A Southern Railway designed EMU, seen towards the end of its life, in August 1982.

This is Blackfriars. See the comment below for a translation of the headcode. Today Blackfriars is no longer a quiet backwater

Deathstorm flies out of the portal and flies straight into Firestorm knocking him to the ground.

 

MS: "How is he alive?!"

 

DS: "I can still hear you professor Stein. You might've casted me out of the matrix, but I'm still a part of it."

 

FS: "You should be dead. You disappeared from existence."

 

DS: "In this universe stranger things have occured."

 

Deathstorm blasts Firestorm down to the ground. Firestorm takes a shot but Deathstorm dodges the hit and sucker punches Firestorm. As Firestorm lies on the ground, Deathstorm leans over him. He grabs him by the head and he raises his hand.

 

DS: "Now professor, this will only feel strange and it might sting a little. Mister Raymond, this will hurt a lot."

 

Deathstorm puts his hand through Ronnie's torso as he screams in agony.

 

FS: "Professor! What's happening to me! AAAAH!"

 

MS: "Ronald! I don't know what's happening! Our link seems to be fading!"

 

FS: "Prof! I can't hear you! WHAT'S GOING ON?!"

 

As Ronnie screams some more, Deathstorm pulls Stein out of him and he seperates them.

 

FS: "AAAAAAHAAHHH!"

 

DS: "Told you this was gonna hurt. Now just a little more. This last part is always tricky."

 

FS: "AAAAHHH STOOOOP!"

 

As Deathstorm takes one last pull and completely seperates the two of them, dismantling Firestorm.

 

MS: "Wha- What just happened?"

 

DS: "It's very simple professor. I just seperated the two of you... and I stole your part of the matrix."

 

MS: "What?"

 

DS: "This way I'll survive, and you have no connection to the matrix anymore. You won't be able to merge with Raymond, Rusch, or anyone at all. You are no longer Firestorm."

 

MS: "No... It can't be..."

 

DS: "Hm. I would love to take your lives, but I just sensed something... A new matrix. I'm sorry gentlemen, but it's time for me to go."

 

Deathstorm opens another portal and disappears. Martin crawls over to Ronnie who lays there in shock.

 

RR: "Wait... We are no longer Firestorm?"

 

MS: "It seems so..."

 

RR: "No... It can't be!"

 

MS: "It is, Ronald. Deathstorm took my part of the matrix. We're not compatible anymore. Not to anyone."

 

RR: "But I am?"

 

MS: "I guess so."

 

RR: "What did Deathstorm say about another matrix? Is there another Firestorm?"

 

MS: "I honestly wouldn't know."

 

RR: "I need to find Deathstorm, before he hurts others."

 

MS: "You can't do anything without your powers."

 

RR: "There is someone else compatible..."

 

MS: "Jason Rusch."

 

RR: "Exactly. You go home professor. Rest. I'll go and meet with Jason."

 

MS: "I can't let you do this alone."

 

RR: "You have no choice. You aren't compatible anymore, there is nothing you can do in the field... I'm sorry, but go home. I'll keep you up to date."

 

MS: "Go to S.T.A.R. Labs, find Jason. I'll go home and find out how to stop Deathstorm, how he came back, and who that new matrix is."

Woah woah WOAH my dudes, some pretty important set photos from Avengers 4 have just leaked out and this is HUGE. As you can see by these photos, Ant-Man, Hulk, an old Tony Stark wearing a S.H.I.E.L.D. uniform, and Captain America with his Avengers 1 are up to something, but WHAT?!

 

Okay dudes here’s my theory, the end of Avengers: Infinity War’s going to be pretty fucking disastrous, Thanos has all the Infinity Stones and most of the heroes are killed except for a few, and one of those is ANT-MAN BABY!!! Now what I think is going on is since Ant-Man has access to the microverse and eventually the multiverse, which will apparently be shown in Ant-Man and the Wasp, Ant-Man is going to… get this… TRAVEL TO DIFFERENT UNIVERSES TO GATHER HEROES!!! He’ll get a Hulk, he’ll get an old Tony Stark who’s the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and a Captain America from some sort of timeline where he keeps the Avengers uniform! Now I believe Ant-Man’s already recruited these heroes because as you can see, they have these devices on their hands, that’s the ticket to travelling the multiverse, and Ant-Man’s has the only one implemented into his suit, therefore he is the one who has the most experience with these devices! My dudes I’m getting pretty hyped right now because if my theory checks out, then that means Ant-Man’s going to have a huge fucking presence in this movie and HE DESERVES IT!!!

