The Black Flash is a comic book character from DC Comics. Created by writers Grant Morrison and Mark Millar, and artist Ron Wagner, the character had cameos in The Flash vol. 2 #138 (June 1998),[1] before appearing in full in The Flash vol. 2 #141 (September 1998).
Fictional character background
[edit]Original depiction
[edit]The Black Flash essentially fulfills the same role as Death for those who possess super-speed in the DC Universe, returning the speedster to their power source: the Speed Force. The Black Flash represents the Speed Force's dark aspect, with his connection to death being limited to those connected to the Speed Force.
The Black Flash comes for Wally West to draw back to the Speed Force, but instead takes Linda Park, who is struck by the lightning that was intended to kill Wally. The Black Flash later returns to try to take Wally again, freezing time except for those who possess a connection to the Speed Force. Wally defeats the Black Flash by racing him to the end of time, to a point where death has no meaning, causing the Black Flash to dissipate.
The Black Flash appears to Bart Allen when he loses his powers while battling the Rogues at the Getty Center. Shortly afterward, Bart is killed in battle with the Rogues.[2]
The Black Flash is sent hunting after the Force Barrier's destruction, killing Psych and attacking Steadfast and Fuerza.[3] Hunter Zolomon, enhanced with the Sage Force, Strength Force, and Still Force, takes Barry Allen into the Forever Force. The Black Flash chases down Barry and Zoom, hoping to heal the Speed Force. Zoom sacrifices himself to heal the Speed Force, trapping the Black Flash.[4]
Barry Allen
[edit]The second Black Flash is Barry Allen, who was transformed due to Eobard Thawne altering the Speed Force.[5]
Eobard Thawne
