Damn thats a great cover. I have high hopes that Vic's profile will be similarly raised once Flashpoint ends

I love the cover but am I the only one who feels this storyline of Cyborg being the ultimate American superhero is kinda forced?

Great cover. A symbol could push Vic towards the icon status.

How so? Especially considering its an alternate reality the circumstances behind it haven't even been revealed yet how can you say its forced. Originally Posted by raporfest

Why do you feel it's being forced? Originally Posted by raporfest

And in that version of reality, there were two dozen American colonies during the Revolution...

That is a fabulous cover. Almost awesome enough to make me reconsider NOT getting this.

Well honestly I've never thought of Cyborg as being a Superman like figure. Having him be that role even in an alternate reality seems very random. Wouldn't Captain Marvel make more sense as being the beacon of hope and all American Superman like figure in this reality now that Superman is no longer in that role.
This as well as many other things in Flashpoint just seem so random and tacked on like this is a fan fiction gone wild.Wonder Woman: Daugther of Myth

No because in no way does Captain Marvel suggest all American values. Originally Posted by raporfest
