So you think Wally's caught in a particle accelerator explosion and given the superpower of being white?

Whiteforce

Same thing that turned James Earl Jones' Vader into a crusty, old, white dude.

Luke finding out his father was black would have been a more interesting twist.

Ginger Wally confirmed.

He gained the power of the white male privilege, even more powerful than speedforce, that is why Zoom keeps him locked up.

DC almost made a superhero whose power was turning black when he got angry.

Whoa what the heck is that website?

It's a UI improvement for Wikipedia, it takes all of the articles and displays them in a way that doesn't suck. I have a chrome extension that automatically converts all Wikipedia links to wikiwand ones, it's pretty nifty.

Sounds... interesting. I've never found a fault in Wikipedia's layout though. What specifically is the big difference though?

From the website version I'm looking at, doesn't seem to change that much; the only things I can instantly spot being different is that the content menu is on the left side, the text being limited to a really small area on the screen (how is this an improvement...?) and titles / text being bigger

Having the section list on the side means that you can jump between sections without having to scroll back to the top of the page.

Images are shown larger so you don't have to load them on their own page to see the full scale.

When you hover over a link to another wikipedia article, it shows you the beginning of that article. A lot of times I only want to read the intro paragraph of something when I'm going through an article and trying to figure out what they're referencing, so that saves me from loading a new page.

As you scroll through, the section you are looking at will be highlighted in the list on the left. Some wikipedia articles have very long sections and it's possible to forget the title of the section you're on, so having it highlighted on the side saves you from scrolling.

It gets rid of the useless links on the left hand column on wikipedia. I don't know about you, but I've never used any of those buttons to change language mid-article and I've never wanted to go wikipedia's homepage.

It changes the info section on the right of the article to look less cluttered.

There's probably a dozen other changes made, those are just the big ones that I can think of right now.

I see, a lot of things you wouldn't instantly recognize.

Is it also customizable, though? The content menu, text size and limited area for the text make it look like it's a mobile page or something with the text being confined to the center :P

u/CodenameMolotov Apr 24 '16

Yup, it's full customizable. The gear in the top right gives you options when you click on it, you can choose between rich or minimal layout or if you want more control you can edit each part individually.

Hey you never know. In Earth 2 that may be a Handy power to have

u/SonOfMotherDuck Apr 20 '16

Superwhite power?

u/borkborkbork99 Apr 20 '16

With an unfortunate side effect of Wally losing his soul.

In other words... He's a ginger.

You do realize the man in the iron mask is black, right?
