Iris West-Allen (Earth-1: Pre-Crisis)

"Keep trying to break me down...because I am not afraid of the woman that I am today."

- Iris West-Allen

Iris West-Allen (née West) is the owner of The Central City Citizen and the leader of Team Citizen. She is also a member of Team Flash and the wife of The Flash.

Early Life
"Do you remember when I first came back from college after freshman year? Yeah, I was living in my own apartment, and you moved back in with Joe. Yeah, it was great, for a while. I was waitressing and, um, making tips, trying to write my dissertation, but, after about a week, me and Dad started butting heads over the stupidest things. Me coming in late at night, him watching sports all day Saturday when I was trying to study. I mean, all we did was argue. I remember, Joe told me how bad he felt through all that. Yeah. And do you want to know why? Because when I left that fall, I really was his baby girl. But, when I got back, we were both adults. Different habits, different schedules. We weren't just... father and daughter anymore. Finding a new normal, between the two of you, is gonna take some time, and it may get pretty painful along the way. That's how relationships grow."

- Iris and Barry

After college freshmen year, Iris returned to her childhood home with her father and spent a fall together. They then started arguing over small things such as watching sports on Saturday while studying. She then realized it was due to her different habits after becoming an adult, which allowed the time with Joe to find a normal between them again.

Trapped in the Mirrorverse
In 2020, Iris started investigating Joseph Carver and his secret organization. After she discovered the secrets of the organization, Joseph sent Doctor Light to assassinate the members of Team Citizen. Luckily, Cecile Horton sensed the attack and protected them. Later, she talked to Joseph again to convince him not to sue the Citizen. Soon afterwards, Iris was kidnapped into the Mirroverse and she was replaced by a Reflection copy.

A day later, Iris met Eva McCulloch in the Mirroverse and they worked together to escape. However, she was unaware that Eva was using her to escape as well. Few weeks later, she discovered a small room behind the mirror of the building and realized Eva's true intentions. After Iris found out the truth, Eva tied her up and left the Mirrorverse. Iris soon found Kamilla Hwang in S.T.A.R. Labs in Mirrorverse and tried to escape with her. Eventually, Iris disappeared in a refraction of light.

Escape
After a series of attempts by Eva to break her mind, Iris was able to overcome the situation and rendezvous with Kamilla in Butler Plaza. The both then arrived in S.T.A.R. Labs and met David Singh. However, Singh and Kamilla's side effects caused by the Mirror Gun comes into effect. While trying to bring the both to the med lab, the Portal Machine opens and Barry arrives to bring her out. Despite Iris' refusal to return alone, she was eventually brought back and immediately fell unconscious.
