SUPERSPEED
Flash may move through all figures, never takes leaving engagement attacks, and does not have to stop his movement when entering water spaces. After taking a turn with Flash, if he did not use his Speed Shift Special Attack this turn, he may move up to an additional 4 spaces.

SPEED SHIFT SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 1. Attack 3.
Instead of attacking normally with Flash, you may move Flash up to 4 spaces. Flash can attack up to 3 times with this special attack at any point before, during, or after this move as long as Flash is on a space where he could end his movement. After using this special attack, place Flash on the space he occupied before using this special attack.

TEMPORAL DEFENSE
Once per round, if Flash or any friendly figure within 3 spaces of Flash is attacked by an opponent’s figure that does not have the Temporal Defense special power, and at least 1 skull is rolled, you may reveal and remove any numbered Order Marker on this card. After removing the numbered Order Marker, the opponent’s turn immediately ends and the attacked figure receives no wounds.

I like Speed Shift a lot. My main questions are whether or not he's an active time traveler (and thus deserves Temporal Defense) and whether he should be as fast as Barry and Wally.

I had the exact same questions???

Likewise.

I don't know all the Flashes, so I have no idea who this guy is and how he measures up to the other 2 previous Flashes.

[Scapemage]

To answer Johnny's questions, John Fox is technically the fourth Flash (to be created, since he lives in the future he would be fifth due to Bart). He is an active time traveler, and matched the speed of the other Flashes.

[IAmBatman]

I'm happy with this. My only question is if he really deserves 5 Life instead of 4.

[Spidey'tilIDie]

I'd say no, he's not particularly hardy. And then in Initial see if 5 or 6 Defense is better thematically.

EDIT: Also, not that it effects the design, but John is like the 9th or 10th Flash and eventually ends up in the 853rd century in Justice Legion Alpha.

[Lord Pyre]

Never heard of him, but it looks good. How does he time travel, out of curiosity? Does he have the tech, or is it some weird running-so-fast-you-time-travel thingy?
