Earth 3: OOC

I can grok that.

I'm just data-greedy.

"Greed lessons what is gathered."
-Old Arab proverb.

"Revenge is a dish best served cold."
-Old Klingon proverb.

"Things are much easier with cookies."
-Old Martian proverb.
 
This was also the name of the haircut that Charlie Brown's dad used to give him, if anyone else wanted it.

Charlie Brown's dad was a barber. Fun fact.
 
I've updated and revised and expanded my existing post to more fit the timeframe as it currently stands.

Feel free to reread, if you're of an inclination.

Bio:

“Make every second count,” that’s what my father always said to me. It was his mantra. For years I thought he said it because of his job. Rex Tyler made it big in the pharmaceutical world. Before long Tyler Industries was becoming a recognized name. My dad wanted to help people so he always tried to keep the bottom figure low, not only because more people will buy a cheap and effective drug, but he didn’t want to shut out his fellow man. He didn’t have much growing up so being fortunate enough to have an empire in his own name humbled him. And if weren’t for the people then there wouldn’t been an empire. So people were always vital to dad.

What I remember of him was mostly good. Any afternoon baseball game, after school play, whatever it was, if Dad didn’t have a big appointment or meeting, he was there. Often he was my loudest supporter. Evenings were another story. He had a lot of late night business and emergencies pop up. The price he paid for spending afternoons with me.

When I was twenty a heart attack took him. I was on the verge of going into to get my BA in Business. Everything came together for me in college. By the time I left with all of my degrees in hand I was nearing thirty and Tyler Industries were waiting on me. Before stepping to the board I wanted to know everything about the company. So I dug through archives and old notes and that’s when I found it, the answer to a lot of questions.

Dad was in so many meetings to discuss miracle pills. Cures, faster relief, longer relief, everything that came in a small little capsule were his world, but he kept the crown jewel to the company a secret. A complete success and an utter failure at the same time: Miraclo was its name. The pill gave the user super human strength,, speed and durability. Basically for an hour you were God.

The failure came from the addictive properties of Miraclo and damage done to the body afterward. Dad’s notes on Miraclo had everything on the increased heart rate, the strength and speed capabilities, everything he could have tested without alerting attention to anyone about the pill, or the fact he was the lab rat for these trials. I had to smile when looking over the first page because in big bold letters it said: Make every second count.

A couple of years have passed. CEO life has been boring. I’ve felt trapped and unable to help people like Dad did. The television began to talk about aliens, costumed characters, and something else that caught my eye. Venom, a new street drug, was starting to flow. One report called it, “The strongest steroid known to man,” and footage of people that had done superhuman feats with it. Something didn’t sit right with me.

Working in the lab I came up with a Miraclo of my own. I tried to separate, extract, and replace the harmful elements while returning the superhuman qualities. It worked but long term effects I would have to examine for some time. I had the feeling it would be needed.

Thanks to a disguise I was about to buy some Venom and it wasn’t cheap. Something horrible waited for me when I broke down the drug. Venom was a modified form of Miraclo. My Dad’s legacy had been tarnished by someone, and no one but me knew it

Seeing that the world was getting used to costumed people thanks to “Superman,” one more hero couldn’t have hurt. Since time was against me I decided to use it as a symbol. Before long the Hourman (lame I know) was born and he was going to make every second count.

Oh oh oh! Can I play a bad guy too Vic?:) After watching the Flashpoint paradox I wanna play Professor Zoom to Chas' Flash!
 
The main bad guys i think the hero's player has should have the option of controlling. Such as Batman's player would have first dibs on Joker. So it's up to Chas. if she wants to run whoever her reverse-flash is or if she wants to give it over to you. I'm fine either way.

In one version of her story, Jessi's brother-- written by me --was to come back as an enemy, but he would be under the control of someone darker.

If we were to do this again, have Bart/Barry come back as an Anti-Flash or a Counter-Flash or that sort of thing, Wyld's Reverse Flash could be the force behind the dark mind control?

It would be something in the future, though, not right away. Would that be doable, Wyld?

I'm game. A sister would be more my style though;).......

Well, I imagined that if you were doing a Professor Zoom of my Flash, that she would be a she. :: grins ::

I don't know if they'd be related, but that could be interesting.

There's also the mystery of where Jessi's "Flash" persona came from in the first place, powers are one thing but a whole 'nother mind?

Could play off of that.

Yeppers. Someone in Jessie's life in the present with the future "Reverse Flash" inside her. A time travel twist. A mousie coworker gets "infected" with the future Reverse Flash psyche.....

You're a genius.

Yes.

This needs to happen.

I'm still scared shitless, but yes, yes, good.

Again, not immediately. But yes.
 
Time to toot my own horn:

I am really frelling proud of the poetic wordplay in Emil's epitaph.
