Wally West first appeared in DC Comics in 1959 as Kid Flash before later taking over as the Flash, a role that made him famous for speed feats that often top fan rankings.

The song clip attached to his name spread through short form edits, where a fast build and a confident hero image are enough to make the reference instantly clear.
