QUOTE
”You from the CB Fan Club? Want an autograph too? Hang on, think I’ve got a price list on me… Wait, where are ya goin’?!”
FROM THE FILES OF LEX LUTHOR:
Captain Boomerang has fashioned an identity as a themed supervillain enjoying a storied rivalry with The Flash. In fact, over 100 hours of Arkham therapy footage, Harkness has mentioned this rivalry an average of 15 times per hour. However, scrubbing through hours of Hall of Justice security footage, “Captain Boomerang” is mentioned exactly once. Followed by “who”.
He is an irritant with delusions of grandeur and appropriative weaponry. Still. A chaotic dimwit who can tap into the Speed Force may have his uses yet…
Speed Force
Captain Boomerang can throw a boomerang ahead to Speed Force to its location.
The Speed Force allows Captain Boomerang to move to surfaces and negative space with speed and precision.
Speed Force into the air and Captain Boomerang can perform a follow-up, shorter Speed Force move.
(Hold) –Speed Force (hold duration increases distance)
Speed Force Dash
Captain Boomerang can perform shorter Speed Force moves using Speed Force Dash.
Speed Force Dash can be performed in sequence and in multiple directions.
Captain Boomerang can perform up to 3 Speed Force Dashes in the air before needing to touch down on a surface to replenish.

Speed Force Sprint
When using Speed Force to a surface, Captain Boomerang can continue his momentum with Speed Force Sprint.
This is a temporary high speed boost that triggers a large jump if Captain Boomerang runs over a ledge.
While using Speed Force Sprint on the ground, run into a wall to continue to Speed Force Wall Climb.

+ –Speed Force Wall Climb (when near wall)
Speedster's Surprise
Captain Boomerang can utilize the Speed Force to attack multiple enemies using Speedster’s Surprise.
Captain Boomerang will rapidly travel between multiple targets, damaging them as he goes.
After completing the attack Captain Boomerang will return to his starting location, allowing him to give enemies the slip.
