Bring on the Bad Guys: The Olimpans

Real names: Zus, Po-Siden, and Boryas

First appearance: The Flash I#113 2/2 (June/July 1960)

Abilities: God like control over elements

Worst act: Attempted colonizing of the Earth

Quote:  "Yes! In quadrangle three...but visible on our atoscope! However, some of you seem to have forgotten the importance of the lost planet in our history--"

Created by: John Bromme (script), Carmine Infantino (pencils), Joe Giella (inks)


We see the return of Dr. Summers! He asks Iris to help him in his research, so naturally Barry goes to keep an eye on them. 

And what is his research? A strange metal, which turns out to come from space!

Oh, and humans are descended from aliens who happen to resemble the Greek gods. You'd think Wonder Woman could refute that, but no one bothers to call her. 

Zus, when he learns that the colony ship survived, figures that he owns the Earth so he sends Po-Siden to Earth to make it ready. Barry manages to drive him and thus convince Zus to recognize the Earth's independence.

Again, you would think this would be a bigger deal.

Not horrible
