Wasn't a big fan of Guice's run on Flash...

Levantine: "Why does this sound like a character Grant Morrison would have invented?"

True. I think Jack Kirby could also have come out with someone like Chunk.

Top character! Great choice!

That's all I have to say. (except for the fact that that was all I had to say)

Sorry but no one can draw a morbidly obese person like Sienkiewicz

That line-up can't seem any more forced and self indulgent than Meltzer's. Take that, New York Time's Bestselling author!

Chunk is a member of my imaginary JLA.

"Given how piss-poor The Flash has been and how kill-happy DC has been lately, Iâ€™m kind of glad Chesterâ€™s stuck in limbo, even though heâ€™s brimming with potential (and who knows what else). You could do an entire arc in and around his digestive system. "

Maybe limbo is stuck in Chunk.

Guice had a lot of weird anatomy going on during his Flash run.... that's actually the thing i remember it best for.

on the cover at the top, that's gotta be the weirdest pose i've ever seen in a comic on anyone not splattered at the bottom of a tall building.

Is Chunk a commentary on obesity in America? I don't know, but his power is pretty damn bizarre and just as cool. Given how piss-poor The Flash has been and how kill-happy DC has been lately, I'm kind of glad Chester's stuck in limbo, even though he's brimming with potential (and who knows what else). You could do an entire arc in and around his digestive system.

Actually, Chunk was pretty prominent throughout William Messner-Loebs's (ridiculously underrated) run on the book. True, by the end, he was reduced to whining about Wally never having time for him, but for a couple of years he was genuinely Wally's best friend.

And he got that great romance subplot with Connie, which was nice.
