Welcome back nerd squad, my name is Roya Destroyaa and this is Top 10 Nerd.
Part time detective, part time serial killer, August Heart has a twisted sense of wrong
and right that has come from tragedy.
This has led him to being at odds with the Flash many times, despite being one of his
close friends.
So letÕs take a look at the top 10 GODSPEED SHOCKING FACTS.
In the number 10 spot, HE WAS THE ONLY WITNESS TO THE FLASHÕS ORIGIN.
As Barry allenÕs detective partner, August Heart was the only person to witness the lightening
bolt that struck while Barry was working.
That means witnessing the man who would become the flash being coated in electrified chemicals
after they were hit by a lightening bolt.
You could say it was quite the shocking experience.
Coming in at number 9 IS HIS FIRST REAL APPEARANCE.
Although were are formally introduced to Godspeed in The flash #3, it was a month earlier that
we actually saw him for the first time.
He made a cameo appearance in a vision that Barry had.
And in it, he exclaimed that he was going to Òkill them allÓ.
We may not have understood back then, but we sure as hell do now.
Next, at number 8 IS HOW HE POWERS HIMSELF.
ItÕs not just the speed force that powers Godspeed.
He is able to literally feed off the speed force of other speedtsers.
In order to maximize his strength, he absorbs the speed force from those around him, effectively
killing them in the process if they donÕt offer their speedforce up to him willingly.
This does cause him a fair amount of pain, but who cares when we go over the next fact!
In the number 7 spot, HE IS FASTER THAN THE FLASH.
Because of all the extra juice he is powering himself with, Godspeed is even faster than
Barry Allen.
He is so fast that he can be in two places at once, effectively cloning himself.
The only way for Barry to put a stop to him was to ask the rest of the surviving speedsters
if they would lend their speed force to him.
Like I said before, this willingness wouldnÕt leave them dead.
Eveybody wins!
Coming in at number 6 we got HIS WEAKNESS.
As I alluded to before, this shady absorption work takes its toll on Godspeed, which is
probably the only saving grace that the heroes had when taking him down.
To absorb anotherÕs speedforce against their will causes him considerable pain.
And, along with that, using the speed to create clones of himself, speed scouts if you will,
also causes pain.
If he is too strained the clones will recombine and disappear.
Next up, at number 5, IS WHY HE IS THE WAY HE IS.
So we understand heÕs a pretty big dick, but we have to consider what made him like
this.
Well, turns out that AugustÕs brother Jorge heart was killed in the line of duty, but
nobody ended up being convicted for his murder.
An extremely jaded August thought this was totally wrong of the justice system and, once
imbued with his own powers, decided to take matters into his own hands, so heÕs kind
of like the punisher.
Stopping crime, at any cost.
Up next at number 4, HE WAS TRAINED BY BARRY.
Of course, when August has his own incident, who better to turn to than already established
speedster and detective partner barry allen?
Things were actually quite nice for a while, the two could have made a great team.
If their sense of morality lined up, of course.
But August goes astray when he believes he can do a better job at stopping crime all
on his own.
Hence the committing of even more crimes!
In the number 3 spot, HE KILLED MEENA.
When a speed force storm reigned down over central city, several people were struck and
given the powers of the speedforce.
One of them was STAR labs scientist Meena Dhawan.
She became romantically involved with Barry, but sadly that romance was never set to continue.
Because good ol Godspeed got hungry for some speedforce.
To be fair, he wanted to try out taking her force without killing her.
But we donÕt always get what we want now do we?
Coming in at number 2, HE ALMOST KILLED EOBARD (ee-o-bard) THAWNE.
Godspeed is such a nice guy clearly, that he offered to do what the flash never could:
that is, kill his enemies.
One of which most prominently being Eobard Thawne, professor zoom.
Thawne was incarcerated at Iron Heights and Godspeed had a plan to infiltrate the prison
and kill all the criminals in it.
He is stopped, thankfully.
We all know thawne deserves to be in prison, but to kill him after his history would feel
kinda wrong.
And finally, in the number 1 spot, HE KILLED THE WRONG SUSPECT.
After all this time of tracking down the suspect he believes was responsible for his brotherÕs
death, Godspeed kills the main suspect, Billy Parks.
But it is later revealed that this was not the man who killed Jorge, the murderer is
still out there and August is behind bars.
So despite all his jerk behaviour, he actually does feel kinda bad about this one.
So those were the top 10 FACTS ABOUT GODSPEED.
