The Flash

I'll always have a soft spot for Wally West, thanks to amazing runs on the character by writers Mark Waid and Geoff Johns. Wally is one of the few characters in comics that we've been able to watch grow up, from a lonely child to an a-hole Republican teen to a married adult with two kids of his own. He has also used his speed powers in ways his predecessors never imagined.

In addition to having the coolest power ever, the Flash has plenty more going for him as a comic book character. He has a strong group of villains, a classic costume, a museum dedicated to his exploits, a time treadmill, and a strong sense of history and legacy.
