Or at least, that was the idea that longtime Flash writer Mark Waid had when he came up with an idea that would retcon not just the Flash's origin, but unite every super-speed character in the entire universe: the Speed Force. until she fell under the sway of a certain speed-obsessed cult leader who thought of himself as a god, that is. Wally rebuffed her affections, and that was that. Unfortunately for Vandal - and for Wally West, it turned out - she became obsessed with him instead, and styled herself as Lady Flash. As a result, she fell in with different groups, first Blue Trinity, and then alongside immortal caveman Vandal Savage, who sent her after the Flash in the identity of Lady Savage.
Originally a member of another Soviet trio called Blue Trinity, she was unfortunately lacking in her own personality. The most notable of the minor speedsters, though, is undoubtedly Christina Alexandrova. Further down the ladder are the Soviet speedsters of Red Trinity, who gave up on state-sponsored supervillainy once the USSR collapsed and became a super-fast messenger service named Kapitalist Kouriers. The most famous villain on the bad side of things is, of course, Professor Zoom, the Reverse Flash, who easily takes the prize for having the most ridiculously supervillainous name of all time.
