HISTORY

The original Turtle was a 1940s villain who used tricks of slowness in battle with the Golden Age Flash, but whose main weapon was slow, deliberate planning. After a few clashes with the Flash, the Turtle faded from the public scene.

Years later, the Turtle Man sort of carried on his legacy, battling the second Flash.

After the debut of the third Flash (Wally West) in recent years, the original Turtle returned, now with the younger Turtle Man as his henchman, to take over Keystone City from underground. A final clash with Wally and his allies resulted in the Turtle destroying his own headquarters, and apparently himself with it.
