Who is Turtle?

Origin The first Turtle makes his debut in All-Flash #21 against Jay Garrick , the Golden Age Flash . The Turtle was a slow-talking, slow moving criminal who decided that, ironically, moving slowly was the way to cope with the super-speed of the Flash. The Turtle believed that the Flash was unable to slow down, turn or stop quickly once he was running at super-speed. He tried to take advantage of this presumed liability in committing his crimes. Nonetheless, the Flash succeeded in capturing the Turtle. Later, the Turtle adopted a turtle-like costume which he wore when battling the Flash. Major Story Arcs In Showcase #4, the debut of Barry Allen , the Silver Age Flash, is also the debut of the second Turtle and Allen's first foe.
