- The speedster. Not to be confused with Macromedia Adobe Flash animation, or with The Saviour of the Universe (ah-ah!), this is the Super Speed hero of The DCU, whose legacy stretches from The Golden Age of Comic Books to today. The Golden Age Flash, Jay Garrick, was, if not the first, then the most well known early single-power Superhero. Earlier heroes were either Superman-style characters with many different abilities, or Batman-style human vigilantes. Jay did one thing, and he did it well: run fast.

His main power is Super-Speed, although it comes from a different source than that of Kryptonians; Flash's speed comes from the Speed Force. There have been several versions of the Flash, including Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, Wally West, and Bart Allen.

- = Flash (comics) = The Flash is a name shared by several fictional comic book superheroes from the DC Comics universe. Created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Harry Lampert, the original Flash first appeared in Flash Comics #1 (January 1940). Once nicknamed the Scarlet Speedster, all incarnations of the Flash possess "super-speed", which includes the ability to run and move extremely fast, use superhuman reflexes and seemingly violate certain laws of physics. Thus far, four different characters, each of whom somehow gained the power of "super-speed", have assumed the identity of the Flash: Jay Garrick (1940-), Barry Allen (1956-1985, 2008-), Wally West (1986-2006, 2007-), and Bart Allen (2006-2007). Before Wally and Bart's ascension to the mantle of the Flash, they were both Flash proteges under the same name: Kid Flash. The second incarnation of the Flash, Barry Allen, is generally considered the first hero of the Silver Age of comic books and the superhero has remained one of DC‘s most popular ever since. Each version of the Flash has been a key member of at least one of DC's three premier teams: the Justice Society of America, the Justice League, and the Teen Titans. Wally West has recently rejoined the Justice League, and Barry Allen recently returned to life in the pages of Final Crisis. The Barry Allen version of the character (with Wally West elements) was featured in a live action television series in 1990, starring John Wesley Shipp. The Wally West version of the Flash (but with many elements of Barry Allen's story) is featured in the animated series Justice League.{|class="toc" id="toc" summary="Contents" |

Fortunately for The Flash, in today's brave new world there are no readers too young to follow along the the blood spattered life of a Crime Scene Investigator; nor can you ever be too old to shill out another three bucks a month to DC comics. Casting a paunchy, balding, middle-aged man with insurance premiums as a wise cracking comic book hero was DC's first attempt to penetrate the vibrational barrier to a multidimensional market beyond just pubescent fanboys and sell subscriptions to Jewish accountants. This new audience obviously had far less interest in fantasy science escapism, and found The Flash's bouts with exhaustion during morning commutes, struggling with his doctor to find the right blood pressure medication that's right for his cardiac health, and manscaping his nasal hair, all to be gripping post structuralist drama.

- The speedster. Not to be confused with Macromedia Adobe Flash animation, or with The Saviour of the Universe (ah-ah!), this is the Super Speed hero of The DCU, whose legacy stretches from The Golden Age of Comic Books to today. The Golden Age Flash, Jay Garrick, was, if not the first, then the most well known early single-power Superhero. Earlier heroes were either Superman-style characters with many different abilities, or Batman-style human vigilantes. Jay did one thing, and he did it well: run fast. Jay was otherwise a fairly standard Golden Age hero. His Super-Hero Origin involved a Freak Lab Accident involving "hard water fumes". (Later issues retconnned this to "heavy water vapor".) He fought a mix of racketeers, saboteurs, normal criminals with a gimmick, and super-powered villains, while keeping up his Secret Identity as a college student, and his relationship to his girlfriend, Joan Williams. (In a pleasant variation from the norm, Joan was in on his secret from the beginning.) As the Golden Age came to an end, Jay left with it, eventually edged out of his own book by a trio of Plucky Comic Relief characters known as The Three Dimwits. The Silver Age of Comic Books could be said to begin when its Flash, Barry Allen, arrived on the scene. In the fourth issue of Showcase, a try-out series for new concepts, DC Comics brought back the idea of the Flash, but gave him a new costume, origin, and secret identity, creating the first Superhero Legacy Character. Sales took off, and not long thereafter, he gained his own series, picking up the numbering where the original Flash had left off. Barry was a police scientist, one of the precursors to CSI-style forensics. On a dark and stormy night, he was working late in the lab. Just as he was standing against a rack of multicolored chemicals, a lightning bolt flew through the window, striking the chemicals and causing them to spill all over Barry, leaving him soaked but unharmed. As he left the lab, he found himself running at super-speed to catch up with a cab, and the Flash was born. The Flash created many of the features of the Silver Age