## History

### Early Years

Barry Allen and a twin brother were born two weeks late, to Henry and Nora Allen in the small midwestern town of Fallville, Iowa. The brother was pronounced stillborn by Dr. Gilmore. However, in actuality, he had been born healthy, but given to another family, the Thawnes, whose child had died during birth. The lateness of Barry's birth only foreshadowed his bad habit of always being late. Barry grew up reading the adventures of his favorite superhero, Jay Garrick, the original Flash and acted many of his hero's adventures out with his friend and future actress, Daphne Dean.

When he was a child, his mother was killed, and his father was convicted of the crime. The drive to prove his father was innocent gave Barry a strong belief in justice.

### Teen Years

#### High School

Barry had a reputation for being slow and easy-going. On his first date, he went to a carnival. His date had wanted to put a little motion in his life, and they went on the roller-coaster first thing. Because of this, he developed a fear of rollercoasters, a fear that he didn't get rid of until much later in his life.

Barry loved chemistry from an early age, and that helped his skills as a farmer. He won first place in the Fallville County Fair Agricultural Competition, a prize which included a scholarship to Sun City University.

### College Years

He graduated in three years with a major in organic chemistry and a minor in criminology.

While a senior, Barry helped the authorities apprehend a bank robber, and he was offered a job as a police scientist for the Central City Police Department Scientific Detection Bureau. Eager to be in the sister city of his childhood hero's home, Keystone City, he accepted the offer.

After moving to Central City and getting an apartment with a laboratory in the back, Barry began dating *Picture News* reporter Iris West, whom he met while examining an apparent murder that she was reporting. She was charmed by his honesty and stability.

That night during an electrical storm, Barry returned to an experiment after a short break. All of a sudden, a bolt of lightning streaked through a window, shattered a chemical cabinet and covered Barry in the electrified chemicals. Dazed, he decided to return home in a taxi. However, the taxi started to pull away without noticing him. Barry sprinted after it, only to run straight past it as if it had been standing still. He decided to sit down and recollect his thoughts at a diner. A passing waitress accidentally spilled the items of her tray onto Barry, who amazingly caught them all in mid-air and returns them to the tray. The next day, Barry saved Iris from a stray bullet. There was no question about it: the freak accident had somehow given Barry superhuman speed!

### The Flash

Deciding to use his powers to help humanity, Barry designed a special costume. He used a special cold cast polyester he developed in college, which could be molded into miniature outfits from liquid material, that, when submerged in a special liquid, became sensitive to hydrogen, expanding on contact with the hydrogen in the air. A charge from a battery-powered ring he wore on his finger caused the fabric to release the extra hydrogen and shrink into the ring. He later revised the process, making the fabric sensitive to nitrogen instead. He called himself the Flash, a tribute to his childhood idol He briefly considered wearing a costume that would show his face, like Jay had, but decided that it would be best to wear a mask to conceal his true identity. The first villain he faced was the Turtle Man.

