Lore & Background

Wally West enters the Young Justice story as a teenager whose life is upended by the awakening of Speed Force abilities—powers that echo the legacy of his uncle, the Flash. His introduction is less a recruitment and more a recognition, as if the Speed Force itself had been waiting for him to catch up. His relationship with the Flash is a quiet, recurring thread.
