It was a dark and lonely day, and I was bored. Also, I initially thought it was the movie for "Feedback" the first winner of "Who Wants To Be A Superhero".

THIS MOVIE WAS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. He made his costume out of crap from "Sport Authority", a ice skater suit or something and the shoes were wrestling shoes and some Blu-Blockers.

The one great thing about this movie, is that I was recently telling my coworkers about this movie. We were talking about Stan Lee Flicks... and now I have proof to back up

Agents comics who would age rapidly the more he used his super-speed suit?

It seems like they would have to actually make an effort to be topped by a nearly 20 year old TV show.

I'd say it was like Power Rangers, but the camera work was worse, the plot was harder to follow, and there were no flashy movie martial arts to class the place up.

The winner of that show gets to star in a Sci-Fi channel original movie and gets a short-lived comic about their own character, yeah?

I was under the impression that he would be getting his own movie (much like Lightspeed).

¹ Don't blink or you will miss him.

Leave Charlie alone!

Stan Lee never created the Flash.

But he did create Quicksilver.

First appearance was 'Flash Comics' #1 in 1940.

And 1:09 of that was due solely to the fact that Jason Connery as Robin Hood played such a large part in my pre-teen development as a girl.
