God (Barry Allen)

## God

* Civilian
* God
* The Flash

**God** (March 14, 1989 - March 14, 2023; resurrected himself March 14, 2023) was a scientist in the Criminal and Forensic Science Division of the Central City Police Department, and after 9 years of being The Flash, he later became **God** and sat on the Throne of Heaven and became the Sovereign of Heaven. He is known as **Nathaniel "Nate"** when he was a Nephilim, and he is also known as **Bartholomew Henry "Barry" Allen** on Earth. He is the son of Lucifer Morningstar and the late Nora Allen, the paternal half-brother of Elaine Morningstar, the foster son turned ex-son-in-law of Joe West, the ex-husband of Iris West, the ex-brother-in-law of Wally West (commonly known as **Kid Flash**), the father of Nora Allen and his future children Bart Allen, his archangels, and his angels, and the archenemy/cousin of Eobard Thawne (commonly known as the **Reverse-Flash**).

Barry's mother was murdered when he was 11 years old on March 18, 2000 and the blame was wrongfully placed on his father. He was taken in by Joe West and ended up staying with him and his daughter, Iris West. Barry dedicated the rest of his life to proving his father's innocence. After the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator exploded, causing a giant thundercloud to form, Barry was struck by lightning from a cloud, falling into a coma for nine months. When he woke up from his coma, Barry discovered that he had developed superhuman speed and various other abilities derived from it. Using these powers to protect Central City, he began acting as the meta-human superhero known as the **Flash**, initially referred to by the media as the **Red Streak**, the **Streak** and the **Blur**, stylized as the "**Scarlet Speedster**".

Barry spent the next several months fighting crime, taking down numerous meta-human villains and other criminal elements, assisted by Team Flash. All the while, he worked with Joe to get Henry out of prison and with Harrison Wells to get faster and develop his abilities. Barry later found out that the latter was the evil speedster Eobard Thawne from the future, having stolen Wells' identity, and the man who murdered his mother. In a final confrontation between the two, Eobard gave Barry the chance to undo what he did in exchange for assistance in returning to his time. Barry decided against doing this, which ultimately led to Eobard's ancestor killing himself to erase Eobard from existence.

Several months later, Barry finally saw his dad become a free man using a video will left by Eobard. It was also at this time Barry came under attack by meta-humans from Earth-1667 led by Zoom, another evil speedster who needed Barry's speed to prevent himself from dying. Barry is eventually forced to comply to save Wally West, temporarily becoming a normal human again until Team Flash worked to get him his speed back. Barry soon after defeated Zoom, but not before his father is murdered in front of him. This sends Barry into a depression, and, not thinking clearly, goes back in time to save his mother, creating another timeline.

After Barry undid Flashpoint, a causal loop was created with a possible future of Iris dying in front of Barry. A time remnant of Barry from this future was created, and after being shunned for not being the original Barry he became a powerful, mythical, armored speedster, known as **Savitar**. After his transformation into Savitar, he sought to ensure his existence by murdering Iris in order to drive his younger self into the circumstances that led to his creation. When battling his younger self he referred to himself as the **Future Flash**. He was later erased from existence after he failed to recreate the circumstances of his own creation. However, this victory was short-lived; Barry was forced to enter and remain in the Speed Force indefinitely to save the world.

Barry was eventually freed thanks to the efforts of Team Flash, though in the process accidentally created more meta-humans. The self-described Fastest Man Alive was forced to take on the Fastest Mind Alive, Clifford DeVoe, who wished to revert humanity to a time before technology. It was also during this time Iris and Barry got married after fighting invaders from Earth-1001 and Team Flash first encountered Nora West-Allen, not realizing until much later on that she was the daughter of Barry and Iris from the future who had traveled back in time to help stop Cicada. Although conflict arose when it came to light that Nora was working with Eobard Thawne in secret, the three of them grew immensely close. However, when Cicada II was defeated, a new timeline was formed, resulting in Nora being erased from the timeline, leaving Barry and Iris devastated.