## Attributes

### Powers

* **Speed Force Generation**: Barry Allen is the very source and creator of the Speed Force, and generates it with every step he takes. For this very reason, he is unaffected if any other speedster tries to steal or drain his speed. Barry has shown that he cannot be stopped by any force if he absorbs the Speed Force.
	+ **Superhuman Speed**: Barry has the potential to be the fastest of the Flashes, and is arguably one of the fastest beings in all of existence. He is fast enough to easily outpace Superman, as well as break any dimensional barrier and even enter the Speed Force itself, and is one of the few people to have ever escaped from it. Barry is fast enough to run on actual photons, molecules, clouds and even ride on energy blasts. His speed is so immeasurable that he has moved faster than and reacted to and less than an attosecond (an attosecond is one quintillionth of a second. To put this in perspective, one attosecond is to one second, what one second is to the age of the universe). When lost in thought, he managed to travel 26 trillion miles, according to the Cosmic Treadmill. Flash has shown that he can appear in two places at once. Barry's speed is so impressive, that he was called upon Highfather himself, to join Metron and Lightray on a quest to enter the Source and to save Orion, cause he was the only one fast enough to do it. Without his powers, Barry's comparable to the **average track runner** and can run at least **20 mph.** He can effortless run on a stream of water, even while carrying two people at the same time. Barry's even fast enough to run on flying chunks of debris. His super speed also makes Barry immune to time being slowed down to a near halt. When Snapper Carr challenged Barry’s speed to a computer’s search engine for **Ohm’s Law,** Barry found the description instantly, before the computer finished searching for the info. Flash is so fast that even Mopee **a Heavenly Helpmate,** struggles to keep up with him and needs to catch his breathe. Even with just one leg, Superman being blind, Green Arrow without arms, Hawkman with asthma and Green Lantern with stuttering; Barry and the Justice League of America are still capable of using their powers to defeat Brain Storm.
		- **Invisibility**: On Earth-One, Barry Allen could use his super-speed to turn invisible.
	+ **Superhuman Reflexes**: Barry possesses reflexes far greater than a normal human being. This allows him to easily react to danger and events and perceive the world in slow motion. Despite being powerless, Barry's fast enough to tag Wally West with Mr. Element's **element gun.**  Due to his time of having superspeed, his reflexes became discipline enough to allow him to catch Sinestro's Yellow Power Ring, when it was flying through the air due to an explosion, even without his powers. Managed to dodge Black Manta's blast beams (operates on eyebrow movement and blinking) while in the back of a car. Along with avoiding a collision between Wally West and Donny Troy, with no superspeed.
	+ **Superhuman Stamina**: Barry's body can handle the stress of moving at superhuman speeds for extended periods of time without getting tired or weak. Survived having enough **PCP/Angel Dust** in his system that's enough to kill an elephant, for more than a week. When fighting alongside the Justice League of America, Barry and the rest of the League fought non-stop, for nearly 24 hours.
	+ **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.
	+ **Superhuman Hearing**
	+ **Superhuman Strength**: In order to keep in shape, the Flash routinely engages in **super speed exercises.**  Barry's strong enough to carry King Solovar from Central City all the way to Gorilla City, in Africa. He even carried Gorilla Grodd back up to the surface, from a subterranean world. Both Barry and Wally each pushed a heavy steel cable drum, to use to wrap up a giant. Barry manages an out of control car with rapid fire pushes at super speed. Barry grabbed and pushed an ambulance all the way to a car accident and even managed to bring it to a complete halt. He carried all of the blocks of a pyramid and rebuilt it in a few seconds. Flash has also carried and lifted a giant glass prism with Batman inside it. Barry even managed to carry Elasti-Woman on his back while she was growing, supporting her weight long enough to grab a rocket, before it reached the atmosphere. He even managed to carry an 8'3 tall wooden life-size carving of Bork, with the option of either both hands or just one, to even pulling it on a tether. Even while groggy and weakened, Flash has the strength to throw an mystic **Ankh** hard enough, hurling it into deep space. Barry has shown being strong enough to hold onto the wing of commercial airliner, while it's already 20,000 feet in the air. Managed to move several tons of debris and rip off a car door with just his hands. Barry even managed to stop a train that was moving at top speed, bringing it to a dead halt by acting as its braking effect. When serious, Flash can even harm the likes of Superman, with his punches. Flash has thrown several tons of giant rocks at the Shaggy Man II, is strong enough to actually lift him over his head & carry Shaggy Man II over a considerable distance, without experiencing any sign of fatigue. Barry pulled a time traveling vehicle to a halt when it was in motion and shown capable of maintaining his grip on the vehicle when traveling through time.
	+ **Speed Force Aura**: The Speed Force manifests an aura around the speedster and whatever they are carrying, protecting them from adverse effects of their speed, such a friction with the air, airborne particulate matter, kinetic impacts, G-Force and the like.
		- **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, making him much more durable than any human. He has even survived blows from Superman himself, when they were forced to fight. According to Barry, all of his years of super speeding has toughened his body up, that even without his aura he can survive in a vacuum with no oxygen and air pressure.
	+ **Accelerated Healing**: Like all conduits of the Speed Force, Barry is capable of regenerating from harm much faster than any normal human.
	+ **Dimensional Travel**: Barry is capable of breaking the dimensional barrier with his speed to traverse between dimensions, to enter the Speed Force at will. Barry and Wally pierced the dimension barrier to the world of Ikora, after Wally regained his memory of being Kid Flash. When Barry traveled to Earth-2 and met Jay Garrick, he vibrated his body and moved at super speed in order to get there. He repeated the process in almost the exact same way, but only just by vibrating instead. Flash along with Batman, through the right vibratory velocity have transcended the very laws of time and space, where they traversed the **Valley of Limbo.** Barry managed to escape the Phantom Zone by vibrating his molecules, since the zone couldn't take the teleportation of his Earth Molecules.
	+ **Decelerated Aging**: Along with every speedster that draws from the speed force, the loved ones of the speedsters will gain eternal youth like Jay's wife and Barry's wife ages have shown.
	+ **Electrokinesis**: As the generator of the Speed Force, Barry is the very source of the electrical Speed Force energy that all speedsters generate. This Speed Force lightning emanates off of him, especially when moving at super-speed.
		- **Negate Anti-Life Equation**: Barry is capable of negating the effects of Darkseid's Anti-Life Equation, through physical contact of his Speed Force energy.
	+ **Enhanced Mental Process**: Barry's mental capacities are greatly enhanced by the Speed Force, allowing him to think at the speed of light and perceive events that last less than an attosecond. He is also capable of reading at superhuman rates, accumulating mass amounts of knowledge in seconds. However, unlike his grandson, the knowledge does not stay in his memory very long and disappears after a short time.
	+ **Enhanced Senses**: The Speed Force grants Barry enhanced senses that allow him to perceive the world at a rate attuned to his reaction speed.
