| − | === Origin === |
||
| − | When Barry was a boy, his parents' relationship wasn't going well, and while he prepared to participate in a spelling bee at school, his mother [[Nora Thompson (Prime Earth)|Nora]] was struggling to encourage him despite working double shifts and trying to get a divorce from his father [[Henry Allen (Prime Earth)|Henry]]. He received the divorce papers on the day of the spelling bee, and because Nora had to work, he seethed and took Barry to school. When Nora returned from work, she was happy to see that her son had won the competition, but she was obligated to speak to Henry about their relationship, and so Barry was sent to the book store in the meantime. By the time Barry returned, his mother had been murdered, and his father had been placed under arrest, though he professed his innocence. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Fortunately, [[Darryl Frye (Prime Earth)|Darryl Frye]], who had secretly been involved romantically with Nora, pulled some strings, and was able to take Barry in. Having learned from Darryl that the search for evidence in that case would inevitably lead to the truth, Barry became a forensic scientist. For years, he visited Henry in prison, promising to look over all of the evidence of his mother's murder case until he found a way to prove his father's innocence. After years of coming back, and failing to find any proof, Henry broke down and admitted that he had committed the crime. The shock of realizing that all of his efforts had been for nothing depressed Barry. On the night of a storm, Barry angrily tore his lab apart. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning crashed through his lab's window, and struck him in the chest, causing him to drop the chemical vials he was carrying, and douse himself. |
||
| − | |||
| − | After a long comatose period, Barry woke with super-speed abilities. Inspired by Darryl's example, Barry decided to take on a symbol for himself, and fight for good. He created the [[Flash's Costume Ring|ring]] that held his specially designed costume, and became known as the [[Flash]], the fastest man alive.<ref>{{C|Flash Vol 4 0}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Forming the Justice League === |
||
| − | Barry's first meeting with his future Justice League team members happened while attempting to stop a fight between [[Batman]] and [[Superman]] in [[Central City]]. Showcasing his super speed abilities, The Flash was surprised when Superman managed to defeat him with just a flick of his finger. After Batman calmed Superman down, explaining that he and [[Green Lantern]] had nothing to do with the strange creatures that had been plaguing the world, The Flash remained confused looking to Green Lantern for confirmation on whether they were still fighting. Soon after, a new portal was opened in Metropolis and the four men ensued a battle on stopping the alien creatures that were now attacking the city. It was here that they met [[Wonder Woman]], an Amazonian princess who had recently settled onto Prime Earth. After another lengthy battle with the aliens, The Flash noticed they were forming above the water. Here, [[Aquaman]], the legendary superhero of the sea, joined the fray as the battle continued. The team also eventually enlisted [[Cyborg]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Soon, the master of the creatures and mind behind the attacks was revealed to be [[Darkseid]]. However, The Flash seemed the only one conscious to see the terrifying creature enact his attempt at domination over Earth. Fearfully, The Flash attempted to rouse his fellow heroes. Superman then attempted to battle Darkseid but was swiftly swiftly defeated and captured. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Batman then formulated a plan, consisting of him being captured to rescue Superman while the others engaged Darkseid in a fight. Wonder Woman eventually did some damage but the five remaining members were proving to struggle against the alien overlord. [[Superman]] swiftly rejoined them after being saved by Batman and delivered the final punch to send Darkseid back to his world. Soon after, the seven were rewarded and began to debate on whether they should become a league of superheroes helping to protect civilians in catastrophic world situations. When asked for a name, The Flash announced they would be called 'The Super Seven'. He later stated the name was under consideration. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === [[Flash: Move Forward|Move Forward]] === |
||
