The Flash Season 3: 8 Speedsters Who Should Appear

No, not that Iris West, the other Iris West.

Iris West, also known as Irey West to her nearest and dearest (and to stop too much confusion amongst readers), is the comic book daughter of Wally West and Linda Park. Much like her pops, she’s a speedster in her own right.

Initially, Irey and her twin brother Jai had no superpowers. That all changed when they hit 3 months of age and began aging rapidly as it became apparent that they had indeed inherited certain abilities from their dad. When it later became apparent that the twins weren’t able to tap into the Speed Force at the same time, courtesy of some tampering from Zoom, it was down to Irey to absorb her brother’s superpowers in order to save his life, with her becoming known as Impulse along the way.

It may seem a little too soon to even consider the notion of dropping Iris “Irey” West into The Flash - not to mention a small child being allowed to fight crime is ridiculous - but the use of time travel and alternative timelines means literally any and everything has to be considered.
