Flash (Barry Allen) (Post-Crisis)

==Summary==
Barry Allen is The Flash. His position is a legacy in the Flash Family, a successor to the original Flash, Jay Garrick, and predecessor to Wally West. He is a founding member of the Justice League of America.
Barry was struck by a lightning bolt in his lab on a stormy night, the event would lead him to gain powers from the Speed Force, a cosmic force that grants its users super speed and many other physics defying powers. Barry is the conduit to the Speed Force as the Speed Force was created when Barry was struck, creating a paradox and becoming the power source of all speedsters. Barry would become The Flash, the fastest man alive, and become one of the world's greatest heroes, before sacrificing his life to foil the Anti-Monitor's plans.
Following the events of Final Crisis, Barry would finally return from the dead and would return to the role of Central City's Flash. After finding out Professor Zoom had murdered his mother and toyed with Barry's history as vengeance, out of paranoia and grief, Barry ran back in time to stop Professor Zoom from killing his mother, creating the Flashpoint and altering history into a nightmarish reality. Barry would then force himself to let his mother die in order to save the world and reset the timeline again.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Energy Construct Creation: Speed Force conduits can use the matter generated by their speed to create solid objects such as walls or bridges. This power requires constant concentration and reapplication of the construct for it to remain stable. Flash's afterimages are also created constructs.
*Flight: Speed Force conduits can rotate their arms and spin their bodies like tops to achieve something of a kind of helicopter flight. However, with practice conduits can even achieve controllable flight if launched at high speeds. Despite their flight abilities, they are always faster on their feet.
*Phasing: Speed Force conduits can vibrate their molecules so quickly that they can achieve intangibility for short bursts allowing them to phase through objects.
*Sharing the Force: Speed Force conduits can allow their friends or family members to run alongside them at their equaled speeds. Certain conduits who may only have minor access to the Force may achieve full levels of the Force due to the main conduit's association with it.
*Speed Force Aura: People who are propelled by the conduits during high-speed situations can survive the harsh conditions associated with mach speeds. When the conduit must rescue an individual from a burning building these individuals will be protected while within the aura.
*Vortex Creations: Speed Force conduits that plant themselves on the ground and rotate their extremities can cause an incredible amount of wind to burst through their focused funnel. Most Speedsters use this ability automatically when they run, reducing the air currents around their body to low enough levels to no longer inhibit their speed. Creatively, Speedsters can create tornadoes and gusts with their arms.
