The controversial limited series “Heroes in Crisis” caused a stir, as the central plot revealed that the Flash, a beloved character, accidentally killed multiple innocent heroes (including Roy Harper, his close friend) and framed Booster Gold and Harley Quinn for the crime. When this was released, fans were enraged and demanded a rewrite of the story due to discomfort with the Flash being responsible for the deaths of several heroes. In 2021’s “Flash Annual,” it was revealed that the lethal Speed Force burst wasn’t caused by Wally losing control, but rather a tragic accident that occurred while Savitar, the Speed God, attempted to break free from his prison. Fans were relieved to see Wally cleared of any wrongdoing, although some might still question his actions. In “Flash’s ‘Finish Line’ story,” Wally’s out-of-character choices were retconned as a result of Reverse-Flash manipulating him with dark thoughts, and it was Eobard who instigated the plan. Overall, Wally is innocent of any wrongdoing.
