Powers

  • Hyper Speed: Wally's powers are based on speed. His movement is at Class 3000 airspeed while running (see below).
    • Considered Unearthly rank for Fighting for multiple attacks and evading.
    • Considered Unearthly rank for Agility for dodging and catching projectiles.
    • Deliver 100 "Good" punches in a round.
    • Flash is considered to have Unearthly Endurance for movement and tiring purposes.
    • May reach maximum speed in one round and has no penalties making high speed maneuvers or starting or stopping suddenly.
    • Considered Unearthly rank for Intuition for initiative.
    • He may perceive any object's momentum as though it were moving at Feeble speed, I.E. Arrows and bullet sized objects appear moving at 5 mph.
    • Wally moves so fast he is able to perform 9 actions a combat round.
    • When attempting to hit Wally with anything other than an area effect or Psychic attack, the attacker must have initiative, and succeed in an Unearthly Intuition FEAT, otherwise he will have moved out of the way. This FEAT is not required if the attacker also has Hyper-speed powers.
  • Energy Sheath: Wally projects an aura that surrounds and protects him from excess heat and friction when he moves allowing him to ignore the environmental effects of friction (including sonic booms) enabling him to surpass standard speed constraints. Due to this Wally uses the air speed column for movement and is not restricted by atmospheric conditions. This aura seems to be a by-product of the Speed Force, and can slightly blunt physical attacks, as well as the effects of windburn and friction-heat. While moving Wally is considered to have Excellent protection vs. Physical Attacks, and Incredible vs. Heat and Friction, due to the aura that the Speed Force provides him. 
  • Kinetic Generation and Control: Wally's "slipstream" effect allows him to impart and control momentum in other objects with Unearthly rank ability. 
  • Power Transfer: Wally is able to impart speed to others enabling them to "run" at speeds equal to himself. The recipient must already be moving and must be in contact with Wally to recieve this benefit. 
  • Steal Speed: Flash can Neutralize a target/objects kinetic energy forcing the target to immediately stops.
  • Resist Cold: Excellent
  • Air Walking: Class 1000; running at 90 degree inclines (up or down buildings).
  • Water Walking: Class 1000 by skimming along on surface tension.
  • Create Cyclones: Monstrous damage or Shift-Y stunning or slamming.
  • Phasing: Wally can vibrate his molecules so fast that he can 'phase' through objects of less than Class 1000 material strength. This destroys any inorganic object of less than Unearthly material strength after he passes through it.
  •  Invisibility: By moving extremely fast, Red intuition FEAT to notice.
  • Vibrating Hand: Amazing damage
  • Break Restraint: Unearthly damage by vibrating through it.
  • Time Travel: On a Red power FEAT Flash may break the Time Barrier allowing time travel with Class 1000 ability.
  • Spectrum Shifting: Wally can run so quickly as to cause light to begin to slow, and experience Red Shift. Which will allows him to view the lower spectrum of light that is normally invisible to the unaided human eye.
  • Dimension Travel: Wally may also travel to any dimension he chooses by travelling through the heart of the speedforce at Class 1000 rank. During Terminal Velocity, Wally combined Max Mercury's Zen Speed theory with Johnny Quick's speed formula to go faster than light. He essentially existed outside of time. Capable of entering the "Speedforce".

Limitations

  • The Call of the Speed Force: If Wally travels at Class 1000 or greater speed he must make a successful Psyche FEAT roll, failure means he hears the "Call of the Speed Force". This means he is lost in speed and all subsequent actions he must push himself to break the "Speed Force Barrier" (Class 3000 speed). Upon achieving this speed he must make another Psyche FEAT roll, with failure indicting he is absorbed by the Speed Force and effectively "dies".

Special Notes

 Wally West is the fastest man alive, and the third speedster known as the Flash. Using his super-speed powers, he wields the Speed Force and becomes a costumed crime-fighter. He is a founding member of the Teen Titans.

