The Flash
Barry Allen , the fastest man alive , a.k.athe Flash , is known around the world asthe speedster superhero supreme . While this virtuoso of speed has reigned top hot dog in comics , he is a DC hero , which means there are bound to be copy cats on the other side . Marvel ’s result to DC ’s Flash is lie with as none other than The Blur .
So beingQuicksilver is Marvel ’s most well known speedster , how is this other sub meant to represent the Flash ? Well it is because the Blur , know out of costume as Stanley Stewart , is part of a chemical group of Hero within the Marvel Comics existence that are literally mean to be a direct burlesque of DC ’s Justice League ( and come on , his name is theBlur , a moderately obvious split on theFlash ) . This group is known as The Squadron Supreme .

The Origins of The Blur and The Squadron Supreme
The Squadron Supreme has been make over a few time in the Marvel Universet . to begin with the group was conceived as a A-one squad from an substitute Earth , Earth - Squadron . Far less ethical than their DC counterparts , the team used gadget to interpolate the behavior of some of their enemies , changing them to join the Squadron and fight alongside them through what they called the Utopia Program . Over the years , the squadron would impose Earth-616 ( where the traditional Marvel Universe takes place ) and battles between the group andthe Avengersunfolded . This original translation of the Blur was actually not even called the Blur , but rather the Whizzer , although based on the fact the powers are monovular and the latest Blur dawn the same genuine life identity ( sort of ) , it is sightly to get together them as one and the same . Stewart got his powers through a nano virus , much like many other appendage of the Squadron , although , just as the fiber has shift over clock time , so too has the generator of his powers .
Powers and Abilities
Being a whang off ofthe Flash make the Blur ’s powers quite obvious , superspeed , of course , but his rapidity come with an issue Barry Allen does n’t have to deal with ; the Blur is unequal to of stopping . That ’s right-hand , bless with tops fastness , the Blur is also cursed with the inability to remain still . This keeps the Blur on his toe at all times in a quite real gumption , only being capable to catch some Z’s through the enjoyment of intense super ataractic agent . changeless movement also means invariant lather and require for fuel , making an ongoing joke of the character ’s need to also constantly eat up and his severe body scent .
The Second Blur
A plebeian stem in strip is the passing of the mantle from one hero to another and Blur is no exception . Also a member of the Squadron Supreme ( although an alternate one ) , the second Blur , Jeffrey Walters , comes from the New Universe , and as its only subsister , finds himself trapped on Earth-616 . Struck by the White Event , Walters finds himself able to move at incredible speeds . While he in spades had a good run as the Blur , Marvel has make over the entirety of the Squadron Supreme , bringing back Stewart to the purpose with a modern whirl .
The Modern Blur and The Squadron Supreme of America
Selected by Agent Phil Coulson himself , thislatest interpreting of The Squadron Supreme(now called Squadron Supreme of America ) is an constitution of Washington , D.C. ’s greatest sub . smartly using the nation ’s capital letter to pun DC Comics in an dead brilliant way , each member of the squad directly correlate to a appendage of the Justice League . Batman is represented through Nighthawk , Wonder Woman as Power Princess ( born in Utopia Isle rather than Paradise Island ) , and Superman in the form of Hyperion . While the similarities between the characters and their DC counterparts are glaringly obvious , there is a major divergence ; all of these fighter were whipped up in a science lab by the demon Mephisto and programmed by the Power Elite to fight directly for the United States ' government .
So while Stanley is back , this technically makes the tardy version an entirely unlike person . This squad is far more crimson than their Justice League similitude , solve problems through brute force , and the current Blur ’s mental body politic is anything but salubrious . He uses his superspeed in waysgood boy Barry Allen would never even daydream of . The Blur , just like the rest of his team , does n’t mind the furiousness , and uses his speed to promptly qualify of his enemies by beheading . That ’s right , in the blink of an eye he just straight knocks enemies head off . It is thisBlurthat modern fans are most familiar with , and the one a lector would slip up upon today if keeping up with the comics .
