Bio:
To the world, they were Wonder Flash & Femme Battle, but to their family & friends, they were simply William and Wendy Walsh. Two of the worlds most well-known superhero’s who had fallen in love and pledged to fight crime together forever. They welcomed their first son, Wyatt, their pride and joy, and expected great things from him. He became the oldest of three when his parents had twins, his sister Willow and brother Wiley three years later. Wyatt loved being an older brother and was curious about why his parents always had to disappear at the drop of a hat, but wouldn’t find out the truth until a few years later. While he was exploring his house one day shortly after his tenth birthday, he discovered his parents’ secret bunker full of their superhero equipment. They sat him down and explained everything including that he most likely had powers, too, though they might take a while to expose themselves.
When he entered high school at the age of fourteen, he was upset because he hadn’t been exhibiting any superhero-like powers and felt like a failure to his mom and dad. That was, until he joined his high school’s track team. It was the championship race that would determine whether they would come in first after multiple years in the bottom, or add another loss to their record. As he neared the final turn on the track, something within Wyatt stirred, and he felt his legs moving faster than they ever had before. Next thing he knew, he was standing in the winners circle getting a gold medal placed around his neck. it was then that he knew his superpowers had just made themselves known and he (literally) ran home to tell his parents; which only took him about a minute to get there from school.
With his new-found powers, Mr. Walsh put some pressure on his oldest son to carry on the family legacy to protect the citizens of the world from danger. However, Wyatt had just begun attending meetings of the photography club on campus and was developing a keen interest in it faster than his own power of super speed had developed. And he was quite gifted at it, too! Between school, homework, chores, and photography lessons, he was being trained by his parents on the basics of becoming a superhero; needless to say, Wyatt had a lot on his plate. Deep down, he knew that his true passion was photography and dreamed of traveling the world one day taking photos, but his destiny seemed to already be laid out in front of him.
Accompanying him as a civilian, Wyatt followed his dad along on one of his missions and witnessed him getting injured by a villain. It took months for Wonder Flash to recover, and Wyatt knew in that moment that he didn’t want that life for himself, but also knew he had a duty to use his powers for good. His father recovered quickly & without any long-time injuries & was back in his suit the next time someone put the world in danger. To appease his parents, Wyatt decided to attend Save University to further develop his superhero skills. He gets along fine with his classmates, is captain of the track team, and even started a photography club! His biggest concern, however, is figuring out how to tell his parents that he has no intention of becoming a superhero after graduation. Until then, he’ll work as hard as he needs to to keep his grades up, all the while deepening his love of photography.
