The Fastest Kid Alive!
Reputation
Kid Flash is an explosion onto the scene. As the known sidekick of the Scarlet Speedster, The Flash, this particular protege's presence can be felt all across the map. His speed is the stuff of legends and he'd be more than willing to sign an autograph if you can catch him.
As for Wally, he's about as known as any delinquent punk kid that has a good heart. He's a flirter and a talker, though he will jump into a fight if he needs to. Regardless, he's pretty well known for his blog/website dedicated to The Flash: scarletfever.org.
Biography
My name is Wally West and I'm faster than you. Like way faster, man. You don't even know.
Contrary to popular belief I was born in Central City. But when my punk ass father ran out on my Mom after I was born, we had to relocate to Blue Valley. Nebraska. I know, right? Home of the Nobody Cares. Anyway, Moms had family out there and it was just a bit easier to survive since we didn't have the help of my father. What a dick move, man, by the way. It was all good though because not everybody on my father's side was like him. Honestly? He seemed to be the one special nutcase. Figures, right? Regardless, I got to spend my summers with my Aunt Iris down in Central City. And I had a blast. I was always a sucker for the city life and Central City was the city in my life. And I ran those streets. Literally.
No, for once, somebody's using the word literally correctly, alright? I fell in with what some people would say are the wrong crowd. We hung out, broke this, vandalized that, ran from these cops… y'know, usual kid stuff. It wasn't ever a big deal. Uncle Joe was a cop so I became the prince of slaps on the wrist. Wasn't no way he was going to let his own blood go to jail for anything. I had it made. My life was headed nowhere fast but I didn't care. I was having a ball. Then? I saw The Flash.
It was Fanboy at first sight. Well, probably like fourth or fifth sight if you really want to get technical. I caught him in a rare moment of standing still and he looked like the greatest thing in the history of weird things going on in Central City. An instant fan, I took to the computer and started ScarletFever.org. A kick-ass blog, written by yours truly, that was all about The Flash and everything he stood for. It had profiles on his villains, information about him and about his heroics. It was better than Wikipedia! It still is! To this day, ScarletFever.org is the premiere site to get your Flash fix!
About my second year in high school is when I might've crossed a couple lines. I saw some bullies picking on some other dude and got involved. I shouldn't have but the little dude was helpless. Plus, I hate bullies. Anyway, we got into fight and it didn't end pretty. So my Mom sent me to live with my Aunt in Central City. Moving to the home turf of the Flash was like a dream come true. But I would soon find out that even bigger dreams can come true if you believe in them.
I was running the streets, as usual, when it happened. It was stormin' something crazy that night. I was, of course, somewhere I had no business being. Around some chemicals I ain't have no business being around. Lightning strikes out of the blue or somethin' and the next thing I know? It's a week later. That's right, somehow I managed to survive chemical poisoning and a direct bolt of lightning to the chest. Apparently, this was very similar to the birth of my favorite red clad superherro: The Flash. That's what he told me, anyway.
Yeah, you heard that right. When I woke up, there was The Flash. And a bunch of other people, I guess science geeks and whatever. They said things like 'lucky to be alive', 'destiny' and 'lightning strikes twice'. But I ain't know what was goin' on until I tried to move. And ended up on the other side of S.T.A.R. Labs. Where, apparently, The Flash was waiting for me? In case you don't get what I'm gettin' at: I got fast. Like super fast. Like Flash fast.
So here I am. Wally West. Kid Flash. One of the fastest men alive. And I've only got one question for you.
Wanna' race?

Character Details
Wally West is definitely a character. He's got a playful and sarcastic charm that seems to be what carries him through life. He's sort of a nonchalant sort that doesn't seem to be too worried about anything that may or may not be within his control. He's very much devoted to his own personal lifestyle and takes pride in being himself. He's got something of a problem with authority and various other issues that stem from being a street kid. He's very loyal and devoted to those he cares about, though, whether they be friends, family or anything else.
