What will his new hero identity be?

I have no idea honestly.

I think he will spend some time as Wally first and then get a super-hero indentity. I don't think DC will just bump him into the Super-hero world.

This.

Yeah but when he does it I mean.

Black Flash.

...you laugh, but would you really put it past 'em?

<< Is Black. Hates that they are making Wally Black. For cats like Nick Fury it was fine I guess but people have been clamoring for Wally for years and they do a switcheroo (I don't recall EVER hearing someone excited about Nick Fury before the movies, so that's why it's different).

I just wanna point out that there are probably less ginger superheroes than black ones, so DC's actually being racist... huehue...

Also, considering their past decisions, I think "Black Flash" sounds like a name they'd be considering.

I seriously hope he wouldn't be called "black flash". Black Flash already existed in the pre-52, who comes after speedsters that has a connection to the speed force. He's like the grim reaper of speedsters. I don't see DC using that name. There's already enough hero names that starts with "black" and it's annoying considering some of these characters are "black" heroes. It can come offensive at times.

@mysoulz: I'm pretty sure the guy who brought that up was joking.

Impulse? He certainly seems young enough.

@avenging_x_bolt: haha I'm sure it was a joke. I wasn't commenting directly to the poster that said that you know. I made a general statement hoping DC wouldn't be considering it. No worries though.

I've said it before, I'll say it again, Flashback sounds sweet to me.

The name has flash but it is Flashback. It makes sense as how when one gets a flashback it is a quick vivid memory. It is like playing on tHe word De Ja Vu. He's so fast it is like it happened twice.

His cover/fake aka superhero name is Wally West because the real Wally West no longer exists. :p

Probably Kid Flash.

He dies as a teenager 5 years from now, which means he's 14 years old at most in the present (putting him at 19 five years from now). He's 8 years old at least (putting him at 13 five years from now). I'm guessing DC will make him Damian Wayne's age in the present so that they can create a new generation of heroes. :-/

If not that, then he'll get some Speedster name like Blitz, Impulse, Lightspeed, Fasttrack, Rocket, Blur, etc.

Isn't there already a Kid Flash? Unless he has diead in the TT run.

Maybe they'll call him "the bolt" or something.

@redwingx: Well if you really want to know he did not die....he is just currently imprisoned with Solstice on a prison planet in 30th or 31st centry.

@zelos797: Yeah, iirc, he's a villain.

Probably Kid Flash, since Wally is now 12 years old... which makes him younger than Bart... Why can't legacy characters get any respect at DC?