When Barry was "possessed" by Ramsey Rosso/Bloodwork after the latter infected Barry's blood cells while he was saving Ralph's life, Cisco nicknamed him **Dark Flash**. Barry was restored to normal when Allegra Garcia used her powers to cure everyone affected by Rosso's disease.

During a battle against a enemy, and all heroes fought against this enemy, and thanks to Oliver Queen's sacrifice as the Spectre, he and the other Trinity members were able to defeat the enemy. Barry also founded the Crisis team and worked to honor the memory of his close friend and mentor.

Following the destruction of the Speed Force, Barry's powers slowly started to run out, forcing him and the team to seek out a way to create a new Speed Force. He also faced new enemies in Godspeed, Black Hole, and Eva McCulloch. While the artificial Speed Force machine succeeded in restoring his speed, it came at the price of Barry losing his morals and emotional attachment, forcing them to destroy the machine. After the sudden return and help of the resurrected Earth-1666 Harrison Wells, Team Flash found an alternate usage for the Speed Force machine. Channeling the residual Speed Force energy Iris from her various interactions with speedsters through hers and Barry's love for others into the machine, they were able to restore the Speed Force and Barry's powers.

However, unbeknownst to Barry, the restoration of the Speed Force also resulted in the birth of three other forces; the Strength Force, the Sage Force and the Still Force. These forces allegedly attacked the Speed Force, forcing her to flee into a human form. Barry went head to head with Fuerza, Psych and Deon Owens, the hosts of the respective forces. However, it transpired that the Speed Force desired to kill all the forces, killing their hosts in the process, an act Barry was staunchly against. Instead, he opted to travel back in time and prevent the existence of the forces to begin with; but he ultimately changed his mind and allowed their existence; while managing to broker peace between the forces. And after all of that Barry had fall in love with Alexa/Fuerza, as Iris cheated on him.

Soon after, Barry and his team are forced to contend with the brewing Godspeed War, masterminded by an artificial speedster August Heart, who seeks to become the God of Speed by stealing Barry's recently enhanced speed. It's only with the help of many speedster/celestial allies, including the revived Eobard Thawne, that August was defeated and killed by both speedsters. Then after, Barry and Alexa along with Remiel, were teleported/time traveled to the day God, Barry's Grandfather first appeared on Earth. Barry then helped Chloe Decker with a murder, and they started to fall in love as well.

Six days later the powerful alien Despero shows up in Los Angeles determined to kill Barry for supposedly creating an event that will end the world. After proving his honorableness to the alien, Despero agrees to give Barry seven days to prove he will not cause Armageddon.  Unfortunately, events quickly turn sour as Barry is suspended from his job as a CSI at the CCPD, before learning that S.T.A.R. Labs is being shut down and demolished. Barry is forced to destroy Gideon to protect his identity. Not long afterwards, Barry encounters Xotar, where he falls to prey to her abilities, causing him to temporarily lose his mind and mindlessly attack his friends, until he snaps out of it. After later defeating Xotar, Barry, for unknown reasons, attacks Central City and Los Angeles, an event caught on the news, although he does not remember doing it. After mentioning celebrating with Joe and Cecile, Barry is stunned to learn that Joe was dead, and had been for six months. After escaping another attack from Despero, Barry, feeling overwhelmed by recent events, calls for Black Lightning’s help at the Hall of Justice. After discovering that Eobard Thawne, Barry's cousin was behind it all along. He briefly became the **Reverse-Flash** and afterwards, he was able to defeat Despero and remove Thawne's speed, finally ending Armageddon.

Then after spending some quality time with God, Barry learned that He was going to retire, leading to a war between him and and his Uncle Michael over who would take His place, even if God said that Barry was to be the heir, the former becoming determined to win after Michael caused Dan Espinoza's death. Though it seemed Michael was victorious after killing Chloe, Barry sacrificed himself to resurrect her from Heaven, finally admitting his love for her. Lucifer's selfless action resulted in his own resurrection as the new God with all present taking a knee before him.

Not longer after, a powerful entity named Deathstorm appeared trying to take Caitlin as his bride. In the end, Frost sacrificed her life to defeat Deathstorm and save Caitlin.

