Daniel West is the younger brother of Iris West and the father of the Kid Flash Wallace West. Daniel was a small time crook, until he was arrested by the Flash and released years later under parole. However, he was captured by Gorillas when they attacked the Gem Cities and was later rescued by the Rogues. In his attempt to escape, he crashed into Dr. Darwin Elias' stolen monorail car, which was powered by a Speed Force battery. The accident imbued him with Speed Force energy, transforming him into the third Reverse-Flash, after Hunter Zolomon and Eobard Thawne. Daniel West was created by Brian Buccellato and Francis Manapul, first appearing in The Flash (Volume 4) #0. (2012)
