Though he has been told by a future version of himself that he's going to meet his wife in the near future. [Which is true, though he has no idea it's Reporter Linda Park.]<br/><br/><strong>Base of Operations:</strong> Keystone City and Central City, AKA "The Twins".<br/><br/><strong>Powers/Skills:</strong> The Flash is, quite simply, the Fastest Man Alive. Top running speed is unknown, but when circumstances line up just right he's broken the speed of light before. What is known is that he runs so fast that he can reliably run up walls, across bodies of water, pass through objects by vibrating his molecules [if this usually weakens or destroys what he's passing through afterwords], and he seems to be gaining the ability to speed up or slow down things around him.<br/><br/>He's also a damn fine automobile mechanic if his boss has anything to say about it.<br/><br/><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> With his faster metabolism comes greater energy demands. While the source of his powers does seem to be fueling his body he still eats significantly more then a normal person.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong> Wally West grew up in a small town in Nebraska, doomed to life in the slow lane. Even his borderline abusive father would try to force this on him- the day Wally became old enough to get a Learner's Permit Mr. West responded by asking where Wally thought he was going to go.<br/><br/>Wally told him that he didn't have anywhere yet- but he would. The teenage boy's dismal, dreary existence only had two bright points. Cars and his favorite superhero the Flash who had seemed to take a personal interest in Wally. Now he didn't know that the reason he interacted with the Flash so much was because the Flash was secretly Barry Allen, a KCPD Forensic Chemist and Wally's Aunt Iris' Fiancee, but with Flash's help he held onto the idea that life could turn out okay.<br/><br/>Then it happened. Barry got his powers when a lightning bolt struck a cabinet of police chemicals which exploded onto him. A billion to one chance that would repeat itself on Wally during a visit with his Aunt. Getting speed powers of his own, Wally would become Barry's sidekick, Kid Flash.<br/><br/>It would be years of adventures with Kid Flash growing up happy for the first time in his life, but everything has to come an end. Barry died saving the universe, so Wally did the unspoken duty of the Sidekick and changed his colors to match his mentor. Barry died, but the Flash kept up the race. He's not as smart as his uncle, but he's mainlining the power of Speed more then his Uncle ever did. And he knows his way around a wrench and an engine block while he's at it.<br/><br/><strong>Activity:</strong> Protecting the Twins, maintaining his secret identity, and horndogging.<br/><br/><strong>Known Enemies:</strong> The Rogues. Boredom.<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong> (http://content6.flixster.com/photo/30/96/54/3096548_ori.jpg)<br/>(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NoNdRHxwy5g/S8x3Cf3pMxI/AAAAAAAACzc/gvGmp5piH3Q/s1600/flash.jpg)<br/></div></div>