In the weeks following these events, Negative versions of the Forces took possession of the Positive Forces through Alexa's time sickness and gave Thawne his speed back. In the final confrontation between Flash and Thawne; who had both become gods at that point from absorbing the powers of the positive and negative Forces, after one last warning to his nemesis and with all other options exhausted, Barry killed Thawne by turning his powers against him and broke the Negative Forces' grip on the positives.

One week after Thawne’s final defeat, a new group of Rogues started collecting the pieces to build a Time Machine for their leader the Red Death. In the end, Barry defeated and imprisoned Red Death and her team.

A few weeks after these events, Ramsey Rosso returned to defeat Team Flash and compete his mission. In the process, Ramsey took control of Wally West's mind, and made him kill Barry. Oliver Queen brought Barry back to life approximately ten minutes after he died and helped Barry defeat Ramsey once and for all.

After Rosso’s final defeat, the Negative Speed Force chose a new avatar to replace its old one. When it’s new avatar Eddie Thawne accepted its power, Eddie traveled back in time to kill Barry with the aid of all of Barry’s old speedster enemies. After getting through to Eddie and finding harmony between the Positive and Negative Speed Forces, Barry gave his speedster powers to new speedsters.

Then weeks later, Barry decided it was time to be **God**. So he went to Heaven and sat on the throne and become the Sovereign of Heaven, and he created new Angels and Archangels as he was the new God and he wanted to occasionally take time away from Heaven, and came to the decision that he will take turns going to Heaven and going to Earth to be with his family.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **God physiology**: Gods are nigh-omnipotent celestial beings of extreme age who are responsible for the creation of the universe and all of its contents. They are the only beings that stand above angels.
	+ **Nigh-Omnipotence**: Gods are more powerful than all other species. They can easily destroy any angel or demon, even the most powerful ones, such as Lucifer or Amenadiel.
		- **Invulnerability**: Gods are invulnerable to anything lower than them.
		- **Immortality**: Gods live forever and cannot be killed by most means.
		- **Extreme strength**: Gods possess enormous levels of physical strength, surpassing all other species. God was able to grip Dan's hand with enormous strength that caused him great pain. Goddess instinctively pushed a robber during a brief struggle with him sending him flying across a parking lot and into the wall, which effectively killed him. Later on, she grew strong enough to effortlessly lift Amenadiel into the air.
		- **Resurrection**: Gods can resurrect the dead. God was able to resurrect Lucifer following his brief death at the hands of Malcolm Graham. Goddess, after regaining a great deal of her power was able to resurrect her deceased vessel Charlotte Richards as she left for a void. Barry was able to bring back Alexa Rivera when she was hit hard and died during the battle with the Legion of Zoom.
		- **Flight:** Gods can traverse interdimensional barriers, such as the ones between Heaven, Hell, and Earth. God traveled from Heaven to Earth to stop Lucifer, Amenadiel and Michael's fight. Barry still has his wings as he can fly down as well.
		- **Weather Manipulation:** When Lucifer and Michael were arguing during the family dinner, God created a thunderstorm in His displeasure. Barry is able to do this as well.
		- **Reality Warping:** God is able to control reality, as He was able to make music play, and shine colorful lights out of nowhere. He was also able to make Himself win by hitting each hole on the first try while playing golf. He was able to explode Dan and then instantly put him back together. Barry is able to do the same on his Earth.
		- **Mental Manipulation:** God made people, and human corpses, participate in impromptu musical dance numbers, without them being disturbed by that, and then removed all their memories. Angels seem to have a slight immunity to this, as Lucifer expressed confusion when it occurred and remembered it happening, with him later stating that he just got caught up in the music. However, Amenadiel seems as susceptible to this as the humans around him. After exploding Dan, He made it so that all humans in the surroundings forgot it happened, although Dan seemed to have trace memories of the experience. Barry is able to do the same.
		- **Power Stripping:** After listening Lucifer's advice, God decided to become human and put His power into Charlie's toy. After finishing His day as human, He took back His power, and became God once again. So Barry could take away his powers if he wanted to.
		- **Molecular Combustion:** God was able to kill Dan by making him explode. So it's safe to say Barry can too.
		- **Chronokinesis:** God is able to unfreeze time upon His arrival on Earth. After Lucifer and other people finished their musical dance number on football field, He reversed time and returned all of them to the positions they were in before they started dancing. God reversed time to put Dan back together after killing him. So Barry could do the same.
		- **Desire Exhibition:** Barry, much like his father, displays the ability to draw out people's hidden desires, akin to hypnosis, mind control, or telepathy, and by extension lower their inhibitions. Some scenes suggest that if he applies enough of this power, he can actively compel people to confess internal secrets, sins, and truths, but he usually doesn't. It is revealed in one chapter that Barry must maintain eye contact for his power to work. Even after he became God, Barry kept this power so he could be connected to his father.
	+ **Nigh-Omniscience**: Gods possess nearly an infinite amount of knowledge, being aware of nearly everything that happens.
	+ **Cosmic Awareness**: Barry knows the knowledge of all the universes out there.
	+ **Superhuman strength**: Although lower than her original level, Barry is able to hold back a punch from a powerful angel like Michael.

