Kid Flash


Name:
Wally West
Age: 
21

Species: 
Human
Gender: 
Male

Personality: 
Wally West is a clown and a goof ball. He's swift to quip and joke when the situation allows for it. Kid Flash is infamous for his constant barrage of lighthearted comments and inquires, usually bringing his team's morale up through sheer wit whenever the circumstances appear dire. The wisecracking speedster's behavior has proven a liability on occasion. A handful of poorly worded one-liners at an inopportune moment prove distracting and cause others to make mistakes. Wally's teammates have complained that his joking manner has threatened the success of multiple missions. 

Aside from his goofy nature, Kid Flash is a highly intelligent young hero with an affinity for cutting edge science. His fellow heroes have even gone so far as to call Wally a 'near genius' when it comes to such things as biology, physics and chemistry as well as a number of other fields. His love and devotion to science is so complete that, in the past, he refused to accept the existence of magic; instead, he tried to debunk and refute the thing's he saw with theories and cold, hard facts. Upon meeting Doctor Fate, however, Wally soon changed his tune. He's still skeptical, of course, but has an open mind when it comes to the mystic arts.

Kid Flash has been described as impatient, impulsive and reckless. He runs head long into danger and often finds himself in life threatening situations that could have easily been avoided if only he had an ounce of restraint. Wally's rashness peaks when someone else's life is in danger. He is driven to make irrational choices by his overactive emotions, usually in the defense of others he cares about.

As he has grown older, Wally West has somewhat matured. He is able to take things more seriously and knows (ordinarily) when to hold his tongue. Kid Flash puts more forethought into his processes and plans out encounters more thoroughly prior to running head long into combat.

Bio:
Kid Flash died saving the world. He vanished after adding his kinetic energy to the other Flashes', allowing them to deactivate the final Magnetic Field Disruptor that had entered its chrysalis form. The whole planet had mourned Wally's passing, and went so far as to erect a memorial in his honor. But Wally West, the Kid Flash, had not fallen. He was alive and well. The MFD had not erased the speedster from existence but instead teleported him across the Multiverse. Kid Flash found himself in the middle of a warzone. He didn't know it at the time, but the forces of the Resistance and the Reign of Chaos were clashing for control of all of creation. Wally retreated a safe distance and observed the battle until he was attacked by a massive stone golem. A group of human warriors rescued the estranged traveler and informed Wally of the present conflict. The speedster was instrumental in winning the battle for the Resistance, using his incredible speed to recon enemy artillery positions and key command structures as well as disarm various threats.

With the battle over, Kid Flash was transferred to a new universe to receive help. He was desperate to get home. When Wally arrived at Resistance Command he realized how common his problem was. People from all over the Multiverse had experienced the same event that Kid Flash had; that is, being forcefully brought to this sector by unknown forces. Resistance scientists were hard at work trying to track down the origin of this phenomena while other members were attempting to escort the refugees back home. When it came time for Wally to be taken to his earth, the Resistance discovered that the Reign of Chaos had occupied the universes surrounding Kid Flash's own. The fighting in that sector was the fiercest. It was then that Wally knew that he would not be returning to his family any time soon; not with this war raging. Hopefully Artemis doesn't grow to miss West too much while he is away.

Abilities:

Superhuman speed: Kid Flash is able to run at speeds up to the speed of sound, or mach 1. Wally is considerably slower than his mentor, the original flash. As such he is unable to perform more complex maneuvers such as vibrating his molecules to phase through objects. Wally West also requires time to accelerate and decelerate whenever he runs at high speeds rather than start and stop in the same spot. It has been suggested that some day he may reach the Flash's potential or even surpass it.

Accelerated healing: While not instantaneous, Kid Flash's body regenerates from damage faster than a normal human.

Superhuman endurance: Wally is able to tank extraordinary amounts of punishment without serious injury. However, attacks of sufficient power have been known to break Kid's bones and could do much worse if he allows it.

Superhuman reflexes: Wally's reflexes were enhanced with his speed. He can dodge and react to attacks easily. He is not able to complete intricate tasks at the same level of haste, however.

Gymnastics: Kid Flash learned a number of acrobatic moves from his best friend, Robin. He's light on his feet and rather agile, even at super speeds.

High intellect: Wally was a science prodigy with a naturally high IQ even before the experiment. Now, with his brain's processing power enhanced by the speed force, Kid Flash is a genius.
