Flash

The Flash acts much like his predecessor Wally West did, with an ego and flair for witty banter that's tempered by a sense of responsibility. He's a kind-hearted and fun-loving individual who hates to see others in pain or unhappy.

Appearance
The Flash wears a modified version of the Walter West "Dark Flash" costume, with the crimson and silver replaced by the more traditional scarlet and gold. When asked why he chose that design, he responded "I'm all for tradition, but this looks a little cooler."

History
Little is known about this new Scarlet Speedster. Like the new Superman, he arrived on the scene out of nowhere, protecting the Flash's former haunt of Keystone City. The only person who seems to know his identity is Bart Allen, former Kid Flash, with whom he's had regular contact with in secret (to everyone except Batman and Oracle). Upon his arrival, he joined the JLU, but seemed disappointed with the group, who he felt had become more about pushing political agendas than true heroism. When the new Man of Tomorrow showed up a month later and formed the Outsiders with Batman, Flash left the JLU and joined them in the blink of an eye (Quite literally. He was sitting with Batman and Superman before Booster Gold had even noticed the letter of resignation that appeared on his desk.) He and Superman are the barrier that protects the members of The Outsiders from President Kent, as he doesn't know their secret identities and thus can make no threats against their civilian personas, whereas his position as president makes him a prime target for humiliation on a superheroic scale.

Powers, Abilities, and Gear
The Flash possesses super-speed greater than any superhero. He was recently clocked at a charity event as achieving speeds close to the speed of light. He also has vibrational powers that allow him to phase through solid objects. Other than that, he possesses the strength and durability of a man his age who engages in regular strenuous exercise.