* **Strength Force connection/Meta-human physiology:** After the positive forces returned, Alexa gave Barry access to the Strength Force.

* **Speed Force connection/Meta-human physiology:** Barry's powers comes from his connection to the Speed Force, gained when struck by dark matter lightning and exposed to several chemicals. This altered and supercharged his DNA, cells and neurotransmitters. It also augmented his bones, joints, tissue and entire physiology well-beyond peak human condition to easily handle the rigors of his powers. High-level friction, inertia, air pressure, reduced oxygen, vectors, and kinetic impact no longer affect him. After regaining his powers from inside the Speed Force, his connection to and understanding of it improved considerably, with a newfound instinctual control and efficiency, and his improved natural performance unhindered. After Oliver Queen as the Spectre unlocked Barry's full potential, restoring the Speed Force after its destruction, and bringing harmony between the four Forces of Nature, Barry's powers were greatly augmented, reaching the highest known performance of any natural speedster in existence. Barry is also the avatar of the Speed Force, making him one of the most powerful beings in the entire multiverse.
	+ **Accelerated healing factor:** Barry's molecules move at accelerated rates, mending damage far quicker and more efficiently than normal humans. Without treatment, most damage heals in under a day with no lingering signs. Even normally permanent damage, like paraplegia, is completely repaired in under a week. His body can break down food more efficiently and, as a result, expels very little waste products that he can exhale through his skin. After the Speed Force was restored, Barry's healing powers further increased, able to recover from the most grievous of injuries in under an hour.
		- **Superhuman immunity:** Due to Barry's accelerating healing factor, he is immune to most types of diseases, illnesses, sickness, drugs, poisons, toxins, etc. He also has greater resilience to radiation than normal humans, only suffering minor burns from it. 2,000 milligrams of horse tranquilizer only momentarily slowed him down until his body burned through it.
		- **Superhuman longevity:** Due to Barry's accelerating healing factor, he ages much slower than normal humans and most other meta-humans. In an erased future of the year 2024, Barry who had been the Flash for 10 years, has not visibly aged. This also enhances his vitality and health, letting him retain his youthful performance for far longer. According to Abra Kadabra, a villain from the 64th century, he is still alive and an active hero that deep into the future.
	+ **Astral projection:** Originally, with the help of a tachyon prototype, Barry was able to project his mind into the Speed Force and communicate with it. Since being taught by Wally, and with increasing both his powers and understanding of the Speed Force, Barry has learned to do this of his own accord. This enables him to contact the other Forces whenever needed.
	+ **Electrokinesis:** Barry can produce yellow electricity, a physical manifestation of Speed Force energy, from his body. It is commonly seen when running to boost his already immense speed to far higher levels. This energy can be focused into his strikes, generating enough force in his strikes to greatly harm super durable foes without any harm to himself. Alternatively, its intensity can interfere with surrounding electronics and overwhelm electric-absorption. He can focus it into specific body parts and produce strong static shocks to electrify a surface or stun targets on contact. Barry was later taught to harness it into his arms to repeatedly hurl lightning bolts to stun or repel enemies. Barry can also absorb electricity from other sources, simultaneously giving him an extra boost when running or throwing lightning. His highest levels are about 5 billion joules (equal the power of five lightning bolts). Being taught by Wally, Barry can generate several constructs to be used in battle; such as swords and shields. These constructs can also levitate to act as platforms. While originally required extensive running to build up his lightning, by 2021, Barry became able to generate his lightning without moving. By this point, he can use it to unleash heavy amounts of destructive electro-blasts in the surroundings, block energy blasts, and even destroy a speedster's powers. His lightning also has electromagnetic capacities, able to act as barriers able to repel entire cars launched at him.
