Height: 6'1
Weight: 175 lbs.
Eyes: Green
Hair: Brown
Appearance: Barry wears casual clothing, white sneakers, wide blue trousers and a white T-Shirt with a long-sleeved green shirt on top of it. On his right hand’s middle finger, he wears a Green Lantern ring which is completely depleted of energy and is thus useless, unless recharged. His red sunglasses are either hooked into his T-Shirt or to his trousers’ belt. Also by the side of his belt is a de-cel jumpline (shaped as Nightwing’s logo), but it is defunct.
Other Items: Within Barry’s backpack, he has an additional set of clothes (blue T-Shirt with the Superman logo, a pair of jeans, underwear and socks.) Unbeknownst to him, it also carries a Kid Flash costume, which is similar to the original worn by his father. To round it off, the backpack contains a JLA baseball cap, the ‘Buffy Gals’ Playboy special (starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Charisma Carpenter, Alyson Hannigan, Emma Caulfield and Eliza Dushku) and a pack of customised cards (of the original Teen Titans).

Powers: Barry possesses super-speed and the ability to vibrate through objects. Barry's powers mirror those of his father, with one major exception: Barry also has the ability to remember everything he reads at super-speed.

History:
Barry West was born to Wallace ‘Wally’ West (commonly known as the Flash) and Linda Park, together with his twin sister Iris. Both were named into homage of the second Flash, Barry Allen and his wife Iris. It was in a battle with the latest Zoom, that the by then still unborn twins were almost killed, but were lucky to survive.

Barry grew up amongst a crowd of superheroes, living either in Titans Tower, the JLA satellite, or home in Keystone City. It was in his teens that Barry’s powers emerged, and proceeded to be taught in the use of those powers by a variety of speedsters. Most notable were Max Mercury, teaching Barry how to vibrate through objects without making them explode, and Jay Garrick (the original Flash), who discovered that Barry could remember anything he read at super-speed.

For his 15th birthday, Barry was given a Green Lantern ring by Kyle Rayner, although he made sure that it was completely depleted. When the villain Brother Blood attempted to steal both Barry’s ring and that of Green Arrow, Connor Hawke, the fourth team of Teen Titans was founded, although Barry would heavily deny his founder status later. This team consisted of the latest sidekicks/wards (Red Hood, Aquagirl II, Kid Flash(es)) like the original team was. For that first mission, Barry and his sister Iris shared the Kid Flash name, but after the defeat of Brother Blood, Barry revoked the name and his membership in the Teen Titans, not caring to continue his fathers legacy.

It would be Barry’s crush on Jesse Quick that brought him back to the team a few weeks later, once again serving as Kid Flash, in order for the team to beat the recently resurrected Wildebeest society. He would run with the team for the next few missions because of his sister’s illness and inability to participate in super heroics. During that time he fell in love with Lian Harper (Red Hood), although she did not return the feeling at the time.

When Lian was later captured by Onomatopoeia, Barry was the one to ultimately come to her rescue and when the kidnapping left Lian emotionally insecure, the two went on a road trip together throughout America. Over the time the two fell in love, but during the end of their journey they broke up and parted as good friends.

The two returned to find both the Green Arrow and Flash families in turmoil, and the youngsters were chastised for their lack of responsibility. Angered over his father’s inability to understand, he ran away from home, just as he was teleported to become a member of the Watch, and after his sister put a Kid Flash costume in his backpack just to spite him.

History:
While attending a prestigious East Coast boarding school, young Warren Kenneth Worthington III sprouted wings from his shoulder blades. At first easily concealed, the abnormal appendages reached full size within months. Initially alarmed, Warren soon grew to relish the freedom of flight. Still, he strapped the wings tightly to his back to avoid suspicion. Warren was forced into action when fire struck his dormitory. Donning a blond wig and long nightshirt to conceal his identity, he delivered the students inside from certain death - appearing as an angel to eyewitnesses.

Despite the obvious risks - exposure, loss of social standing, or even death - Warren would not be grounded. Shortly after saving his classmates, he took up life as a costumed vigilante in New York City. The nocturnal activities of this so-called "Avenging Angel" drew the attention of Nick Fury, director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who had started to recruit superhumans for his government team, the Ultimates. Accepting the offer, Warren (his codename being shortened to Angel) became one of the team’s founders, together with Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Giant Man and Wasp.

After weeks of inactivity it seemed like the high-priced government team would end up fired, but (un)fortunately the Hulk went on a rampage throughout New York. The Ultimates were able to contain the Hulk and revert him to Bruce Banner, and the team was now publicly introduced as America’s greatest and only super team. The next threat to the group would be of a different nature however, as the domestic problems between Giant Man and the Wasp came to a head, and Giant Man ended up hitting his wife. With Wasp inactive and Giant Man having left both the Ultimates and New York, the Ultimates were left shorthanded.

There was also trouble for Warren himself, when the headquarters of his family’s company Worthington Industries was destroyed in the Hulk’s rampage, and the company was forced to sell itself to Stark Enterprises (Iron Man’s company), which led to some tension between Angel and Iron Man. Even with his family troubles, Angel accompanied Captain America to the Red Lion Pub in Chicago, Illinois, where the two confronted Giant Man on his beating of Wasp. The ensuing fight hit the news, and when rumors started to appear about Warren’s mutant heritage, Nick Fury was forced to fire Angel from the team, to avoid bad PR. Shortly after, Warren’s parents died, leaving Warren with a bit of inheritance money, and Warren ended up buying a low-key apartment in Los Angeles. Even his friends in the Ultimates decided to abandon him, leaving Warren in a perfect position to be approached by Charles Xavier, head of the Mutant Underground, a network of mutants hoping to ensure a world in which humans and mutants can live together.

Angel became a part of the Mutant Underground, and one of its main financial supporters. Slowly, with the help of the Mutant Underground, Warren started to rebuild Worthington Industries, as the Angel Corporation. Thanks to his family connections, Warren was able to ensure a place in the prestigious Hellfire Club, an elite group of powerful and wealthy people, and use this influence to restore the Worthington fortune. Eventually Warren was inducted into the Hellfire’s Club own elite group of insiders, known as the Inner Circle, where he was able to acquire the position of White King. Eventually Warren met old teammate Janet van Dyne (the Wasp) at one of the Hellfire Club parties, and the two rekindled their friendship. After this meeting, it was only a matter of time before Warren ran afoul of Tony Stark (the Iron Man) and the two ended up gambling, with Angel winning a bet that enabled him to buy back the Worthington Industries part of Stark Enterprises. Warren was now at the top of the game, his good name restored, as well as his family fortune and company, part of the highest social circle and with a great amount of influence in New York, while quietly sponsoring the Mutant Underground.

It didn’t take long before Angel was approached again by Nick Fury to rejoin the Ultimates, but Warren declined as a form of personal revenge. When personally requested by Janet van Dyne though, Warren was willing to return as the Angel. Soon, Angel started to clash though with some of his new teammates, namely Quicksilver and Wolverine, although he warmed up to new recruit Scarlet Witch (which was the foundation for his clash with Quicksilver). These confrontations ended with Warren’s second departure from the team, and while Angel flew away from the Ultimates HQ, he was approached by Dr. Stephen Strange to become a member of the Watch.
