Jay Garrick's Helmet (Earth-2: Pre-Crisis)

The Flash's Helmet is a winged-helmet worn by Jay Garrick during his activities as the vigilante, The Flash.

The Crimson Comet
Upon becoming a Metahuman, Jay Garrick became the vigilante known as The Flash, using his powers to travel back in time to World War II in order to fight the Nazis. The helmet was part of his original attire, which soon to become a symbol among heroes and villains.

Back in Action
After the rebirth of the Speed Force, Garrick was recharged with his powers and no longer required to hold a cane. Knowing Central City was under attack by an army of Godspeeds, Garrick donned the helmet once more, before being attacked by one of the soldiers.

Garrick was taken to the Zauriel Cathedral, where he was taken hostage and as bait until the arrival of Team Flash. The Flash, Impulse, and XS soon freed Garrick from the danger, with him acquiring his helmet before retreating.

To prepare for the coming battle, the Speed Force gave the speedsters a power boost, allowing Garrick to perform his helmet trick and knock out a group of Godspeeds with ease.

Erased Future
In a now-averted future in 2049, Garrick was killed in action by Godspeed, with his helmet put on display at the West-Allen Loft.

Possible Future
Eventually, Garrick travelled back to Earth-2 and rejoined the Justice Society, which had reformed to face their newly-reconstituted arch-enemies, the Injustice Society of America. On December 24, 2010, the team were lured into a battle at an abandoned mansion, during which The Flash was killed by Icicle. After the battle, his helmrt was placed in a memorial at the JSA headquarters by Pat Dugan.
