Kid Flash was the teenage sidekick of Flash back in the '60s. He was also a member of the Teen Titans.


Background Information[]

In the parallel universe of Earth-One, Wally West was the nephew of Iris West. Iris is the wife of of Barry Allen, the Justice League of America member, aka the Flash!

One summer when Wally was ten, he visited his aunt Iris' fiancee, Barry Allen, at the Central City police laboratory where Barry worked. The freak accident that gave Allen his powers repeated itself. Wally was shot into a rack of chemicals by a bolt of lightning, just like Barry. After revealing his identity to Wally, Barry offered to train the boy on how to use his new powers. Wally was the first person, aside from Iris to know the Flash's double-identity.[3]

Wally became Kid Flash (the first Kid Flash and the third Flash), fighting crime either alone or with the Flash.

Wally was also a founding member of the newly created Teen Titans, where he became friends with Dick Grayson, then known as Robin and Aqualad.[4] Kid Flash remained a member in good standing of that team.

Flash DCAU Wally West The Flash, commonly called the "Fastest Man Alive," was a young and popular superhero from Central City and a founding member of the Justice League. Apart from his vast speed powers, Wally's most significant qualities were his approachability and his down-to-earth, quintessentially human nature — qualities that many said made him the "heart of the Justice League." In his civilian life, Wally West worked as a forensic scientist with the Central City Police Department. The precise circumstances of the incident in which Wally West gained his powers have never been fully revealed. It appears that Wally was the subject of a freak accident in which lightning struck a rack of chemicals in a laboratory. Somehow this combination endowed Wally with the fantastic speed powers for which he would become renowned. Adopting the costumed identity of the Flash, Wally fought to protect the people of Central City from various threats, particularly those of the criminal variety.

This version of Wally West is based on Superman: The Animated Series (1996-2000), the Justice League (2001-2004), and the Justice League Unlimited (2004-2006) animated series produced for the Cartoon Network.
