Sometime after he gained his powers, Jay began helping the public as a hero known as "the Flash", stylized as the "Crimson Comet". Little is known of Jay's early life, but given that his surname is Garrick rather than Allen like his Earth-1 doppelgänger, it's implied that Jay's father didn't play any role in his upbringing.Īt some point, Jay Garrick was given the power of superhuman speed through a connection to the Speed Force. However, Nora and Bart would later accidently cause "temporal fissures" which resulted in Jay surviving Godspeed's attack in the current timeline. At some point in this potential future, Jay was killed by Godspeed in front of Bart, causing Bart to seek revenge.

In a potential future, he is affectionately known as "Uncle Jay" to the Nora and Bart West-Allen, and acted as a mentor to the latter. After the events of the Anti-Monitor Crisis, Jay and Joan were restored on Earth-Prime and they began living in Keystone City. Jay would go on to remain as the Flash for another year until 2018 when a mission to help save Barry's Central City made him realize that it was time for him to retire and train a new Flash on his Earth to take over for him.Īt some point, Jay met and married Joan Williams after feeling a special connection with her. Barry later voluntarily took his place in the Speed Force, as the Speed Force prison had become unstable without an occupant. Thanks to Cisco Ramon, he was later freed from the Speed Force, returning and aiding Team Flash in Savitar's final defeat. He subsequently sacrificed himself and took Wally West's place in the Speed Force prison after Wally was tricked into freeing Savitar, thereby taking his place in said prison. Jay Garrick would work with Barry Allen, the Flash of Earth-1, in his fight against the speedster known as Savitar. After being rescued by Team Flash, Jay found his way back to Earth-3 with the help of Harry and Jesse Wells.

His name and mantle as the Flash were taken by Hunter to carry out facades as part of a plan to inspire false hope in Central City. Jay was found by Hunter Zolomon/Zoom, an evil meta-human speedster from Earth-2, and held as a prisoner in Hunter's lair on Earth-2, forced to wear an iron mask that dampened his powers. Jason "Jay" Garrick is a veteran speedster from Earth-3 and a vigilante known as the Flash, stylized as the Crimson Comet. The question you need to ask yourself is, what kind of hero are you gonna be?" -Jay Garrick to Barry Allen ĭr.
