!!! '''Alter Ego:''' Alinta
!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''Future State: Teen Titans'' #1 (March, 2021)

An aboriginal Australian teenage girl with superspeed, Alinta's one of the first students of the ComicBook/TeenTitansAcademy. She's also a double amputee missing her legs below the knee, requiring her to wear prosthetics. Her codename is related to the fact she can only use bursts of Speed Force energy.

In a possible future, she is forced to become the Flash for Amanda Waller's "Justice Squad" on Earth-3.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Her parents ran stolen goods and Alinta delivered messages for them, unaware her mom and dad were criminals. When Alinta's folks pissed off the wrong people, they took Alinta's legs.
* DemotedToExtra: After her run-in with the Suicide Squad during ''Teen Titans Academy'', she barely appears or has any dialogue. She's not even present for the Red X's reveal.
* HandicappedBadass: She's a speedster who uses prosthetic legs.
* LegacyCharacter: Subverted. She shares a name with Blue Devil's archenemy Bolt (Larry Bolatinsky), but other than that she's got no connection to the man or his son Terry (Dreadbolt).
* NotWhatISignedUpFor: Amanda Waller demands Alinta answer to her stating Alinta owes her for getting her out of Australia. Alinta argues she doesn't owe Waller again and refuses to be her puppet.
* OnlyOneName: Her family name hasn't been revealed.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Her future self on the Justice Squad shares this with Superman (Conner Kent), showing the most vocal concern for her admittedly insane teammates, refusing to abandon them, and calling out Amanda Waller for her murderous depravity.
* WhiteSheep: She hints at coming from a family of criminals and tried to turn her life around by becoming a superhero.

!!! '''Alter Ego:''' Walter "Wally" West
!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''The Flash'' Vol 2 #150 (July, 1999)

Walter West is an alternate universe version of the Flash (Wally West). Walter West's life paralleled that of Wally West until the battle with Kobra which costs Linda Park's life. Walter was not able to save his Linda unlike Wally. Driven mad with grief at her loss, Walter embarked on a life of brutal enforcement against criminals crippling many until he encounters Wally and his Linda. Believing them dead, he travelled to their timeline to take Wally’s place, both as the Twin Cities' protector and on the Titans.

!!! '''Alter Ego:''' Judy Garrick
!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''The New Golden Age'' #1 (November, 2022)

The forgotten daughter of Jay and Joan Garrick, erased from everyone's memories for decades. Judy Garrick, a.k.a. "The Boom," would travel back in team from 1963 to have adventures with her father in the 1940s. She developed a quirky friendship with the Tortoise, the awkward son of the Turtle. Judy stopped teaming up with her dad in 1949, the year she was chronologically born.

She's since been held captive alongside nearly a dozen other teen and kid sidekicks of Golden Age heroes on an island controlled by someone known as "The Childminder."

* KidFromTheFuture: Born in 1949, by 1963 she would travel back in time to have adventures with her dad in the 40s.
* RememberTheNewGuy: The Garricks originally had no biological children due to Joan being infertile, and only briefly had an adopted son who died from Pneumonia. Now it appears they did have a biological daughter, but someone or something erased her from everyone's memories. Her ''Who's Who'' entry in ''The New Golden Age'' states she "first appeared" in ''Flash Comics'' #10.
* RetGone: The explanation for her existence is that some force plucked her out of time and made everyone, including her own parents, forget she ever existed.

!!! '''Alter Ego:''' Bar Torr/"Bart Allen"
!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''Teen Titans'' Vol 4 #1 (November, 2011)

In the early 21st Century, Bart Allen used his super-speed as the hero Kid Flash, one of the members of the Teen Titans. He initially had no memories and only recalled his name. In actuality, his name is Bar Torr and he's from the 31st Century, and he was sent back as a form of witness protection after helping stop a rebellion ''he'' started. While he uses the name Kid Flash, he's not associated with the Flash Family and isn't powered by the Speed Force. Not only that, but he doesn't even ''like'' the Flash.

* DarkSkinnedBlonde: An Australian aboriginal girl with dark skin and blonde hair.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Dyed to protect his identity.

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Beats Cobalt Blue to death for killing his wife and crippling his daughter Sela and slowing down her brain's electrical impulses to the point of being as slow as a sloth.

* DisabledBadass: She's a speedster who uses prosthetic legs.

* HeroicLineage: With one or a few excaption, it's a [[LegacyCharacter legacy]] of Wests and Allens.

* TheCasanova: Tries to woo Linda Park. It doesn't work.

* SuperSpeed

[[folder:'''The Flash''' of Earth-2]]

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: After terrible reception to him, an attempt was made to bring him back. However, by that point, the 2014 ''Flash'' TV series had began and plans were made to bring back Wally West as Kid Flash with an accompanying RaceLift to sync up with the show; Bar was put on a bus around the same time and hasn't been mentioned since, aside from a background appearance in ''The Flash/Speed Buggy'', and that was drawn by Brett Booth, who designed him and is very obviously not canon. Even later still, the original Bart Allen would return, making the chances of Bar's return as a member of the Flash Family even smaller.

