American superhero media franchise it is also a shared universe that revolves around various interconnected television series based on DC Comics superhero characters these shows mainly air on the CW as well as web series on CW seed with the flash being one of the most prominent superheroes in the arrowverse it is not much of a surprise that the black flash also plays a major role in it one of the few bad guys who appear on many CW episodes including crossing over between series is the black flash his debut occurred in the season 2 finale of The Flash where the time wraiths pulled Hunter zolomon into the speed force where he was changed into the black flash in the arrowverse universe the black flash serves a similar purpose to his comic book counterpart hunting out speedsters who try to obstruct the time stream's normal flow to balance the speed force and establish themselves as the fastest Spirit Alive the actual black flash is a ghost that appears this passionate and without remorse it all started when James and Ashley zolomon gave birth to a little boy named hunter in Central City Hunter then 11 years old saw his father assaulting his mother and demanding respect after serving in the war of the Americas when he went downstairs Ashley urged Hunter to go after spotting him but James grabbed him and pulled him in front of Ashley handing Hunter the solar helmet while making him watch as his father killed his mother James was soon imprisoned and Hunter was then placed in an orphanage because none of his relatives wanted to adopt him when he was older Hunter started working on a method to purify heavy water without residual radiation under the pretense that he was a scientist with a sizable solo business who specialized in chemistry and physics Hunter did show scientific aptitude as he was the one who developed the velocity serums since seeing his mother killed Hunter acquired a bloodlust that led to his becoming a serial killer after being apprehended at last Hunter was found guilty on 23 counts of murder and committed to the Saint Perez mental hospital for the criminally insane Hunter however was impacted while receiving daily electroshock therapy when Harrison wells's particle accelerator detonated sending waves of dark matter through the city and granting him the ability to move at super speed Hunter decided to utilize his abilities to torment Central City because he was still consumed by an unquenchable bloodlust Hunter was not happy with the speed he possessed at that point and created one of the first velocity serums to dramatically boost his Speedster power since he was either too impatient or emotionally broken to increase it naturally once he had enough speed he changed his name to zoom and became a villain he led 15 officers of the Central City Police Department on Earth 2 into a trap as one of his first violent acts to show his strength and that he couldn't be stopped all the officers were brutally slain by Zoom leaving only one to live to tell the tale after Harry in the officer's account Zoom went back to the man's house later that evening and killed himself there as well Zoom got his nickname as a result of the account provided by the last living officer despite being effective at making him quicker the velocity pill had serious adverse effects and gave him a fatal sickness Hunter's lightning also turned blue from the velocity medication Hunter set out to search the Multiverse for a cure in a desperate attempt to save himself no matter how many people perished in the process he engaged in combat with another Speedster at the same moment in an effort to absorb his speed after defeating the Speedster he attempted to absorb the man's speed but was unsuccessful he thus imprisoned the man and covered his face with a mask that stopped him from speaking or using his speed at this point he made the decision to pose as a hero in order to offer the populace false hope he adopted the name and Alter Ego of the Speedster Jay Garrick and cleaned up Hunter adopted a new identity and began acting as a superhero under the name the flash he defended Central City as flash against several other meta-human criminals including as Adam Smasher sand demon and Dr Light in addition he got a statue constructed in his honor for his work as flash Hunter quickly discovered that time wraiths terrifying creatures dedicated to punishing speedsters who abused their time travel abilities were pursuing him relentlessly nevertheless he continued to use time remnants but he would be more cautious while changing the chronology however little did he know that it would be these time wraiths that would suck him in and turn him into the black flash whatever punishment Hunter received after being taken by the time reads back into the speed force is unknown but it likely caused him to lose what little sanity he had left and turn his body into an undead State akin to that of the time raids he was turned into a vicious monstrous Speedster known as the black flash who is motivated by a passion for blood and uses a newly discovered ability ability to feel how other speedsters are using the speed force he was sentenced to serve at the speed Force's will for all time he eventually came out of the speed force as a monster Speedster Hunter who was out to kill any Speedster who dared to tamper with time wherever in the Multiverse he was a much more potent weapon than any time wraith and a speedster's worst nightmare in the arrowverse since ayobard and Barry returned to 2016 after the flashpoint reality was erased to a future where ayobard wasn't