• Originally, Wally existed in the rebooted timeline after the events of Flashpoint. At one point, he was erased from existence by Abra Kadabra and completely forgotten by everyone. After this, Wally became trapped inside the Speed Force. He was finally able to break out after the death of Darkseid.

Personal History

One day when visiting his Aunt, Iris West and Barry Allen, Wally was struck by a bolt of lightning and doused in chemicals, which granted him access to the mysterious energy field called the Speed Force.

After Wally's accident, he then became the Flash's sidekick, and would become known as Kid Flash.

At one point in time, Wally became a founding member of the original incarnation of the Teen Titans, alongside Robin (Dick Grayson), Aqualad (Garth), Omen, Speedy, and Wonder Girl (Donna Troy). One day while fighting alongside the team, Wally disappeared. At this point, Wally was cast into the Speed Force by Abra Kadabra and forgotten by everyone.

During the Justice League's war against Darkseid, while Barry Allen was running from the Black Racer, Wally first attempted to reach out to Barry from inside the Speed Force, by calling his name, although Barry was only confused by this and did not realize what was happening.

While trapped in the Speed Force, Wally sensed a presence, who he realized was a being from outside the universe, and learned that this being was watching the universe, and was responsible for preventing the timeline from re-forming correctly after the Flashpoint, by removing a decade from history. Wally, observing the universe from the Speed Force and with his regain pre-flashpoint history memories, repeatedly tried to break through to warn that world's heroes of the impending threat. None of those heroes remembered him, however, as in their timeline they'd never met him, as Wally had been erased by Abra Kadabra. Just before he fully faded away to become one with the Speed Force, however, Barry Allen remembered him and pulled him out, saving him. Wally told Barry about the history that was lost, and the Flashpoint, before leaving to gather a team, the Titans.

Shortly after his conversation with Barry Allen, Wally traveled to the apartment of Dick Grayson and began reminiscing, looking at old photos of the Teen Titans team he was now never a part of. Dick, in his Nightwing guise, then spotted Wally in his apartment, unaware of who the stranger was, and attempted to engage him. Before Dick was able to attack Wally, a bolt of lightning emerged from Wally's hand, electrocuting Dick, and "shocking" his forgotten memories of Wally back to life. Shortly after, the rest of the Titans arrive, only to be shocked by Wally, rejuvenating their memories. Wally then explains to the team how a presence had stolen ten years from their lives. After this, the same photo of the Teen Titans Wally was looking at earlier is seen, with Wally now in the photo as Kid Flash.

Wally met his younger cousin, who he shares the same name with, when he showed up in Central City and helped Flash and Kid Flash stop an explosion. When Wally went to shake his younger cousin's hand, this caused some sort of disruption with the Speed Force, causing Barry to become corrupted. Wally and his cousin managed to bring Barry back before he was absorbed into the Speed Force. While corrupted, Barry, in a fit of rage, revealed to the Kid Flash that Daniel West was, in fact, his father, rather than his uncle as he was led to believe. Kid Flash ran away, angered at how he was lied to his whole life. Wally later managed to find and comfort his younger cousin, and give him advice and words of wisdom.

After Wally and the Titans defeated a threat in their new base of operations: Manhattan, Superman showed up to the scene, believing it was a threat for him to handle. After seeing that the Titans had handled it, he left telling Wally it was "good to see him again". This caused Wally great confusion, as no one he had encountered since he'd been back had remembered him. He caught up to Superman and questioned him about how he remembers him, as well as his life with Linda Park. Superman revealed to Wally that he also remembers a different world. Superman gives Wally words of advice, and the two agree to inform each other if either of them learn more about the mysterious situation, then the two engage in a race where they later meet with the other Titans at their newly built headquarters: Titans Tower.

During a mission with the Titans, Wally was drugged and abducted by Deathstroke, the world's deadliest assassin. When Wally awakened, he realized he had been restrained and given a truth serum. This made him answer any of Deathstroke's questions and run against his will. Wally was able to eventually able to break free from the restraints and pin down Slade. This is when Deathstroke made Wally an offer: if Wally uses his powers to go back in time and change the past so Deathstroke's son doesn't die, Slade will quit being Deathstroke. Admittedly tempted by the offer, Wally refuses. Slade then reveals to Wally that he had also captured Wally's cousin, Kid Flash, as a contingency.

