I remember reading New Teen Titans in the 80's an being frustrated that Wally West was having issues with his Kid Flash powers, eventually getting sick and considering retirement. I was convinced DC was preparing to kill him off. Little did I know it was actually Barry Allen on the chopping block. His death was a gut punch, but at least Wally was safe, and indeed ready to level up. Years later, Barry was finally brought back, which is great - but now DC doesn't know what to do with Wally. They've gotten rid of his family, killed him, turned him into a murderer, and replaced him with an alternate (and of course non-ginger) version of Wally West. If all they are going to do is character assassinate him, I'd prefer if he was just left alone. Hopefully one day he can be successfully revived and rehabilitated just as Barry was.
I'm always happy to use an image by my favorite DC Cover Artist, Nick Cardy. Here's a sketch of his I picked up many years back:
