Tina McGee originally received a grant from
Harvard to study
Wally West's metabolism. Her husband Jerry McGee turned into the
Speed Demon, the homicidal speedster before reforming and giving up the steroids behind the artificial speed. Tina and the Flash grew into a romantic relationship despite their age differences and Tina was legally still married at the time; she moves in with Wally. Various stresses, including Wally's domineering mother, break apart their bond. The Flash loses his speed due to alien influence. Tina leads a research project, based at the Pacific Institute, into restoring it. This causes Wally's speed to drastically increase, leaving a trail of destruction across the country. Tina teams up with
Mason Trollbridge, her now recovered ex and the Flash's older detective friend. While the trio quest to find the addled Wally, Tina and Jerry get back together. Later, Tina and Jerry unwittingly unleash the robotic intelligence
Kilg%re among their own university colleagues. At this point, the entity is non-violent; despite taking over many of the people at the facility, all it wanted was to deeply experience life. Jerry and Tina become employees at
Central City's S.T.A.R. Labs. They assist the Flash multiple times, such as taking care of his injured ally
Cyborg. Tina is later head of the facility. She heads a project to discover what had happened to the speedster-empowering
Speed Force with
Bart Allen who was seemingly the only surviving speedster at the time. ==Other versions==
