Wally West and Wally West

[NetSpiker]

In DCU: Rebirth #1, Wally 1 narrates to the reader that Wally 2 is his cousin.

In The Flash Vol 5 #9, Wally 1 and Wally 2 finally meet each other, but Wally 1 doesn't reveal who he is.

In Titans Vol 3 #11 and Teen Titans Vol 6 #8, Wally 2 is shocked to learn that the other Flash is also named Wally West. Wally 1 says he owes him an explanation but now is not the time.


Is there an issue where Wally 1 explains to Wally 2 how they are related or is this assumed to have happened off-panel?

Also, can anyone tell me in what issue each character is called by his full name Wallace Rudolph West?

Wally 2 goes by Wallace now, and has been for a while. I dopn't recall exactly when Wallace learns about Wally, but that was solved before Flash War, I beleieve.

There never was such conversation between the two but Wally 2 now called Wallace learns he exists because of Barry creating Flashpoint during Flash War.

I think this issue was the first time they actually talked.

Yeah, but there wasn't really a moment where that happened - it was a "suddenly between issues" thing, and even Barry's narration and characters (like Meena) who explicitly hadn't talked to him between those issues were suddenly calling him "Wallace". Honestly, it seemed like an editor had Ctrl-H'd "Wally" to "Wallace" with no particular thought for context.

I think it happened off panel.

Wallace learns Wally's names diring Lazarus Contract, then in a Flash issue he told Barry something like " do you know what Damian did to the other Wally?", after that he helps to resurrect Wally during the Dark Troia arc on Titans, and by the time of The Flash Annual - Prologue to Flash War, we can see they are hanging out with Barry after defeating a villain, so they are in good terms at that moment and Wallace knows Wally is also Iris' nephew.

I don't know if at some moment Wallace says "wait I minute, so uncle Rudolph faked being my father for years?", and what really amazes me is that his mother has never appeared in any story, as far as I know.

The botched origin makes it harder for me to imagine the character having a strong connection to the mythos in the comics.
