— Impulse

Irey West, also known as Impulse, was manifested in the Dark Multiverse by Wally West's fear that he would never see his family again.

History

Dark Multiverse

Irey and her twin brother, Jai, were trapped on the planet. Wally eventually found his children, only to learn that he couldn't destroy the planet on his own. He agreed to join with the Mobius Chair to save the Multiverse in exchange for Tempus Fuginaut to take Irey and Jai to Earth 0. He integrated them into Earth 0's history and they were reunited with their mother, Linda Park.

Legacy

In a possible future glimpsed by Doctor Manhattan, Irey joined the Flash Family and became a full fledged superhero and became the new Kid Flash.

Legion of Zoom

She and her brother later answered Max Mercury's call from the Speed Force to help him and the Flash Family battle the Legion of Zoom.
