Hot Pursuit: A super-speedster whose origin is hardly known, Hot Pursuit and it's mantle holds the responsability of being the Speed Force's enforcer against rogue time-travellers and whoever tries to bend it's rules. This Hot Pursuit in particualr had met the Flash originally once Barry first attempted to go back in time and save his mother from her death at the hands of the Reverse Flash, stopping and explaining to Barry why they couldn't do so. Ever since, Hot Pursuit has served as the Speed Force's linch-pin and representative with it's users, mostly consisting of the Flash Family
Daniel West (Zoom): Barry's brother-in-law and father of current-Flash, Wally West, Daniel is Iris' older yet stranged brother. Formerly a blue-collar criminal, Danny was one of the few people who were caught in a surge-of-energy caused by the Flash and the Reverse Flash, but rather than giving him powers, Daniel was instead thrown inside the Speed Force. In there, Danny saw for months the potential he could achieve with it's power, slowly going crazy with it's power, thus, once he got out, Daniel decided to go on a serial-murder of every Speed Force user, including his sister's fiance Barry Allen. Thus, Daniel decided to take upon two identities, one being that of Mercury, taken from another prisioner of the Speed Force, Max Mercury, which he used to get close to Barry and Team Flash's operations. The other was that of Zoom, an almost-demonic maniac whom went arround for months killing speedsters arround Central City, up until he was eventually stopped by the Flash and Kid Flash (aka Wally West, Daniel's stranged son)
CCPD Staff: Some of Team Flash's allies on the trenches/the CCPD police department. Captain David Singh, the serious-minded boss of Barry Allen and eventually Wally West, Patty Spivot, Barry's crime-lab assistant and ex-girlfriend and Detective Darryl Frye, Barry's adoptive father, mentor and one of his original condadants once he became the Flash.
Iris West-Allen: Barry's girlfriend and eventual wife, Iris is a reporter for the Central City newspaper, the Daily Bugle. Once having met Barry during an investigation regarding a metahuman-bank robber under the name of the Turtle, Iris would grow into becoming one of Barry's personal confadants, be it by him being the Flash or as her husband. Once Barry died on a battle against the Reverse Flash, Iris would eventually grow into mentoring her nephew Wally alongside Jay Garrick once he became the new Flash.
Jay Garrick (The Flash I - 'Max Crandall'): The first man to ever take upon the mantle of the Flash, Jay became the 'Crimson Comet' after an incident while experimenting on Hard Water caused his lab to explode. The fumes of the explosion caused Jay's body chemistry to change, giving him the ability to run at super-speed. With this new found powers, Jay became the Flash and eventually one of the JSA's founding members (as well as one of it's few surviving members). Having lost his powers after the dissapearence of the JSA, Jay took upon a new identity as 'Max Crandall' and moved to Keystone City, KS alongside his wife Joan. Years later as he had approached the help of Barry Allen, the new Flash, in order to help his adoptive son on controling his new-found super-speed, an incident broke out in which Horizon Labs was atacked by the Weather Wizard. During this incident, Jay was given by Darwin Elias an experimental drug known as Velocity 8, which inadvertedly kickstarted back his powers, which he used in order to assist Barry. Now with his powers back, Jay took upon yet again his identity as the Flash, serving as a mentor to both Barry and eventually to Wally West once he became the new Flash.
Barry Allen (The Flash II): The Second Flash and Wally West's uncle/mentor, Barry gained his powers after the incident caused by the explosion of the Particle Accelerator at Horizon Labs caused Barry to be struck by lighting, rendering him into a comatose-state for 9 months. Once he woked up, Barry discovered his new found super-speed, as well as an offered made by his boss, Dr. Darwin Elias, in which Barry would be helped by Elias and Horizon Labs to further hone his powers as long as he helped Elias to gather information on the new uprising of Meta-Humans. Having accepted, Barry created alongside Cisco Ramon a suit made out of unstable molecules which would allow Barry protection while running at super-speeds, effectively ending upon with him taking upon the identity of his childhood hero, the Flash. During his carreer as the Scarlet Speedster, Barry gained many allies as well as enemmies, a carreer that would come to a close as Barry alongside his greatest foe, the Reverse Flash, dissapeared after one last battle, leaving the Flash mantle to Barry's protege, nephew and friend, Wally West.
Linda Park: A TV reporter whom Wally met during an altercation against the-newly-reformed Captain Cold, Wally and Linda's relationship didn't exactly start off on good terms, with Linda believing Wally to be a brash and arrogant inmature man (which wasn't very off from reality itself), however, Wally and Linda's relationship eventually grew, first becoming that of just friends to now being in a full-fledged romantic relationship.