His entire demeanor is supercharged to mesh with his superhuman speed abilities. He's fast, impatient and extremely impulsive. His incredible powers have pushed his overconfidence into levels of cockiness that could prove to be both good and bad, depending on what's going on at the time. He's a bit of a showoff. Okay, he's an extreme showoff and he loves every minute of being a superhero. Because, really, who wouldn't?
Speed Force Conduit |
Wally West is one of the Fastest Flashes Alive. His accident with the lightning, as unorthodox as it may seem, was actually his body being merged with the entity that is sometimes referred to as the Speed Force. Unlike some other speedsters, Wally is a direct conduit to the Speed Force itself. This gives him access to the Speed Force in a way that is different than those that are simply powered by it.
Flash Fact: Being a Speed Force Conduit gives Wally a broader spectrum of abilities and Speed Stunts from which he can perform or has the potential to perform. He has the potential to become one of the fastest beings in existence, although, his current state is nowhere even near that line of thinking. This potential is just something that should be noted.
Skid Marks: The top speed that Wally maxes out at is Benchmark 11. In extreme plot driven cases, Wally can reach Benchmark 12. However, during states of play, Wally is more apt to live in the Benchmark 9/10 region. |
Decelerated Aging |
Since the accident, Wally West hasn't been aging at a normal rate. His aging has been slowed down to a crawl that cannot be realized through conventional or technological means. The words 'eternal youth' get tossed around when one speaks of the type of decelerated aging that comes along with the powers that Wally has been given. |
Speed Force |
Wally's accident and subsequent merger with a former Wally West of this universe has given him access to the Speed Force. Access to the Speed Force allows a person to move at superhuman speeds that are far and beyond the limits of mortals. Wally can move at supersonic speeds with relative ease and comfort. Pushing beyond that is possible, as well, allowing him to touch hypersonic speeds under life-threatening duress.
Flash Fact: The Speed Force's use can be applied to more than just his legs. Wally is capable of creating small vortexes or tornados with his speed, as well as some limited flight capabilities by spinning like a helicopter. He is fast enough to run in almost any situation or environment, including those that are frictionless. He's just that fast.
Skid Marks: The top speed that Wally will be using in scenes is Benchmark 11. For epic level Tinyplots and storytelling purposes there is a chance he could reach Benchmark 12. Using the Speed Force to fly will put Wally between Benchmarks 9 and 10 for a top flight speed. |
Speed Force Sharing |
Wally has the ability to temporarily lend the Speed Force to people or objects that are already in motion. This is a very limited ability and should be taken more as a boost in speed and velocity more than actually giving the Speed Force to someone or something else to use of its own accord. The effects are very temporary.
Skid Marks: The highest boost in speed that Wally can give a person or object at the present time is Benchmark 7. |
Speed Force Aura |
Thanks to being so connected to the Speed Force, when in motion, Wally is protected by what is often referred to as a Speed Force Aura. This aura protects him and anything he's touching from the ill effects of his movements at high speeds. Things like friction or particulate matter are nullified when impacting the aura. This aura also assists Wally in surviving impacts at such high speeds, including things such as punches and kicks, both to and from his enemies. Essentially, the Speed Force Aura is a way of absorbing kinetic energy to protect anything within it from harm. |
Superhuman Stamina |
Wally's accident has given him superhuman endurance to levels that can be considered near inexhaustible. He can exert himself at a level that is equal to running at his top speed for days at a time. It takes incredible levels of exertion for Wally to even begin to feel tired or even show signs of laboring, such as shortness of breath or even sweating.
Flash Fact: Wally's stamina levels refer to any and all physical activity, not just running. This allows him the possibility of simply outlasting his opponents in combat or even building entire structures by himself.
