The Flash - History



History
 

Flash - the fastest Man on earth! The first man who called himself FLASH was the Chemistry- and Physic student Jay Garrick. Jay got his speed through an accident which happend in one of his experiments. He went into coma, and when he wacked up again, he could move very fast! Jay was the founder of the first Justice Society of America (members were Green Lantern, Dr. Fate, Wonder Woman, Atom I, Sandman, Hourman, Hawkman and some more)...After World War II, the JSA was dissolved. After a while, Fiddler (enemy of Jay) was able to put Keystone (hometown of Jay) in a kind of moved dimension, which caused Keystone to be trapped in a timeless zone...This was the end of Jay Garrick, the first Flash, until he was saved by the next Flash...

  Barry Allen worked in a laboratory of the police in Central City, Missouri.The story of Barry Allen is the mostr tragic of them all...He got his forces when a lighting stroke in his Labor and Barry was covered with some chemicals from his laboratory. One of the first thing Barry did, was to free Keystone from the timeless zone it was trapped in (Barry was a big fan of Jay Garrick!). Barry founded together with Green Lantern, Black Canary, Aquaman and the Martian Manhunter the Justice League of America.

On of his most powerfull opponents was Dr. Eobard Thawne alias Professor Zoom from the future, the Reverse-Flash (or Negative Flash), who got his speed through futuristic technology. He even killed Barry's wife Iris West. Two years after Iris was dead, he started a relationship with Fiona. At their marriage, Dr. Zoom showed up and wanted to kill also Fiona. The only way Flash could stop this, was in killing Dr. Zoom. Barry Allen was accused of murder, and he was sentenced to death! But he was saved by the woman he thought she would be dead - Iris West. Iris was infact cloned before her death! When Barry finally thought, everything would be allright, Crisis on Infinite Earths started...
The whole world was near destruction. Flash could save the World, but he payed a very high price for it - he lost his life! Flash II, Barry Allen, was dead!
 
 
Now it was the time of Wally West, the most recent Flash. As young boy (10 or so), he went to visit his aunt Iris West, and there he met his big Idol Flash II. The story repeated itself, as Wally West was hit by a lighting, exactly like Barry Allen, in a laboratory...
  Wally West was for a long time Kid Flash, until Barry Allen died. This is when he decided to be FLASH III, in honour of his mentor FLASH II...But another tragedy happens - in ZERO HOUR, also Wally West dies...or?! The death of Wally West was not really his death, he just was so fast, that he reached a field of speed, and came back again in ZERO MONTH!
