Wallace West (Earth-1955)

"Life is locomotion... if you're not moving, you're not living. But there comes a time when you've got to stop running away from things... and you've got to start running towards something, you've got to forge ahead. Keep moving. Even if your path isn't lit... trust that you'll find your way."

Wallace "Wally" West is a former employee at S.T.A.R. Labs who was struck by lightning, that, mixed with chemical composites near his workplace, caused West to develop superhuman speed and agility. Struggling with his newfound abilities, Wally found guidance in the form of Iris West. Taking the name of Flash, he became a vigilante in Central City, and eventually turned into one of the founding members of the Justice League.