 

Anyways, make sure to leave your theories in the comments below! Holy shit dude, I have not been so hyped for the MCU in a looooong time, we got Black Panther in a few weeks, Infinity War is close, ANT-MAN AND THE WASP is this year, Captain Marvel is next, then THIS!! What a time to be alive, and I’m just so filled with joy to see Ant-Man a huge part of these films!!!!

 

The last stand !

This is the third and final shot taken at Trillium Lake. This was three picture stitch taken 4 minutes prior to my mauve sky shot. If you look at the very lower corner of the sky, by the trees, you can see the sky starting to change mauve in color. On sunsets the sky changes very rapidly.We went there to take a shot of the Alpine glow, which is the first shot. This one would be the second taken and the mauve sky was after the sun completely disappeared.

=Somewhere Over the Atlantic Ocean=

 

Flannegan reaches into his pocket, offering Drury a paper bag of medication. "For the come down," he explains. Drury shakes his head in silence, and Flannegan empties the packet into his mouth.

 

"Shame. I liked her."

 

"You barely knew her..." Drury sighed.

 

"Know what I said..." Flannegan shrugs. "We need to get our story straight. Spontaneous combustion. That ought to do it."

Drury looks back in disgust, and returns to his phone.

 

"I'm not happy about it either! That limey, two-toned liver monkey escaped while I was mopping up people pieces. Your fault, by the way."

 

"Tell me something I don't know!" Drury yells.

 

...

 

"Your pal Chuck's at Ace Chemicals," Flannegan shrugs before going back to sleep and leaving Drury frustrated and very confused.

 

= ACE Chemicals=

 

It was all true. The bodies, the disappearances, it all led back here- ACE Chemicals. Of course it was ACE Chemicals... Always would be.

Smoke billowed from the enormous chimneys. Lights flickered on and off. He should have had it shut down years ago, he thought to himself.

The first sign came two weeks ago, a bird washed up on the coast, it's feathers bleached green, it's beak contorted into a sinister smile, and burnt.

 

We didn't connect it to the murders at first. I mean, we all thought it was *him,* it had all his signature flair... But deep down, I knew better... If Joker was up to something, he'd have announced it weeks ago on the evening news. No, this was different. All we needed to do was run a DNA test, identify it's species, and then that's when it all clicked into place. It was a crow...

 

He looks at the bodies on the ground- they're hard to miss. Strange, those are Crane's men...

 

"Don't worry about *them*... Wastes of time, the lot of them. Couldn't teach them anything, and their grades were atrocious," a voice whispers.

 

"Crane! I'm here!"

 

A yellow eye gleamed below him. Injured though he was, there was no mistaking Scarecrow's emotionless glare

 

Crane- Hello Batman. You know, I was rather hoping you'd show.

 

"Oh, you know Bats... shine a spotlight, and he'll glide right down," a raspy voice added.

 

Stepping out from the shadows, Crane stumbled into the light, smiling a toothy grin. The second voice spoke again, his red suit shining in the moonlight.

 

"Isn't that right, Bruce?"

 

Batman- Harvey... Where's Brown?

 

Dent laughs. "You're welcome to see him, if you like. It'd be my pleasure. But first, if you would-"

 

He points at the utility belt clasped around his waist. Bruce scowls, holding on tight.

 

"No matter," Crane smirks, as a yellow tentacle rips it from his grasp and throws it off the catwalk. "Please, we've been busy, and you- you'll be wondering what exactly we've cooked up, hmm? You'll know the laboratory quite well by now. This, is the fruits of our labour," he continues, taking a glass bottle from the laden shelves. "It has a long, drawn out, chemically accurate name, but we've taken to calling it Fearless.

 

"Brown, Crane."

 

"One moment, please. Just answer me this. What is the Batman without fear? Well?

He's but a man. And what does... *society* have to fear from an ordinary man? Two-Face?"

