Flash (Wally West)

**Wally West** is the Fastest Man Alive, and the third speedster known as the **Flash**. Using his Super-Speed powers, he wields the Speed Force and became a costumed crime-fighter. He was the nephew and former sidekick of Barry Allen.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Speed Force Conduit**: After he was struck by a bolt of lightning and doused in chemicals, Wally gained a mainline-connection to the Speed Force, a mysterious cosmic force that pushes time and space itself forward. As it does this, the Speed Force creates excess energy that builds up and needs to be released. Wally, along with all speedsters connected, acts as a release valve for the Speed Force. When Wally uses his powers, he taps into that built up energy and expends it. Being a Speed Force Conduit radically accelerates all aspects of Wally's being. Due to his time trapped in the Speed Force, Wally has since gained a much stronger connection to it, and can tap into it much more than before, due to being adrift within its cosmic energies for so long. Wally has a deep, spiritual understanding of the Speed Force.
	+ **Superhuman Speed**: Wally is capable of moving at incredible superhuman speeds. He was able to cover 7,000 miles in 6.25 seconds, and even accelerate far beyond light-speed to the point of entering the Speed Force dimension. He is faster than both Superman (who can move at light-speed and react to an attosecond) and Barry Allen, having beaten both in separate races Wally was able to hit Ultraman hundreds of thousands of times before he could react. Wally is so fast that he had no problem moving at super-speed, even when time was frozen. After pushing himself, he was able to accelerate faster than thought, time, and even the Speed Force itself. His unrivaled connection to the Speed Force makes Wally the fastest being in existence. According to Tempus Fuginaut, Wally is the Fastest Being in the Multiverse, and his Speed is essentially Infinite. By reciting the Speed Force Formula, Wally can tap into the Speed Force in a different way, allowing him to move at beyond light speeds with no effort, making it appear as if time was frozen. He only uses the formula as a last resort, and was even able to share this speed boost with the Flash Family.
	+ **Superhuman Reflexes**: Wally possesses reflexes far greater than a normal human being. This allows him to easily react to danger and events, and perceive the world in slow motion.
	+ **Superhuman Stamina**: Wally's body can handle the stress of moving at superhuman speeds for extended periods of time without getting tired or weak. He ran for days on end, non-stop, while trying to look for his kids.
	+ **Superhuman Agility**: Wally's agility, balance and bodily coordination are enhanced to superhuman levels. This allows him to easily make sharp turns and leap far distances while moving at superhuman speed.
	+ **Superhuman Strength**: The Flash can use his speed to boast his natural strength, allowing him to easily carry multiple people while running at super speed. Wally's strength combined with his speed allowed him to hit Ultraman with the force of one hundred thousand punches, with one punch.
	+ **Speed Force Aura**: As explained by Barry Allen, a speedsters body is surrounded by a "friction cushion", which provides protection from the nastier elements of their speed, including friction, airborne particulate matter, kinetic impacts, G-Force and the like. It also allows speedsters like Wally to run at speeds faster than light without causing damage to the environment.
		- **Superhuman Durability**: Wally is capable of resisting tremendous kinetic impact forces that could easily crush or kill a human, without suffering any serious external or internal injuries, making him much more durable than any human.
	+ **Accelerated Healing**: Like all conduits of the Speed Force, Wally is capable of regenerating from injuries much faster than any normal human.
	+ **Aerokinesis**: By rotating his arms at super speed or running in a circular motion, Wally can manipulate the airflow around him to create strong vortexes of wind. Hawkman stated that when Wally and Barry ran around the world at immense speed, they created winds stronger than he had ever felt over all of his lives.
	+ **Dimensional Travel**: Wally is able to accelerate into the Speed Force by moving past light-speed. Entering the Speed Force is usually dangerous for speedsters since they need a "lightning rod" to ground them, or else they may become trapped.
