Impulse #51(Aug. 1999)

Here it is, the first full appearance of the vastly underrated Inertia.

  1. Looks like Inertia had a hell of an overbite, I'm clamoring for a huge 6-man tag, Red Robin, Superboy and Kid Flash vs. Jason Todd, Superboy Prime and Inertia. Comic Gold X-Man, Gold I says.

  2. Yeah I looked at the pic and was like, "What the hell's wrong with his teeth???".

    I have to say, Jason, Prime and Inertia would wipe the floor with the heroes... That's if Prime and Inertia could work together. I can see Inertia trying to boss Prime around and Prime just doing his own thing.

  3. I agree, They'd dominate until the heroes re-gathered, because I can see Jason manipulating Inertia and Prime to work with him, but considering Prime fears Kid Flash, I know Tim would take on Jason himself, send Kid Flash after Prime and have Superboy go after Inertia.

  4. Hey, with Prime's fear of Kid Flash/speedsters, maybe he wouldn't even work with Inertia, Inertia is a clone of Bart after all.

  5. True, and Prime's so stupid he wouldn't even listen to HIMSELF, although him talking about his beard was cool. If someone could control him and his short attention span Prime would be ruler of the universe...after he killed his controller or course.

  6. That part of Lo3W was absolutely frigging hilarious! I couldn't stop laughing when the Time Trapper was trying to reason with Prime until he finally gave up and quietly said to himself, "I couldn't have been THIS dumb!".

  7. Lol, that and the line where he's like "I would NEVER grow a stupid beard like that." Also I loved Inertia's lines at the beginning of Issue 4 about how he's like Boo and Prime's all like oh no!! That was another win in my book for Bart Allen.

  8. I miss Inertia ! the Dezaggo, version in Impulse was calculating , devious , meticulous & always selects his victim with precision. I love what drives Thaddeus: he seeks attention & caring but he hides from everyone, the scene where Bart litterally tells that he'd die for Max was just beautiful with Thaddeus falling on his knees seeing that for all his genius his life was hollow.
    You know what would be in character for Inertia?
    putting Impulse & the flashes to shame with several machinations & then acting as the new superhero in town to spite the flashes & inflate his ego, having then what he wants: the flashes became useless & he is crowned superhero!then he'll make the justice league has-been ! He'll be the only hero on earth! mwaahahaaahahahaha! this is so despicable it hurts ! they don't call him Thaddeus for nothing!

    Instead we got kid zoom! I already hate Kid fucking flash for being bland .Kid zoom doesn't have any of the soul or uniqueness Inertia had, I mean yep just another killer because Johns doesn't care about the soul of the character! we already had murmur for that!

    (yes as you see I loathe the Titans! Down with them ! Young Justice all the way bayabay!)

  9. "I loathe the Titans! Down with them ! Young Justice all the way" I can't agree with that more. It was Young Justice that got me into DC comics, so I'll always have a special place in my heart for nthat team. And I don't mean that horrible cartoon that claims to be "Young Justice" Because that sure as HELL isn't MY Young Justice. There were so many ways they could have gone with Inertia, he was never the lackey-type he became in Teen Titans, he was always THE mastermind! That's what bugged me about when he was on Slade's Titans East team. Inertia should have been trying to usurper control of that team from the start! Instead, he's just another c-list villain in Chairman Johns world, who's easily expendable... And THAT sucks.