 

Two-Face- 'Pleasure. See, I reckon removing that fear factor you hide behind won't do you much good. They'll all see you for what you truly are, Bats- A kid playing dress up, a coward who hides his face! Because, the truth is, the truth you hide and deny, is that everyone- everyone, is just like me, ugly- inside and out. Thanks to Crane, the whole world'll know it. The criminals will have a vaccine against an "unstoppable" myth, but the ordinary citizens out there? They get something better. Their true nature exposed. Killers like us all!

 

Batman scoffs. "And you, Crane? How exactly are you going to maintain your shallow reputation? You're every bit the 'coward' I am.

 

"Don't condescend me Batman. Not here, not ever again. I need no longer *use* fear in my crimes, no, now I've mastered it."

 

Batman prepares a retort, but stops himself suddenly. "Me. You said "me" Harvey."

 

Two-Face laughs, running his hand through what's left of his hair. "Ha! You really don't get it, do you? The great detective, stumped for clues!"

 

"Get. What?" Batman demands, as Scarecrow's ring forms a gurney around him, strapping him down.

 

"Harvey's gone, Bats, couldn't you tell?"

 

=====Holding Cells=====

 

Once he's in, Gar immediately rips off his helmet and gasps for air. He'd entered through the waste duct, the same one The Red Hood had fallen through on one end, and emerged out the other. If he wasn't certain his suit was airtight, he would never have agreed to this.

It was almost funny. They'd counted on one thing: Scarecrow would never have thought anyone could be stupid or suicidal enough to break in this way. Chuck has to be near by, the pump room, now remodeled into Scarecrow's personal torture chamber, was the most secure place in the plant.

 

"Jesus." Gar stepped back, it was worse than he thought... Chuck *wasn't* the first. Far from it. He places his hand on the tape recorder and presses play, Scarecrow's drawl filling the room as he peers into each cell.

 

"Subject's name is Paul Dekker. Dekker is an... interesting specimen. He acts on impulse on a daily basis. He follows his hippie, free spirited mantra to the letter. The effects of Fearless are minimal, the man has no shame, and that's without the drug. If he will not desist with his displays of... affection with the other inmates, then, regrettably, termination may be required."

 

"Come and join the party Garfield! It's going to be a blast!" Dekker calls out, raising an imaginary glass to toast him.

 

"Subject's name is Mitchell Mayo. When I discovered Mayo, he was dying from kidney failure, an affect of the earthquake. We nursed back him to health, and he's been with us ever since. Mayo is one of our most successful subjects. Meek, and timid, the process has allowed him to emerge from his shell, louder and more confident than before. Could there be a place for something as laughable as the Condiment King in our new world order? With mustard gas, and hot sauce that burns like acid... there just might be."

 

Mayo rolls around in his cell, dirt covering his face and hands. "What's wrong, Firefly? Isn't this the part where you start laughing? Your kind, always quick to giggle!"

 

"Subject's name is Doctor Kirk Langstom. As a fellow scientist, I've always been a fan of Dr Langstom's work, it's all rather impressive. There's been many a time at Arkham where notes have been exchanged over the disgusting bowls of porridge served in the Asylum's canteen. Of course, the jewel of his research is his Man-Bat formula... Over the years, Langstom's been able to wrestle control over the beast's animal instincts, but once Fearless was employed, that control has melted away to nothing. Four men are dead, devoured. Not unlike the effects seen in Subjects A2 and D4 (See subfiles Doctor Grace Balin and Waylon Jones)"

 

The Man-Bat doesn't speak, it thrashes against the glass, roaring with animalistic ferocity. Gar nods, only a little bit terrified, and continues through the cell block.

 

"Subject's name is Charles Brown. A late bloomer. Dent tells me Charles is quite the fighter. Fearless tells a different story. He is full of limitless potential, but he is held back by his insecurities, and his grief. Edward Nygma murdered his child, an action which spiralled Brown into depression and finally... Kite-Man. "Hell Yeah," I believe his devotees say. He's a born leader. But he wants none of it. He just wants to do his son proud, and is *more* than happy to get himself killed along the way. He's a good man, in a world where the only people who act, are not."

 

======

 

"You know, I used to think you a totem of fear, it's master, but I've seen your true face now, and I'm... disappointed. You're just a puppet like the rest, aren't you, Wayne? A slave to fear, nothing."

 

Batman awakens to a cawing in his ear... Beside him, thousands of starved birds scream in cages.

 

"The chemical had an... Interesting effect on Mr Dent. It takes away limits, the mental barriers... Morality. And, Harvey Dent without morals? Well, that's just Two-Face," Scarecrow smiles, hobbling on his cane.

