If the Golden Glider had debuted in the Silver Age (and/or an untold Silver Age story from the time before Lisa became the Golden Glider). The story would play off of Silver Age Captain Cold’s habit of romancing various pretty women. When Lisa “Star” arrived in Central City to perform with her professional skating company, she would disappear not long after Captain Cold escaped from prison. The Flash (Barry) would naturally assume that Captain Cold had fallen in love with her and had kidnapped her. In reality, of course, Captain Cold is Lisa’s brother. He had broken out of prison to secretly send her some gifts and ended up having to rescue her from a different group of criminals, who had actually done the kidnapping.Once Cold saved his sister, the two siblings would go to Cold’s latest hideout, Cold would give his sister his gifts…and then the Flash would show up. (Lisa might or might not know about her brother’s career as Captain Cold at this point. If she doesn’t already know, this story would have her find out.) When Flash announces that he’s there to rescue her, Lisa would ask Flash why she would need to be rescued from “Lenny”. After all, they love each other. Flash, still under the impression that she’s Cold’s latest crush, would be surprised and ask her what on Earth she sees in him, at which point Lisa would reply that it would be strange if she didn’t love her own brother–especially after he rescued her from the thugs who kidnapped her. After doing some super-speed research, Barry discovers that she’s telling the truth about Cold being her brother and about him rescuing her from the actual kidnappers. However, Captain Cold is still a wanted man, so Barry has to take him back to prison. He’s expecting a fight, but, much to his surprise, Cold actually surrenders…but makes it clear that he’s only doing so because he doesn’t want his sister to get hurt. He also asks Barry to keep Lisa’s relationship with him a secret in order to protect her career, which Barry agrees to do. Barry takes both Cold and the kidnappers to jail and he and Iris have a cute couple moment. The issue ends in Lisa’s apartment…with the reveal that Lisa is on a date with the Top! -- source link
