Biography[edit | hide | hide all]
Creation[edit | hide]
In 2015, Hunter Zolomon created a time remnant of himself and turned him into The Flash of Earth-2. Later, Jay fought Hunter to give hope for the citizens of Central City, only for Hunter to take it away. Soon afterward, Jay became a well-known vigilante of Central City. However, after learning that Harrison Wells created of metahumans, Jay went to S.T.A.R. Labs and accused Dr. Wells of the crimes in public. However, Dr. Wells disagreed and Jay begged to make things right and help him stop Zoom. Dr. Wells told him Central City would be safe if he stopped Zoom and Jay sped off.
Travel to Earth-1[edit | hide]
On May 19, 2015, while Jay and Zoom fought, the singularity opened above them and Jay was pulled into it, which ended up on Earth-1. Months later, Jay was present during the Flash Day ceremony in Central City and later entered S.T.A.R. Labs' Central City Facility asking for Team Flash's help.[5]
