About
As a boy, Jay Garrick used to read pulp magazine stories about super-hero, Whip Whirlwind. Little did he know that he would be granted the same powers of super speed. Jay would go to Midwestern University in Keystone City. He was double-majoring in chemistry and physics. An experiment he was working on during his junior year was to purify hard water without any residual radiation in a cyclotron. When a test tube of the hard water was accidentally spilled, the fumes knocked him out. His friend Elliot Shapiro dragged him from the lab. After a week of unconsciousness, Jay discovered his metabolism had dramatically increased by the accident, granting him super-human speed. Jay Garrick used his new-found speed to protect the innocent as The Flash, the fastest man alive.Jay wears his father's World War I helmet as part of his Flash costume. Sometimes useful as a weapon, Jay has used it as both a throwing disc and a shield as seen in the " 52" epic.