supposed to exist and was therefore a paradoxical threat the speed force sent the black flash to track out the reverse flash the Demonic Speedster began to track and pursue ayobard furiously across time outpacing him right away however ayobard was able to construct an alarm that would sound anytime black flash came nearby allowing ayobar to just about unrun it but preventing him from standing still for an extended period of time eventually in 1927 black flash detected ayobard's presence but the Renegade speeds took off before he could locate ayobard still persistent black flash tracked Malcolm Merlin AKA Dark Archer Damien dark and ayobard to a Zurich Bank in January 2025. black flash stormed in blindly searching the entire bank but was unable to lock onto eobard since he was suppressing the use of the speed force rendering him invisible the black flash but it could still detect that ayobard was still present in the bank Malcolm and Damien used arrows and swords to divert black flash from aobard's location as he started to get closer ayobard then punched black flash into a bank safe which Malcolm then locked ayobard and his companions escaped knowing black flash wouldn't stay in prison for long eventually the black flash carried on looking for the reverse flash before his Masters abruptly ordered him back to the speed force during this time Barry had gone into the speed force in an effort to save Wally West Wally attempted to escape but the speed force forbade it and sent the black flash to battle The Flash who was helping Wally throughout the speed force vision of Star Labs the Demonic Speedster brutally combated flash flash immediately detected the undead Speedster and made an elevator escaped attempt flash was thrown back out before black flash could catch him pitting flash to the ground the speed force agent instructed flash on how to save Wally and issued a final command at which point black flash started sapping Barry of his life force understanding this flash took off the chest Insignia and slammed it upon black Flash's chest briefly banishing him in a burst of white light you can never really banish death and the black flash came back to continue his search for the reverse flash after his altercation with Barry Ray Palmer was able to divert airbar long enough for black flash to come close enough for ayobard's watch to detect him when ayobard escaped from the wave Rider's Brig and was ready to go look for the fourth component of the Spear of Destiny Albert had no time to search for the fragment and escaped before black flash arrived ayobard probably tried to restore his paradoxical condition when a group of time-traveling super villains was able to get the Spear of Destiny and modify reality itself but this effort was in vain because black flash continued to exist in the syndicate's new reality then black flash was locked up in a secret cell inside the cortex of Star Labs ayobard was confident that despite black Flash's constant attempts to escape he would ultimately give up eventually Sarah Lance used the Spear of Destiny to counteract its own abilities erasing the syndicate's other reality and inadvertently freeing black flash from captivity black flash then sped to ayobard's position in 1916. ayobard had abandoned the early warning system in the parallel universe due to his conceit which prevented him from realizing black flash was nearby until it was too late reverse flash tried to flee as he watched in horror as the black-clad spectral Speedster appeared on the horizon the black flash outran him grabbed ayobard by the throat and viciously faded his hand through his chest completely destroying his Target's heart and expunging ayobard along with his time remnants completely from existence after momentarily stopping in front of Sarah to Roar in her face black flash sped off having successfully carried out the speed Force's command later the speed force sends the black flash after savitar who fails to assassinate Iris West in 2017 creating a paradoxical future in which savitar never existed black flash moved fast to eliminate the Erin time Remnant from existence because he was determined to stop savitar from splicing himself across time and preventing his Erasure from the timeline to help halt the enormous Speedster killer frost was brought by savitar because he was aware of black flash killer frost attacked black flash as soon as he emerged from the speed force but he was able to effortlessly avoid the strikes killer frost sent a second icy blast black flash as he rushed for savitar while speeding toward the two freezing and shattering the monster Speedster but is he really dead can you even kill death that remains to be seen post this in the new Multiverse zoom's meta-human gang appeared to have acquired their abilities from a singularity in the earth Prime timeline as opposed to being an alien and Invasion Army the men Apocalypse was still used to refer to their Invasion Hunter continued to take up the identity of the black flash seeking down eventually capturing and vaporizing ayobard like he had done on Earth 1. hence it can be seen that as black flash in the arrowverse hunter lost what little sanity he still had and became a wild speechless entity who ayobard Thon now describes as being much worse than a Time wraith he was now reduced to mindlessly pursuing rogue's beasters like ayobard only able to identify them by detecting the most recent application of speed force and appearing to be blind without it though highly hostile Hunter's metamorphosis into black flash also robbed him of