it is really difficult to create plausible challenges for them. Case in point, the above criticisms about the Flash show.

She's swifter than Mercury. Diana is meant to be stronger and faster than any man, equal to any woman. These are ideas that didn't transition over after Marston's death. Welcome to CCF, dabellwrites ! Based on what you've commented on thus far - two Kirby threads, Astro City, and this - you'll fit in well here. Kirby and Astro City are two of my favorites. Think I will.

Case in point, the above criticisms about the Flash show. I don't know if this is the reason or not, but over the years I've noticed that in my own home-made comics, my heroes tend to be normal humans using tools or technology. (The LSH wouldn't approve... heh.) Except for the sorcerer... but he's an under-achiever who found a way to get around his own limitations.
