Kid Flash
Wallace West is a teenage speedster who discovered a connection to the Speed Force and took up the Kid Flash mantle, joining a new generation of heroes. He became a member of the relaunched Teen Titans, eager to prove himself as a hero in his own right rather than simply living in the shadow of those who bore the name before him.
Racing into the Modern Age with a debut in Teen Titans #1 (2016) — crafted by Benjamin Percy and JonBoy Meyers — Kid Flash burst onto the DC scene as part of a new generation of heroes ready to carry the torch. Sharing pages with heavy hitters like The Flash, Batman, Green Lantern, and Robin, this speedster runs in genuinely elite company, popping up across Teen Titans, The Flash, and Detective Comics throughout a publishing run that stretched well into the 2020s. With 39 catalog appearances spanning some of DC's most prominent titles, Kid Flash is a Modern Age figure who clearly earned a lasting place in the publisher's lineup rather than fading after a single arc. If you're tracing the evolution of DC's next wave of heroes, this is one worth chasing down.