	+ **Electrokinesis**: Wally can generate and manipulate the electrical energy that he draws from the Speed Force. This Speed Force lightning emanates off of him, especially when he moves at super-speed. The color of his lightning was originally yellow, although after escaping the Speed Force, the color turned white, due to his connection to the Speed Force growing stronger after being adrift within it for so long. Wally's lightning eventually evolved into an indigo-blue cosmic energy. When generated at high volumes, Wally's Speed Force energy is powerful enough to disrupt the Green, the Microverse and even Magic, as well as easily destroy Green Lantern constructs on contact.
		- **Electro-Blast**: Wally is capable of projecting powerful arcs and blasts of his Speed Force lightning. When Wally became emotionally overwhelmed, he temporarily lost control of the Speed Force and let out a large explosion of lightning, which was powerful enough to kill multiple metahumans.
		- **Energy Construct Creation**: Wally discovered if he concentrated, he could use the Speed Force to create solid energy constructs, which he used to compose his costume. He used this ability to reweave the molecules of his Kid Flash costume and construct a new Flash costume out of pure Speed Force energy.
		- **Energy Transformation**: When moving faster than light speed, Wally generates so much energy that he essentially becomes pure Speed Force energy.
		- **Healing**: Wally's lightning can heal the wounds of others, through contact. An arc of his lightning sealed a wound of Nightwing's, after he was impaled. Wally also once used his Speed Force energy to bring a dead flower back to life.
		- **Speed Force Absorption**: By interlocking energy currents, Wally can drain away the Speed Force, or Negative Speed Force, from other energy sources such as a Speed Force storm.
	+ **Enhanced Mental Process**: The Speed Force enhances Wally's mental capacity to levels greater than any normal human, allowing him to take in and process information at an accelerated rate. This allows Wally to read through large amounts of information at super-speed. He can think so fast that he is able to hold two separate thoughts at once.
	+ **Enhanced Senses**: The Speed Force grants Wally enhanced senses that allow him to perceive the world at a rate attuned to his reaction speed, as well as grants him extra temporal senses.
		- **Cosmic Awareness**: Wally's connection to the Speed Force also allows him to sense cosmic and temporal disturbances. He can sense when the flow of time has been manipulated, as well as channel the Speed Force and "listen to it", allowing him to sense things that are disrupting the space-time continuum.
	+ **Molecular Acceleration**: Wally can vibrate his own molecular structure at varying degrees for a number of purposes, by adjusting to different frequencies.
		- **Intangibility**: Wally can vibrate his molecular structure to an intangible state, allowing objects to pass through him.
		- **Phasing**: By vibrating his molecules on an atomic level, and by doing so at just the right frequency, Wally can phase through objects such as walls without damaging them. He can allow others to phase through an object with him by vibrating them through physical contact.
	+ **Sharing the Force**: When Wally used the Speed Force Formula to give himself a massive speed boost, he was able to share this speed with the rest of the Flash Family.
	+ **Speed Steal**: Wally can use the Speed Force to absorb the speed and/or momentum from anyone or anything. He demonstrated this by slowing down an explosion, and even taught Kid Flash to do this.
	+ **Time Stopping**: Wally developed the ability to stop the flow of time when he temporarily gained a heart condition. This power would kick in when his heart rate begins to rise too high from straining himself at super-speed. While stopping time, Wally has the same advantages of moving at super-speed, without needing to move fast at all.
	+ **Time Travel**: By running fast enough, Wally is able to jump into the timestream and travel throughout it, without the aid of a Cosmic Treadmill.

### Abilities

* **Computer Operation**
* **Multilingualism:** Along with his native English, Wally also speaks French.
* **Indomitable Will**: Wally's speed and will were capable of pushing back the desires against the Id, resisting an infinite possibilities of using its power, but enough to use it against the Cathexis.
* **Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced)**: Wally is a skilled combatant. He took on a speed powered Raijin and several Multiplex clones, by himself and beat them down. He was capable of defeating an entire army of vampires, as well as best a Vampire Ultraman, single-handedly. He even managed to handle fighting against the Retaliators, solo.
* **Indomitable Will**
