Chester P. Runk (Earth-1: Pre-Crisis)

Chester Phineas "Chuck" Runk (born July 5, 1991) is a scientist and later became a member of Team Flash.

Early life
When Chester is 11, he tried to build a hovercraft out of her grandmother's car. However, it failed and he sees it as his worst experience.

During Chester's sixth grade, he built a miniature copy of Millennium Falcon for his school's science fair. Due to rust in the intake valve, the copy did not fly and the teacher refused to let him fix the problem, saying people like him do not get second chances, which later became one of his greatest lessons.

At some point, Chester became a believer of Rao and worshipped him.

After the particle accelerator explosion and Grodd's first appearance, Chester decided him to be his favourite villain.

Becoming a Meta-Human
After one of his experiment went wrong, his body was infused with Dark Matter and became a Mera-Human. He was then saved by Team Flash and was placed in the MAC where Barry Allen would visit and talk to him.

Joining Team Flash
In 2020, Chester and Kamilla Hwang stood up as the mission control of Team Flash during Cisco Ramon's travel across the planet. They helped The Flash fight Hartley Rathaway, better known as Pied Piper. After the latter's escape, Barry returned to the facility to calculate the changes caused by the Crisis with the help of Gideon. Chester entered and saw Barry using his speed which made him know his secret identity. Chester then try to help but was refused by Barry due to him not being a member of the team. Chester then went to CC Jitters after Barry hurt his feelings.

Soon after his upgrades to Gideon, it malfunctioned and sent Barry to Grodd's mind. Chester refused to help as he was guilty at himself due to his tinkering sent Barry to Grodd's mind despite it did improved it. Frost then talked to him and told him that mistakes are valuable lessons. Chester then worked with her and allowed Barry to return safely.

After the chaos, Chester found Barry's parents, Henry and Nora's graves which Barry struggled to find. Barry apologized for his anger and invited him on the team. Chester accepted and aided Barry's later fight against Pied Piper soon after the latter's reappearance.