 

"And the first thing I did was melt that damn coin down and shape it into this. A silver bullet with your name on it. Let's see if *that* kills you," Two-Face continues, pulling his jacket aside to reveal his holstered pistol.

 

"Ironically, a little theatrical for my liking, hah. Not to mention... inaccurate. Silver bullets kill werewolves, not vampires. No. The *first* thing he did, was share your little secret, Wayne.

As you'll soon discover, this isn't just a toxin! It's a virus, carried by crows, rats, pigeons. And, like the vermin who carried the bubonic plague so many years ago, my toxin will infect millions."

 

Moonlight bounces off of Two-Face's blood soaked, patchworked face. "Tonight, Crane's pets will fly over those walls, infecting everyone they come into contact with- man, woman, child, and their moral inhibitions, will melt away."

 

Scarecrow- It's all rather amusing, to think that this is what happens when you remove fear from the equation- that fear of consequence, gone.

 

Two-Face- And what's left? People will do whatever they want, whenever they want, to whoever they want- theft, rape, murder, it'll all come pouring out. Everyone has those same dark thoughts you know, but now... now they're going to act on them. It'll be chaos. And then, *and* then, what'll separate them from us? Who'll be the *real* criminals?

 

"-I can cure them, of course, but, for a small fee. After all, what is research without a little... government funding."

 

Batman wrestles with his restraints. "I'll stop you."

 

Two-Face- But... you're in here. Heh. You can't stop those birds, no, no, no, not all of them. They'll spread across the city, and nothing will separate the innocent from the predatory.

 

Batman- You *know* how this ends.

 

"I know how it's *supposed* to end!" Scarecrow snaps back. "I've not just read the script, I've lived it, time and time again, always the same- I alter my toxins, Batman shuts me down, and I am transferred to the Asylum in a fresh body cast. Well no more! Time we broke that cycle. No more padded cells.

 

...

 

See, fear is everything, Batman. Fear is the power behind a gun. Fear is the mistress of extortion and blackmail. Fear is what drives us all, every doubt, every worry, that is *fear.* Without that, without fear, we have nothing. And that is exactly what those people will have when this night is through. Nothing."

 

"Hope, Crane. They'd have hope."

 

"You've been exchanging notes with the boyscout... Well, answer me this, Dark Knight! Tell me, do you think the bug has rescued Charles, yet?"

 

======

 

"Gar..." Chuck mutters, as Lynns takes out his flamethrower and smashes through the cell door. "You shouldn't have-"

"I'm going to fix this, Brown, alright? Don't speak."

 

"Yeah," Chuck smirks, "Yeah... Look out!"

 

A green hand pulls Gar back, it's grip melting away his armour- hotter than anything he's ever seen before; his skin, exposed to his attacker, starts to boil and sizzle, the mark of Doctor Phosphorus. It's skull-like features contort into a furious scowl.

 

"You're going to burn for this."

 

=====

 

"Lynns, Bats? The serial arsonist? The mass murderer! You really love your scarred-faced fuck-ups! Heading into battle with the Firefly, when you, you cut Harvey out of the loop for far less! Drop a little Fearless in his coffee and he might just burn Gotham to ash. Not before planting one on Walker, of course."

 

Crane chuckles to himself. "I don't care who you are. You're just a man, after all. But indulge me, tell me, what would you do if you found the man who killed them? The coward who ended the lives of Thomas and Martha Wayne. Would you be scared? Angry? Or would you sacrifice your moral compass just that once, and end him, just like he killed them all those years ago?"

 

Batman takes one look at Crane, and spits up blood, defiantly.

 

"Your silence speaks volumes, Dark Knight. Thank you."

Monino Central Air Force Museum (Moscow) July 2010

 

The Tupolev Tu-4 (NATO reporting name: Bull) was a piston-engined Soviet strategic bomber that served the Soviet Air Force from the late 1940s to mid-1960s. It was a reverse-engineered copy of the U.S.-made Boeing B-29 Superfortress.

