The Red Death Armor is an advanced protective suit created and used by Ryan Wilder to operate with superhuman speed.
History[edit | hide | hide all]
Rogue War[edit | hide]
Mining data from The Flash Suit, Ryan Wilder, the Red Death, was able to create an Artificial Speed Force for herself and made an armor to contain the power. With superhuman speed, Wilder became capable of capturing a criminal before they could even commit the crime, essentially eliminating crime from Gotham City. This led to a conflict between the Red Death and The Flash, and the former being stranded in a different timeline.[1]

Wilder continued to wear the armor in the different timeline, terrorizing Central City. However, Wilder briefly removed the armor and remotely piloted it while she attempted to convince Iris West-Allen to join her side to calm The Flash of her timeline. West-Allen refused to do so, and held Wilder at gun point. Wilder then summoned the armor from her lair, suiting up as the Red Death and bringing West-Allen to the lair.[1]
