Grand Theft Auto mods have a history of being completely outside the box (and occasionally incredibly inappopriate), but the latest mod for Grand Theft Auto V is nothing but cool. At least, if you're a comic book movie fan. The mod (well, really, it's two mods) allows the player to become either the Flash or the Reverse Flash. Specifically, the way the characters look on the CW's The Flash series.
The mod allows characters to run like the Flash- kind of. Characters have enhanced speed and can jump higher, and have the ability to turn on superspeed. In the mod, superspeed is a rocket blast that gives either superhero an enormous push forward (and because this is a GTA mod, the rocket blast comes out of the Flash's rear end. Or the Reverse-Flash's, either way).
The modding community has lost its mind ever since Grand Theft Auto V was announced for PC- mods have sprung up everywhere since the game was available on a much more easily-moddable platform. And the Flash and the Reverse-Flash aren't the only superheroes in the game- as well, another mod can transform the player into Superman.
Superman's a little bizarre-looking in the mod (to create a Superman face, the mod combines the faces of all three main characters- Franklin, Michael and Trevor). However, he can still fly, he's got his classic costume and the mod even gives him that iconic spit-curl in his hair.
Recent rumors for the next outing of Grand Theft Auto have claimed the game will star Ryan Gosling and be set in the 1980s, like the ever-popular Grand Theft Auto: VIce City. Will those rumors end up being true? Will a Grand Theft Auto game ever take place outside the (fictional) United States?
Eventually these questions will be answered, but until then GTA fans will have to keep playing around at super-speed.