DCU. In 1961, the story "Flash Of Two Worlds" was published. It featured Barry accidentally crossing the "vibration barrier" between dimensions, and ending up in a world he dubbed "Earth-2", where Jay Garrick still lived, having retired from superheroing after marrying Joan. Thus, the first seeds of the Infinite Earths were planted. He was also a founding member of the Justice League of America. Along the way, he developed an impressive Rogues Gallery of enemies who commanded incredible technology that always works through a particular theme. For example, Captain Cold had advanced freezing weapons, Heat Wave's fired extreme heat, Mirror Master's mirror based technology could do a myriad of things and Weather Wizard could control weather itself. Yet, for all this powerful tech, it's a running joke that the vast majority of the gallery were really unambitious with it, considering they were content to merely commit simple robberies with them. Gorilla Grodd with his bigger fish, er... bananas, to fry, was an exception, as were Professor Zoom, Cobalt Blue, and Abra Kadabra. A few years into his tenure, Barry picked up Kid Sidekick Wally West. Wally, the nephew of Barry's fiancée and eventual wife Iris, was visiting Barry at the lab when, suddenly, the Freak Lab Accident repeated itself, showering Wally in electrified chemicals and giving him the same powers. Barry dubbed him "Kid Flash" and let him in on the secret, taking him along on his adventures. Barry's career lasted into The Bronze Age of Comic Books, and took on the flavor of the era. Professor Zoom, Barry's Evil Counterpart, killed Iris. Barry grieved, but fell in love again, with Fiona Webb; however, on their wedding day, Zoom attacked again, and after a pitched battle, Barry snapped his neck just before he was about to kill Fiona. This led into the "Trial of Barry Allen" arc; at the end, Barry was acquitted, it was revealed that Iris had been born in the future and saved by Applied Phlebotinum, and they moved there together, giving the series a Happily Ever After ending. (Well, unless you're Fiona.) Unfortunately, happy endings don't last long in comics, and soon, Barry returned, warning the heroes of the Crisis on Infinite Earths. He was kidnapped by the Anti-Monitor, the Crisis Big Bad, but sacrificed himself in order to save the universe from the Anti-Monitor's anti-matter cannon, running so fast that he disappeared from reality itself. Now, not long before, Wally West had developed a disease that would kill him if he used his powers. During Crisis, he was cured by an energy blast, and after angsting about it for a while, decided to carry on Barry's legacy by becoming the new Flash, which led into the rebooted Flash series. File:Flash.jpg The early issues showed Wally as someone who was young, irresponsible, and not quite ready for the role of an A-list Superhero. He was egotistical and womanizing, though it was obvious that he used this to cover up emotional problems. This was the version that the DCAU Flash was based on. As the series went on, Wally matured. His speed, which had been limited to about the speed of sound after Crisis, started increasing. He became good friends with the woman who would later be his steady love interest, reporter Linda Park. Subverting There Are No Therapists, he actually got therapy. His Secret Identity went public. Then Mark Waid came on the series, and things really took off. Wally was increasingly linked to the Flash legacy, and it to him. He started fighting Barry's old villains. Jay popped up more often. Iris returned from the future, with a new speedster in tow; Bart Allen, AKA Impulse, Barry's grandson, who had inherited his speed, but had no sense of personal danger or responsibility after being raised in virtual reality (He originally could not slow down and could only interact with a world that worked at computer speeds; he was later taught to shift gears). Barry seemed to return, but it was really a complex delusion of a time-travelling Professor Zoom. Finally, the thing that would forever after define the Flash legacy showed up: the Speed Force. After a trip through time, Wally began to transform into energy. Max Mercury, a Golden Age speedster, showed up, explaining that Wally had touched a quasi-mystical dimension, "beyond the speed of light", that was the source of all speedsters' powers. Max became The Obi-Wan to Wally and later, to Bart. Wally was eventually sucked in, but managed to come out the other side due to the power of his love for Linda. About this time, other speedsters became regular guest stars, often en masse, forming Wally's "Cyclone Rangers" or "The Academy of Speed", including Wally, Jay, Bart, Max Mercury, and Jesse Quick. Bart spun off into his own, light-hearted series, Impulse. Meanwhile, Wally and Linda got ready to tie the knot. As had become de rigeur for a Flash wedding, something horrible happened, with Linda kidnapped by Abra Kadabra and apparently erased from existence. Without The Power of Love to anchor him, Wally apparently disappeared into the Speed Force. He was replaced by a Darker and Edgier Flash; a mysterious figure who was trusted by the few people who knew his identity (initially he never took his mask off on panel). "Dark Flash" was eventually revealed as an Alternate Universe Wally from a world in which Linda had been killed. Eventually, the "real" Wally and Linda returned, Linda