Ted McGinley: Tom Turbine

Quotes 

• Tom Turbine : I suppose you haven't heard, but in Seaboard City, crime doesn't pay.

  [his fists surge with energy as he jumps down in front of The Flash and Green Lantern] 

  The Flash : Hey, you got the wrong...

  [Tom Turbine punches him square in the face] 

  The Flash : Ugh!

  [he flies a short distance back and flops on the ground] 

• Tom Turbine : I have a theory on how you came to be here. As an expert in nuclear physics, I have long hypothesized that there are an infinite number of parallel dimensions, each containing its own planet Earth. Each Earth occupies the same location in space but vibrates at a different speed. Flash, the energy blast you absorbed caused you to match the vibration rate of our Earth.

  J'onn J'onzz : So he created a tear in the dimensional barriers, which brought us here.

  The Flash : [indignantly]  Hey, it was an accident, okay?

  Green Lantern : But this still doesn't explain the Justice Guild comics I read when I was a kid.

  J'onn J'onzz : Perhaps the creators of those comics had a subconscious link to this Earth. What they thought was merely imagination was a psychic memory of the Justice Guild's real exploits.

  Tom Turbine : I couldn't have put it better myself.

  Hawkgirl : Fascinating. But how do we get back to our world?

  Tom Turbine : [unveiling it from beneath a tarp]  I've been tinkering with a prototype trans-dimensional gateway.

  The Flash : Cool. How does it work?

  Tom Turbine : Unfortunately, I haven't been able to harness a suitable energy source to power it.

  Hawkgirl : I guess you're going to be stuck with us for a while.
