27 Reasons Jay Garrick Is The Perfect Flash

Who needs speed when you have super-snug sweaters?

Thank you, "The Flash," for introducing us to Earth-Two. Not only does the existence of the DC Comics Multiverse mean another shot at survival for beautiful bad man Harrison Wells, and a brand-new speedster menace in the form of Zoom, it also means the arrival of an all-new perfect human specimen: Jay Garrick, the Flash of another world.

In one episode alone, actor Teddy Sears pops off the screen and proves his worth as a flawless hero. Here are just some of the many reasons why we love the Crimson Comet already!

First of all, look at him.

Do you see any flaws?

No, seriously, look at him.

The CW

flash-jay-garrick-6

Nope! No flaws!

He's brave and bold...

The CW

flash-jay-garrick-2

...but he's also cautious.

Kudos to Jay for stepping into STAR Labs with his hands up. Good idea not to raise Barry and the gang's alert levels any higher than they already are.

He's the most laidback prisoner ever.

The CW

flash-jay-garrick-8

Easily the most polite person in the Pipeline.

He's a good teacher.

The CW

It tooks Wells months and months to get Barry to top speed. It takes Jay how long to teach Barry how to fire off sonic booms ala Guile from "Street Fighter" — an hour, two hours max? Not bad.

He's humble.

The CW

And not for anything, but Jay is way more humble than he needs to be toward the dude who just locked him up for a couple of days.

He's a hard worker.

The CW

Part-time chemist, part-time physicist, part-time superhero, full-time perfect person.

He has an awesome nemesis.

The CW

Zoom looks mean as hell, what with his twisted Tony Todd voice and his dark and stormy appearance. Any good hero comes equipped with an equally evil bad guy.

He has a ridiculous hat...

The CW

In his defense, it's a family heirloom.

...but he makes it look good.

The CW

flash-jay-garrick-15

Tell me more about that War of the Americas, Jay. I swear I'm listening.

He has a cool nickname.

The CW

I like "Scarlet Speedster," but Jay's moniker is truly cosmic.

His punches are a little bit slow right now...

The CW

flash-jay-garrick-18

...but when his punch lands?

The CW

flash-jay-garrick-19

It lands hard enough to bust up sand.

Not only can he throw a punch...

The CW

flash-jay-garrick-20

...he knows how to take the hits as well.

He's a little slow right now...

The CW

flash-jay-garrick-11

But even his normal speed is pretty good.

The CW

flash-jay-garrick-10

Yeah. His normal speed is fine.

The CW

flash-jay-garrick-9

Perfectly fine.

The CW

flash-jay-garrick-21

Perfectly... okay, sorry.

The CW

flash-jay-garrick-22

Is it hot in here? It's hot in here, right?

Wait, Jay, no--

The CW

flash-jay-garrick-28

JAY DON'T PUT THAT ON

The CW

flash-jay-garrick-23

Actually, "shirt on" works, too.

The CW

flash-jay-garrick-24

"Snug sweater" works even better.

The CW

flash-jay-garrick-12

So, Jay Garrick is pretty much perfect...

The CW

flash-jay-garrick-3

But you know what they say...

The CW

flash-jay-garrick-27

Two Flashes are better than one.