Jessie Quick (Jessica Chambers): Daughter of former honorary members of the JSA, Johnny Quick and Liberty Belle, Jessie takes her powers through the matematical formula 3x2(9YZ)4A, a formula whom her father discovered it could allow him access to the powers from the Speed Force. Jessie used this formula as per to follow on her parents footsteps as a superheroine by joining Infinity Inc, a team of succesors and sons of the original JSA. Besides being a part of it, Jessie also became a member of Team Flash as per request of the new Flash, Wally West, in order to help Bart Allen on honing his abilitties.
Kid Flash II/Impulse (Bart Allen): Grandson of Barry Allen from a not-too-distant future, Bart was sent to the past by Iris West as per to stop his accelerated aging. In the past, Bart was helped by then-new Flash, Wally West, stopping his accelerated aging, however, Bart was now trapped in the past with no way back to his own time. Now stuck, Bart decided to make use of his time in the past, taking on Wally's former identity of Impulse. Eventually, Bart would take up a costume more akin to that of his 'uncle', being known now as the second 'Kid Flash'.
Quicksilver (Pietro Crandall - Maximoff): The stranged son of mutant-terrorist Magneto, Pietro alongside his sister were adopted by Jay Garrick (then using the name of 'Max Crandall'). Taught by Jay on how to use his powers once he came of age, Pietro became a member of the short-lived second incarnation of the Justice League alongside J'onn J'onzz, Zatanna, Cyborg, Black Panther, Green Arrow and Black Canary. Once his tenure was over there, Pietro continued on with his life, eventually coming against the likes of his father, Zoom and eventually the Reverse Flash.
Max Mercury ('Max Crandall'): The first-ever speedster in history, once a messenger for a fort in the American West, during an ambush caused by Max's new commander, the Blackfoot clan (whom Max had become close friends with) was decimated. Trying to protect his friends, Max was given his superspeed by the clan's shaman. With this new powers, Max took upon the identity of 'Mercury', helping to stop the rest of the Indians and they're reserves from being slaughtered. Eventually wanting to learn the source of his powers, Max became fascinated with the existance of a 'Speed Force', so to the point that during a test on trying to find a way to enter it, Max got stuck on it. Many years later, Max was eventually taken out of the Speed Force, however, he was instead taken captive yet again by the speedster-serial killer, Zoom, whom would take his identity and make it his own. Deprived from freedom for months, Max was eventually saved by Team Flash and given an opportunity to even join them, an offer which Max would decline, however, in case any of them needed him, Max Mercury would come up to the light once again.
Cisco Ramon (Vibe): The Flash's resident tech-guy, villain-namer and all-arround handy man, Cisco was one of Barry's co-workers on Horizon Labs during the unfortunate accident caused by the Particle Accelerator. After the accident caused most of the world population's to either generate superhuman abilitties or for their latent X-Gene to activate, Cisco stayed at Horizon in order to help these new 'Meta-Humans' to get proper help in case their powers would come to be harmfull to them or others. Eventually, as Barry Allen became the Flash and started his partnership with Horizon to help gather data on these Meta-Humans, Cisco became Team Flash's tech guy, builiding as many things including the likes of Barry/Wally's Flash suit. Eventually, Cisco would leave as he discovered he was a Mutant, moving to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters as the X-Men's mechanic, however, he'd continue to help the Flash's operations, even if it is from a far.
Horizon Labs' founders: The founder of Horizon Labs, Max Modell and Darwin Elias, the creator of the Particle Accelerator and Barry's mentor, these two men are the main backers behind the Flash and his team's operations, mostly on their funding and the providing of tech. While Modell had an intent on actually helping Barry, Darwin, once Barry became the Flash, had more of an goal on taking the power of the Speed Force and using it as per to boost his carreer, so to the point that he'd create and use a drug known as Velocity 9, however, he'd eventually be stopped and incarcerrated by Barry, ending his partnership with him.
Ralph and Sue Dibny: Two detectives for the CCPD and close-friends to Barry, after an incident relating to Sue's brother, Patrick, both Ralph and Pat were thrown into a bath of chemicals containing the substance known as Gingold. The substance caused a chemical reaction which caused the both of them to gain superpowers. While Patrick became known as Plastic Man, Ralph decided to make his identity public, using this powers alongside his wife in order to help them on their cases, being given the name of the Elongated Man. Eventually, Ralph and Sue would soon leave the CCPD in order to join a new organization Ralph had been invited on, Power Man and Iron Fist's new Heroes for Hire.

This is a pretty cool series you got.

I also liked that you have Hot Pursuit as well, and notably leaving it genderless so as to show that different people having taken up the mantle before.

Just curious, does Hot Pursuit still have the Cosmic Motorcycle in this version or not?
