Absolute Flash #3 is spectacular and confirms almost everything I hoped.

I discuss reveals here. Maybe don't read this post unless you've read the preceding issues. It's worth your time, go enjoy it first.

A resounding "fuck yes" to everything about Absolute Grodd, just top to bottom, no notes.

I SO wanted Wally and Grodd to become friends, and now they are a team! Let's discuss the reverse elephant in the room.

Thawn is a red herring, only there to add some uncertainty to what is up with Barry. Lets be honest, What's up with Barry is as close to a confirmation as you can get about Barry being reverse flash without actually confirming it.

But there's still a hairsbreadth worth of room for Rudy to still become the threat, we can't be 100% sure yet. So I'm only 99% sure Barry is reverse flash.

Loving this run so far. Now there's two adorable blorbo babies teamed up together, Wally and Grodd. Please don't hurt them they're so tiny.

Absolute Flash #4 Preview

Oh man I'm so excited

That foreshadows Absolute Grodd right?

That could BE absolute Grodd & if it's not, it foreshadows Grodd. Grodd was one of Barry's experiments. Grodd is gonna have a Starro head.

Wally in absolute flash universe: god, I wish I had friends... *sigh in military brat loneness*

DC: oh, you want a monkey?

Wally: er, well... Not really?

DC: a green monkey?

Wally: green? Why is it green?

DC: green monkey it is here you go, I know kids these days love green monkeys.

Wally, with Grodd: nobody listens to me... But better than nothing. So. Music. You like?

Gorilla Grodd

The villainous Grodd heralds from Gorilla City, a secluded citadel populated by super intelligent apes.  Therein Grodd was an unscrupulous scientist who built a special helmet that enabled him to control the minds of others. The Gorilla City security force stopped him from using it in the city, but he escaped capture and eventually wound up in Central City, where he ran afoul of Green Lantern and the Flash. Following a fierce battle, Grodd was seemingly rendered harmless after The Flash ‘crossed a few wires’ in his mind control helmet and tricked him into using it, electrifying the primate’s brain and rendering him comatose. 

Upon recovering, Grodd found that he no longer needed the helmet to control minds. This facilitated his escape from confinement and he began devising a plan to take down the Justice League.  This plan entailed recruiting a group of super villains, a ‘secret society’ whose abilities matched up well against The League.  Meanwhile, he used his mental powers to subtly and progressively turn the League against one another, make them irritated by and mistrusting of one another.  This had the effect of weakening the League, causing them to not work well as a team; thus giving the villains a sizable advantage in battle. Fortunately, the League were able to overcome this deficient and Grodd’s forces were defeated.     

Next Grodd formed the Legion of Doom, a conglomerate of super villains who worked in concert together so to better match the newly expanded Justice League.  Grodd insisted on recruiting Lex Luthor into the Legion, seeing him as too significant a variable not to be folded in; a decision that would prove to be Grodd’s downfall.  

Following a botched scheme that involved Grodd’s temporarily turning the earth’s human population into apes, Luthor succeeded in a coup d'etat and took over the Legion, imprisoning Grodd.  The gorilla’s one-time paramour, Tala, freed Grood and he staged an effort to seize back control of the Legion.  Yet he failed once more and Grodd perished in his battle against Luthor.  

Actor Powers Booth provided the voice for Gorilla Grodd, with the sinister simian first appearing in the twelfth episodes of the first seasons of Justice League, “The Brave and The Bold Part I.’
