Inspired by The Flash, players will have the option to travel around the city at supersonic speeds in DC Universe Online and become nothing but a blur to all those they pass by. However, unlike some other superhero themed games, the concept of superspeed is taken a step further, and players will be able to run up walls and on ceilings to avoid getting hit. As if that weren't enough, traveling at superspeeds also impacts combat, and players will be able to pull off signature comic book moves like running around enemies, creating a whirlwind, and disorienting them.

We would be very upset if The Flash wasn't a part of DC Universe Online. Thankfully we don't have to worry about that prospect as Sony Online has confirmed that the Scarlet Speedster will indeed be seen in their upcoming super hero themed MMO.

This version of the Flash is Wally West who is actually the third person to have that title. Jay Garrick had the Flash name for the Golden Age of comics and in a major revamp Barry Allen took over during the Silver Age. Wally started out as Kid Flash and then took on the main Flash mantle after Barry Allen's "death" in the classic DC comic maxi series Crisis on Infinite Earths. However Barry just recently returned to life in the Final Crisis mini-series. The Flash also has one of the best collections of villains, including Captain Cold, Heatwave, Mirror Master, The Trickster. the Weather Wizard and The Flash's opposite number Zoom. Hopefully we will get to see The Flash in action in a DC Universe Online demo at E3.