Skid Marks: Wally's baseline stamina comes in at a baseline benchmark of 11. |
Speed Force Sustenance |
Wally is capable of surviving in harsh environments, such as space and other such locations, without the need for breathing assistance or any kind of equipment. The word on the street is that he survives by feeding off the Speed Force itself, using the infinite energy there as a constant source of energy. |
Accelerated Perception |
Perhaps a bit of a misnomer but the thought behind this is the same. Wally moves at such a high rate of speed that he sees and views the world in a different state. His perception of things around him, whether it be people or objects, is directly linked to the rate of speed in which he's moving. In effect, the slower that he views the world, the faster his body moves to balance out his perceptions. This is what allows him to do more things in the blink of an eye than some people can do in a week. This accelerated perception is always what keeps Wally from having to deal with the normal hinderances of moving at high rates of speed. |
Artistic Expression |
Wally is a graffiti artist of some credible degree. He could, with the right focus and motivation, use his artistic ability for the powers of good. His drawing ability is top notch. However, his love for the art and delinquent nature seem to continuously hold him back from reaching his full potential.
Flash Fact: Wally's artistic side comes out the best in his graffiti and street art. While technically vandalism it does look pretty awesome. |
Mechanical Aptitude |
Wally has always had a natural knack for dealing with mechanical things. Whether it be old school lock mechanisms, cars or anything else with parts that move in a functional capacity, Wally has managed to have a natural affinity for dealing with them in a clever capacity.
Flash Fact: His hybrid nature has given Wally extensive knowledge and the prowess needed to use that knowledge in the field of applied mechanics to the best of his ability and then a step further.
Skid Marks: Wally's mechanical aptitude is rated somewhere between the Benchmarks of 5 and 6. |
Delinquency |
Not exactly a full on criminal, Wally does have a knack for delinquency and getting into trouble. He's got blanket knowledge of breaking and entering, petty theft, schemes and hustles and a variety of other lightly flavored juvenile activities that may or may not come in handy at random times. You never know when you're going to need a little sprinkle of crime to save the day, right? |
Street Scientist |
There's knowing the streets and then there's being a street scientist. Having spent most of his young running with the wrong crowds on what is commonly referred to as "The Streets", Wally is a bit more hip to the way things are done and handled in these kind of circles. This isn't to say that he's a master in knowing the criminal mind or anything, but he's very capable of understanding and relating to those that are of the criminal mind. He seems to be able to relate to them on a level that other heroes may not be able to. |
Street Acrobat |
As part of his 'delinquent status', one of Wally's premiere methods of escaping the law and authority was using the urban landscape as his playground. Through a combination of gymnastics, acrobatics and parkour, Wally has become very well versed in the art of street acrobatics. This makes him a very credible threat in areas that are of the urban style.
Flash Fact: Add Super Speed. |
Street Fighter Turbo |
Wally is a delinquent and a child of the streets. Therefore, his fighting style is more of a brawler than anyone with any actual fighting style or martial arts ability. Since his blessing of superhuman speed, Wally has managed to combine and incorporate his speed with his brawling ability and unorthodox fighting style.
Flash Fact: While using his speed to increase his rate of punches and kicks is obvious, there's also the chance that with increased speed, there can also be an increase in strength when applying his power to his fighting and brawling.
Skid Marks: With his max speed backing him up, Wally can strike with a force up to the Benchmark 9. |
Supercharged Brain Activity |
While it is not something that Wally uses often (or at all) his brain has been supercharged to extremely accelerated levels. Basically, his mind can work at speeds that are faster than some of the world's most advanced super computers. He's capable of performing mental tasks with incredible speed. His mind works on a level that is so much faster than what a normal brain is capable of achieving. However, it should be noted that Wally cannot retain what he learns at high speeds without taking the time to learn it normally. Pfft. Like he'll ever 'take his time'.
Flash Fact: Wally's supercharged brain does not make him a genius. In fact, his intellectual aptitude remains the same while his ability to process information and apply it has been accelerated greatly. While it is possible that he could use this ability to increase his learning curve, why? That wouldn't be half as much fun. |
Dimensional Hybrid |
Wally West is the combination of two Wally Wests. Through either fate or destiny, the existence of two Wally Wests in the same dimension with the same abilities has created a Dimensional Hybrid between the two. By combining the elements of both Wally Wests into the body of one, this creates a singular "version" to live within the 626 Dimension as the one and only Wally West. Although, elements of both versions seem to be present within the singular Wally West.
