Flash Thompson (Eugene “Flash” Thompson)
Eugene “Flash”Thompson is a supporting character in Marvel Comics’s Spider-Man series. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, he first appeared in Amazing Fantasy #15 (August 1962).
Flash was a star high school football player and classmate of Peter Parker, (secretly the superhero Spider-Man) who mercilessly bullied “Puny Parker.” Ironically, Flash greatly admired Spider-Man.
After graduation, Flash joined the United States Army and has been haunted by his combat experiences, leading to alcoholism. Flash has matured and developed a friendship with Peter.
Flash Thompson has appeared in several other media adaptations of Spider-Man, usually in his earlier bullying incarnation.