| − | While on his first date with coworker [[Patty Spivot (Prime Earth)|Patty Spivot]] at a technology symposium, Barry had a chance encounter with [[Darwin Elias (Prime Earth)|Dr. Darwin Elias]], a prominent theoretical physicist who had designed a device that could re-code the human genome. The date and the encounter were interrupted by a gang of thugs who stole the re-coder. Barry managed to recover the device, but in the process, one of the thugs he was chasing ''died''. What was worse was that he ''recognized'' the man - it was his old friend [[Manuel Lago (Prime Earth)|Manuel Lago]]. Fortunately, the forensics showed that something other than the impact had killed Manuel, clearing Flash's name. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Barry learned with the help of Dr. Elias' device that Manuel's DNA had been altered in some way, but was startled in his study by the sudden appearance of Manuel in his apartment - alive and well. Manuel had no time to explain himself, though, as someone began banging down the door. Together, they ran for their lives. Barry ducked out of sight to become the Flash, but was surprised when he emerged to see that Manuel had been caught by several ''clones'' of himself.<ref>{{C|Flash Vol 4 1}}</ref> When they claimed that they had taken reporter and old flame [[Iris West (Prime Earth)|Iris West]] hostage, Barry was forced to watch them take Manuel away. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Barry learned that Manuel had been working for the CIA and had ''officially'' died 16 months ago. However, these clones who called themselves [[Manuel Lago (Prime Earth)|Mob Rule]] and appeared to be suffering from rapid cellular deterioration, had found their original and hoped to use him to lengthen their short lives. The process by which they intended to do this resulted in an EMP blast that cut power from both of the Gem Cities, and caused numerous disasters.<ref>{{C|Flash Vol 4 2}}</ref> While Iris was trapped in [[Iron Heights]] during a power outage, Barry and Patty attempted to save Manuel, but in the process, Barry was shot through the head, and apparently killed.<ref>{{C|Flash Vol 4 3}}</ref> Despite Patty's attempt to save him, Manuel decided to give himself up to Mob Rule, knowing that he was responsible for their creation. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Barry had not really died, though, and woke to discover that Elias had been kidnapped by Mob Rule in the hopes that ''he'' could save them.<ref>{{C|Flash Vol 4 4}}</ref> Manuel had agreed to let Elias use his DNA to re-code Mob Rule's own DNA, and resolve their problem. Unfortunately, something in the process went wrong, and Flash was forced to stop it to save Manuel. Manuel was ungrateful, however, because the interruption ''killed'' all of the clones, leaving ''him'' alive. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Afterward, Barry revealed that he had survived to Patty, and later learned from Elias that it was ''his'' speed that caused the EMP blast and the problem with the re-coding process. Barry's super-speed was opening rifts in time.<ref>{{C|Flash Vol 4 5}}</ref> To counter this, Elias created a device to measure Barry's built-up energy, and warned him when a rift was likely to be created. It also served the dual purpose of storing that energy to be used to power the Gem Cities during the outage. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Meanwhile, [[Leonard Snart (Prime Earth)|Leonard Snart]] had escaped [[Iron Heights]] during the outage, and had learned that his hospitalized sister [[Lisa Snart (Prime Earth)|Lisa]]'s life support was threatened by a lack of power, for which he blamed the Flash. In order to draw his enemy out, Leonard staged an attack using his new cold-powers, and the Flash was forced to fight him.<ref>{{C|Flash Vol 4 6}}</ref> In the process, his speed opened another rift, which sent Iris and a few others ''into'' the Speed Force, and Barry Allen was thought to have been lost with them. In the aftermath, the Flash learned of Lisa Snart's critical condition, and saw to it that she gets the treatment she needed.<ref>{{C|Flash Vol 4 7}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | To save Iris, Flash entered the Speed Force where he encountered a man named [[Roscoe Hynes (Prime Earth)|Roscoe Hynes]] who had been trapped there long ago. From Hynes, he learned that he was actually ''preventing'' temporal anomalies by running, and that it was Hynes who had caused the EMP blast. Angrily, he attacked Hynes, and both of them fell into a wormhole, and emerged in a city populated by intelligent [[Gorillas]].<ref>{{C|Flash Vol 4 8}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | === [[Flash: Rogues Revolution|Rogues Revolution]] === |
||
| − | Barry's sudden arrival in the [[Gorilla City]] was at just the same moment that [[Gorilla Grodd (Prime Earth)|Grodd]] was being crowned king. Unfortunately, the journey through the Speed Force caused Barry to lose his memory. Though the new king was eager to eat the visitor's brains, the city's elders believed Barry to be a messenger who deserved honour. They freed him from captivity, explaining that the same power that gave him his speed was what gave them their sentience, but it was ''they'' who were to be the messengers for ''him''. Barry was to be the Speed Force's vessel, and he was needed to run for the sake of all mankind. Soon, Barry regained his memory and defeated Grodd, who was jealous of his power. Though it would mean the end of their civilization, the gorillas allowed Barry to return home, where he discovered with confusion that [[Darwin Elias (Prime Earth)|Dr. Elias]] was holding protests ''against'' him.