!!! '''Alter Ego:''' Don and Dawn Allen
!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''Adventure Comics'' #373 (October, 1968)

Barry Allen's children from the 30th century (long story) who gained superspeed from their father. They're inspired to become heroes of the 30th century by Wally during one of his trips into the future. Don would later marry Meloni Thawne and father Bart Allen (Impulse/Kid Flash II/The Flash IV), while Dawn would marry Jeven Ognats and give birth to Jenni Ognats (XS).

* AdaptationalVillainy: Their ''Rebirth''-era counterparts became villains as a result of Barry's lack of parenting. Well, at least according to [[UnreliableNarrator Thawne]]. Unsurprisingly, [[spoiler:this eventually turns out to be more of Thawne's lies and manipulations]].
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: The twins return in ''The Flash Age'' working for Zoom. Turns out he's partially controlling them, but they return to their original time when it wears off.
* FieryRedhead: From the information given in ''The Life Story of the Flash'', we're meant to believe that Don was a subversion, and Dawn a straight example.
* PolarOppositeTwins: Don is levelheaded and rational, while Dawn is feisty and prefers to follow her instincts.
* {{Retcon}}: Originally, the twins were Barry's distant descendants; post-Crisis they became his children.
* SiblingRivalry: Not the two themselves, but both the twins and Wally specifically refer to this trope when referring to each other. The twins feel that Barry will always see Wally as his true son.
* StarCrossedLovers: Don and Meloni, since one was an Allen and the other a Thawne.
* SuperSpeed: Use it for making tornadoes to hide their identities hence the nickname Tornado Twins.
* ThemeTwinNaming
* UntoUsASonAndDaughterAreBorn

!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''The Flash'' Vol 2 #6 (November, 1987)

A trio of speedsters created by the Russian scientist Dr. Pytor Orloff, the Red Trinity defected with the doctor to the US, where they became a for-hire group called Kapitalist Kouriers.

* BackForTheDead: After being mostly absent for the Waid run, they return in "Dead Heat", only for Cassiopeia to be killed.
* BigGuyFatalitySyndrome: Cassiopeia is killed by Savitar in "Dead Heat".
* DefectorFromCommieLand: All three of them.
* FunnyForeigner: Their over-the-top attempts to be "American" are PlayedForLaughs.
* HeroicRussianEmigre: Though their over-the-top capitalism can come across as a bit callous.
* HuskyRusskie: Cassiopeia, TheBigGuy of the team, definitely fits this trope.
* NiceGuy: For all their...quirks, they're usually very friendly and cheerful.
* PunchClockHero: In their attempts to be more "American", they end up deciding the important thing is to make money, so they create a hero and delivery service where they hire out their abilities.

!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''The Flash'' Vol 2 #136 (April, 1998)

Wally's imaginary friend from his childhood, who turns out to be a real extra dimensional being from a dimension called Kwyzz, and a speedster as well.
----
* BackFromTheDead: Courtesy of the New 52 reboot, he is seen alive in ComicBook/{{Vibe}}'s solo book as a "breacher" held in captivity by ARGUS, who is later freed by Vibe.
* DarkSecret: It turns out the reason he's so effective in the cosmic races is he has his ''entire'' race running at the same time and is siphoning off their speed. Him cheating to win these races has saved his planet and their people, but has resulted in the deaths of all they've raced against (as the cosmic gamblers forcing them to compete execute the losing planet), and has essentially locked his entire people into slavery to keep them alive. As a result, he feels so guilty that he repeatedly helps Wally during their race and eventually confesses how he's been doing it.
* EnergyBeings: He and his entire world are made up of radio waves.
* HeroAntagonist: While he's racing against Wally, he's doing it because he has no other choice in order to save his world. As soon as there is an opportunity to save both worlds, he instantly joins up with Wally.
* HeroicSacrifice: Allows himself to be pulled into the Speed Force in order to empower Wally with enough speed to save Earth and Kwyzz.
* NotSoImaginaryFriend: Wally always believed he was imaginary, but he turns out to be a very real being from a dimension of radio waves.

A fifth generation Jupiter colonist. While he does possess super-speed, his very large girth (due to Jupiter's gravity being greater than of Earth's) slows him down.
----

* {{Acrofatic}}: Still relatively fast despite his girth.
* SuperSpeed: Obviously though [[{{Heavyworlder}} his weight]] makes it hard for Thondor to use his full potential.

[[Characters/TheFlash Back to the main The Flash characters index]]

* SecretIdentity: Like Wally, he disposed of his early in his career. However, once he crosses over into the mainstream DCU, he maintains one in order to hide from Abra Kadabra and to honour Wally's sacrifice. Initially, the only people he let in on it were Jay Garrick and Donna Troy.

* SuperSpeed: Obviously though his weight makes it hard for Thondor to use his full potential.
