Description

The Original Fastest Man Alive, the Crimson Comet.
Portrayed by:
John Wesley Shipp
Secret Origins: Studying on a double-major on physics and chemistry, Jay was working on an experiment during his junior year involving purifying 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, after having gained back conciusness, Jay discovered his body had been affected by the fumes, augmenting his physical attributes to eleven, giving him extra agility and the ability to run at supersonic speeds, Jay decided to use his powers to help people, being the first to take the name of the Flash.
The Crimson Comet: Jay during his carreer as the Flash was an active and one of the three founding members of the world's first superhuman team, the JSA, along with other metahumans like him up until the late 1980s when the JSA along with the Fantastic Four had dissapeared due to a mysterious incident, leaving only a depowered Jay and Wildcat.
After that event, Jay along with his wife Joan would move from their hometown to Keystone City, Kansas, changing his name to Max Crandall and living most of his adult life as a normal person. Eventually as he discovered his adopted sons had superhuman abilities of their own, his son particularly having super-speeds of his own, Jay turned to a friend of his, a fellow scientist by the name of Barry Allen, the man who had continued on the name and mantle of The Flash, during an incident at Horizon Labs that implied the Weather Wizard, Jay injected in his body a experimental super-speed drug to help Barry, unadvertedly kickstarting back his super-speed powers, along with his powers back, Jay decided to return to the superheroing carreer as the Flash.
Legacy: Though now he was much older than he once was when he started his carreer as the Flash, Jay was able to keep up alongside the likes of Barry Allen, his nephew Wally and even Jay's adopted son Pietro, being instrumental in events like the appearence of the speedster serial-killer known as Zoom to Gorilla Grodd's private war on Central City to eventually, Barry Allen's last hurrah as the Flash.
With Barry gone and him and Pietro being out of condition to take up the job, it would be Wally West whom would take up the mantle of the Flash.
Now with Wally starting on learning the ropes on being the new Flash and with the appearence of Barry's ''grandson'', Bart Allen aka Impulse, Jay took upon a new role which was that of a mentor, specially with the young Bart as he would become his legal guardian.
