HISTORY

The madchild Abhararakadhararbarakh (also known as Citizen Abra) was born in the 64th century, an era in which science is so advanced it is indistinguishable from magic (some claim it is a mix between science and real magic). Being an individualist in a collectivist society, and bored with his lifestyle, Citizen Abra travelled back in time to use his era's advanced technology for tormenting the second Flash as the super-villain Abra Kadabra. The Flash soon defeated Kadabra and returned him to his own era. Humiliated, Kadabra found a new goal in life – getting revenge on the Flash. The villain returned time and again and his attacks on the Flash became increasingly complex (doing tricks like transforming Flash into a puppet or a cartoon character), and increasingly violent. He was a (mostly unwanted) member of the Flash's Rogues Gallery, and once took control of the Injustice Gang (I). For a time, Kadabra also posed as Flash's archenemy Professor Zoom.

After the death of the second Flash, Kadabra disappeared for some time. He returned shortly after the Invasion! to battle the new Flash, Wally West. In the fight, an explosion short-circuited his teleportation technology, disfiguring his face and making him lose his mind permanently. Kadabra is now obsessed with revenge on Wally. For a while, Kadabra exchanged his tricks into real magic through a deal with the devil Neron. These days, he seems to have returned to his science-based activities again.
