![]() ![]() For one, Iris’ investigation was the perfect opportunity for Black Hole to recruit her. The members of Black Hole were able to take Barry to his limit in multiple ways and corrupted his connection to the Speed Force, proving just how dangerous they were. One of the most prominent members of the organization is Raijin, a Speedster who is known as the “Master of Lightning.” Joseph Carver, Fast Track (Meena Dhawan), and Gorilla Grodd are all leaders of the organization. The organization manages to create several weapons with the powers they harness, including “Lightning Guns” and “Tire Spikes,” which tap into Speed Force energy and interfere with a Speedster’s connection to it. Their ultimate goal is to negatively harness the powers of the Speed Force and tamper with them. Her investigation ultimately leads her to discover that Black Hole has been responsible for all the missing corpses. This leads Iris to discover that several other powered people that were killed by Godspeed had been taken as well. Kyle’s mother informs Iris that Kyle had powers and that his body was taken for research. After Barry and Wally manage to stop his killing spree, Iris goes on to investigate several cases where one of Godspeed’s victims had gone missing.ĭuring her investigation, Iris interviews the mother of a boy named Kyle. During his time as Godspeed, August killed anyone who stood in his way of finding his brother’s killer. This accident is what lead him to become the villain known as Godspeed. ![]() The accident, much like Barry’s, granted him superspeed and a connection with the Speed Force. After the heist, Detective August Heart, who was present at the crime scene, was struck by lightning. The terrorist group was stopped by The Flash during a heist on S.T.A.R. Origin:īlack Hole made their first appearance during The Flash #1. Given all of this, I wanted to take time and talk about the origin of Black Hole and explain just why Team Flash is in for the fight of their lives. Barry’s battle against this deadly organization has been one of my favorite Flash stories in recent history. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Joshua Williamson and Carmine Di Giandomenico’s run when Black Hole became a more prominent threat. They’ve taken Barry to his limit, even turning several of his friends and loved ones against him. The organization debuted fairly recent but proved to be a major threat to the Scarlet Speedster. If that name sounds familiar to some of you, then it’s because the organization was introduced during the first issue of The Flash, under the DC Rebirth line, back in 2016. This organization was officially revealed to be called Black Hole. Iris ( Candice Patton) used her journalism skills to dig deep into this organization but ended up coming short. Back in episode two of season six, it was revealed that a mysterious group was kidnapping metahumans all over Central City. Much has changed since Crisis on The Flash, but none of these changes compare to the new threat that they face.

The images will enlarge to about 6 inches and more if you have a larger computer screen. I photographed them with my iPad and cleaned them up with my Mac as best as I could but what you will see is a fair reproduction of what was printed. Let me apologize upfront that the production values are not what they should be. So while I’m sitting around bemoaning the fact that I won’t be making San Diego again this year.,I remembered the copies that I had of this strip and decided to share it with you all. Several years ago I picked up a bunch of old sunday newspaper comic strips and the complete Black Hole was among them. Jack Kirby did a strip in the late seventies based an an adaptation of Disney’s Black Hole movie of about the same period.As far as I know it has never been reproduced in it’s entirety although there is supposed to be a book in France some where but nobody has ever seen it. OK, Here’s something that you probably have never seen !