<ref>{{C|Flash Vol 4 9}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Surprised by this turn of events, Flash decided to reveal his real identity to Patty, but learned that she had gone to [[Guatemala]] to solve the cold-case murder of [[Claudio Mardon (Prime Earth)|Claudio Mardon]], whose brother [[Marco Mardon (Prime Earth)|Marco]] had inherited the Mardon Cartel. She was caught and kidnapped by Mardon, requiring Barry to intervene. In the process he learned that Marco, known to him as the [[Weather Wizard]], had gained super-powers, just like [[Leonard Snart (Prime Earth)|Captain Cold]] had. In the meantime, Patty learned from another captive that it was Claudio's wife Elsa who had murdered him, and that she was manipulating Marco. Eventually, Marco learned of the betrayal, and killed her, allowing Flash to save Patty. Unfortunately, she was not eager to see him, as the sight of him reminded her of the loss of Barry. So, Barry decided not to reveal his identity to her yet. Later, Marco found himself recruited by [[Lisa Snart (Prime Earth)|Lisa Snart]] into a ''new'' version of the [[Rogues]].<ref>{{C|Flash Vol 4 10}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | To maintain the illusion of Barry Allen's death, Barry took up residence in [[Keystone City]], trying to keep a low profile. There, he got a job at a bar frequented by the Rogues, where [[Mick Rory (Prime Earth)|Heat Wave]] blamed Captain Cold for the dissolution of the Rogues. Flash was forced to intervene and have them arrested, but on their way to prison Lisa Snart, the Golden Glider, staged an escape for Heat Wave - but ''not'' her brother. All the while Darwin Elias continued to decry Flash's name in the streets.<ref>{{C|Flash Vol 4 11}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Captain Cold was rescued instead by the [[Hartley Rathaway (Prime Earth)|Pied Piper]], who had returned to crime-fighting in the Flash's absence, but the Piper's intent was not to let him go free. Cold was rescued from impending police capture, then, by [[Axel Walker (Prime Earth)|Axel Walker]], the Trickster, who claimed that the Rogues had reunited without Cold's involvement. Meanwhile, confused by Elias' turning on him, Barry learns that the physicist was ''using'' him to further his own studies. As Elias prepared to make the announcement for a green-energy monorail system, Barry was surprised to see the Golden Glider moving at a speed faster than anyone ''else'' could see, and she intended to ''murder'' Elias for what he did to the Rogues. When he was too late to stop her from injuring him, Barry realized he was being framed, when the public saw him holding the wounded Elias in his arms. In the confusion, the Rogues use the distraction to get away with stealing the monorail train, and storing it in the [[Mirror World]].<ref>{{C|Flash Vol 4 12}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Nearly 18 months before those events, Captain Cold had been leading the Rogues, and they had all obeyed a strict moral code - though it was a corrupted one. The failure of one of their jobs thanks to the Flash led to the Trickster being fired, but the failure and discord between his friends made Cold depressed. He was accosted by Dr. Elias, who offered him the chance to even the score with the Flash. This chance involved using the Genome Re-Coder to give them all powers. Unfortunately, the process went wrong, and though they were all given powers, his sister Lisa was rendered a ghostly projection while her body remained comatose. Her boyfriend [[Sam Scudder (Prime Earth)|Sam]], though, was trapped forever in the Mirror World. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Now that the reformed Rogues had spurned Captain Cold, he decided to team up with the Flash. Though they were successful, Cold turned on him, and came out the winner against ''both'' sides. Unfortunately, his success was short-lived, as the Gem Cities were about to be attacked by an army of [[Gorillas]].<ref>{{c|Flash Annual Vol 4 1}}</ref> |

||
| − | [[File:Flash Vol 4 13 Textless.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Grodd attacks Central City.]] |
||
| − | Shortly afterwards, a gorilla army led by Grodd attacks Central City. The Rogues realize they will need help to defeat them, so Weather Wizard wakes Flash up with a small rain. Knowing the danger Grodd represents, Flash agrees to a temporary alliance with the Rogues. As the Rogues fight the gorilla army, Flash chases after Grodd himself.<ref>{{c|Flash Vol 4 13}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Unfortunately, Grodd has supercharged himself with Speed Force energy, giving him an edge over Flash. As the two clash, Grodd maintains the upper hand and shatters Barry's mask. Just as Grodd is about to impale him with a metal sign-pole, [[Solovar (New Earth)|Solovar]], another gorilla, sacrifices his life to save Flash.<ref>{{c|Flash Vol 4 14}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Barry collapses from exhaustion, and Patty (who has discovered his identity) takes him to the house of his friend Manuel Lago's mother Malaya to recover. As he sleeps, Barry's mind watches every possible outcome his battle with Grodd could cause. Each outcome ends with Patty dead or seriously injured. Realizing that he cares too much for Patty to let that happen, Barry decides to surrender himself to Grodd.<ref>{{c|Flash Vol 4 15}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | As he wakes up, Barry explains his plan to Patty and they share a final moment together. As Flash faces Grodd in Dr. Elias's lab, he uses his powers to draw Grodd with him into the Speed Force, where they can end their conflict once and for all. Suddenly, a tank crashes next to them and Flash finds Iris in the cockpit.<ref>{{c|Flash Vol 4 16}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | To protect Iris from Grodd, Flash summons a woolly mammoth to tackle Grodd, hurling him into the farthest reaches of the Speed Force. Flash takes Iris and other people trapped inside the Speed Force back to Central City. Meanwhile, the Central City police department has already caused the gorillas to retreat, ending the invasion. Later, Barry meets up with Iris and realizes she has lost her memories of the Speed Force.<ref>{{c|Flash Vol 4 17}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Reverse=== |
