Jay Garrick

Intro Jay Garrick is the Golden Age Flash, the original speedster hero from Earth-2. He is recognized for his modest demeanor and unwavering commitment to justice. Jay Garrick possesses the power of super-speed, granted to him by inhaling hard water vapor, and he uses this power to protect his city from crime and threats. Though not as arrogant or extroverted as his Silver Age counterpart, Jay displays a calm intelligence and is a valuable member of the Justice Society of America. He is known for his classic uniform, a winged helmet, and a lightning bolt emblem on his chest. Jay is a mentor to other speedsters, notably Wally West, and his relationship with his wife Joan, a powerful telepath, adds a deep emotional dimension to his character.
