Has Synapse been playing for the other side?

So i picked up marvel zombies the other day and was happily on my second read through when i noticed some one who looks a fair bit like Synapse

Panel from Marvel Zombies

and for conparison

synapse

So have marvel been a bit naughty and borrowed the look of Paragons own speedster or is it a marvel character that just happens to look similar.

*edit cause images don't work here

It's always nice to flex my comic-book knowledge-y muscle:

That, is 'Speed Demon' - a Marvel speedster (in the picture you linked, he is the central one, with Quicksilver on the left and the Whizzer on the right).

Speed Demon was recently a member of the New Thunderbolts, a reformed villain who once worethe guise of the Whizzer, but as a villain, and not the classic hero.

Just shudders at Marvel Zombies and wishes Robert Kirkman joined them

Synapse clocks on for duty one day to find himself genericised

Would it be wrong to petition him? they changed bastion after all to citadel

---

It is in fact your moral duty to do so, to keep lawsuits from the game and protect it from the evil lawyers

"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"

May I be the first to suggest a furrie redux?, stick some teddy bear ears and a tail on him and rename him 'Greased Weasel'.

---

I could go with that, he'd have to make Jay put a furrie costume in for him which should bring some laughter to their office anyway

In all fairness, many super-powered speedsters have similar outfits. A simple spandex bodysuit, slim boots, and in many cases (apart from DC's The Flash and Marvel's Quicksilver) Goggles. It's a 'speedster' thing - if you're running that fast, you don't want bugs in your eyes.

Tbh, Synapse simply follows the 'speedster' design. His colouring is different, as is his cheast logo. His electrical powers differ to many speedters, too, who usually *just* have speed powers.

I think Synapse is safe.