||
| − | With the battle with Grodd over, Barry begins noticing that all the people trapped within the Speed Force have acquired speed powers after their release. Later, a group of people called the Outlanders attempt to break the Trickster out of prison. Flash attempts to stop them, but his powers disappear all of a sudden.<ref>{{c|Flash Vol 4 18}}</ref> Arming himself with supervillain weapons, Barry attempts to stop the Outlanders without his powers. Fortunately, his powers return and Flash is able to solve the situation without further incident.<ref>{{c|Flash Vol 4 19}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Later, Barry moves in with Patty. He also returns to work in the police department, albeit as a basement archivist. Patty tells Barry two of the Speed Force escapees have been murdered by a mysterious assailant. Flash goes to investigate Floyd Gomez, another escapee, believing that he might know something about the murders. However, Gomez refuses to cooperate and causes a train to derail, forcing Flash to let him go and save the train. Examinating one of the victim's corpse, Barry finds evidence that the killer might be [[Bar Torr (Prime Earth)|Kid Flash]].<ref>{{c|Flash Vol 4 20}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Flash chases Kid Flash all over the world and, after catching up to him, tries to explains his situation. However, Kid Flash does not trust him and is later extracted by the [[Teen Titans (Prime Earth)|Teen Titans]]. Flash is suspicious of Kid Flash's reluctance to talk about his past, but decides to let him go.<ref>{{c|Flash Vol 4 21}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Later, Flash creates a suit for Iris to wear, knowing that she has also inherited powers from the Speed Force. The suit is designed to protect her from the Speed Force killer. Investigating Albert Lim's murder scene together, they ask Patty to examine evidence they found. Remembering about the stolen monorail, Flash leaves Iris with Patty to question Dr. Elias, the monorail's creator, about his involvement. As soon as he arrives to Dr. Elias's lab, he finds the Speed Force killer attacking him.<ref>{{c|Flash Vol 4 22}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Flash and the killer fight each other and the killer reveals his plans to take the Speed Force for himself and alter time. Iris intervenes in the struggle and gets hurt and the killer drains Flash of his Speed Force energy, revealing himself to be Daniel, Iris' brother.<ref>{{c|Flash Vol 4 23}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | As Daniel travels to the past, he attempts to kill his father when he and Iris were kids. Flash drains his Speed Force energy and takes Daniel back to the present, where he is arrested for the murders he committed. As Flash ends his partnership with Dr. Elias, Barry reunites with Patty. After seeing what the Speed Force is capable of, Barry decides to reopen his father's case file and prove his innocence.<ref>{{c|Flash Vol 4 24}}</ref> |

| − | ===History Lessons=== |
||
| − | Barry is at a fancy restaurant with his friend Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern, who's about to go into space to lead the Lantern Corps. They're suddenly teleported to another planet, where Barry recalls their "first date." Flash and Green Lantern first met tracking down kidnapped children, when they discovered that the kids were being turned into gladiators for a tournament on War World. While Flash took the children back to their homes, unbeknownst to him, Green Lantern made a deal that the two of them would return and fight for the team that the children were representing. In the present, Barry and Hal win the tournament, but only one of them can fight the reigning champion for the title. Disconnected from the speed force, Barry uses Hal's ring to win the fight. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Tar Pit and Rainbow Raider have robbed every store on a city block, drawing the Flash's attention. While in pursuit of them, he finds a makeshift grave of skeletons. They're revealed to be old victims of a famous Keystone city serial killer. Barry believes he may have found his moms murderer, because the bodies died after the original killer was imprisoned, leading police to believe he had a partner. Flash discovers that the killer was actually a ghost that hopped from body to body, killing descendants of his old enemy, founder of the Gem Cities. The ghost can possess his own descendants indefinitely, so Darryl Frye alters police records to show that he is the most recent one, when it's actually Barry. Deadman possesses the Flash to prevent the ghost from getting to him first, and together they trap the ghost in the House of Mystery. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Out of Time=== |
