Night-Flash is an alternate version of Barry Allen from one of the new realities in the Omniverse.

History

When Barry was a boy, his father Henry Allen developed a serum which promoted rapid healing. A crimelord known as Knives Maroney broke into Henry's lab and attempted to steal the formula, but Henry refused to hand it over. Unfortunately, Barry's mother Nora had brought him to the lab to visit Henry, and Knives took them hostage. He murdered Nora and threatened to kill Barry as well if Henry didn't hand over the formula.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck the lab. Barry and Knives were both doused in Henry's formula and hit by the lightning. The lab caught fire and everyone but Barry and Knives were killed. Barry was given superhuman speed by the accident and used his new powers to protect his city as Night-Flash. Knives also gained superspeed from the accident and became Night-Flash's archenemy, but he also began aging in reverse. By the time Barry was an adult, Knives had become a child.

Jai and Irey West came to his world looking for the Barry Allen of their reality. Barry mistook the superpowered twins as Knives' henchmen and attacked them. When they fled they were "rescued" by Knives who told them that Night-Flash was a brutal tyrant and convinced them to "save" the world from him. The twins fought Night-Flash but realised Knives was evil when he told them to kill Night-Flash. Jay Garrick arrived looking for the twins and Knives fled, his deception exposed.

The twins and Night-Flash mutually apologised and the heroes from another world departed, with Night-Flash telling them he was glad to know there were other heroes out there.
