Avery Ho
During the Speed Force storm, Chinese-American teenager Avery Ho gained super-speed like The Flash. She was mentored by Barry Allen and Meena Dhawan (who would later become The Negative Flash) and chose to keep her speed powers after most others didn't. She later got taken in by China White and tricked into joining the China White Triad. She turned against China White in the end though, and joined the Justice League of China as The Flash of China.