		- **Superhuman Hearing**: Barry can hear supersonic sounds, due to his super swift body being geared to those vibrations.
		- **Enhanced Vision**: Barry can see objects and beings that are rendered invisible at normal speed, but visible to him at superspeed.
		- **Precognition**: Barry possesses a sixth sense that warns him of danger.
		- **Cheating Death**: Despite being accurately preordained to die according to the **Photo-Synth,** Barry changed the result of outsmarting fate by outrunning his own image. He even managed to kill Death in Iris’s Dream when he traveled to the Dream Dimension.
	+ **Flight**: Barry can achieve aerial locomotion either by creating cyclones or spinning his body like a propeller. Like his nephew Wally, Barry's capable of running in the frictionless vacuum of space/time or even from beyond the life barrier without need of a solid surface to run along. By running around the Earth until he reaches escape velocity, allows Barry to traverse through outer space, while providing internal vibrations so that he can remain in jet-propelled thrust for flight. Flash can also rotate his arms to create vortexes that can help him fly through the air or create a cushion of air to land safely. When kicking his feet at super speed, he can create an air cushion or an updraft. Flash can even propel himself into the sky, flying around in the air, at the expense of shedding his **body cells.**
		- **Interstellar Travel**: One of the most advanced ways Speed Force users fly is by directing one's own atomic-molecular motion in the direction one wishes to travel in, i.e. syncing his vibrational frequency with those of ultra-light waves to traverse planetary distances with ease. By running around the Earth until he reaches escape velocity, Barry can soar throughout outer space, as long as he provides internal vibrations to grant him jet-propelled thrust in mid-flight. Barry escapes off a planetoid and returns to Earth by reaching the escape velocity after Abra Kadabra sends him into space.
	+ **Molecular Acceleration**: Barry can vibrate his own molecular structure at varying degrees for a number of purposes. By vibrating his vocal cords, Flash can alter his **voice,** disguising it so that no one can discover his identity via auditory. Barry can push his vibrations even further to alter his **molecules** and **atoms** and those of others, he can even scatter and shake them a part. He can draw billions of molecules into a single chain reaction, with his vibrations. Flash can even counter paralysis with super speed by vibrating in order to get the molecules active again. Whether to seal up breaches in dimensions, create duplicates of himself for short time, and re-structure his body whether being physically morphed and/or being dissembled at the atomic level thus allowing him to develop a resistance to atomic reconstruction and molecular destruction; resulting in him having complete mastery over his **molecules** and **atoms.** Due to his mastery over his atoms and molecules, he can turn his molecules into **super conductors** to counteract extreme temperatures. He even managed to restore himself even after his molecules were scattered across **time and space.** E.g. by vibrating at super speed, Barry can detect the directions of broadcast signals to different tv stations, electrons, etc., by adjusting to different frequencies (can vibrate at hundreds of varying frequency levels) to home in on their point of origin. He can use his super speed vibrations to make a **dimensional window,** that has no more substance than a mirage. Barry can create vibration-frequencies swift enough to let objects or people pass through each other harmlessly, even when they leave his physical contact. He has used his vibrations to allow himself to be able to run on actual photons, electrons, molecules, clouds, tornadoes, and even ride on controlled energy blasts. Flash even managed to prevent the destruction of **all time and space**/DC Universe, by sending our **ultra-vibrations** from his hands into the sky and neutralized the lethal energy inside Iris West Allen. Something that not even Doctor Fate's magic could prevent. Flash can use his superspeed vibrations to his maintain his molecules in a **non-solid state** to survive in an **ocean of lava,** causally passing through him. He can survive and think for several hours after being turned into a puddle. Barry can even cause **instant disintegration,** as shown when he destroyed a helicopter blade by using ultra intense vibration waves. He can even use his vibrations to cancel out a magic spell that kept his astral body and subconscious mind trapped in a nightmare dream world.
		- **Phasing**: By vibrating his molecules on an atomic level, and by doing so at just the right frequency, Barry can allow himself to become momentarily intangible, and phase through objects such as walls and people. Barry even vibrate other people's molecules to allow them to pass through solid objects and can even do it, when throwing them at superspeed. Barry can push his vibrations even further, by shifting his **atoms** to phase through solid objects. Due to his mastery over his atoms and molecules, Barry can adjust his vibratory frequency to even phase through energy/radiation.
		- **Bio-Fusion**: Flash merged with a version of himself, when he was in the Dream Dimension, battling Death itself. Barry can even merge his atoms with other people, including other **speedsters** (Jay Garrick and Wally West) to become a **superior speedster Flash.**
	+ **Photokinesis**
	+ **Magnetic Manipulation**: By vibrating at super-speed, Flash can create multiple magnetic fields.
	+ **Shock Wave Projection**: By just clapping his hands, Barry can release a devastating sound wave that can not only mess with a person's hearing and cause great pain, but can even destroy steel and crush cars. Flash can even interfere with the sound waves from a person's voice, with a invisible vortex.
	+ **Time-Travel**: Barry first traveled through time when he helped Mazdan travel back to the future. While searching for Iris West, Barry breaks through the time barrier to look for her, after reuniting with Iris; he breaks through the time barrier again so that they can return home. Barry is capable of using his speed to break the time barrier, allowing him to travel throughout various points in time. Barry can even run 2 seconds into the future, without the Cosmic Treadmill. He was the one who taught Wally how to time travel, by relying on their powers, back when Wally was still starting off as Kid Flash. Even without the Cosmic Treadmill, Barry and Wally were capable of traveling through the timestream, to the year 3780; by running at super speed and vibrating at the same time. Also, Barry and Jay Garrick have ran for centuries and eons on the timestream and made it to the **end of time.** He even helped his granddaughter Jenni Ognats, reenter the timestream without the use of a Cosmic Treadmill.
		- **Reality Alteration**: By preventing events in the past while time-traveling, Barry can unintentionally alter the present reality. This was displayed when Barry traveled back in time and saved his mother from being killed, and accidentally altered the entire universe, creating the Flashpoint timeline. Barry even managed to restore color to Central City, by utilizing his powers to create ultra-intense vibration waves.
	+ **Vortex Creations**: By rotating his arms at super speed or running in a circular motion, Barry can manipulate the airflow around him to create strong vortexes of wind. He can create tornadoes using his super speed by running around a circular motion and even run up the outside of a column of smoke and a tornado, like on a spiral staircase. Barry can even create a whirlwind that can suck and bring his enemies to him. They're even strong enough to rip out the foundation of the Turtle Man's dome shelled hideout. Flash can even create a vacuum, sucking up the air to create an effect that can cause objects or people to be pulled together. He can even blow back colored beams of light with his whirlwind vortexes. Barry can create a whirlwind with just his finger, that's even strong enough to blow off Hal Jordan's Green Lantern Ring.

