Flare is a more negative version of Blitz, and is essentially what's going on behind Blitz's mask of quips. He doesn't lack any of the heroism the Blitz is known for though, and will help anyone he has the opportunity to, without a second thought. In Legends Unleashed, Flare serves as an inner struggle that Blitz sees as a burden to those around him, but by the end he learns to accept his other half. In the first half of Legends Unleashed 2: Rise Of Corruption, Flare acts as a tag-team with Blitz, sharing the same body, and swapping when needed. In the other half though, a ShadowGem explosion causes the 2 to split. In Legends Unleashed 3: Dawn Of Dusk, Flare dies trying to save Skyler, this has an impact on Blitz, but he eventually rejoins with his other half, re-endowing him with his previous pyrokinesis, but now without Flare.