having been trapped in Dark Flash's universe and The Power of Love having brought Wally there. After Waid left the book, Geoff Johns took it in a new direction; Linda's unborn twins were killed by Wally's Evil Counterpart, the new Zoom, and Wally subsequently got the Spectre to wipe everyone's memory of the Flash's secret identity, including his own. Gradually, first Wally then other heroes, then Linda learned the truth. Eventually Wally was able to Set Right What Once Went Wrong and use Zoom's own Time Travel powers to restore the twins. Bart, meanwhile, moved from Impulse to the new Kid Flash in the pages of Teen Titans In the Crisis Crossover Infinite Crisis, Wally attempted to trap Superboy-Prime in the Speed Force, and took Linda and the twins to a peaceful planet the Flashes had been visiting since Jay's time. In the wake of Infinite Crisis, the Speed Force was apparently inaccessible. One Year Later, Bart Allen managed to connect to it again, and became the Flash. He had a brief career before being killed by a team-up of all the Flash's rogues, under the orders of his Evil Twin, Inertia. Wally West and Mark Waid both returned to the book. The twins had a Plot-Relevant Age-Up, and Wally and Linda were teaching them how to use their (erratic and only vaguely speed-related) powers. Meanwhile, Jay remained a mentor and was one of the leaders of the Justice Society of America. File:Flash-Quartet-by-Jino-kr-small 8709.jpg Barry Allen returned from the Speed Force during Final Crisis. The cause of his return and his place in the DCU are being explored in the miniseries The Flash: Rebirth, written by Geoff Johns. Bart came back from the dead and got plot-relevant de-aged in Legion Of 3 Worlds. As of the end of Blackest Night, the DC Universe was left with the unprecedented scenario of all four Flashes alive and well. Whilst the fandom hoped the writers would take full advantage, the opportunity was never capitalised on, with the Flash series focusing on Barry & barely featuring Wally, Bart or Jay during the 12 issues of the series. And then Flashpoint happened. Flashpoint saw Barry waking up in a radically different world, and without his powers due to the Speed Force never being created. As the story went on, Barry managed to recreate the Speed Force & teamed up with this world's Batman to restore the damage to the timeline. In the final issue of the story, Zoom reveals that it was Barry, not him, who caused the alterations to the timeline by trying to stop the murder of Barry's mother at his hand. However, thanks to three timelines merging, not everything is the same - Whilst Barry is still the Flash, he's no longer married to Iris & is now in a relationship with Patty Spivot; and whilst Kid Flash is still around & Bart is still in the suit, it's unclear if he's still related to Barry (As of this writing, the two haven't interacted). However, Wally's time as Kid Flash & the Flash has been erased from history, and it's unclear what his status is. As for Jay Garrick, the event also re-established Earth-2, making Jay once again Barry's Alternate Universe counterpart. In TV, Barry Allen got his own series in The Flash. He also appeared in Superfriends. Wally showed up as the Flash in Justice League (after an un-named Flash made a guest appearance on Superman: The Animated Series), and as Kid Flash in Teen Titans. Bart appeared in Smallville, as the Flash in his first appearance and as Impulse in his later ones. Wally will be appearing in the upcoming Justice League of America movie, with a Flash movie positioned as a Spin-Off. Jay Garrick appeared for the first time in animation in Batman the Brave And The Bold, and for the first time in live-action in a cameo in the ninth season of Smallville. Wally is Flash in the DC Super Friends short. Barry appears as Flash in Justice League: The New Frontier and Justice League Doom, though in the latter, he is, confusingly, played by Wally's DCAU voice actor, and alongside the rest of that canon's actors. The only time all four Flashes have been on-screen together is Young Justice, during Bart's introduction in season two's "Bloodlines." For one of the best Flash sites on the Internet, see Flash: Those Who Ride The Lightning. Tangent Comics Flash was a young girl called Lia Nelson who was composed of light. A re-imagining of the Flash exists in the Just Imagine series. This version of the Flash is a college girl called Mary Maxwell who gains super speed after her father attempts to save her from a life-threatening disease that slowly drained her energy, by injecting her with hummingbird DNA. DC even has two Funny Animal versions of the Flash:
* The first was the Terrific Whatzit, a Golden Age comics character who's a turtle. TW had a power set similar to Johnny Quick's (super-speed, some flight and super-strength), and wore a costume similar to Jay Garrick's. Later stories showed he lived on the parallel world of Earth-C, and was the uncle of the Zoo Crew's speedster Fastback.
* The second was the Crash, a member of the JLA (Just'a Lotta Animals) of Earth-C-Minus. The Crash was his world's version of the Flash (the Silver Age version), and thus had the same costume and powers as the Flash. In a variation on Barry Allen's backstory as well as the story "The Flash of Two Worlds," it's revealed that the Crash as a child had read his world's "fictional" comics about (Earth-C's) Terrific Whatzit.
