Lines: 33 From: Mike CiaraldiI suppose everyone knows that Barry and Iris Allen are reunited in the 30th Century in Flash #350. (if not, that's what the "Spoiler Warning" is for!). One of the potential continuity problems I mentioned many months ago is that it was established a long time ago that in the 30th Century (in the timeline of the Legion of SuperHeroes), there are two speedsters called The Tornado Twins who are descendants of Barry Allen. I remember wondering when I first heard this that it seemed strange that something like chemically-induced super speed could be inheritable over a span of 1000 years. Anyway, a few years ago, when Iris seemed to have died, someone wrote in about this, and the letter-column reply was that Barry would presumably remarry some day. Well, it occurs to me that if Barry and Iris are now living in the 30th Century, they could have children who could turn out to be the Tornado Twins, or possibly B and I could be the grandparents of the Twins. It seems to hang together nicely. The only thing that is still bothering me is that I remember someone else saying that the future that Iris came from and the future of the LSH are not in the same timeline. Does any know if this is established, or why this is supposed to be true? Of course, if CRISIS winds up merging the timelines, that could fix everything up. Mike Ciaraldi seismo!rochester!ciaraldi
