Cobalt Blue is Malcolm Thawne, Barry Allen's twin brother who was stolen by Dr. Gilmore at birth and raised by the Thawnes, an abusive family of thieves. Eventually, Malcolm turned to sorcery to focus his jealousy, converting his wrath into a magic blue flame of incalculable power with which he could steal his brother's abilities as the Flash. Malcolm was granted access to the Blue Flame through a talisman given to him by his adoptive grandmother. By tapping into this object, he can access several abilities; like energy projection, power absorption, superhuman speed, and healing.

Cobalt Blue was created by Mark Waid and Brian Augustyn, first appearing in Speed Force #1 (1997).
