The Flash, real name Wally West, was the fastest man alive. A young and popular superhero from Central City, the Flash was a founding member of the Justice League. Apart from his vast speed powers, Wally's most significant qualities were his approachability and his down-to-earth, quintessentially human nature--qualities that many said made him the "heart of the Justice League".
A freak lab accident granted the Flash the ability to move and react at incredible speeds approaching that of light itself. He used his vast speed to defend Central City from many threats, including a considerable "Rogues' Gallery" of costumed criminals, and came to be a much-loved figure among the city's residents.
