So with all this multiversity stuff going on it seems as though the only way our Wally will exist is in some out of the way side universe. (essentially Wall's being treated like G'Nort from Green lantern pre-Rebirth: stick him in a lifeless sector where he won't cause any trouble and forget he exists)
Personally I'm no great fan of this as it makes Wally way younger than any of his contemporaries (Roy and Dick Kory and Victor Stone are all in their 20's while wally is de-aged to around Tim Drake or eveen Damian Wayne's age)
And I'm not a racist but I really have a problem with shifting Wally's ethnicity just to play retro-political correctiveness for a defecit in equal opportunity super-power endowment 50 plus years ago.
that said, I do think we can have it both ways. we can still have our Classic Wally West and also have a new Black Kid Flash and I'm not talking about renaming him Bart either!
Instead, i think we should use a name and a character who has ties to the Flash universe already. Julio Mendez. (barry's Partner in the 1990 TV Series)
naturally a Time travel story will alter history which will cause both boys to be born
NuWally will be called Julio for the rest of this post
Barry is in his early 30's
Wally is in his Early 20's
Julio is in his early to mid teens
Follow:
Having only existed thus far in the TV universe Julio's New52 incarnation can be any age needed.
Julio's parentage can remain exactly as it is and even much of his story can remain as we have already seen it so far.
Wally and Julio are now half-Brothers.
Wally's Relationship with Linda is restored but without the kids
Wally having the name West is a few years older than julio.
Wally's father in the Post Crisis-Pre Flashpoint DCU wasn't the perfect role-model/husband/father
He worked for the Manhunters, was shown in Born to Run as having a wandering eye (and maybe more)
all that said it should come as no surprise that Julio was the product of New52 Rudy West's Infidelity
( a whole backstory as to how this came about can be expanded on later)
Wally Is now in his early twenties white, with red hair just as he had been prior to Flashpoint
He's a junior CSI under Barry in Central City
He gets his powers as I have outlined in my last post in the 52 ways to bring back Wally west thread
Wally II (now Julio) ios pretty much the same as he was. Iris is the only one julio has left in his life (Rudy basically kicked him and his Mom to the curb and Julio's Mom disappeared in the Crime sindicate's invasion)
Julio get's his powers as NuWally does as things currently stand
Julio's empowerment causes Wally to alter his uniform from an exact duplicate of Barry's to the shiny suit)
Julio will wear whatever NuWally ends up with.
Eventually the real Bart Allen (Barry Allen's future born grandson) will arrive in his Impulse identity and be Julio/Kid Flash's partner as Wally is Barry's
