- Now that I'm back, I'll make this reality, and all realities, safe from this undead scum!

Wally West was Barry Allen's sidekick, Kid Flash, until he became the third Flash.
History
Wally West grew up admiring Central City's superhero, The Flash. Unbeknownst to him, the Flash's secret identity was actually his aunt Iris' fiancé. One summer, while going out with Barry, a lightning struck some chemicals that spilled over Wally, granting him the same powers that a similar accident had granted to the Flash some time ago. Since then, Wally became Kid Flash, the Flash's sidekick, until the fateful day of Barry's death. Since then, he decided to keep on the legacy and become The Flash. A cosmic event caused Wally to be vanished from existence. Forgotten by reality, Wally West fought against the odds to come back from the Speed Force and reclaim the love of his friends, and the title of The Flash.[1]
