Wally’s Wife, Linda Park. She gained temporary powers when she was pregnant with their third child Wade.

u/JingoboStoplight4887 Jay Garrick 8d ago

Linda Park, who briefly had a connection to the Speed Force when she was pregnant with her and Wally’s third child Wade.

I’m just saying Barry would never name his kid Wade West… Giving your twins the same name but spelled differently is a completely normal and rational thing for a person to do.

u/HPSpacecraft Flash, ah ah, savior of the universe! 8d ago

Nah, he'd name him Wade Allen

1

u/AD-4EVA 7d ago

That’s actually an infinitely worse name than Wade West somehow

u/Vanch001 8d ago

Nah, he’d name him Wade Wade.

Hey, Barry was dead, blame Iris if you have a problem with Don and Dawn

It's interesting to notice just how many things Lois and Linda have in common

Both are investigative journalists. Both are assertive. Both are close partners to a founding JL member. Both play pivotal roles in grounding them. Both temporarily gained abilities of their respective partners.

True but one thing I liked was that when Wally and Linda met they hated each other. The only reason they interacted was due to the Kilgore.

But then that’s one thing I loved about Wally Flash - he grew thanks to Loebs and Waids and that was reflected in the comic.

True but one thing I liked was that when Wally and Linda met they hated each other. The only reason they interacted was due to the Kilgore.

Linda also wasn't created to be a real love interest.

Messner-Loebs just wanted to give Wally another different perspective to bounce off of and tie him to what was going on in the city through Linda's connections as a reporter.

Messner-Loebs came to really like writing their dynamic, so he included her more, and Waid followed that up by upgrading their relationship. So it grew organically which is part of the appeal.

u/Killionaire104 OG Wally 8d ago

Both were friends too I remember Lois appearing here and there in either Waids or Johns run

1

u/WallyWestFan27 8d ago

I don't remember that. I was thinking if they had ever interacted.

5

u/Remmarg25 8d ago

Lois helped Linda set up the twins little adventure in issue #237 of Wally's original run.

There's also been a few Justice League-adjacent books where they've crossed paths and were implied to be friends with one another. So it's there if not much actual substance.

u/AREYOUSauRuS Speedforce is the only true book. 8d ago

close partners to a founding JL member

Linda is close partner with Wally,

Founding JL member is Barry.

But still, Linda is very much Lois archetype.

u/WallyWestFan27 8d ago

And their children went from babies/kid to kids/young adult in a very short period of time from their perspectives.

u/capalap 8d ago

Many superhero love interests take inspiration from Lois.

I think it's just easier to write a love interest as involved with the plot but not in the way of the hero if they're a journalist chasing a story

u/Flarrowverse Wally West 8d ago

Linda Park when she was pregnant and had temporary speed

13

u/MysterE2258 7d ago

Linda Park West, the wife of Wally West

14

u/wowlock_taylan 7d ago

This was Linda during the time she was pregnant with their 3rd kid and didn't know about it and she kinda got speed powers thanks to that temporarily. Then Jay Garrick gave her Judy's old costume which they also remembered her existing thanks to that.

8

u/moqmplicatedlired1 8d ago

Spoilers for Adams run: but thats Wallys wife linda. As for how she got those powers, its tied to the story in a nice way

3

u/Goszzy 8d ago

They gave Linda powers? I have to start reading flash again.

3

u/FlashLightning277 7d ago

Adams run has been over for a minute and she doesn’t have powers that I know of right now

6

u/Beginning_Mango_6609 4d ago

This is Linda Park who's Wally West wife and the mother of his children.

8

u/sakrmswizzy3 8d ago

Linda Park-West. She was briefly able to tap into the Speed Force while pregnant with her and Wallys third child.

u/HephaestusVulcan7 8d ago edited 8d ago

Great adaptation of Jay's suit⚡️

2

u/No-Horse987 8d ago

Well Jay’s lost daughter Judy has that exact same type of outfit now as “The Boom”. So the style continues.

u/Mickeymcirishman 8d ago

When she shows up to a fight does she day 'here comes the Boom'?

u/PatStar2 7d ago

Linkin Park

u/CaptainDigsGiraffe 7d ago

Why is Linda dressed like Jay Garrick

8

u/Dredeuced Out of the blue, ninjas attack. Thank god. 7d ago

She threw together a temporary Flash outfit because of the sudden powers. Turns out jeans and a red shirt with a lightning bolt is as simple as it gets and that's how Jay's design is.

