I started readin the Flash in the lat 70;s and early 80s and BOY that was a trip.

Like that time Barry's father was in a car crash and technically died on the scene, and before he was revived his body was possessed by the ghost of the deceased super-villain, The Top.

He then spent some months getting close to Barry in that guise, whilst secretly plotting with his former lover, the Golden Glider (Captain Cold's sister, and a psychopathic ice skater who used a range of lethally gimmicked "gems" and skates which generated their own own ice so she could skate through the air) to kill Barry and then possess HIS body...

And that's not mentioning the time the Police Chief at Barry's station realised he could channel "excess" power from his pacemaker into his body, giving him superhuman strength and endurance as "Captain Incredible"
