    The Different Identities Between Jay Garrick And The Flash

In panel 2, Jay is holding a fedora hat, which illustrates Jay’s social citizen status and the gentlemanly attire of people during the 1930s.

Little do they know he is working as hard as he can as the vigilante “The Arrow” to save the city that treats him poorly. They are uneducated on the fact that he is not who they think he is and that he is trying to save them more than they’ll ever…
