Ace West

In serialized DC Comics continuity Ace West is presented as a member of the West family who acquires Speed Force-derived abilities following a lightning accident catalyzed by temporal/Speed Force effects. Early New 52 material introduced the character as a biracial reinterpretation of Wally West; DC Rebirth later re-established him as a distinct Wallace West and made him the son of Daniel West (Reverse-Flash). In at least one future timeline his future self dies repairing a wound in the Speed Force, and that sacrifice/time-travel feedback is described in the narratives as the source of the power that later manifests in Wallace when he is struck by lightning.

Sources describe Wallace/Ace as a young, biracial male presented in the visual idiom of youthful DC speedsters. He is depicted wearing speedster costumes associated with the Flash family—at least one future/alternate chronology shows him in a silver-and-red Flash suit—and is portrayed in the roles and visual cues of Kid Flash/Ace within team settings (Teen Titans, Speed Force duo with Avery Ho). Detailed facial features, height, and similar specifics are not provided in the supplied materials.

Ace West functions as a conduit of the Speed Force and possesses abilities typical of that power: superhuman speed (sources state he can run at speeds exceeding the speed of light in DC narratives), enhanced durability, accelerated healing, and electrokinesis. He acts heroically—using his speed to protect others (for example protecting a classmate from a bully), joining teams (Teen Titans) and partnerships (the Speed Force duo with Avery Ho), and performing sacrificial acts in futures/alternate stories (dying while repairing or stabilizing the Speed Force).
