## Biography

### Early Criminal Career

**Daniel West'**s mother died giving birth to him, a fact for which his father William never forgave him. This also drove his father to become an abusive alcoholic. His sister Iris protected and supported him until the day that his father went too far, and an angry Daniel pushed him down the stairs, crippling him for life. When he realized that Iris' opinion of him would change forever as a result of those actions, Daniel ran away from home, blaming his father instead of himself for what happened.

By the time he was eighteen he had fallen in with a fast crowd, becoming a small-time thug. All while trying to mend his relationship with Iris, who resented him for leaving her with their paraplegic father. His first big score was thwarted by The Flash, and he wound up in prison for 5 years.

### Birth of the Reverse-Flash

After being released from prison, Danny learned that his sister still resented him. Shortly afterwards he was kidnapped by a pack of nut jobs looking to sell his organs to the highest bidder. Danny attempted to flee, only to be caught in the middle of a crash with a car containing an experimental power source powered by the Speed Force battery, endowing Daniel with super-speed and giving him the ability to turn back time.

Daniel decided to use his newfound powers to turn back time far enough to kill his father and change his relationship with Iris. He began murdering several dozen people in order to drain their electrical energy to enhance his own speed, but found that only another speedster could allow Danny to have the power he needed to do anything he wanted, and to this end sought to target the Flash.
