When method acting goes wrong...
The Flash goes Hollywood, providing technical assistance on a film about his life. Good thing he's there, as a series of accidents seem targeted at the Flash's actor, Steve Palmer.
The Flash agrees to stand in for Palmer during shooting, so he can ferret out who's trying to bump him off. Turns out, it was Palmer all along!
Yeah, Palmer plans to kill the Flash so he can replace him and use his identity. Which seems a bit short sighted, as there is nothing to suggest Palmer could handle a terrorist gorilla on his own.
Man, what is it about Flash actors going crazy?
Darn silly but it works on its own merits. This might be the most short-sighted plan I've seen in comics though.
