11 Justice League Fates Worse Than Death

Few people were done dirty as part of the New 52 as much as Wally West, with him left out in the cold after Barry Allen returned after a 23-year absence.

Once Wally was finally brought back into the fold in the aforementioned DC Rebirth, things soon went array for this version of the Flash. And by array, that means Heroes in Crisis.

Heroes in Crisis has an unfortunate reputation for being one of those stories that has readers breaking out in a cold sweat at its mere mention. We're not quite talking One More Day bad, but many are still shaking their heads at the HIC decision to make Wally a mass murderer.

For context, the recently-returned West was placed in the Sanctuary locale that serves to give therapy to the heroes and (hopefully) reformed villains who need it. In Heroes in Crisis, Wally was amongst a slew of familiar names who were shockingly found dead, with Harley Quinn and Booster Gold the only survivors and de facto prims suspects.

We'd come to find out that Wally West had caused this carnage, with him having read the case files of the Sanctuary's residents. Upon doing that, Wally became so emotionally overwhelmed that he lost control of his powers, unwittingly murdered everyone when the Speed Force ran rampant, faked his own death, then tried to fix all of this by using time-travel.
