In DC Comics, Ira West was one of the most brilliant physicists of all time. He earned degrees from the most prestigious universities on the globe. He had even won a Nobel prize. Unfortunately, he was also extremely absent-minded, and has lost track of where he keeps most of those things. With his wife, Nadine, they had two children, Rudy and Charlotte West. A third child, Iris, was sent to them from the 30th century by Eric and Fran Russell, a couple trying to save their daughter from a nuclear armageddon. However, he hid the truth of Iris's origins from her. He always considered Iris his favorite child, the one he wanted, but didn't deserve. Her true origin was the one thing that he wanted to forget but couldn't.
