    Flash Thompson

    Character » Flash Thompson appears in 1920 issues.

    Flash frequently bullied Peter Parker but was actually Spider-Man's greatest fan. In time, Flash befriended Peter, became a decorated war hero, and eventually joined the Marvel superheroes as a symbiote host, first with Venom and then with Anti-Venom.

    What kind of Hero is Flash Thompson ?

    He starts off willing to kill but then transitions into avoiding it.

    he's kind of a mix between spider-man and batman. spider-man because he uses the venom suit which gives him spider powers and he occasionally makes jokes and bad puns and is a bit extravagant when he wants to, batman because he uses the dark and fear to get to the bad guys. he kills when he needs to being that he was an ex soldier like captain america and punisher but he struggles to control his dark impulses due to his personal past and the natural aggression of the symbiote. it makes for a pretty interesting read. its one of my must buys every comic book wednesday

    I thought the symbiote regrue his limbs ? like it did foe U.S.Agent ?

    Only while he's in the suit. Out of it, he still needs a wheelchair. Of course, if he changes the symbiote into his clothes (like Peter did when he first got the suit) then he can walk. But he prefers the chair.

    Hate the character, but I love how he looks. The logical part of my brain is screaming,"Why is he using guns? His fists do more damage!" but I guess someone thought it would be badass looking... and they were right. I hate how he's a corporal in the army too, how generic... Also, that is pretty damn low rank to have such a powerful weapon...

    His look was what made me pay attention to him in the first place, though I like the character very much too. An army corporal really is a bit of a low rank, but anyway.
