Kid Flash (Iris West) is a superheroine in an alternate future of the DC Comics universe.

She was constantly annoyed by the fact that her father, who had almost completely given up his life to patrol Keystone City non-stop, never made time for her, although he did make time for her lazy brother Barry, who had the same powers but wanted no part in superheroics.

She was eventually recruited to try and stop a madman named Gog from altering her history by Rip Hunter along with several other heroes of her generation - Ibn al Xu'ffasch, Batman's son; Nightstar (Nightwing and Starfire's child) and Offspring, the son of Plastic Man - before discovering it to be unnecessary due to Hypertime.

She was later a member of a group comprising the children of the original Titans: herself; Nightstar; Donna Troy's son Darkstar, the Red Hood, Arsenal's daughter; and Tula, Tempest's daughter. They returned to the present in various Hypertimelines to save the existence of Donna Troy.
