Personality: A wisecracking smart guy who can come across as a total douche when you first meet him--mostly because he so often fails to think before speaking-- Wally is, in truth, one of the sweetest people you could ever meet. He’s a just big kid at heart, and to a certain degree, in body, as he’s one of the youngest in the League. He’s often trying his best to get his fellow Leaguers to accept that yes, he’s equal to, and just as powerful as the rest of them. This is perfectly true, and Wally demonstrates a surprising amount of self-control and responsibility when using his powers, as they can be highly dangerous.
Given his power, Wally’s first instinct in almost every situation is to run, but towards the danger and not away from it. What else would you expect from his brash and impulsive behaviour? Wally is, to put it in words that he would use, "totally a good guy". It’s his job to deal with the danger so the citizens he cares so much for don’t get hurt.
Wally can surprise people with how down-to-earth he can be, and his willingness to go out of his way to help people. He seemingly knows almost everyone in Central City by name, and likewise they all love him in return, since not only does he do the big things (beating the supervillains and saving the day), but he’ll do the small things too, like painting your fence. Not only that, he’s considered to be the heart of the League as well, the one that stops the others from becoming tyrants. Quite literally too, as in an alternate dimension where he died, they became overlords who kept crime to a minimum through absolute fear.
The Flash is often the comic relief, making nearly constant jokes and flippant remarks, and while he certainly enjoys playing the goofy doofus, he’s actually fairly intelligent. Usually. Despite being quite childish towards the start, he’s grown up and matured a bit, and is more sensible at the canon point I’m taking him from. That’s not to say that he doesn’t still act like a sweet-natured, hyper-active child, however.
Abilities and Weaknesses: Wally is a metahuman in the form of a speedster, that is, a person that can move at superspeeds. Just about able to break the speed of sound when he first got his powers, now he’s older and more in control of them, he runs at speeds approaching the speed of light. He also doesn’t get tired like a regular human would, considering he was able to run around the circumference of the earth nine times in a row.
He uses his speed for much more than running. For example, using his speed he can punch as hard as Superman, create whirlwinds by rotating his arms or spinning himself, and even vibrate his molecules so he can pass through solid objects, although the object will explode after from the kinetic energy.
The source of his power is something called the Speed Force, and it gives him a protective aura so that he, and anything he’s carrying (including people) wont by harmed as someone usually would be by moving at those speeds. A combination of the Speed Force, along with Wally’s sheer speed means that he can run across water, up and down walls, and even along ceilings.
He has no weapons, he doesn’t like or need them.
He doesn’t have too many weaknesses, but gravity is a big one. Amp up the gravity so he’s too heavy to move, and he’s not going anywhere. In reverse, if there’s no gravity, how on earth can he run? Food is also a big one, with a metabolism like his, he has consume so many more calories than a normal human just to survive. He is constantly hungry, and probably has been so ever since he got his powers. Starve a speedster, and they will suffer awfully.
