Krakkl is the defender of the radio frequency of Kwyzz and an ally of the Flash (Wally West).
History
When he was a child, Wally contacted the frequency of Radioland by accident. Trying to make sense of it, he thought the being "Krakkl" was his imaginary friend. He talked to him every day, tuning into the secret frequency.
Years later, alien entities calling themselves the Cosmic Gamblers reintroduced the two old friends, and at this time Wally learned all about Krakkl's dimension. They were forced to race each other by the gamblers, and the stakes were high: the loser's planet would be destroyed. Kwyzz had already outrun six champions when he faced Wally. He won by cheating: he discovered he could tap into the kinetic energy of his home planet for as long as its inhabitants could run with him. But he knew this would one day end, so he explained it to Wally.
Wally came up with a plan: he played the two gamblers against each other, betting that he could beat them to Earth - which lead them to bet against each other as well. Wally tapped into the kinetic energy of Earth, but Krakkl knew it was not enough. With only six billion runners against his 100 billion, he decided to give his speed to Wally. He sacrificed himself in the process, but Wally won the race and saved both their worlds.
