Powers: Like her mother and grandfather before her,
Haley Grayson uses the spoken formula, 3X2(9YZ)4A, to
gain the power of superspeed. She also inherited her
mother and grandmother's superstrength and, due to a
protective spell Zatanna placed on Jesse while she
was pregnant with Haley, Haley is more physically
resilliant than other speedsters. She is continuously
trying to learn new speed 'tricks' and has already
mastered being able to vibrate through things and is
also able to sense and locate other speedsters through
their connection to the Speedforce.
History: The eldest child of Nightwing and Jesse
Quick, Haley was born exactly one month after her
parents were married. Haley has always wondered why
her parents never talk about their wedding very much,
even though they're fine with discussing how fast
Haley arrived on the scene after it.
Haley's superspeed manifested when she was 5 years
old, which caused some problems in the Grayson
household, mainly with those family members who did
not posess superspeed themselves, but all adapted with
no major mishaps, only a few minor ones. Due to
Haley's superspeed, Impulse was sometimes called upon
to help be a babysitter. This show of trust by Jesse
and Nightwing did alot for Impulse's confidence and
also ment that Haley formed a close bond with her
'Uncle' Bart. Haley also grew up with a bad case of
hero worship for her older 'brother' Terry
(Nightstrike).
Haley began her training in martial arts and
acrobatics when her superspeed manifested, as
Nightwing decided it would be the best for her to
learn how to integrate her powers with her skills as
soon as possible. It soon became terribly apparent
that superspeed used with martial arts and acrobatics
was going to make for quite a deadly combination.
Haley took to the training with an ease and love that
didn't really astound her parents.
Being surrounded by a mostly superheroic family and
extended family, there was never really much of a
question in Haley's mind that she would likewise grow
up to become a superhero. Strangely enough, it was
Jesse, who, despite having started her heroing career
much at a much later age than Dick did, advocated that
Haley went to the Theodore Knight Academy and was allowed to join the latest incarnation of
Young Justice when she turned 13. Dick opposed this
vehemently, but eventually captiulated to the wishes
of his wife and daughter. The one stipulation of
Haley's joining YJ was that she couldn't miss any
school and that she ALWAYS keep her parents informed
of her whereabouts. Agreeing to these restrictions,
Haley joined Young Justice and took the name of
Quickwing (whatdaya want, she was 13).
After many adventures with Young Justice and with
her parents (including helping a younger version of
Jesse and the other speedsters against Savitar),
Haley graduated from Young Justice at the age of 18.
In typical, headstrong Haley fashion, she showed up
at the headquarters of the JLA and asked Superman
(Kon-El) for a job as the current league did not
have a speedster. Superman, impressed with the girl's
confidence, and not being able to fault her pedigree
(and the fact that she was the first speedster of her
age group to apply), immediately made her a member
of the JLA. It was at this point that Haley, with
the full blessing of her mother and her Uncle Bart,
decided to change her code name and became the fifth
person to bear the title of the the Flash.
Personality: Haley is one of those annoying people
who seem to be good at whatever they turn their hand
to, a trait which she definitely inherited from her
father. With her background, Haley has all the
makings to be a perfect, spoiled rich-kid, but
fortuantely, this didn't happen as she has had so
many different influences in her life. Haley is an
extremely intelligent, energetic and flamboyant
person. Like both her parents, she has a rather
forceful personality, which some interpret as
being tenatious, while others just call it being
stubborn. She is extremely confident, to the point
where it does hover on over-confidence, but she does
generally possess the maturity to reign herself in
when the need arises.