		- **Speed Force aura:** As a user of the Speed Force, Barry can build up a protective aura. This allows him to withstand large gravimetric force and protects the environment from the harm caused by high-speed travel. Barry even built up his aura to be a billion times more powerful than the force of a black hole. This aura also seems to affect kinetic energy and inertia as Barry was able to throw off the Turtle's ability to steal kinetic energy and increase inertia on his victims. This also lets him grab other individuals at high speed without their momentum and kinetic energy ripping them apart and survive impact with objects moving so fast with only minor injuries.
		- **Speed Force sharing:** Barry can expand his Speed Force aura to protect other individuals he carries while moving at superhuman speed. Taught by Jay Garrick, Barry can siphon the speed energy from another speedster to bolster his own speed. After escaping from the Speed Force, gaining a greater an understanding of his power, he can use it in more passive means. By touching others, he can share his energy, letting them move, think, and heal as fast as himself, as this let Jesse recover immediately from a coma. By channeling enough energy, he can share his speed with others, letting them independently move as fast as speedsters without exhausting or affecting their own powers, until they burn through the borrowed energy. Barry is currently the only speedster known able to do this because after spending 6 months in the speed force he was able to absorb enough of its energies to share that energy with others.
		- **Speed stealing/Speed Force siphoning:** He picked up the ability to temporarily steal speed from other speedsters to empower himself and make himself faster for a time.
		- **Energy absorption:** Barry is capable of absorbing Speed Force energy that he injects himself with, for more power.
	+ **Superhuman durability:** Barry possesses superhuman resilience, most commonly seen from being unaffected by momentum build-up. He can take impacts relatively unfazed that would easily kill normal humans. While not invulnerable nor immune to pain, he withstood powerful lightning bolts, concussive shock waves, sonic blasts and inhumanly strong strikes, only being momentarily stunned. After regaining his powers, his resilience has been greatly augmented, quickly rebounding from zombie-Girder's blows, who previously seriously injured him in a single blow. Barry can also remain almost unharmed when falling from certain heights that would easily killed normal humans.
	+ **Superhuman mental process:** Barry's powers also augment his electro-chemical systems, nerve synapses, and brainwaves, and thought process. Granting him an eiditic memory and perfect recall, he takes in and retain information just as fast and efficiently. Even while using his raw speed, he can clearly think, react to events, and perform actions long before normal humans can perceive them. This lets him learn in a small fraction of the normal time, able to change his entire strategy in an instant and familiarize himself with advanced new knowledge within seconds. Flash's heightened mental capacity also lets him change his entire strategy in an instant; able to catch people completely off-guard after familiarizing themselves off his previous patterns. After six months in the Speed Force, Barry's brain activity became over five times faster than it had been previously.
		- **Superhuman perceptions:** Barry's senses are also enhanced. This allows Barry to perceive the world as if it is nearly frozen. He can see and hear normally, even while moving at speeds faster than sound, where this would normally be impossible. Barry became able to easily perceive the attacks of other powerful speedsters. This heightened alertness enables him to instantly read and adapt to the situation. His perception of time, however, seems to vary by his emotional state, as in one instance, when he was waiting to check out from work, he described it as feeling as if it were hours away, while in real time it was merely minutes. Since uniting the four Forces of Nature, Barry's perception can follow the movements of other speedsters as if in slow motion.
		- **Superhuman reflexes:** Barry's reaction time is augmented to superhuman levels, allowing him to react to danger and events far faster than normal humans. When shot in the neck on his blindside, Barry caught the bullet and minimized the damage before it could fully penetrate his skin. He also became able to easily react to the attacks of other speedsters.
