History
Citizen Abra was a revolutionary of the future. In the 64th century, Earth will be ruled by the Chronarch and the Central Clockworks, imposing strict order on its citizens. Abra, however, fought for individual thought and identity. He fled to the 20th century, and, using technology from his era, so advanced it appeared to be magic, became Abra Kadabra, foe of Barry Allen. He had an insane crave for applause and attention, and his exploits were always elaborate. One of his special trademarks was turning people into puppets. However, even though it was well within his power, Kadabra never attempted to kill the Flash or anyone else. Also, he was not smart enough to cast a spell on something he couldn't see. However, it was the fear of his potential that kept him out of the mainstream Rogues Gallery.

Wally West, who had lost his powers, and Mason Trollbridge, disguised as the Clipper fought him once in New York. Thinking that Wally still lived in his posh Long Island mansion, Kadabra went there to destroy it. However, it had since been bought by Chunk. Wally and Mason followed him there, and seemingly destroyed Kadabra in an explosion involving Mason's truck.

For a short time, he was brought back to the 64th century, and actually saved by the Flash, who then destroyed the Central Clockworks, overthrowing Chronarch. The results of this adventure caused him to hate Wally West much more than he hated Barry Allen.

Keystone police was in the process of transporting Kadabra to court when he made an escape from a straitjacket in the sealed van. He began monitor Flash's activities, and send street thugs out during Keystone's unusually hot Christmas season to keep Wally busy. He also learned of Allison Armitage, a lady who worked at the Valentine Galleria who was badly injured in Flash's fight with Razer. She blamed Flash for not saving her. Kadabra used C. Eric McCullough, a widely known trial lawyer, to lure her to trial, kidnapping his wife and son for incentive. He succeeded for awhile, causing Wally to become a fugitive of the law. However, Wally found McCullough's family and handed them over to the police, who then taped Kadabra's confession. In the ensuing fight, Wally ripped apart much of Kadabra's circuity, and when he tried escaping through a large puddle of water, and the electricity acring through his body went into one of the consoles on the wall, blowing up the warehouse which had been Kadabra's hideout. There was no trace of his body.

Kadabra did survive, however. He washed ashore outside Kobra's new Keystone headquarters, and hid among them, and waiting for his chance to kill the Flash. It came when Wally discovered the building, and Kadabra trappped him in the hologram lab in a web of laser fire, reflected by mirrors. However, his plan was foiled when his costume began to change as a result of a temporal anomaly. He and Wally were transported to the 64th century.