### Abilities

* **Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced)**: Barry reveals that he was taught by Batman, has had advanced police training and has trained with the Justice League of America, that teaches members how to protect and fight at the beginning of membership. After being trained by Dexter Myles, Barry learned how to improve his **concentration,** thus by doing **nothing** and rolling with attacks in a fight by relaxing his body, which aided him in battle against a trio of thugs, when he was suffering under the effects of a virus. Flash managed to beat **Mad Hagdar** in deep space combat. Barry can throw a **1000 punches** in the time someone else would hit once and within a **split-instant,**  relinquish a **few million high speed punches,** can even deliver **millions of blows** within a short time frame, and unleash **millions of foot stomps** in a **single second,** if he desires. Even when half his body was paralyzed, both he and a weakened Superman still put up a fight and defeated 3 Phantom Zone criminals. Due to his time in suspended animation by Snart’s Cold Gun had given Barry the effects of a rest cure, resulting in Flash’s speed and attacks becoming sharper. When enraged and with **PCP/Angel Dust** in his system, it took Hal Jordan, Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman combined, just to subdue Barry. After an intense war with Goldface, Barry finally managed to beat him in their final battle. Both Barry and Jay were the first beings capable of beating Tempus in combat. Without using his superspeed behind his punch, he managed to knock Clive Yorkin off his body, who had 10 times the strength than Yorkin usually does. Easily subdued the Floronic Man and Blockbuster when they possessed Wonder Woman and Batman's bodies. Barry has shown capable of helping take down the Key's bodyguards and send Amazo flying with a punch alongside the Elongated Man, without powers. Barry also has defeated a **4th dimensional duplicate** of Hal Jordan, who possessed all of Hal’s memories and even a more powerful version of his Green Lantern Ring; a feat that not even Hal could accomplish. Even with **a leg broken in two places,** Barry spent multiple weeks fighting and training alongside the Blackhawk Squadron during **World War II.** While possessed, he even managed to beat the Spectre in combat, forcing him to run away and lure Barry into a trap, in order to be defeated. Barry has shown he possesses a certain level of **emotional control** when fighting his enemies, thus can fight without feelings and emotional attachment. After receiving a beating from Flashpoint Batman, even with a near broken arm with a broken finger, Barry has shown being quick enough to dodge his attack without looking and punch Thomas in the chest.

