61	* Creator/TangentComics Flash was a young girl called Lia Nelson who was composed of light.
62	* A ''re-imagining'' of the Flash exists in the ''[[ComicBook/JustImagineStanLeeCreatingTheDCUniverse Just Imagine...]]'' series. This version of the Flash is a college girl called Mary Maxwell who gains super speed after her father attempts to save her from a life-threatening disease that slowly drained her energy, by injecting her with hummingbird DNA.
63	* DC even has two FunnyAnimal versions of the Flash:
64	** The first was the Terrific Whatzit, a [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] comics character who's a turtle. TW had a power set similar to Johnny Quick's (super-speed, some flying ability) plus super-strength; he wore a costume similar to Jay Garrick's. Later stories showed he lived on the parallel world of Earth-C, and was the uncle of the [[ComicBook/CaptainCarrotAndHisAmazingZooCrew Zoo Crew's]] speedster Fastback.
65	** The second was the Crash, a member of the JLA (Just'a Lotta Animals) of Earth-C-Minus. The Crash was his world's version of the Flash (the [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] version), and thus had the same costume and powers as the Flash. In a variation on Barry Allen's backstory as well as the story "The Flash of Two Worlds," it's revealed that the Crash as a child had read his world's "fictional" comics about (Earth-C's) Terrific Whatzit.
66	* ''ComicBook/TheFlashTheFastestManAlive'': A ''Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse'' tie-in.
