The Greatest Wally West Stories Ever Told! By Brian Cronin| May 21, 2010 @ 11:55 PM |33 Comments| Every day in May we will reveal the greatest stories ever told starring a particular character or written/drawn by a particular creator (and throughout the month, you’ll get daily chances to vote for NEXT week’s lists).
These lists are voted on by YOU, the reader! Here is the list of characters/creators featured so far (along with the rules on how to vote). Today’s list is the Greatest Wally West (who was Kid Flash and Flash) Stories Ever Told! Enjoy! I’m mixing things up a BIT this list by giving you the #11 choice, as well – I’ll let you know why later on… 11. This one-off issue by Mark Waid and Mike Wieringo spotlighted a major issue at the time for Wally – a storyline right before this issue involved a young woman blaming Wally for her severe injuries suffered while the Flash battled with a super-villain at the mall. This issue also introduced Bart Allen, in a shadowy cameo at the end. 10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. That’s the list! List of Flash enemies. Introduced in the Golden Age[edit] Fiddler[edit] The Fiddler (Isaac Bowin) first appeared in All-Flash #32 (December 1947/January 1948).He developed the ability to use his violin to play sounds that could either hypnotize others, shatter objects, or create barriers which would use to perform crimes.[1] The Fiddler's history was changed somewhat during the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Pre-Crisis explored him as a man that started out as a thief who was arrested in India and sent to jail. While in prison, he met a fakir, charming a snake in his cell, who taught him the "mystic art" of Indian music. For the next five years, he learned the fakir's secret and made a crude violin made of material he can scrounge in the prison. Clifford DeVoe (The Thinker)[edit] Clifford DeVoe' was a failed lawyer who bitterly ended his career in 1933. He was also a founding member of the Injustice Society of the World, in which position he captured the Flash. Rag Doll[edit] Shade[edit] The Rival[edit] Thorn[edit] Flash (comics)
The Flash is a name of a fictional comic book superhero from the DC Comics universe.
Created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Harry Lampert, the original Flash first appeared in Flash Comics #1 (January 1940).[1] The Flash first appeared in the Golden Age Flash Comics #1 (Jan. 1940), from All-American Publications, one of three companies that would eventually merge to form DC Comics. Created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Harry Lampert, this Flash was Jay Garrick, a college student who gained his speed through the inhalation of hard water vapors.
When re-introduced in the 1960s Garrick's origin was modified slightly, gaining his powers through exposure to heavy water. Jay Garrick was a popular character in the 1940s, supporting both Flash Comics and All-Flash Quarterly (later published bi-monthly as simply All-Flash); co-starring in Comic Cavalcade; and being a charter member of the Justice Society of America, the first superhero team, whose adventures ran in All Star Comics.