Deathstroke eventually convinces Kid Flash to help him, while absorbing his Speed Force powers in secret. When Slade is confronted by both teams of Titans, he easily blitzes through them, now harnessing the Speed Force. Wally chases after Slade and catches up to him. Slade then makes Wally realize that speed is his only advantage, and now that the playing field is evened, he doesn't stand a chance, since Slade is a trained killer. Wally runs away in fear and seeks out Deathstroke's son, Jericho, for help.

Due to his heart condition, Wally writes a letter to Nightwing about his resigning from the Titans but Donna interrupts him and tells him that their kiss was a moment of empathy and they should remain friends for now. During a battle against H.I.V.E., Wally suffers from a heart attack and apparently dies. However, thanks to his cousin, he managed to survive, and his heart condition is healed. Afterwards, the Justice League encourages the Titans to disband, which they do. Wally, realizing that he never created a life for himself outside of super heroics, agrees with the decision.

Upon his return to Central City, Wally helps his cousin and uncle fight the Top, but is still reluctant to inform his aunt of his existence. Furthermore, he's upset that Barry kept Iris' murder of Eobard Thawne from him. The two briefly get into an argument, though they make amends very quickly. Wally later goes to visit Frances Kane, remembering the pre-Flashpoint timeline. While she initially does not remember him, Wally restores her memories of the pre-Flashpoint timeline, which also inadvertently brings back her Magenta persona and powers. Initially reacting violently to Wally, Magenta calms down once Wally brings her to their hometown. After she is taken to S.T.A.R. Labs who attempt to help her condition, Wally decides to return to Keystone City, where Dick Grayson pays for his apartment. Wally resolves to tell Iris of his existence.

After the Renegades were sent to capture Iris West for questioning for the murder of Eobard Thawne, Wally, Barry, and Wallace engage in a battle with the. During the battle, Wally West has a "temporal seizure". The Renegades promise to care for him if Iris agrees to come back with them, to which she agrees, although Barry and Wallace also come back to the 25th century with them. After arriving in the future, Wally is separated from the rest of the group and is confronted by Zoom, who informs him that all of the forgotten speedsters are lost in the Speed Force and that the only way to save them is to destroy it, as well as the fact that he can help him save his children.

Following the events of Flash War, Wally sought help in Sanctuary, a rehabilitation center for both superheroes and reformed villain. During his time in Sanctuary, Wally tried getting over his mental health issues caused by being unable to getting Ira, Jai and the other forgotten (lost) speedsters. While there Wally was gradually getting better, however after a while he started convincing himself he was the only hero in Sanctuary and that Sanctuary was made solely out of pity for Wally by the Justice League.

Wally broke into the A.I. and perceived all of the other patients' traumas, because of this he got a mental breakdown and the other patients came outside because of the alarm he triggered. Losing control of his power and the Speed Force Wally released a burst of Speed Force Energy, massacring nearly every patient in Sanctuary minus Booster Gold and Harley Quinn. The victims of the massacre were Arsenal, Blue Jay, Hot Spot, Commander Steel, Red Devil, Lagoon Boy, Gunfire, Gnarrk, Protector, Nemesis, Tattooed Man, Solstice and Poison Ivy. Wally also put a future version of himself amongst the victims.

After this Wally leaves evidence that puts either Booster or Harley as the culprit to the slaughter, giving Wally time to set up a plan to do something equally as good as he did bad. Wally recorded a tape confessing his crimes and sent it to Lois Lane.

After five days Wally revived Poison Ivy and had his five days younger self kill that Wally. However Booster and friends arrive in time and convince Wally to clone himself, kill the clone, put the body of the clone amongst the victims, turn himself in and accept responsibility for the massacre. After these events Wally puts his fate in the Justice League and realizes that the only way is up now.
