Barry Allen will have a competitor racing up behind him on the second season of The Flash.
Warner Bros. and The CW announced Keiynan Lonsdale will be joining this season as Wally West.
This character from the Flash Universe became the speedster known as Kid Flash in the Teen Titans and later became The Flash.
In The New 52 comics continuity Barry was the only Flash and Wally was an African-American.
Since Iris and Joe West were revealed for season one, fans have wondered when nephew Wally would come racing into Central City.
The Flash returns October 6.
