Barry Allen and Jay Garrick FlashHe (or they) are the fastest man (or men) alive.
Jay Garrick
Jay Garrick was a college student who inhaled "heavy water" vapors. This gave him superhuman speed. Donning a red t-shirt with a lighting bolt on it and a metal helmet with wings (like that of Hermes), he became the Flash! He manage to keep his alter ego a secret by continually vibrating so fast all photos of him would be blurred. He was a founding member of the Justice Society of America. He became part of the modern continuity.
Barry Allen
He read comics about Jay (Barry and Jay existed in different parallel realities). He became a became a slow cop. One day, he was caring a case of chemicals and was struck by lightning. The chemicals split all over him giving him super speed. He donned a costume loosely based on that of Jay Garrick. He became founding member of the Justice League of America (loosely based on the Justice Society). He died in the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
