Jay Garrick (Earth-3)

"We came together to find justice, not vengeance."

- Jay Garrick to the Justice Society

Jay Garrick is the vigilante known as The Flash. He was a former member of the Justice Society of America on Earth-2 before relocating to Earth-Prime and joining Team Flash.

Early life
At some point, Jay Garrick became a Metahuman and the vigilante known as The Flash. He later joined the Justice Society of America and during his time on the team, he banished Per Degaton to an alternate timeline and incarcerated The Thinker. He also married Joan Williams at some point in his life.

The Devil in the Shadows
After the death of Rebecca McNider, Jay attended her funeral alongside his fellow Justice Society members, Sylvester Pemberton, Ted Grant, Rex Tyler, John Thunder and Pat Dugan. Pat and Jay greeted each other before Jay went on to explain that the entity responsible is called Eclipso and that he was brought back from an island by an explorer named Bruce Gordon. They then noticed an argument between Charles and Myra McNider and turned to watch.

Some time later, Jay, alongside Sylvester, Ted and Rex, came down to the garage in the JSA headquarters. The group were holding a vote on whether to kill Bruce Gordon in order to defeat Eclipso and Jay asked Pat to be the deciding vote. Jay stated that Bruce was a victim of Eclipso and that the Justice Society came together to find justice rather than vengeance, and so voted no alongside Pat. However, they were outvoted by Ted, Rex, and Sylvester who felt it necessary to protect their families. Jay continued to protest this decision however, stating that he would not be a part of it.

Christmas Eve Battle
After the decision to kill Eclipso, the Justice Society began to break apart, with the members drifting away from each other over time. They eventually reformed after their arch-enemies, the Injustice Society of America, did the same, but they were never the same afterward.

On December 24, 2010, Jay and the rest of the Justice Society were lured into a battle at an abandoned mansion by the Injustice Society. He is currently believed to have died during the battle by the residents of Earth-2, but had actually travelled to Earth-Prime.

Godspeed War
Once on Earth-Prime, Jay and Joan began living in Keystone City. As he became older, he began to need to use a cane in order to walk at points.

After forty days, Jay's powers were restored due to increased Speed Force saturation, just in time to help Team Flash with an army of Godspeed clones that were attacking Central City. Once suited up however, he was confronted and kidnapped by a group of such clones in order to lure Bart Allen into a trap, as they were close in the future.

They took him to Zauriel Cathedral and began to siphon his Speed Force energy, draining him completely until Bart showed up. Bart was then attacked while Jay was lying unconscious until The Flash and XS arrived to help. Jay then woke up and helped Barry to get Bart out of the cathedral before Cisco Ramon arrived to trap the clones in a synthetic entropy trap. Some time later, Jay created a Neural Hyper-Collider to help Barry project his consciousness into August Heart's mind.

After leaving August's mind, Barry decided to call the Speed Force in for backup against the Godspeed army, who proceeded to amplify the natural speed of everyone in the room, including restoring Jay to full strength. During the fight, Jay charged his helmet with Speed Force energy and threw it at a group of Godspeed clones, knocking them all out. Despite their efforts, Team Flash failed to stop the clone army and so Barry made the decision to give Godspeed what he wanted, an organic Speed Force connection.

After giving Godspeed said organic Speed Force connection, Jay warned Barry that it was dangerous to face him, as he may have been faster than him after gaining a natural Speed Force connection and reabsorbing his clones, but Barry confronted him regardless. During the fight, Bart decided to go help his father, but Jay calmed him down and told him to trust Barry. After Godspeed's defeat, Jay and Joan attended Barry and Iris' vow renewal ceremony where Joan suggested that they should also renew their vows, to which Jay responded that he would marry her again in a heartbeat.

Possible Future
In a possible future, Jay became a mentor to Bart Allen alongside Barry and Wally West, being the only person who saw his impulsiveness as a strength rather than a weakness. Due to this, they formed a close relationship, to the point where Bart referred to him as “Uncle Jay”. In 2049, Jay was murdered by Godspeed in front of Bart, which left him traumatised.