Towards the end of World War II, the Soviet Union saw the need for a strategic bombing capability similar to that of the United States Army Air Forces. The Soviet VVS air arm did have their own-design Petlyakov Pe-8 four-engined "heavy" in service at the start of the war, but only 93 were built by the end of the war as the type had been equipped with unreliable turbocharged V12 diesel engines at the start of its service to give it long range. The U.S. regularly conducted bombing raids on Japan, extremely close to the Soviet Union's borders, from distant Pacific forward bases using B-29 Superfortresses. Joseph Stalin ordered the development of a comparable bomber.

 

The U.S. twice refused to supply the Soviet Union with B-29s under Lend Lease. However, on four occasions during 1944, individual B-29s made emergency landings in Soviet territory and one crashed after the crew bailed out. In accordance with the Soviet–Japanese Neutrality Pact, the Soviets were neutral in the Pacific War and the bombers were therefore interned and kept by the Soviets. Despite Soviet neutrality, America demanded the return of the bombers, but the Soviets refused. Three repairable B-29s were flown to Moscow and delivered into Tupolev OKB. One B-29 was dismantled, the second was used for flight tests and training, and the third one was left as a standard for cross-reference. With the Soviet declaration of war against Japan in accordance with the Yalta agreement to enter the war within 90 days of VE day (to allow it time to move its forces from Europe to Asia) at about 11pm on August 8, 1945 -- two days after the U.S. bombing of Hiroshima and the subsequent entente with Japan ending, the fourth B-29 was returned to the US along with its crew.

 

Stalin tasked Tupolev with cloning the Superfortress in as short a time as possible instead of continuing with his own comparable ANT-64 or samolet (aircraft) 64, and Soviet industry was to produce 20 copies of the aircraft ready for State acceptance trials in just two years.

 

The Soviet Union used the metric system, thus sheet aluminum in thicknesses matching the B-29's imperial measurements were unavailable. The corresponding metric-gauge metal was of different thicknesses. Alloys and other materials new to the Soviet Union had to be brought into production. Extensive re-engineering had to take place to compensate for the differences, and Soviet official strength margins had to be decreased to avoid further redesign,[9] yet despite these challenges the prototype Tu-4 only weighed about 750 lb (340 kg) more than the B-29, a difference of less than 1%.

 

The engineers and suppliers of components were under pressure from Tupolev, Stalin, and the government to create an exact clone of the original B-29 to facilitate production and Tupolev had to overcome substantial resistance in favor of using equipment that was not only already in production but in some cases better than the American version. Each component made and each alteration was scrutinized and was subject to a lengthy bureaucratic process. Differences were limited to the engines, the defensive weapons, the radio (a later model used in lend-lease B-25s was used in place of the radio in the interned B-29s) and the identification friend or foe (IFF) system – the American IFF being unsuitable. The Soviet engine, the Shvetsov ASh-73 was a development of the Wright R-1820 but was not otherwise related to the B-29s Wright R-3350. and the remote-controlled gun turrets were redesigned to accommodate the harder hitting and longer ranged Soviet Nudelman NS-23 23mm cannon. Kerber, Tupolev's deputy at the time, recalled in his memoirs that engineers needed authorization from a high-ranking general to use Soviet-made parachutes. Additional changes were made as a result of problems encountered during testing, related to engine and propeller failures and equipment changes were made throughout the aircraft's service life. Although it has been widely quoted, the Tu-4 did not have a random hole drilled in the wing either to emulate a bullet hole or because a Boeing engineer made a mistake – the Russians had three complete aircraft and the wreckage of a fourth and the likelihood of all four having a hole in the same place is too small to be credible. The aircraft included 1 Boeing-Witchita −5-BW, 2 Boeing-Witchita −15-BWs and the wreckage of 1 Boeing-Renton −1-BN – three different models from two different production lines. Only one of the 4 had de-icing boots as used on the Tu-4.

 

The Tu-4 first flew on 19 May 1947, piloted by test pilot Nikolai Rybko. Serial production started immediately, and the type entered large-scale service in 1949. Entry into service of the Tu-4 threw the USAF into a panic, since the Tu-4 possessed sufficient range to attack Chicago or Los Angeles on a one-way mission, and this may have informed the maneuvers and air combat practice conducted by US and British air forces in 1948 involving fleets of B-29s. Some attempts to develop midair refueling systems were made to extend the bomber's range, but these were fitted to only a few aircraft.

