Wally West
Wallace Rudolph "Wally" West is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics as the original Kid Flash and the third Flash. His power consists mainly of superhuman speed. The nephew of Barry Allen, the second Flash, he first appeared in "Flash" #110 (1959), which depicted his transformation into Kid Flash. Under the mantle of Kid Flash, Wally was depicted as a teenage sidekick to his uncle and a founding member of the Teen Titans. After Barry's death in "Crisis on Infinite Earths" in 1985, Wally took on the role of the Flash from 1986 to 2009 in DC's main lineup until Barry returned in "The Flash: Rebirth". Even so, Wally is the fastest character to ever hold the mantle of the Flash and a fan favorite. He returned as the main Flash since 2021, as part of the "Infinite Frontier" relaunch.

In his debut as the Flash, Wally wears a distinct red and gold costume similar to Barry's, which, like his uncle, he traditionally stores compressed inside a ring. He later creates a costume directly out of Speed Force energy. Following his return in "DC Rebirth", Wally obtains a new red and silver costume that generates white/blue lightning to demonstrate that his connection to the Speed Force is stronger than ever.

Generally portrayed as a white man with red hair and green eyes, Wally was reinterpreted biracial for DC's 2011 New 52 relaunch. A desire from fans to see the original interpretation of the character restored, however, led to the first Wally returning in 2016's "DC Rebirth", while his New 52 reinterpretation was revealed as a separate character renamed as Wallace to avoid confusion.

Wally West has appeared in many other forms of media and was featured as the incarnation of the Flash in the Cartoon Network series "Justice League", voiced by Michael Rosenbaum, and the 2010 film "Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths", voiced by Josh Keaton. As Kid Flash, he appeared in Cartoon Network's "Young Justice" series, voiced by Jason Spisak.