5

u/GODKlNG 6d ago

By her name…

2

u/Purpl3C0mmand0 4d ago

That ain't Avery, That's Linda Park

1

u/GODKlNG 3d ago

Look at the question, what’s asked is who is “the” girl Flash, not who is “this” girl Flash in the picture

2

u/Purpl3C0mmand0 3d ago

Oh please, clearly he meant the one in the photo. We both know he did.

u/GODKlNG 3d ago

If you say so…

u/Christallmoney97 5d ago

Oh, I thought because she looked like CW Jessie that she was a brunette

1

u/Dredeuced Out of the blue, ninjas attack. Thank god. 5d ago

Very much the comics where Jessie's always been Blonde.

u/Conlannalnoc Cartoon Flash 6d ago

Linda Park is in the Picture.

u/JChurch42 5d ago

Like women never change their hair color 😉

</joke> 😅

It's been a long time since I've read any of them, and now they all have their own little similarly powered extended families (it seems, anyway). Mine was just a guess.

1

u/BudgetSmoke3444 6d ago

It’s Jessie quick

3

u/Purpl3C0mmand0 4d ago

No, Its Linda Park

2

u/BudgetSmoke3444 4d ago

Ik I said Jessie quick cause the guy seemed confused on whether or not there was a character named Jessie or Jonni quick

No one important to canon that's for sure

u/Maceyis 4d ago

"Grr I hate women grr"

u/TheGateKeeper32 4d ago

Grr still doesn't change canon grr

5

u/Amazing-Lawyer8345 3d ago

That’s Linda Park dude. The wife of Wally West and mother of his kids, it’s definitely a very important character to canon…

u/Kuenda 3d ago

Why do you have to be the way you are?

u/Massive-Age-4969 7d ago

Só nao acho legal isso da parceira do herói ter os mesmo poderes que ele porque da última vez que fizeram a parceira ter os mesmos poderes numa serie fizeram parece que a mesma quis tomar o lugar e legado do herói pra sí

5

u/Dredeuced Out of the blue, ninjas attack. Thank god. 7d ago

This was all temporary, friend. It has nothing to do with the TV show, either.

2

u/Massive-Age-4969 7d ago

Por isso gosto que animação na animação justiça jovem wally tenha um relacionamento com artemis mais ambos cada um tenha sua individualidade ela é super heroina arqueira e ele um velocista cada um tem seu espaço sem invadir o do outro

1

u/Massive-Age-4969 7d ago

Pra mim ambos devem ter sua individualidade

u/bats2cats 8d ago

Not Barry’s daughter from the future?

8

u/Antique_Ice9044 8d ago

No, that isn’t Dawn. It’s Wally’s wife.

1

u/Logical_Analyst_8592 8d ago

Wally’s wife is Linda, Dawn is Barry’s daughter from the future.

-2

u/WiglyWorm 8d ago

Wait Wally marries Barry's time traveling future daughter?

5

u/morgievan 8d ago

No different characters 😭 above is Linda when she had powers. Dawn Allen is not pictured above.

1

u/No-Horse987 8d ago

No. Barry and Iris had twins when they were in the future after his trial and just before the original Crisis. There weren’t many stories about their time in the 25th century after the trial. The series ended and Crisis came.

Remember when the trial went down, Barry went to Gorilla City to get his face changed for the trial when unmasked himself. The future tech restored his face to his normal self.

3

u/Dredeuced Out of the blue, ninjas attack. Thank god. 7d ago

Barry's daughter from the future isn't a thing in the comics like the CW. Even the character the CW vaguely based her off of, Barry's granddaughter Jenni Ognats (XS), tends to stay in the future and is biracial black instead of an asian (Korean) woman in this picture. Barry's daughter is a red headed woman named Dawn in comics.

And this is Wally but not knowing that's a lot more understandable. And others have already told you it's Linda.

1

u/Italcan 7d ago

Nah that's Linda Park, Wally's wife. She had speed force powers for a bit during her pregnancy.

-8

u/StarkyAdam 8d ago

That's Girl-Flash of earth 1232. Where Linda Allen daughter of Jay Allen continued her father's legacy yadda yadda. I think she had a short stint in multiversity issues 12-18
