    ===Early Life===
    At some point, Ryan Wilder became a [[Metahumans (Earth-Prime)|Metahuman]] speedster and the hero known as the Red Death. She later encountered [[Barry Allen (Earth-Prime)|The Flash]] as his enemy and claims to have been disgraced by him, leading to her vowing revenge.<ref name="Hear No Evil">{{Ep|Hear No Evil}}</ref>
    In an alternate timeline where [[Bruce Wayne (Earth-Prime)|Bruce Wayne]] was never born, Ryan Wilder was adopted at mere days old by [[Thomas Wayne (Earth-Prime)|Thomas]] and [[Martha Wayne (Earth-Prime)|Martha Wayne]], who were both later murdered in an [[Crime Alley (Earth-Prime)|alley]]. This murder led Wilder to become a vigilante in [[Gotham City (Earth-Prime)|Gotham City]], better known as the "Red Death".<ref name="The Mask of the Red Death, Part 1"/>

    For ten years, Wilder, as the Red Death, locked up the dregs of society in [[Arkham Asylum (Earth-Prime)|Arkham Asylum]], including [[Tommy Elliot (Earth-Prime)|Hush]], [[Simon Hurt (Earth-Prime)|Simon Hurt]], and even her own [[Marquis Jet (Earth-Prime)|brother]]. However, their imprisonment did not hold them, as they escaped Arkham over and over again. Wilder then began studying the weapons of her enemies, designing a series of weapons with [[Wayne Technologies (Earth-Prime)|Wayne Technologies]] resources.

    Mining data from [[The Flash Suits (Earth-Prime)|The Flash Suit]], Wilder was able to create an [[Artificial Speed Force]] for herself and made an [[Red Death Armor (Earth-Prime)|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. The Flash then released his own enemies from [[Iron Heights Penitentiary (Earth-Prime)|Iron Heights Penitentiary]], working alongside them to take down Wilder and starting a [[Rogue War (Earth-Prime)|Rogue War]].<ref name="The Mask of the Red Death, Part 1"/>

    During the war, Wilder was held dead to rights at one point, with her mindlessly throwing a lightning bolt to defend herself. Unfortunately, the bolt accidentally hit [[Iris West-Allen (Earth-Prime)|Iris West-Allen]], her best friend, and killed her. Wilder then evaded to the [[Speed Force]], though was ejected out of it due to her inorganic speed and was stranded in a different timeline where the [[Ryan Wilder (Earth-Prime)|Ryan Wilder]] of the timeline became Batwoman.<ref name="The Mask of the Red Death, Part 1"/>

    After becoming destabilized and being unable to stop her cells from vibrating, Wilder hired several criminals, including [[Owen Mercer (Earth-Prime)|Captain Boomerang]] and the [[Andrea Wozzeck (Earth-Prime)|Fiddler]], to steal parts for a machine which would restabilize her, giving them improved weapons in return.<ref name="Hear No Evil"/> On February 1, 2023, the first such part, the power source of [[Kord Industries (Earth-Prime)|Kord Industries']] [[Roemer Accelerator (Earth-Prime)|Roemer Accelerator]], was successfully acquired by Captain Boomerang and was given to Wilder at her [[Red Death's Lair (Earth-Prime)|lair]].<ref name="Wednesday Ever After">{{Ep|Wednesday Ever After}}</ref>

    Hero of Earth

    For ten years, Wilder, as the Red Death, locked up the dregs of society in Arkham Asylum, including Hush, Simon Hurt, and even her own brother. However, their imprisonment did not hold them, as they escaped Arkham over and over again. Wilder then began studying the weapons of her enemies, designing a series of weapons with Wayne Technologies resources. Eventually, Wilder's studies expanded to her teammates in the Justice League, including The Flash.[1]

    Rogue War

    Mining data from The Flash Suit, Wilder 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. The Flash then released his own enemies from Iron Heights Penitentiary, working alongside them to take down Wilder and starting a Rogue War.[1]

    During the war, Wilder was held dead to rights at one point, with her mindlessly throwing a lightning bolt to defend herself.

    Red Death reveals herself to Captain Boomerang

    Upon her arrival in the different timeline, Wilder's body was destabilized and she was unable to stop her cells from vibrating. Wilder hired several criminals, including Captain Boomerang and the Fiddler, to steal parts for a machine which would restabilize her, giving them improved weapons from Wayne Technologies in return. On February 1, 2023, the first such part, the power source of Kord Industries' Roemer Accelerator, was successfully acquired by Captain Boomerang and was given to Wilder at her lair.[2][3]

    Next, she sent the Fiddler to retrieve Hartley Rathaway's Sonic Gauntlets. This resulted in failure the first time, which Wilder responded to by threatening Wozzeck's life if she failed again. During her second attempt, Wozzeck was defeated by The Flash, but was teleported away with the gauntlets by Captain Boomerang. With both components in their possession, Mercer activated the machine and successfully restabilized Wilder's body. She then sped across the city to a rooftop, where she swore to make Central City pay the price for The Flash's actions.[3]