Flash Fact: This is an original 'Advantage' used in conjunction with the BG to explain the combining of two different Wally West characters and their existence in the same universe. Being a Dimensional Hybrid gives Wally involuntary access to memories, personality traits, knowledge or skills of both versions of Wally West. |
The Flash |
Barry Allen/The Flash is Wally's mentor. Kind of. They are speedster superhero partners. And they kick a whole lotta' ass before anyone even sees them. Regardless, while they may come from different sides of the tracks, they both share a common ground when it comes to wanting to make the world a better place. |
Central City |
Wally knows Central City in and out. From the good parts to the bad parts and everything in between. His knowledge expands from actual locations and navigational expertise to more street smart information. Wally can work his way through Central City with both physical and social ease. |
Lightning Bolt Ring |
Wally, as a fan of The Flash, has a gold lightning bolt ring that he never takes off. Since becoming a superhero, the ring has been modified to give off a tracking signal. It also doubles as a transceiver for communication purposes.
Flash Fact: The modifications were done by the S.T.A.R. Labs Central City team. |
Suit |
Wally's "Kid Flash" suit has been designed with optimum protection in mind. Capable of withstanding Wally's high speeds as well as impacts from such high speeds, flames gunfire, knives and even some explosive materials. The suit is made from a memory mesh polymer weave that can be twisted and crumpled in all sorts of ways, but still manage to retain its original shape. |
West |
The West Family is large and filled with everything from con artists to police officers to coffee shop workers. Overall, with a big family, there's always the chance that someone in that family is available to offer assistance to Wally in some form or fashion. Not that he'd ever ask for assistance or help. He's stubborn that way. |
Star Labs Central City |
Wally is connected to the S.T.A.R. Labs Central City by way of being connected to Barry. As his sidekick and protege, Wally gets the perks of being in with the team that helps Barry do his hero thing. Also, he helps them test out their wonderful toys. Mostly because he's fast enough to out run them if they don't work properly. |
Scarletfever.org |
Wally West's Flash Blog. Come here for everything Flash related. You won't be disappointed. |
Showboat |
A direct by product of being a cocky bastard that ends up with super powers, Wally has become something of a showboat. This makes him careless, at times and tends to make him take unnecessary risks during times of heroing. |
Impulsive Actions |
Wally doesn't exactly think before he acts. He was already an impulsive sort before he became a speedster. After gaining such power, he has only become even more so. Often jumping into the fray and attempting to be a hero even when the situation is clearly stacked against him. |
West |
If his family is in trouble, Wally will run around the world to help or save or protect them. Having people you care about while you're a superhero never tends to be a good thing. |
Identity Crisis |
If people were to find out that Wally West and Kid Flash were the same person there would be villainous pandemonium. It would become open season on anyone and everyone that Wally knows or cares about. He can't let that happen. He won't let that happen. |
Metabolic Needs |
Due to his extreme use of energy by being a speedster, Wally's metabolism has sped up to unfathomable levels. Therefore, his intake and consumption of food is vastly higher than someone his size and weight. |
Rogues |
The Flash has a lot of enemies. Kid Flash is the sidekick of The Flash. Therefore, Kid Flash has a lot of enemies. At any given point in time there's some crazed villain out there trying to or plotting to kill Kid Flash. But? They have to catch him first. |
Flash's Footsteps |
It's hard carving your own path when you're so tightly on the heels of one of the greatest superheroes ever. Some days will be better than others. |
Impatience |
Not that he was all that patient to begin with but with his recent acquisition of superhuman speed has made Wally even more impatient than usual. He often cannot wait for answers or for those that move slower than him to get into the mix. He wants what he wants and he wants it before he finishes thinking about it. |
Another Wally |
There was another Wally West. Not to say that both Wallys didn't exist at the same time. They did. However, once the possibility of both of them existing with the same exact powers and abilities, well, it would seem that the Speed Force wasn't okay with that. However, at times, Wally may have random memories, dreams or nightmares that may or may not belong to Another Wally. |
Girls |
Wally may have a little bit of an addiction to girls. He always already interested in them heavily but with his entire genetic code being supercharged, hormones included, Wally may not exactly do most of his thinking with his brain these days. |
