- -- -Afflatus to Kid Flash
Tony grant is a high school student and is 18 years old,he's made it to the state track meet being the star athlete of track and field but then loses in 3rd place, though not a big deal he took it pretty hard and went to research things for performance enhancements, but on the way home he was about to get hit by the car but was saved by The Flash, becoming obsessed with Flash and his speed he would go to where The Flash was fighting villains and study him and one time he saw the Flash take a drug that enhanced a speedsters speed call velocity 9. So he then snuck into star labs to take it, when getting it he was then encountered by an unsuited Barry fallen but then panicked and drunk the velocity 9 before he could have it taken away,this drug being fatal to humans put tony into shock and started to die until Barry and his crew put him on life support within the lab, months later the Reverse Flash attacked the labs and saw Tony bed ridden and unconscious but sensed great potential within him so he kidnapped the young boy and remade the same experiment that made berry Allen the flash and t he reverse flash was successful in his attempt, Tony not knowing he was a villain became grateful and was taken under the Reverse Flash's wing being named Afflatus.
Reverse Flash had been making Tony avoid The Flash to keep Barry from getting to him with knowing Barry is his idol but one day Reverse Flash gave Tony the mission to defeat Flash and this conflicted Tony. One day getting a call from Reverse Flash he showed up to Flash being badly injured and beaten so the Reverse Flash told Afflatus to finish him. Seeing that he was hesitant he was gonna finish off the Flash himself but Afflatus attacked Reverse Flash and they got into a quick fight and he saves Berry taking him to my house to rest and recover and my betrayal making me an enemy of the reverse flash,grateful for me saving his life he said to keep I'm close contact and he told me to start being the hero that I'm supposed to be,next time he calls me is to where I can be recruited for the Brotherhood of Justice
First entering the brotherhood he was a little withdrawn and quiet and questioning himself because of the time he spent with Reverse Flash but after being around the crew and Barry he grew to be more out going and caring, more like Barry in a sense but is much more aggressive in battle in training due to being trained by the Reverse Flash himself.

Powers and Abilities
Powers
- Speed Force Conduit
- Accelerated Healing: Speed Force conduits are not invulnerable nor durable enough to sustain damage however if they are harmed they will heal at high speeds. Any normal wear and tear damage to their bodies are almost instantly healed.
- Decelerated Aging: Speed Force conduits have a slowed aging process. This power can be imparted on their most intimate loved ones by extended contact rather than distribution.
- Energy Construct Creation: Speed Force conduits can use the matter generated by their speed to create solid objects such as walls or bridges. This power requires constant concentration and reapplication of the construct for it to remain stable. the speedster's after images are also construct creations.
- Flight: Speed Force conduits can rotate their arms and spin their bodies like tops to achieve something of a kind of helicopter flight. However, with practice conduits can even achieve controllable flight if launched at high speeds. Despite their flight abilities they are always faster on their feet.
- Increased Perceptions: Speed Force conduits traveling at the speed of sound may miss important events as they run by. The Speed Force grants them enhanced senses that allow them to see, hear, smell, touch and/or taste at an increased speed and understand it as it is processed.
- Infinite Mass Punch: Speed Force conduits have an increased level of strength added to their bodies which they can impart in different ways. Certain speedsters can strength each and every move they make however this requires attention and stress for each movement and therefore is almost never used. In most cases conduits can focus the Speed Force's extra-dimensional energies into one massive punch; when used in practiced this punch pushed a metahuman from one continent to another.
- Phasing: Speed Force conduits can vibrate their molecules so quickly that they can achieve intangibility for short bursts allowing them to phase through objects.
- Self-Sustenance: Speed Force conduits travel at incredible speeds which cause their bodies to work overtime. In situations where their bodies may be too fast for them to breathe they may impart on the Speed Force for sustenance. However, this almost always results in the conduits having an increased metabolism at all times requiring them to constantly refill their energy supplies.
- Sharing the Force: Speed Force conduits can allow their friends or family members to run along side them at their equaled speeds. Certain conduits who may only have minor access to the Force may achieve full levels of the Force due to the main conduit's association with it.
- Speed Force Aura - People who are propelled by the conduits during high speed situations can survive the harsh conditions associated with mach speeds. When the conduit must rescue an individual from a burning building these individuals will be protected while within the aura.
- Speed Force Conduit: People who, for whatever reason, are connected to the Speed Force are sometimes called Speed Force Conduits. This means that they are connected to the Speed Force and are tethered to it. Some characters may control their Speed Force imparted powers in different ways such as only Superhuman Strength or even directed through Lighting but no matter their adaptions they are still connected to the Force.
- Steal Speed: Speed Force conduits can steal the accelerated motion or momentum from objects or people to reduce their speed or even virtually stop them. Conduits may also steal the speed from other Speedsters or other fast moving people.
- Supercharged Brain Activity: Sometimes neglected by Speedsters who only operate at superhuman speeds and never slow down enough to understand their full potential; Speedsters can access superhuman levels in their brains further than processing information. They can test theories, understand difficult equations and run trial and error in their brains at superhuman speeds. Different conduits access this activity in different ways.
- Superhuman Speed: Speed Force conduits have one main ability above all else. Conduits are connected to the barrier and accumulation of all Speed known in their universe. These characters immediately understand how to run at superhuman speeds and their bodies instinctively understand how to react at high-speed situations. Older speedsters have a reduced but maxed speed of 770mph which is just below sonic booms allowing them to react to situations without causing civilians undo stress. Speedsters in their prime can travel at much faster speeds such as the max level of recorded aided speed on Earth and even reach the speed of light with enough willpower. It is possible for conduits to travel much faster than the speed of light however such levels require an incredible amount of stress. Speedsters unaccustomed to their max level of speeds may detach themselves from the Speed Force or even become part of the Speed Force by accident.
- Superhuman Reflexes: Speedster possesses reflexes far greater than a normal human being. His/her great reflexes have allowed him/she to perform feats such as dodging lightning.
- Superhuman Stamina: Speedster's body can handle the stress of moving at superhuman speeds for long periods of time without out getting tired or weak.
- Superhuman Agility: Speedster's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to superhuman levels. This allows him/her to easily maneuver and leap far distances while moving at superhuman speed.
- Vortex Creations: Speed Force conduits that plant themselves on the ground and rotate their extremities can cause an incredible amount of wind to burst through their focused funnel. Most Speedsters use this ability automatically when they run reducing the air currents around their body to low enough levels to no longer inhibit their speed. Creatively, Speedsters can create tornadoes and gusts with their arms.
Abilities
- Hand-to-Hand Combat (Basic): After being trained by Reverse Flash, Tony had a pretty well rounded knowledge in hand-to-hand combat. Not any specific or high level Martial Combat, but enough so he can hold his own against anyone capable of matching his speed. He received a higher degree of training from Black Canary after being in the Brotherhood of Justice, enough to where he can hold his own with the best of them.
Strength level
Afflatus's physical strength is obviously not his strongest point, but he is stronger enough to pick up things as large as a metal beam.
Weaknesses
- Accelerated Metabolism: As a side effect of being a Speedster, Tony must have large amounts of food in order to stay energized because his body now naturally burns the calories much faster then a normal human.
