◼ Speedforce Conduit
Doused in strange chemicals and struck by a bolt of lightning, Wally West transformed from an ordinary teenager to an avatar of a fundamental force of creation. It is momentum. It pushes time and space forward. Without it, reality as we understand it could not exist. It is the Speedforce: an unexplainable cosmic phenomena that stretches across universes. Wally West can feel a connection to other speedsters through the Speedforce- he can even hear their voices, on occasion- but he is too inexperienced with his abilities to reach out.

◼ Superhuman Speed
The principle power gifted to the Flash by the Speedforce is in its name: speed. When he channels the force everyone else might as well be standing still. He can count the wing beats of a hummingbird. Bullets fly at a snail's pace. Only a few beings have ever been able to keep up with him, and none so far have outpaced him. Fast as Wally is, though, he knows the consequences of complacence.

◼ Speedforce Aura
The 'aura' is an invisible field of energy drawing power from the Speedforce. It surrounds Wally's body, insulating him from friction, and manipulating sound and oxygen to function for him even at enormously hypersonic speeds. Kinetic energy passing into his body is also lessened, so as to stop him from shattering into pieces if he trips and flies into a wall at Mach 150. His subconscious is largely responsible for dictating what his aura filters and what it lets through; he understands but a fraction of its potential.

◼ Costume Ring 
Wally stores his costume inside a ring. The costume is compressed to fit inside thanks to metamaterials created by StarLabs, Barry Allen's employer on their old earth. The costume itself is durable, and designed to be repaired using almost any material. This 'smart clothing' transforms the attached material into more of itself.

Wally West is the nephew of Iris West, better known to the world as THE FLASH. Wally watched her die on national news when the Silver Surfer, the Herald of Darkseid, drove his fist through her heart. Boom tubes opened across the sky, and armies of parademons descended upon the world. The streets of Central City ran red. 

Wally couldn't just stand by and watch the world end. He sought out Harrison Wells, a verifiable genius and Iris's former mentor. Wally had a plan. A stupid, dangerous plan. Dr. Wells stood strongly opposed to it even as he strapped Wally to the very same chair Iris West had sat in before her accident. Within the walls of StarLabs, West and Wells replicated the event down to the smallest possible detail. 

It should've killed him. Instead, it connected him to the Speedforce. It transformed his every molecule into the perfect conduit for that cosmic power. Donning a version of his aunt's costume, Wally joined what heroes still lived in fighting for their world.

Superman. Spider-Woman. Thor. Big Barda. Vigilante. They were a strange, eclectic bunch, but they were earth's last line of defense. They were the JUSTICE LEAGUE.

They fought the good fight. Defeated the Herald, and brought the armies of darkness to their knees. But when Darkseid stepped down from his throne, the Justice League failed. Those that did not fall to the corruption of the Lord of Apokolips died at his hands. The Flash was the lone survivor of that fateful, final battle- because he ran. He was only a teenager then. A child thrown into an impossible situation and asked to rise to the challenge. 

He didn't. 

He ran.

Pain, sorrow and guilt rushed down to his very marrow. That cocktail of emotion fueled him as he ran and ran, gaining more speed than he could have possibly imagined. The Speedforce knew this was wrong. This was not the outcome ordained by fate. It carried Wally away. In a burst of impossible speed, it shunted him out of his doomed universe and into this one.

A shadow followed him through the Speedforce. It harrows his every step, taking the forms his guilty conscious most fears. It is judgement given form. It is death, black as midnight, and it will not rest until it finally catches up to him.

Here, in this new world, he's found a paradise. Everyone he once knew still lived and breathed. There was no alien conqueror looming on the horizon. It was a young earth full of heroes, full of potential. Wally knew this was his only chance to start over. He intends to make things right, if he can. To find those he hurt in his world and ensure they had a better future in this one.

I'm looking to apply for Wally West for a few reasons. Firstly, I wanted to write a second character that is as stark a contrast to Frank Castle as possible. Wally is young, joyful and driven to do genuine good. Even if his life is defined by tragedy, he strives to use his powers to help others. Its an archetype I enjoy, and I think Wally's quippy, lighthearted personality will be a nice break from the dourness of Punisher.

Secondly, I want to hearken back to one of my favorite runs from yesteryear, Sep's Iris West from Ultimate One. I really enjoyed his spin on the Flash mythos, and when I was mulling over how I wanted to play Wally, Sep's old run was the first thing that came to mind. Wally being the successor to that universe's Flash has a few advantages, in my opinion. 

With Barry, his and Wally's relationship deepened when Wally became Barry's sidekick. Wally got to learn how to be the Flash by working side by side with Barry for years before donning in the costume. Here, though? Iris is dead and a world away. He bears the responsibility of legacy without having an experienced Flash to lean on. They're flesh and blood. Losing her impacted him to his core. 

Since his arrival in our universe, Wally has tried to find a place for himself. He's desperate to make connections to this world's versions of his own family. There's one small problem, however: this world has its own Wally West. He's an ordinary high school senior preparing for university. Pretending to be this Wally so he can spend time with Iris and Barry has proved...challenging.
@Supermaxx
I feel like this is probably the biggest compliment someone has ever given me. 

Big shout-out to the fact you also took the time to message me about it, took time to go back and actually read the OG run of Iris-Flash. 

I don't know I just want to say nice things about you but I just woke up for a potty break so I'm failing.

Woo go Maxx. That's all I got.
