Using Inertia's "time machine", they unwittingly strip Bart of his powers instead as the machine effectively drains the Speed Force from an individual. The Black Flash re-appears once more this time to Bart Allen (who had taken up the mantle of The Flash, after the events of Infinite Crisis) at the penultimate moment when he was about to lose his powers while battling the Rogues at the Getty Center. For a time it remained dissipated, but you can't kill Death. Wally is able to beat the Black Flash by racing it to the end of time, where death has no meaning.
Due to this fact, Max Mercury, Jay Garrick (the Golden Age Flash, Flash I) and Jesse Chambers (aka Jesse Quick/Liberty Belle, daughter to Johnny Quick who had been claimed by the Black Flash previously) was able to aid Wally in battle. It tried again, but this time froze time to those outside of the Speed Force as the very presence of it corrupted time enough for this to occur. It proved unsuccessful inadvertently bringing Linda Park (at the time was Wally West's girlfriend and soon to be fiancé) into the Speed Force instead. When the Black Flash eventually came for Wally West (Flash III).
It is also known that Max Mercury has seen it, but wasn't caught by the creature. Although they were killed by other things, ultimately it was because they had been caught by the Black Flash.
It appeared prior to the deaths of Barry Allen (the Silver Age Flash, Flash II) and Johnny Quick. The Black Flash has appeared in numerous occasions primarily before the death of a speedster. Recent writings however have revealed that it is a Dark Aspect of the Speed Force. Its direct origin has been debated to whether it was initially created as an embodiment of Death as traditional Death was not fast enough to capture those aligned with the Speed Force, or if it was simply a manifestation of itself, much in the same manner as the Black Racer. The Black Flash is the representation of Death for DC speedsters and those who are connected with the Speed Force.
