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.
