My Primary Focus · 7:51pm Mar 20th, 2017
Greetings Gotham, Joker here! Well, I must say, compared to the usual response on my Displaced stories, You Can't Lock Up The Darkness is going rather well. Which means...
Anyways, I couldn't help but notice that more than a few people have doubts about me actually finishing the story. Well, I can honestly say that I see where they're coming from. Which is why from here on out, my primary focus will be on You Can't Lock Up The Darkness and Godspeed! Nothing else will get in my way.
Speaking of those stories, they will indeed be connected and they will crossover at some point in the future. Also, here's Zoom's roster of villains, some of which he'll share with Godspeed. I just don't know who yet.
Villains
Captain Cold and the Rogues: Starlight Glimmer as Captain Cold, Sun Burst as Heat Wave, and Aria Blaze (who's Starlight's sister and a pony because alternate timeline and they look really similar) as Gilded Glider.
The Mist: Zephyr.
Savitar: (don't want to spoil anything just yet.)
Dr. Alchemy: (again, spoilers)
Weather Wizard: Flim and Flam who created a ‘wand,' that can summon minor to huge storms that allow them to rob banks easily.
Multiplex: A mare who was experimented on and made into a being who can multiply. Now she seeks revenge against those who hurt her…. She also feels a kindred spirit in Zoom. Most likely an OC.
Pied Piper: Vinyl Scratch (she blames Zoom for the loss of her voice, so she creates a device that allows her to speak, in addition to the sound gauntlets.
Killer Frost: Rarity was a geneticist that sought a way to preserve others, more specifically her husband, Trenderhoof (that was his name, right?) Then the company that funded her research pulled the plug and caused an accident that mixed her DNA with pure ice, and as a result, desperately seeks sources of warmth to make herself normal again, if only temporarily. This results in her taking lives to keep warm and "thaw the ice in her veins." When my version of Firestorm shows up, you can bet that she'll be following her around and never miss a chance to face her in combat. So, she's basically Mr. Freeze fused with the Comic Book Catalin Snow.
Wade Eiling: MISGUIDED Shining Armor who simply is looking out for Equestria. Not knowing his actions are doing more harm than good.
The Reverse-Flash: Zoom gets the Daniel West version while Godspeed gets the Harrison Wells/Eobard Thawne version. Both are the real deals and both arrive in their respective Equestrias via superspeed.
Villains I Need Help With
Sand Demon
Atom Smasher
Dr. Light
The Turtle
Girder
Blackout
Grodd
Allies
???/Velocity: Can't tell you this character's origins without spoiling who Savitar is, but suffice it to say that they're Zoom's Kid Flash/sidekick
Twilight Sparkle: She's a sort of Jim Gordon character alongside her boyfriend and partner, Spike.
The Rival: Rainbow Dash, because of course that's what she'd see Zoom as, especially after finding out he's faster than she is. Then, she gets a Speed Force connection, allowing her to truly become Zoom's rival. Think of her as the Shadow the Hedgehog to Zoom's Sonic. Best comparison I can think of.
Pinkamena Pie/Reverb: While she's a bit more serious than her show counterpart, Pinkamena maintains her Pinkie abilities, although she's not quite sure how or why she can do them or how they work. Little does she know that her "Pinkie Sense" is just the beginning of her abilities, and once she's gained full mastery of her powers, she becomes Reverb, a faithful ally of Zoom. (I can totally see this happening, even within the show itself. Can't you?)
Sunset Shimmer/Princess Celestia/Firestorm: Sunset was working on the Firestorm Matrix as a government-funded project to beef up the Equestria Military, so they could defend themselves against the threats that were popping up in Baltimare. However, the demonstration goes horribly wrong. As a result of both the Matrix going haywire and their combined magic, Sunset and Celestia fuse together to become Firestorm. Like in The Flash TV Show, Firestorm picked the strongest parts of its two halves, meaning that Princess Celestia's mind is in control of Sunset's body, which is now that of an alicorn, and magical abilities, which of course have been drastically amped up thanks to Celestia's own magical prowess, but their initial union is unstable. Unlike The Flash TV Show, however, both Celestia and Sunset recognize that they'd need each other until they figure out a way to fix this. Also, during this time, Celestia is presumed dead, leaving Luna the ruler of Equestria, and she's actually pretty good at it too. Although, the Luna of this timeline never became Nightmare Moon, so there's that.
Moondancer: She's the Catalin Snow for Zoom, and she helps create that splicer thingy for Firestorm, allowing them to fuse and separate at will.
And that's all I've got so far. I could use the help in coming up with the aforementioned villains, but apart from that, I think I've got a decent cast put together.
That is all. Stay perky.
This is remarkably well thought out. I'm excited to see where this is taken, and will The Rival's suit look like the molten-lava-CW-Flash version or like the one used by the original The Rival of Earth 2 Flash, Jay Garrick? Personally I'd go with Earth 2 The Rival because it's made to look like Jay Garrick's costume which, itself, is modeled after the Roman God of Speed, Mercury.

Actually, I kinda like the CW one.
4466122 But why should the fastest Pony alive want something as slow, and fast cooling as lava? Rainbow Dash would settle for nothing less than the best. Obviously she'd go for a God of Speed motif because of her ego. Don't you think?
