4. Dark Flash

If we're breaking down the list of comic book characters I love, The Flash would be cemented near the top. It doesn't matter whether we're talking about Barry, Wally, Jay, or Bart, I love all the Scarlet Speedsters. But today, we're talking about a different Flash. During Wally West's tenure as The Flash, he disappeared in a flash of light during a fight like he hit 88 mph and was replaced by a mysterious new Flash in a costume I actually think is pretty cool looking. This new, angrier Flash refused to unmask for Wally's friends and teammates and just seemed content to take his place on the JLA and the Titans.

When pressed, he revealed his true identity to be"¦ Walter West, an older, battle-scared Flash from an alternate universe. Walter eventually found love and redemption with the help of Wally once he returned, but he eventually had to return to his own universe. The final issue of the Dark Flash saga still gets me choked up to this day, and the final page is a killer. It just goes to show that redemption is within the reach of anyone. And also that red and silver look just like, so cool on a supersuit, you guys.

So cool.
