Tanaka Rei is the superhero Flash on Earth-D.

History

Tanaka is married and had at least two kids.

Some time after he became the Flash, Rei also joined a team of superheroes, like him, which came to be known as the Justice Alliance.

At the beginning of the Anti-Monitor Crisis, the Dark God himself sent his right hand, the being known as Outkast, to Earth-D in order to speed up the destruction of this universe. As the supervillain launched a massive attack on Moscow, along with his demonic minions, the Flash and the other members of the Justice Alliance came to the Russian city and began fighting against the invaders as they were also helped by the Mar Novu's resistence team from Earth-1. The group eventually managed to overhwelm the enemies and captured Outkast, taking him away from Rei's universe.

Later that day, Tanaka Rei was erased from existence along with Earth-D and its residents as the universe was annihilated by an antimatter wave that the Anti-Monitor had previously unleashed on the infinite realities. After the Spectre and the Paragons rebooted the Multiverse, Rei was presumably restored to the existence along with Earth-D and all the other destroyed realities and their residents.
