Because I'm trying to finish up Thad's comprehensive bio on my blog this thought came to mind:
I think the most bananas wild thing (and one of the most interesting things) Thad ever tried do in comics was try to make Wally think Bart's death was his fault.
Specifically, by saying that it was his fault that Bart lost his speed and that's why he died. He tries to make him think that it was Wally's return that triggered Bart to lose his speed during the crucial moment when he was fighting for his life against Thad and the Flash Rogues. In actuality, it was all Thad's fault that Bart lost his speed and Thad knows that even while telling all this to Wally.
But even after killing Bart, even after Wally finds out Bart is dead and is actively grieving and mourning his cousin's death, Thad still tries to dig the knife a deeper into Wally, and tries to pin Bart's death on him instead!
Comic: All-Flash
Like that is such a wild and ballsy move on Thad's part when he knows he's completely helpless in Wally's literal grip. Like Wally is using him as a battering ram (as seen here where he runs Thad's body through a train), he has as stolen Thad's speed from him, and is literally threatening to kill him in this moment. But STILL Thad calls Bart, a 'bitch' to his face!!! (Specifically he tells him he "screamed like a little bitch" but the implication is there.)
Thad does this all because he has absolutely nothing to lose now. Sure there's his life, but he was willing to risk dying when he fought Bart, and is clearly willing to do it again with how he keeps taunting and hurting Wally, when he is so willing and ready to kill him.
Thad is just so fucking messy and vindictive in this comic that it is amazing and so fascinating!
Actually in retrospect, all of All-Flash is wild when you look at Thad closely in the single-issue comic. It's wild yet so good and so interesting.
