Flashback (Gardner Monroe) is a fictional mutant character in the Marvel Comics Universe. His first appearance was in Alpha Flight (1st series) #1.

[edit] Character history

Flashback was once a member of Beta Flight who was then recruited by Jerry Jaxon into Omega Flight, a team put together to gain revenge on James MacDonald Hudson, Alpha Flight.

During Alpha Flight's second encounter with Omega Flight, one of Flashback's duplicates was killed by Box I after Delphine Courtney used it as a shield against the attack. It was not long after that time caught up with Flashback and he became the future self that was killed, resulting in his death.

[edit] Powers

He was a mutant with the psionic ability to cause temporal counterparts of himself from alternate future timelines to appear in the present and to control them. Each duplicate appeared in a reverse-colour version of the original Flashback's costume. These counterparts vanished whenever Flashback was rendered unconscious.
