Wally West (New Earth)

"*Life doesn't give us purpose, we give life purpose... That's what he always tells me. He came up with that himself and he was so proud of it.*"
―Wally West to Linda Park[src]
**Wallace Rudolph "Wally" West** is the **Flash**, having held the title after the death of Barry Allen. He gained his superpowers at the same time with Barry, allowing both of them access to the extradimensional plane of the Speed Force.

## Powers and abilities

### Powers

* **Speed Force conduit**: The incident which gave him and Barry Allen their superpowers granted him connection to the Speed Force, an extra-dimensional energy field.
	+ **Superhuman speed**: Wally is faster than Barry Allen and Superman
	+ **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 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 stamina**: Wally's body can handle the stress of moving at superhuman speeds for extended periods of time without getting tired or weak.
	+ **Superhuman strength**: 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 Darkseid with the force of one hundred thousand punches, with one punch.
	+ **Speed Force aura**: The speedsters are surrounded by a "friction cushion", a field of kinetic absorbent energy that protects him and anyone who is running with or carried by him from the rigorous effects of using his 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**: Thanks to his protective Speed Force aura, 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
	+ **Intangibility**:
	+ **Accelerated healing**:
	+ **Time-travel/Chronokinesis**: Wally is able to manipulate time, but chooses not to do it.
	+ **Interdimensional Travel**:
	+ **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.
		- **Electro-blast**: Wally is capable of projecting powerful arcs and blasts of his Speed Force lightning
	+ **Momentum negation**: Like Barry, Wally can come to a full stop.
	+ **Molecular occillation**:

## Trivia

* Original draft of *Justice League: The Anti-Life Equation - Part I* had him being killed by Darkseid, this was to eliminate any possibility of time travel as the filmmakers didn't want to use that and they feel the Justice League would suggest time travel to him.
	+ This was resolved to just having Wally not wanting to time travel, seeing as he is a great character and doesn't have to die.
