The Flash: Three Generations

The Flash has always been one of my favorite super-heroes, because even though people always just write him off because he has the most obvious in superpowers. The Flash title has always been held by men who have upheld it with honor, courage and valor. The first Flash, Jay Garrick, fought crime during the 1940's, when the "world" was at its darkest and needed champions. Forced into retirement along with the other masked mystery-men by the government. Years passed, and the new heroes came. Barry Allen became the second Flash, taking his cue from a man who he had grown up respecting. After a time, he took on a sidekick, his nephew Wally, who became Kid Flash after going through the same accident that gave Barry his powers. When Barry died during Crisis on Infinite Earths, Wally became the new Flash, with Jay there to help and mentor him. Years later, Barry returned during the Final Crisis, to a new world. And now all three run forward, three generations of Flash, righting wrongs, saving the world, together.