his anti-social Tendencies he now has the little interest in anyone who isn't his Target rendering him ultimately harmless to everyone else the first major Comic Book appearance explored in the flash number 138 from June 1998 the black flash made his very first appearance on the final page of the three-part the human race storyline as a brief Cameo the plot involved a race between the electric extraterrestrial crackle and Wally West's Flash The Cosmic gamblers who threatened to endanger the Winner's World organized the race by defeating the cosmic gamblers The Flash and crackle say both of their worlds at the conclusion of the tale it is then made clear that the flash or Wally West is reciting this tale to a group of young children before leaving for the day the black flash is subtly introduced in the final panel when a shadow in the image is seen however the First full appearance of the black flash who was created by Grant Morrison Mark Miller and Ron Wagner was in The Flash comic issue number 141 in in 1998 the gruesome Speedster was an anachronism of the fastest man alive and operated from within the speed force as his name would imply Wally West and a few other speedsters would see him since he served as a sort of speed force Grim Reaper for those who drew energy from it when they passed away the black flash was visible to Barry Allen and Johnny quick and he repeatedly threatened to take the lives of others during their missions let's take a look at his debut comic storyline in a plot line of the same name as himself the black flash pursues Wally West following the events of the human race in the very first page of the comic we see black flash almost catching up with Wally Wally details how none of the great speedsters that came before him stood a chance when faced with the personification of death itself in the form of the black flash Barry Allen Wally's predecessor Johnny quick a hero from the Golden Age and even savitar the founder of a super speed cult and the self-style god of motion all met their deaths at the hands of the black flash and now he was coming for Wally Wally considers himself to be a walking dead man since he believes that once the black flash targets a Speedster he will not rest until he completes his task we quickly learned that the black flash has consumed Linda Park Wally's girlfriend into the speed force itself murdering her however this incident also resulted in Wally losing his Speedster Powers the comic book details information about the black flash and how he can slow everyone and everything that is not connected to the speed force down to be able to pick out all the speedsters one by one all of this is being shown to us while Wally is actively on the run from the black flash who has returned to complete his work after the heartbreaking burial of Wally's girlfriend who ended up dying in place of him Wally keeps trying to evade the black flash hiding in and sliding down luggage shoots but knows in his heart that evading the black flash won't work he was simply buying more time and prolonging the inevitable in the midst of this Chase Max Mercury and Jesse quick two more speedsters and Wally's friends show up to help him they managed to save Wally before he is actually kidnapped by death Wally is able to elude the evil Speedster for a time with the aid of his Pals they pull various tactics to try and distract him or Dodge away from him but in the end Wally realizes that there is no escape from Death there is a lot of existential crises shown in this comic it is mostly Wally musing about the inevitability of death and how it cannot be reasoned with its job was to just come chase down the one that had to die and take them over to the other side while he hides and Muses about death his friends get absolutely slaughtered by the speed demon outside and it all finally gets too much for Wally who cannot bear to watch his friends get beaten up just to save him they start racking their brains and realize that since they cannot physically overpower him or defeat him per se in any way the only solution is to contain him they start hatching a plan on how to trap the terrifying entity so that they can lock him up and then deal with him properly suddenly taking all the responsibility on his own shoulders Wally goes all the way to end of time where death has no meaning and the black flash does exactly what Wally expected him to do and that is to follow him the black Flash races behind Wally thinking Wally would outrun him they whiz past continents and oceans and then start running through time 50 years turns into 800 million years as flash approaches the end of time with death breathing down his neck while the black flash comfortably keeps up pace with Wally the moment he reaches the end of time he loses all of his strength and vanishes completely since well at the End of Time death has no meaning and black flash is literally the personification of death in order to save Linda Wally then puts his life in danger Once More by re-entering the speed force however in true flash fashion he emerges from the speed force unscathed with Linda in his arms brought title style all's well that ends well the black flash was shown as an extremely terrifying and ominous presence in this comic book and that Persona has stuck with him in all of his appearances post this one a brief appearance in legends of tomorrow in live-action TV shows set in the arrowverse there is a rather interesting variation of the black flash according to the storyline in order to repair the present timeline and eliminate ayobard