Linda Park (also Linda Park-West) is a fictional character in the DC Comics universe. She first appeared in Flash vol 2 #28. Linda is Korean-American, although some artists mistakenly portray her as caucasian. She is best known as the girlfriend, and later wife, of the third Flash (Wally West).
Character history
Linda Park is a television reporter for Keystone City and regularly dealt with Flash, whom she didn't like. Despite this, they became friends and soon began dating. Flash's love for Linda has brought him back many times from the Speed Force. After many obstacles, they married.
She eventually became one of the hosts of the television program The Scene, which is similar to our version of The View. Her co-hosts included Vicki Vale, Tawny Young, and Lia Briggs. Two episodes were shown in which they interviewed Wonder Woman on her career, which was shown in that title comic.
Linda soon became pregnant with twins, but during the early months of her pregnancy she was attacked by Zoom, which caused her to miscarry the twins. After Zoom was defeated, Wally asked The Spectre to remove the Flash's identity from everyone — including Wally and Linda. After she remembered, Linda left to rethink her life. She returned to Wally after taking some time away. A later battle between Zoom and Flash spontaneously restored her pregnancy and she gave birth to the twins.
Template:Spoiler In Infinite Crisis #4, a battle with Superboy-Prime caused Wally to disappear. He appeared in front of Linda, telling her he is disappearing. Holding the twins, Linda kissed Wally as they disappeared. Template:Endspoiler
