Having seen portents of Wally's death, Max Mercury and Jesse Quick intercepted Wally before reaching the museum where Linda was waiting, with Linda thus being struck by the lightning that was meant to kill Wally. The specter speedster came for Wally West to draw back to the Speed Force, but instead took Linda Park. Max Mercury has also seen the Black Flash while having had several near-death experiences. It is reportedly seen before the deaths of Barry Allen and Johnny Quick. The Black Flash essentially fulfills the same role as Death for those who possess super-speed in the DC Universe, returning the speedster to their power source: the Speed Force. 2 #141 (September 1998).įictional character background Original depiction
