History[]
Personality[]
When Flash was younger, he used to be arrogant, self-absorbed and mostly stubborn. He used to relentlessly bully Peter Parker and Harry Osborn. However, after getting a taste of his own medicine, Flash tries to be better. Despite his potential for intelligence, Flash is sometimes too lazy to realize his true potential. Most of his bad attitude comes from a poor upbringing. He is also too prideful enough to not even take the bus, even refusing to do so when Spider-Man told him to. Despite being one of the most popular boys in school, he picks on people due to his parents never being around and coming from a rather small house that is literally a gas station. After moving on from Parker and bullying a young boy, Alex, Flash realizes his bullying attitude has to stop because his bullying drove the boy enough to take a HYDRA serum and turn into a Rhino mutate. Since learning humility, Flash wishes to become a hero like Spider-Man and forms a symbiotic relationship with the symbiote he bonded with.
