    • Trivia
      Tony Woodward is a comic book character who made his debut in Flash: Iron Heights (August 2001). He is a villain known as Girder who developed his powers after being thrown into a vat of molten metal for assaulting a female coworker. Unknowingly there was remnants of a S.T.A.R. Labs experimental liquid steel that attached to his body giving him incredible blunt force resistance and physical power.

    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Iris West: [on her blog; voice-over] To understand what I'm about to tell you, you need to do something first. You need to believe in the impossible. Can you do that? Good. Because all of us, we have forgotten what miracles look like, maybe because they haven't made much of an appearance lately. Our lives have become ordinary, but there's someone out there who is truly extraordinary. I don't know where you came from, I don't know your name, but I have seen you do the impossible to protect the city I love; so, for those of us who believe in you and what you're doing, I just want to say thank you.

    Tacky....
    Two things: with the knowledge that he can't match Tony, he still tries, instead of going at it the ways he knows work better.

    Also, why is iris wearing MOM JEANS?
