DC characters - The Flash (John Fox)
36 notes · View notes
John Fox is such an interesting character because he and Wally are direct parallels to Eobard and Barry. Yet the fact that John never became a Reverse Flash, and instead carried on the Flash legacy, speaks to Wally’s compassionate and begrudgingly forgiving nature.
So first the parallels.
John Fox was born in the far off future where he grew up idolizing the Flash. The Flash was his hero, his savior. When Fox's city was being threatened Fox decided that only the Flash could save them and time travelled to get help from a Flash. John wasn't able to get help but he did acquire superspeed himself after time traveling. John donned the name ‘The Flash’ and created a Flash suit out of Flash suits he stole from the Flash museum. John Fox managed to save the future version of Central City and he got his first taste of being a hero.
Already the parallels to Eobard are obvious. The Flash obsession, the time travel, trying to be the Flash, ect. The only notable difference thus far is that Eobard had to invent crime to ‘fight’ when he was attempting to be the Flash and John had a legit crisis to combat. This legitimate need for a Flash combined with John’s willingness to step up would make him more of a Wally parallel than an Eobard parallel but unfortunately for him it didn’t last long. Due to future technology Fox became redundant. There was no need for a Flash and he was restricted to permanent guard duty at the Flash museum.
Tumblr media
Taking away the need for a Flash made him desperate to go back in time and be a hero again. When an amnesic Wally West arrived in his century Fox saw his chance. He, following in Eobard’s footsteps, replaced Wally as the Flash. John went so far as to fall in love with Linda and strain her lightning rod connection with Wally, which trapped him in the speedforce. This was known information to John Fox. He was aware that Linda’s hope and love was Wally’s only chance at returning. What John did was akin to attempted murder. John wanted Wally's life. He lived in his house, donned his name and uniform, did his job and stole his girlfriend. He killed Wally for it. It’s really not hard to connect this behavior to Eobard who has tried to replace Barry multiple times in the past.
Fox is also not a great Flash. He’s skittish. Unsure and nervous. He’s playing the part of a hero rather than actually being one. Whereas Eobard was too aggressive as the Flash, John was too timid. Both, ultimately, were poor imitations of the originals.

This is where the similarities stop. While Barry reacted to Eobard with righteous fury, Wally reacted with anger, some sarcasm and then basically said ‘goddammit John you are helping me fix this mess or we are going to die trying’. When faced with a man who attempted to kill him and take over his life, Wally could only punch the man and be mildly snippy with him. Wally didn't want Fox to be an enemy. Wally saw potential in him. Wally saw the good man and hero Fox could be.
Tumblr media
So Wally walked John through being a hero. He made Fox fix his mistakes, taught Fox how to save the day and by the end of it Wally ended up forgiving him. He gave John his stamp of approval, called him a Flash and sent him on his way.
This was a play by play on how to create a Reverse Flash. This was the recipe. John, by all means, should have been a villain. But Wally isn’t Barry. They are different people and they react in different ways. Wally is driven by the need to see the inherent good in people. He will always give people a second chance and, because of that, against all odds, Wally walked out of there with John Fox as a trusted friend and a Flash in his own right.

They're running in teams because there are still too many of them for one poll and I was OTL. I'll just make them duke it out individually later.
Also no I'm not including Barry, Wally, or Bart because of my last poll. I should have expected the Bart sweep, so now we're giving our love to the less appreciated speedsters.
Owen still counts as a speedster in my heart (He's Meloni's son and has a connection to a long line of speedsters. He counts.) You can't convince me otherwise.

John Fox as The Flash and John Stewart (huh weird I did two Johns back to back) as The Emerald Knight (the cool one, the evil space paladin from Earth-3)

I love Pied Piper and I love his and Wally's friendship, but can we talk about Linda and Hartley's friendship please 🥺. There are obviously many more instances of them being besties but this set of panels lives rent free in my head so let's focus on this scene for now. Wally is missing and John Fox - an unknown to the present flashfam speedster from the future shows up instead. Linda offers him a place to stay, but also asks Hartley to move in as well. Part of why he is there is obviously because of their initial distrust of John which he doesn't really hide, but as John admits himself he is mostly there to support Linda and help her through this difficult period of time.
And the way he puts his hand on her shoulder while giving John a warning glare and makes a bad impression of Wally's oversized ego to make hear laugh. He loves his friends so much 🥹. He clearly makes Linda feel secure and safe while she needs it the most.
Piper used to be Linda's closest friend. And now with everything that is happening: the pregnancy, new powers and the usual superhero related mess she could really use someone trusted that she can talk to beside Wally. Someone who she has an actual personal connection with and not just Wally's friend that she happens to know. So I'm really hoping we can get Hartley back to fill that spot.

Okay, you guys know how Wally's daughter Irey popped up in the 90's Flash comics (years before she was born in the comics) because she's a time traveler?
Well Linda is pregnant with their third child now, right? So what if one of the other time travelling speedsters that we've already met is that third child?
I see two possible contenders:
Tumblr media
This random speedster who Irey time travelled to and recruited whose backstory was never explained beyond being an Allen or West descendant. (Don't let the yellow hair fool you, that's supposed to be red. Just look at Irey's hair.) Yeah, we assume she's a distant descendant that Irey found randomly but it's possible she knew her personally and sought her out on purpose (like Wally did with Fox).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And speaking of Fox, it'd need a little bit of explaining, but John Fox already is confirmed to be Wally's descendant so what if he's a lot closer related than we all originally thought? Again, explanations would be needed because Fox is also Kyle's descendant so??? Idk. Also he kissed Linda and that's weird but it was already weird because he's her descendant too. (tbf he didn't know that when he kissed her)