||
| − | Five years in he future, the Flash arrives at the scene of a car crash. Iris West is being rolled away on a stretcher, and there's a dead teenager who Barry seems to recognize. 20 years in the future, the Flash sports a blue costume, and is talking about how much he's missed. A newspaper clipping on his wall reveals that the teen killed in the car accident is Wally West, Iris' nephew. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Barry is sent to talk to a criminal called Mogul about a murder that happened using his weapon. He looks into the murder further and discovers that many Central City villains' gadgets and weapons were stolen from the evidence locker during the Crime Syndicate's reign. Flash eventually finds the identity of the Mashup killer, Detective Seborne, and gets him arrested. |
||
| − | |||
| − | 20 years in the future, the Flash executes Gorilla Grodd, and then starts his journey back in time to kill himself. As he travels back, he sits with Captain Cold when he dies of cancer, and stops all of the other Rogues from ruining their lives. |
||
The Flash at last arrives at his last stop, 5 years in the future, on the day Wally dies. He saves Wally and Iris, but fatally injures the Barry from that time, who gives his power to Wally. Flash realizes that he has to travel back another five years to completely mend the rift in the Speed Force that caused him to miss Wally's accident, and is about to sacrifice the Flash from the present to use his energy. Wally from the time of the accident travels back and uses his own life force to heal the rift instead. |

Revision as of 13:24, 14 April 2019
Eleven died because I was late. The Speed Force is ruptured, and I've been slipping time for decades. The more I run, the more I lose. So I'm running back. I'm running back to fix it all. And to make sure--succeed or fail--idiots like you never hurt anyone again.

History
20 years in the future, the Flash executes Gorilla Grodd, and then starts his journey back in time to kill himself. As he travels back, he sits with Captain Cold when he dies of cancer, and stops all of the other Rogues from ruining their lives.
The Flash at last arrives at his last stop, 5 years in the future, on the day Wally dies. He saves Wally and Iris, but fatally injures the Barry from that time, who gives his power to Wally. Flash realizes that he has to travel back another five years to completely mend the rift in the Speed Force that caused him to miss Wally's accident, and is about to sacrifice the Flash from the present to use his energy. Wally from the time of the accident travels back and uses his own life force to heal the rift instead.
Powers and Abilities
Powers
- Speed Force Conduit: After being struck by a bolt of lightning and doused with chemicals, Barry gained access to a mysterious extra-dimensional energy field, called the Speed Force.
- Superhuman Speed: Barry is capable of moving at incredible speeds. While running, he can only be perceived as a blur.[1]
- Superhuman Reflexes: Barry possesses reflexes far greater than a normal human being. His great reflexes have allowed him to easily react to other speedsters.[2]
- Superhuman Stamina: Barry's body can handle the stress of moving at superhuman speeds for long periods of time without out getting tired or weak.[3]
- Superhuman Agility: Barry's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to superhuman levels. This allows him to easily make sharp turns and leap far distances while moving at superhuman speed.[3]
- Speed Force Aura: As explained by Barry Allen, a speedsters body is surrounded by a "friction cushion", which provides light protection from the nastier elements of their speed, including friction, airborne particulate matter, kinetic impacts, G-Force and the like.[4]
- Superhuman Durability: Barry is capable of resisting tremendous kinetic impact forces that could easily crush or kill a human, without suffering any serious external or internal injuries.[1]
- Electrokinesis: Barry's body generates large amounts of Speed Force energy that manifests itself as light-blue electricity. This Speed Force lightning constantly emanates off of Barry as an electrical aura.[5]
- Electro-Blast: Barry was capable of discharging a large blast of electricity from his body to knock back Gorilla Grodd.[1]
- Phasing: Barry can vibrate his molecules on an atomic level, allowing himself to become momentarily intangible, and phase through objects.[6]
- Time-Travel: Barry is capable of using his speed to break open barriers in the space-time continuum, to travel through time.
- Vortex Creations: By rotating his arms at super speed or running in a circular motion, Barry can create strong vortexes of wind.[7]
- Cybernetic Enhancement: Barry wears a high-tech cybernetic suit that enhances him in various areas.
- Cybernetic Regeneration: Barry's high-tech suit allows him to regenerate cybernetic limbs in place of his missing limbs. This was shown when his hand was blown off, and he quickly began regenerating a new cybernetic hand.[8]
- Superhuman Strength: Barry's cyber suit seemingly enhances his strength to levels greater than any other human. He has shown the strength to effortlessly lift and dangle grown men with a single arm.[9]
