EVALUATION SUMMARY
for
KID FLASH
The subject was the first addition to the Teen Titans roster since the initial constitution of the team as including five members. He stands just over 6'1" tall and weighs 164 lbs. He is 18 years old and, first burst on the scene in late April 2002 as the similarly powered protege of the Justice League member, The Flash.
A Nexis database search revealed news stories about Kid Flash patrolling and fighting crime alongside The Flash for approximately eight more months after which nearly all news stories in which he was mentioned feature him as a solo crime fighter up until he joined the Teen Titans.
With the exception of the period from June 17-June19 2006, when he was being blackmailed by the villain, Slade, I find no record of Kid Flash committing any crime or intentionally hurting any innocent person.
Approximately one year before that, Kid Flash had encountered a group of teen villains known as the HIVE Five and their leader, Jinx. Kid Flash actively recruited Jinx away from a life of crime. She subsequently became a full fledged Titan as well and the two are now married.
I find that the subject is very intelligent. Contrary to the image sometimes put forth in the media of a cocky boy lacking seriousness, the young man to whom I spoke displayed no arrogance and was quite thoughtful.
Subject grew up in a very difficult family atmosphere in which he was deprived of much normal parental attachment. As a result of this, subject seems to be predisposed to strengthening social bonds whenever possible. Subject feels sincere empathy for the unfortunate and downtrodden. Perhaps because subject's difficult circumstances could be blamed on specific individuals close to him and he did not have a pariah status in school or elsewhere, subject appears not to have developed a generalized oppositional attitude. Subject has achieved mature adult perspective on the events of his life and appreciates subtle moral distinctions. With exception of the brief period noted above when being blackmailed with the threat of the death of Jinx, by Slade, suject has invariably acted to protect the innocent and catch crimininals.
Subject's power is that of super speed. He is able to run at speeds of many thousands of miles per hour. Exactly how fast is uncertain. Some reports have said that he left a particular location in Jump City, ran across the United States, across the Atlantic Ocean to Paris and then returned with a croissant for Jinx in a matter of seconds. He is also able to vibrate the molecules of his body so that he can pass through solid obstacles and also so that solid objects or projectiles such as bullets pass harmlessly through him. When fighting hand to hand, subject is almost impossible to strike and if somehow grabbed can vibrate his body to create intense friction heat and force his opponent to let him go. Subject is able to run create mini typhoons through circular patterns of running and by whirling his arms. His command of his powers is extremely precise. He was initially tutored in their use by his mentor, The Flash, and has continuted to refine his control of them since. The danger to himself or others from inadvertant application of his powers seems minimal.
Most evaluations such as this would include a physical to determine if the subject suffers from a physical condition that will affect his outlook or judgement. But the subject's physical nature is such that evaluating any of his body's systems against established norms may be useless.
This office became aware that S.T.A.R. Labs has evaluated the Teen Titans. An initial phone call to S.T.A.R. Labs requesting data was rebuffed with a terse declaration that data concerning patients would not be shared and was protected by the same doctor-client privilege as psychological information. A subsequent written request for data relevant to the health of Kid Flash elicited only the following brief synopsis:
"Kid Flash:
age: approximately 18 years old
height: six feet one and one quarter inches
weight: 164 pounds
fat percentage: 0.4 percent
chest: 41 inches
waist: 27 inches
hips: 39 inches
neck: 15.5 inches
bicep: 13 inches
thigh: 23 inches
calf: 16 inches
Kid Flash does not suffer from any physical ailment affecting his mind. It is difficult to see how he could be any healthier."
I find that the subject, Kid Flash, of the Teen Titans does not constitute a danger to himself or others.
