Shawn Allen (Earth-90: Pre-Crisis)

Shawn Allen was the son of Jay Allen and Eve Allen.

The Dark Riders attack
In 1990, Shawn and his parents were dinning at his grandparent's house and when they came to talk about police work, he mentioned the notorious crime gang the Dark Riders that where causing chaos at Central City. This surprised everyone since as a kid, he wasn't supposed to know anything about the crime world. Days later, when his father was murdered by Nicholas Pike, he attended his father's funeral. Days later, after Pike's arrest, he was outside with his uncle Barry talking about his father while the others were celebrating Pike's arrest at his grandparent's house.

The Museum theft
Month later, Barry brought Shawn to a friend of his, Ted Preminger. Together, Ted made him visit the museum and it interested him to the point where later, he asked his uncle if he could stay a little longer.
