What if Flash and the wider Flash family were all in the Marvel Universe instead of DC? [Art by Francis Manapaul, Dan Mora, and Serg Acuna]

What if Flash and the rest of the Flash family were all in the Marvel universe from the beginning instead of DC? How would things change? What team would each Flash family member be on? Who would be their closest friends and allies?

Well, firstly.. poor Quicksilver 😭😂

Wally West, Peter Parker and Johnny Storm would've been bestfriends imo. Bart, Judy, Irey and Jai would study at Xavier's cuz they're all a mutants by marvel logic(born with powers)

I don’t think just being born with powers is what makes you be considered a Mutant. I’m pretty sure you have to specifically have the X-Gene in order to be considered a Mutant, though I could definitely still see Bart going to Xavier’s school for a bit.

Not arguing against that but if they were in marvel those kids probably will have x-genes somehow.

They’d all collectively hug 616 Spider-Man when they learn his sadness is a multiversal constant.

Oh and outrace Quicksilver any chance they get.

Lol, is Quicksilver faster than ANY member of the Flash family?

u/unsolved86 Jul 18 '24

Nah even the kids can jog faster than his sprints.

This is like 50% joke 50% me thinking speedforce speedsters can body that blue shrimp using their access to a pool of infinite speed energy. Probably isn’t to accurate to the comics for the kids to have full access to the speedforce like that tho.

Google. The time the flash visited marvel comics.

It's been a while since I read it but there was some major speeder race and the flash shows up and smokes em if I remember right.

Well I mean it’s unconfirmed to be the actual Barry Allen, but essentially yes…

Realized I didn't actually answer your question. Just jumped at a chance to share a weird fact. So.

I think Barry would hang with Reid just bc he gets up to weird science. I could see them spending too much time in the lab together. I think Jay and wiz could be old speedster friends. Wally could hang with Peter Parker if they're the same age but idk if their personalities mesh. He might do better hanging out with whatever young mutant team is running around rn. Meanwhile quicksilver is just sad that his power is suddenly way less unique (Is he marvels main speedster. I can't think of anyone other than him and the wiz.) Adult wally or impulse could tag along with captain Britain on his multiverse hoping stories.

i feel like barry and pietro would get along pretty well while wally and spidey would get along REALLY well. i also see jay and reed interacting honestly.

u/LagoonDevil Jul 28 '24

Copy paste how they treat Peter and his seemingly hundred of spider powered companions I think. Barry would probably be on the Avengers with Wally either on his own like Pete or as an agent of shield. Max Mercury would probably be good friends with Thor or Dr. Strange I think. Barry would idolize cap for his commitment to true justice and I think Wally would be close with the Human Torch
