The Flash is a well-established part of the DC Universe and remains one of the publisher’s most popular heroes. This popularity stems from his continued presence on his world’s premier superhero team, the Justice League, and can be confirmed by his presence in self-titled entries on both the big and small screens. Given the amount of fans The Flash has endeared, it’s no surprise his CW series gained a significant following in the years it was on the air. Although Barry Allen is the most well-known Flash, other versions have gained followings of their own. Some notable Flashes include the sidekick-turned-hero Wally West and Jay Garrick, who was the original Golden Age version of the Scarlet Speedster.Following his recurring appearances on the CW Arrowverse show, Jay Garrick’s The Flash has gained a more prominent presence in the comic book universe. In fact, DC recently released a Jay Garrick: The Flash miniseries that delves deeper into the hero’s past as a member of the world’s first superhero team, the Justice Society of America. The series, penned by superstar writer Jeremy Adams, offers a few surprises regarding what has previously been established about the original Flash. The series has reunited him with a long-lost daughter, while providing him with a forgotten nemesis. Jay Garrick: The Flash also makes a decidedly sinister alteration to his origin and the manner in which he first gained his superhuman abilities.Jay Garrick’s origin resembles that of later versions of The Flash, in that he was accidentally exposed to chemicals that granted him his super speed abilities. Issue #4 reinforces this, establishing that Garrick was the Professor Hughes’ lab assistant during his college years. The book then reveals that the Golden Age hero’s exposure to the chemicals was no accident. Hughes purposely orchestrated the incident in favor of expanding his questionable experiments to a human subject, and has besieged his subject as the villainous Doctor Elemental ever since.
