    Wally West

    Character » Wally West appears in 3141 issues.

    Struck by the same lightning bolt that turned his uncle Barry Allen into the Flash, Wallace Rudolph "Wally" West took the name Kid Flash, became Barry's sidekick, and joined the Teen Titans. Eventually, Wally became the Flash to honor his uncle's memory, who died saving the Universe. He also became a member of the Justice League. He married a woman named Linda Park and had two kids, Jai and Iris West II. Currently, Wally is active as the Flash.

    What will his new hero identity be?

    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.

    << 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.

    @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.

    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.

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

    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?
