Without his mentor, Wally took up the mantle and became the next Flash, eventually taking on Bart Allen as his sidekick. Wally went on to witness Barry Allen sacrifice himself to save the Multiverse. The team went on multiple adventures together and bonded as friends. Shortly after becoming a hero, Wally became a founding member of the original incarnation of the Teen Titans, alongside Robin (Dick Grayson), Aqualad (Garth), Omen, Speedy and Wonder Girl (Donna Troy). Unbeknownst to Wally, Barry Allen actually WAS the Flash and invited the boy to become his sidekick - the first Kid Flash. One day, while visiting Iris at her friend Barry Allen's CSI lab at the Central City Police Department, Wally was struck by a bolt of lightning and doused in chemicals just like the Flash was, which infused Wally with the power of a mysterious energy force called the Speed Force like his hero. As a child, he developed a fascination with the superhero The Flash, having no idea that the speedster knew his aunt Iris in Central City. Wally West, named after his grandfather, is the only son of Rudy and Mary West.
