Day 30 - DC Character - Wally West

Wally West (Kid Flash and the 3rd Flash)

Apparently in the DC comics, Wally West has just been murdered and is possibly back from the dead. My only Wally is the Arrowverse one.

Wally is cute in the CW’s The Flash. The actor is Kelynan Lonsdale.

Wally West is a fictional superhero that appears in American comic books published by DC Comics. He is the third Flash and was the first Kid Flash. His power consists mainly of superhuman speed. He made his first appearance as Kid Flash in Flash 110 in 1959. Barry Allen dies in the crossover Crisis on Infinite Earths 8 (Nov. 1985) and Wally took up the mantle of the Flash in Crisis on Infinite Earths 12 (Mar. 1986), holding that role until 2009 in DC's main lineup. His physical appearance is generally a redhead with green eyes and is generally portrayed with a lighthearted, comic and caring personality. Wally has an important role as the Flash in DC Rebirth (2016).

In his debut as the Flash, Wally wears a distinct red and gold costume, traditionally storing the costume compressed inside a ring and later creating a costume directly out of Speed Force energy. He is the fastest character to take on the mantle of the Flash. In DC Rebirth, the Flash (Wally West) wears a red and silver costume and generates blue or white lightning to show that the Speed Force is inside him more than ever before.

In 2011, IGN ranked Wally West 8 on their list of the "Top 100 Super Heroes of All Time", ahead of any other speedsters, stating that "Wally West is one of the DCU's greatest heroes, even if he does not rank as the original Scarlet Speedster". In 2013, Wally West placed 6th on IGN's Top 25 Heroes of DC Comics.

Wally West has appeared in many forms of media, including the Justice League cartoons, in which he is voiced by Michael Rosenbaum. He also appeared in the 2010 TV show Young Justice as Kid Flash, voiced by Jason Spisak, and as the Flash in Justice League animated features such as Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, voiced by Josh Keaton. Wally made his live-action debut in the second season of The Flash, as portrayed by Keiynan Lonsdale. In this version Wally is the younger brother of Iris West-Allen. He was also part of the main cast of the third season of Legends of Tomorrow.