Thon otherwise known as reverse flash who was mistakenly brought back into existence by Barry Allen's construction of the flashpoint timeline the black flash follows him throughout the second season of Legends of tomorrow he is a constant ominous presence tailing Thon in hopes of catching him and eliminating him due to this Thon decides to create the Legion of Doom and seek out the Spear of Destiny in a last-ditch effort to alter reality and save himself from his impending death at the hands of black flash in a positive turn of events Thon successfully executes his plans traps the black flash in STAR labs and holds him there however it does not end well for poor Thon as Sarah Lance undoes all his hard work and releases the black flash allowing the latter to delete thawn from existence before re-entering the speed force having completed his mission his presence in this season was like a large looming shadow of death and perfectly encapsulated the Persona of the black flash what makes him so powerful the black flash has a whole arsenal of powers and abilities that make him such a formidable enemy and opponent one of his most important Powers is the death touch simply put his death touch power allows him to kill any Speedster by simply touching them and phasing his hands into their chest he is not called the Grim Reaper of the speedsters for no reason after all being the herald of death for the speedsters he has the ability to sense the speed force in another Speedster system and thus is able to track them down he has always seen having a blue aura emanating from him whether he is running using super speed or standing still this was a result of him overusing the velocity drug as shown in the arrowverse TV series electricity manipulation is also one of his abilities via which he can control electricity simply by touching it like grabbing lightning Yes you heard me right literally grabbing lightning like it was an actual tangible object this character is definitely one of a kind he also had the power to physically kill humans deplete their life force and bring about their cellular deterioration he can also take in the speed force energy he injects himself with which will give him additional power he has an augmented mind which is one of his more intriguing gifts black flash has a very quick mind which enables him to digest information much more quickly than a typical person with his physical quickness and the capacity to perceive time as moving slowly he is able to think and act much before anyone in his immediate environment would be able to notice them superhuman speed also is not his only superhuman ability black Flash's senses and mental abilities are also strengthened by the speed force enabling him to follow and perceive the Motions of other speedsters even when he is not actually moving at super speed he can effortlessly exert immense power and force even without using his speed enough to carry fully grown humans over his head with only one arm without any strain or effort presumably because of his significantly strengthened connection to the speed force because of his 2 superhuman durability he was able to take a lot of punishment while yet being injured less frequently than other people and occasionally not at all black flash has incredible agility and can quickly change directions while moving at a high speed this enables him to turn quickly and sharply without slipping or losing his balance in addition to his super speed it enables him to LEAP higher and further perform acrobatic Maneuvers with ease while fighting and engage in confident Free Fall combat additionally his reaction speed was increased enabling him to act much more quickly than the typical person additionally he had superhuman momentum which allowed him to strike his opponents quickly and with great physical Force his body had superhuman stamina allowing it to work for much longer than a typical human being without growing fatigued or wheat even under the strain of superhuman racing like her beloved flash black flash is capable of moving quickly enough to tear Rifts in space-time enabling him to Traverse Through Time power that he frequently abuses Hunter may also recruit time remnants versions of himself from future timelines that were abandoned to help him with his plans by moving specific events through time Hunter like black flash is also capable of interdimensional travel since the latter was able to freely go between Earth 1 and Earth 2 using the breaches Between Worlds he achieved this he is also just an in general intimidating presence who is also not surprisingly an expert in hand-to-hand combat black flash commands an incredibly Dreadful presence that both adversaries and allies are terrified of because of his enormous strength savagery and demonic look his animalistic yet effective style makes use of his incredible speed and powers to go along with his Fierce appearance and disposition he is still greatly feared by speedsters like ayobard Thon in the arrowverse because he terrified him more than a Time wraith ever could the black flash is an all-round terrifying villain and his presence is ominous making a shiver go down your spine as a personification of death he comes across as a demonic enforcer of the speed force course and definitely add spice and tension to whichever storyline he has added to do you think the black flash has any scope of becoming an even bigger DC villain let us know in the comments section below and if you liked our content don't forget to leave a like And subscribe to us if you haven't already
