Wallace West (character)
Wallace "Wally" West is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Originally introduced as a new interpretation of Wally West, as part of DC's The New 52 relaunch, the comic '' DC Rebirth'' #1 later established that he is, in fact, a new character of the same name, being Wally's cousin, both named after their great-grandfather. To avoid confusion, the character was renamed in later comics as Wallace West. The character was inspired by a desire to feature an African-American iteration of Wally West in the Arrowverse series '' The Flash'' following the similarly black Jesse L. Martin's and Candice Patton's respective castings as Joe and Iris West; ultimately, Keiynan Lonsdale was cast as the character, depicted as West's long-lost brother, and additionally reprising the role in '' Legends of Tomorrow'' and '' Supergirl''. Publication history The "reintroduction" of this character to DC Comics following its 2011 The New 52 reboot, which re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Speedster (fiction)
A Speedster is a character, primarily in superhero comics, whose powers primarily relate to superhuman speed (also known as superspeed). Primary abilities shared by all speedsters include running at speeds far in excess of human capability (to varying degrees) and resistance to the side effects (air resistance, inability to breathe, dynamic shock resulting from contact with objects at high speed, etc.) that result from such velocity. In almost all cases, speedsters can physically attack opponents by striking them at high speed, imparting great kinetic energy without themselves being harmed. A variety of other powers have been attributed to speedsters, depending on the story, their power's origin, and their universe's established continuity and rules. Plausibility and artistic license The use of speedsters in fiction requires artistic license due to the laws of physics that would prohibit such abilities. Moving at the speed of sound, for example, would create sonic booms that are u ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Harry Lampert, the original Flash first appeared in ''Flash Comics'' #1 (cover date January 1940/release month November 1939). Nicknamed "the Scarlet Speedster", all incarnations of the Flash possess "superspeed", which includes the ability to run, move, and think extremely fast, use superhuman reflexes, and seemingly violate certain Physical law, laws of physics.
