Actually, when I think of "Flash", I think of Wally West.

The Silver Age heroes are famous, but for those of us who are now in our 20s, and reading comics, Wally West and Kyle Rayner were the Flash and Green Lantern of our time. Red Tornado was... nobody. If you think about it, Wally West was the Flash for 22 years before Barry Allen came back. Hal Jordan was gone for 10 years between 1994 and 2004's Green Lantern: Rebirth.

The Modern Age is where it's at, and with the New 52, even that is over. :(
