The Flash
admonition : coddler for The Flash # 49
A new Flash has entered the DC Universe and it ’s not one that anyone was await . DC Rebirth has restored the status quo when it comes to The Flash(es ) in its world . Since DC Rebirth # 1 , the title of Flash has been shared every bit between Barry Allen and his former brother Wally West .
Currently thoughBarry and Wally have been at odds during the arc " Flash War . " It ’s due to Barry and Wally ’s feud that has led to a huge shift in the commonwealth of all thing speedster . A new Flash has gestate and he ’s an old , very villainous figure of speech from Wally West ’s past .

The Flash War started because Wally was absorb to the future by his sometime archnemesis , Hunter Zolomon A.K.A. Zoom . Zoom gave Wally back the memories of his child , Irey and Jai , and told Wally they were trapped inside the Speed Force . Hunter explain to Wally that the only fashion to get his nestling back was to break the Speed Force and that ’s precisely what Wally did inThe Flash # 49 … kind of .
As anyone who has learn a comedian before or just has experience a story can probably infer , travel along the advice of a villain does n’t give Wally his happy ending . Wally does n’t end breaking the Speed Force . He does , however , break the Force Barrier . However , this still does n’t bring Irey , Jai or anyone else back to the real world . alternatively it gives Hunter Zolomon a whole host of new powers andtransforms him from Zoom to the True Flash . At least that ’s what Hunter believe himself to be . The man is a small unstable .
As Zoom , Hunter Zolomon had his power because he be " out of doors " of clock time . As The Flash , Hunter is now much more than just super tight . Hunter does n’t have the Speed Force at his command but the Sage Force and the Strength Force . The Sage Force commit Hunter what appear to be some telekinetic powers and the Strength Force , obviousl , gives him posture . In other word , Hunter Zolomon is the fresh Flash but he ’s also much stronger than Barry or Wally .
The reasonHunter require all this power is the same reason he ’s always want power . Orion wants to change his tragical past times and give himself the " life story he deserves . " Hunter believes that he can be the hero that Barry and Wally never were as The Flash . Yet , if his glowing red eye were n’t a big enough cue , Hunter is n’t move by as altruistic causes as either of the former newsbreak . This wo n’t go well for anyone but Hunter .
Obviously Hunter ’s stint as The Flash is n’t go to last . The DC Universe has had multiple news bulletin for class ; not just with Barry and Wally but also with the original Flash , Jay Garrick , and Barry ’s grandson from the futurity , Bart Allen . It would be potential to balance three or more Flashes in the DC Universe , if one of them was n’t Hunter Zolomon . The Flash War will in all probability finish with Wally figure out together with Barry once again to take down the monster of Wally own creation , the new Flash Hunter Zolomon . Hunter will be golden if he get a whole issue as The Flash .
The only real mystery is how much scathe hunting watch will do before Barry and Wally stop him . Orion has clearly been contrive this scheme for a foresightful time and he played Wally to a teeing ground . It would be a immense anticlimax if Flash War ends with Hunter putting his metaphoric seat between his legs and returning to the time to come ( or his own time in the present ) . The DC Universe timeline is probably going to get just a little bit more mixed up by the sentence Hunter is done being The Flash .
