Category:The Turtle

The first Turtle makes his debut in All-Flash #21 against Jay Garrick, the Golden Age Flash. The Turtle was a slow-talking, slow moving criminal who decided that, ironically, moving slowly was the way to cope with the super-speed of the Flash. The Turtle believed that the Flash was unable to slow down, turn or stop quickly once he was running at super-speed. He tried to take advantage of this presumed liability in committing his crimes. Nonetheless, the Flash succeeded in capturing the Turtle. Later, the Turtle adopted a turtle-like costume which he wore when battling the Flash. (1)