The aircraft was first displayed during a flyover at the Aviation Day parade on 3 August 1947 at the Tushino Airport in Moscow. Three aircraft flew overhead. It was assumed that these were merely the three B-29 bombers that were known to have been diverted to the USSR during World War II. Minutes later a fourth aircraft appeared. Western analysts realized that the Soviets must have reverse-engineered the B-29. The appearance of an obviously Superfortress-derived Tu-70 transport over the crowd removed any doubt about the success of the reverse-engineering.

Eight hundred and forty-seven Tu-4s had been built when production ended in the Soviet Union in 1952, some going to China during the later 1950s. Many experimental variants were built and the valuable experience launched the Soviet strategic bomber program. Tu-4s were withdrawn in the 1960s, being replaced by more advanced aircraft: the Tupolev Tu-16 (starting in 1954) and the Tupolev Tu-95 (starting in 1956). By the beginning of the 1960s, the only Tu-4s still operated by the Soviets were used for transport or airborne laboratory purposes. A Tu-4A was the first Soviet aircraft to drop a nuclear weapon, the RDS-1.

So this is stranger #4 :)

 

I've been at the beach all day soaking the rare scandinavian sun. So when I finally got around to take my daily portrait it was 9.30 in the evening. Non the less I picked out this fine man from afar! I truly have a thing for beards! He wanted to know what the project was about. So I told him and he agreed :) Afterwards we talked a little about beards - how I like to grow mine until they drives me nuts - He got inspired to grow his just like the bass player of his favourite band.

 

I promise that my next portrait will be beardless ;)

 

Also my last portrait got explored - this is the first time I've tried that!! I'm kind of very excited about that :)

Wasteland : Vol 4 : The Green Lake

 

Taken at some construction site, my friend went there to shoot first that's how i know this place. Apparently some chemical change made the water looks green.

 

I know the composition is odd, i had to do some climbing to get this shot, and the ground was full of rocks too.

Today I've got another MK group ready. Another few groups of MK figs will be here soon but for now I've got this bunch here.

 

Kitana - Pretty simple fig here, but I didn't really have many options with her or Jade, who I've ordered parts for. Batarangs are supposed to be her fans.

(Ningago torso and legs, BW face)

 

Erron Black - Rootin' Tootin' Arthur Morgan was pretty easy to make, just using various parts.

(Ninjago torso and legs, LotR head)

 

Kung Lao - Another super simple fig just like the rest of this group, the only unique aspect about him is the painted hat.

(Ninjago torso and legs, HP head)

 

Saibot - I needed a fourth figure to fill up this showcase, so I just added Saibot, who is Noob's shadow. Noob is in the back with his new sickle, most of the other characters got weapons as well.

(Literally just a black figure)

 

That's all them for today, the order I've got coming in this week includes Raiden, Sonya Blade, Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, Jax, Baraka, Jade, Shang Tsung, Kano, Quan Chi, Sareena, and Nightwolf, sonexpect a couple more showcases soon!

Este grupo de islas fue descubierto por Colón en su segundo viaje en el año 1493. El reclamó la tierra para España y la llamó "Las Once Mil Vírgenes", probablemente inspirado por la abundancia de picos recordándole las compañeras de Sta. Úrsula. La primera parada de Colón fue en Sta. Cruz; hizo desembarcar a sus hombres para que recogiesen agua fresca, pero sus hombres fueron capturados por los indígenas, los salvajes indios del Caribe. Durante años cien años siguientes, los españoles mostraron muy poco interés por las islas, aparte de las invasiones con el fin de raptar indígenas para que éstos trabajaran en las minas de oro de St. Domingo. De hecho cuando llegaron los colonizadores europeos, después de la derrota de la Armada Española, ya no quedaban indígenas en la isla. Sin embargo, los piratas utilizaban estas islas para esconder sus barcos y sus botines y para esperar a los galeones españoles cargados de tesoros.

Hoy día es un placer visitar estas islas de habla inglesa por pertenecer a USA a muy pocos kilómetros de Pto. Rico de habla española que tienen un gran cariño por España, "La Madre Patria".

The first generation iPhone (2g), the third generation iPhone (3GS), and the fourth generation iPhone (4). The straight edges of the face of the iPhone 4 give the illusion of a larger black bezel around the screen, notably above and below the screen.

 

The curvature in the first three generations gave the illusion that the bezel disappeared earlier. The second and third generations (3G and 3GS) had much more gradual curves in the back, making the phone look thinner when viewed from the front and sides.
