The Flash #214

In "The Gantlet of Super-Villains!", Flash [Barry Allen] faces a mind-bending challenge when Gorilla Grodd hijacks his body by switching places with a zoo gorilla, then unleashes a rogues' gallery of his greatest enemies—The Top, Captain Boomerang, Heat Wave, Pied Piper, Captain Cold, Mirror Master [Sam Scudder], and even the unlikely J. M. Leach (tailor)—in a twisted test of wills. With Solovar and Pola caught in the chaos, Barry must outthink not just his foes, but the very minds behind them, before Grodd seizes full control.

In "The Wasp," a disgraced inventor armed with mechanical wings and a deadly stinging syringe seeks revenge against two corrupt businessmen who betrayed him. As the web of greed and retribution tightens, the line between justice and madness blurs—until one final, fatal mistake seals his fate.

Johnny Quick and Tubby Watts stop by a Paul Bunyan festival, where a towering statue of the legendary lumberjack stands guard. When thieves strike the gate, Johnny channels the mythic spirit of Paul Bunyan—using sheer speed and clever stunts reminiscent of the giant’s legendary feats—to outwit the crooks and bring them to justice.

In "The Flaming Doom!", the Metal Men—Platinum, Gold, Lead, Iron, Mercury, and Tin—face a monstrous, otherworldly manta creature threatening the coast, its eyebeams scorching everything in its path. With Colonel Henry Caspar urging caution and Dr. Will Magnus rallying the team, the heroes use every trick in their arsenal: Gold’s stretch, Iron’s strength, Mercury’s flight, Platinum’s web-spinning, and Lead’s shielding, all pushing to stop the beast before it’s too late. But victory comes at a cost, and as the creature falls, so do the Metal Men—leaving only their models behind in Dr. Magnus’s hands.
