Powers
Wally's primary super power is his speed. Over the years, this has fluctuated from his career as Kid Flash, where he could approach the speed of light, to the beginning of his career as The Flash, in which he was limited to a top speed of approximately 700 mph (1127 km/h), leading to near retirement and returning to college before the death of Barry Allen. In recent years, with the knowledge and mastery of the Speed Force at his disposal, Wally has managed to reach the seemingly impossible speeds beyond light that lead into the Speed Force. Since his return after the events of the Lightning Saga and as a consequence of the events that lead to Bart Allen's death, Wally may now possess the Speed Force in its entirety.
As Kid Flash, Wally had the ability to control the vibration of his molecules to the degree that he could vibrate through solid objects and traverse other dimensions and times. He lost this ability when he became The Flash, and regained this power in later years with the added twist that vibrating through objects could cause them to explode; apparently, this later version of the power passed kinetic energy into the molecular structure of the object he vibrated through, and the object would explode from the charge.
Other applications of super-speed:
Does not leave a scent trail that a bloodhound can track, even at the "low" speed of 700 mph (1127 km/h)
Being able to run across the surface of large bodies of water--moving so fast that he does not break the surface
tension of the water as he runs.
Overcoming gravity by running up and down vertical surfaces.
Creating wind vortices by running in circles or rotating his arms and legs.
"Lending" velocity to objects or people already in motion "Stealing" the speed of others and utilizing it himself.
Vibrating his molecules so fast he can travel through objects such as walls.
Use of his incredibly fast reflexes in order to withstand powerful blows.
Gaining infinite mass as he approaches light speed, resulting in extremely heavy blows.
Creating after-images of himself.
Vibrate so that light does not reflect off him sufficiently, rendering him invisible As with most super-speedsters, Wally possesses an "aura" which protects him (and whatever he carries) from heat and air friction when he travels at high velocities. He also has a slight deal of invulnerability with this "aura".