* **Indomitable Will**
* **Chemistry**
* **Criminology**
* **Investigation**
* **Genius Level Intellect**: A incredibly intelligent scientist, that even Lightray confirms that **Flash** has a brilliant mind. Barry managed to create his own **automation/robot** out of his own **Flash costume** and **miniature transistor circuits.** Saw through the illusion made from Abra Kadabra, where he tried to convince Barry he wasn't **the Flash.** Doctor Light even respects Flash's intelligence believing Flash would figure out part of his plan to destroy the Justice League, except Barry managed to figure out Dr. Light's entire plan just by being faster. Figured out how to repress **the Nok** into a docile state, when the alien that originally captured it couldn't do it. When Barry came across an **advanced ancient alien solar tablet,** and he was capable of repairing it. Flash even managed to come up with plans that managed to incapacitate the Shaggy Man and Shaggy Man II, for a limited time. The two hyper intelligent aliens known as **Duus** and **Unuus** from a planet light years more advanced than Earth, stated that Barry’s smarter than they evaluated. While in the Dream Dimension Death itself remarks on Barry's intelligence, claiming that he's clever.
* **Pedagogy**: Barry has trained Wally West in everything he knows. A time traveler known as **Kryad,** claims that Flash's mind is a excellent source of instruction.
* **Tactical Analysis**
* **Leadership**: Back when the Justice League of America first started. Barry was considered the leader of the group over Hal Jordan, as chosen by Black Canary, Martian Manhunter and Aquaman. Even Hal Jordan recognizes Barry as a better leader than him.
* **Stealth**
* **Acting**: Barry has had stage-training back in college, which aided him to develop the **Flash ID.** He also received acting lessons from Dexter Myles, when preparing for his role of Horatio for the Hamlet play. Barry showed that he's so skilled in acting that he managed to act out the entire case of Hamlet by himself, as the Flash. He even managed to play a convincing role of being an old man, that managed to fool the Top. While under the moniker of **the Dude,** Barry fooled most of the Rouges into thinking he's a fellow **Rouge.**

* **Acrobatics**: Barry can maneuver through and can even jump on flying debris.
* **Athletics**: Barry has shown an affinity for Basketball and Table Tennis.
* **Peak Human Balance**: Barry has shown to been able to run and walk on high wires, proving that he has good balance. He can even carry two people at once, while running on a stream of water. Even with his legs stolen by Mirror Master, Flash was capable of using and balancing on his hands to move at superspeed, instead.
* **Adaptability**: The Flash has stated that he's a fast learner. Barry has shown that he can adjust to almost any scenario, such as when he was switching between powers unexpectedly, between **Green Lantern,** **Hawkman,** **Aquaman** and the **Atom.** Despite being forced to operate with one leg, Barry still managed to engage in a fight with the rest of Justice League of America against Brain Storm, when they all had physical handicaps. Even when blind, he's capable of dodging bullets with his super-fast hearing. He can use his hearing to catch the Shade and maneuver through multiple obstacles at super speed, without his sight. Also, Barry managed to defeat the assassin Saber Tooth when he went blind, due to chemicals being in his eyes. He even compensated for his lack of eyesight, by maintaining constant internal vibrations while running at superspeed, to make sure he didn't hit anything. When his legs were replaced, Flash resorted to moving with a handstand at superspeed, to compensate. Barry even did it again, resorting to using a handstand to take out Mirror Master, when his legs were encased in **liquid-mirror.** Along with him utilizing a handstand and his feet to defeat a **projected energy being.**  Even when the world was **turned upside down,** Flash managed to regain his reflexes, coordination, and sense of balance, by practicing the basic skills of basketball non-stop, for several minutes. Barry's even capable of fighting effectively, even while in water. Even when suffering from a broken leg, he’s shown capable of traversing throughout the city while in a wheelchair.Barry can even utilize a Green Lantern Ring and Blue Lantern Ring.

### Weaknesses

* **Hyper-Metabolism**: While moving at accelerated speeds, Barry burns calories much faster than a normal person. While breaking down food far more efficiently, it requires him to consume large amounts of nutrients.
* **Allergies**: Barry is allergic to wisteria.
