As with Marvel, the DC Comics universe contains a company that publishes comics about the heroes that populate its world; but since most heroes' identities were secret for the longest time, the comics had to invent alter egos and lives for the heroes. Thus, the black Green Lantern was given the name "Washington Lincoln" (or some other amalgamation of legendary US presidents), and Kid Flash was given the name "Johnny Zipper".