	+ **Speed Force awareness:** Due to Barry's connection to the Speed Force, he can sense the presence of other speedster's with such energy in their system.
	+ **Superhuman speed:** Barry can move at such vast speeds. According to Eobard Thawne, Barry's speed is potentially unlimited; he can run across vertical structures and ceilings, over stretching seas, effortlessly catch speeding projectiles, complete his several daily activities in seconds and even casual walking can go unnoticed by normal individuals. While reaching Mach 3.3 on his own and later Mach 13.2 from tachyons, since increasing his Speed Force connection and ability to store-up its energy, Barry has grown tremendously faster. After six months in the Speed Force, his speed reached levels far exceeding all other known super-fast beings, noted by Gideon to be at 2325 miles per second (Mach 10908.82) or 1/80 of the speed of light. After Oliver Queen as the Spectre unlocked Barry's full potential, greatly augmenting his superhuman speed, he became much faster then before. When his powers were restored by reviving the Speed Force, Barry became even faster than Eva McCholloch, whose fractal photons manipulations let her move at a superluminal speed. Barry's speed is further augmented after bringing harmony between the four Forces of Nature.
		- **Aerokinesis:** Barry can use his speed to generate air flows on various levels and for several effects. He can create vortexes to suffocate people or extinguish fires by forming it around them. He can create large and strong tornadoes, able to repel massive targets. Alternatively, he can use this skill to propel himself through the air as a pseudo-form of flying. Later, Iris taught Barry, from her own experience as a speedster, to use this build-up to gather and direct enough water into a tidal wave capable to disperse a giant fire cyclone of over 6000 degrees Fahrenheit.
		- **Interdimensional travel:** Barry can move fast enough to break open portals between dimensions, allowing him to travel to different universes. If desired, Barry can also bring others with him as he did with Harry and Cisco to Earth-2. While originally he could not consciously control this, as his first solo use was done by accident and required assistance to return home, after greatly increasing his Speed Force connection, he can break open portals of his own accord and consciously chose his destination, even into the Speed Force itself.
		- **Speed mirages:** Taught by Harry Wells, Barry can generate illusions of himself to make it appear as if he in many places at once, when in reality he is simply bouncing back and forth too fast for the human mind to perceive the difference. He can create dozens of after-images. This allows him to disorientate enemies and then catch them off guard from appearing to be in more than one place at a time. Barry can also create a mirror speed projection, which he learned from fighting Thawne in 2049.
		- **Superhuman agility:** Barry has demonstrated flawless coordination, equilibrium and dexterity. He can change direction with immediate sharp turns without sliding or losing balance and instantly stop running on the spot. He can jump and run along falling debris and launch himself tremendous distances without build-up. His efficiency of movement can even disassemble an entire speeding car in seconds.
		- **Superhuman momentum:** Barry can generate great amounts of physical force through kinetic energy, simulating superhuman strength, even in a stationary position. Even little exertions from this build-up can generate tremendous force, able to knock a person out. He can propel himself to jump tremendous heights and distances. He can also create substantial frictional force with any object he touches, and exert enough force to hurl people into the air. This seemingly negates the weight of his target, able to move about as if targets are frozen, even in mid-air. This also lets him propel and manipulate the targets' flight path, including launched bullet with no loss of force and hurl them through a powerful barrier, followed by a person. He can completely remove the physical force from massive tidal waves, stabilize a giant singularity, or dispel F3 tornadoes by running around them. He can also snap his fingers to ignite flammable gas with the friction. After escaping the Speed Force, Barry can generate enough force to break down the natural durability of a target, as he effortlessly shattered his way out of his meta-human cell. With enough momentum, he can generate a powerful sonic boom through his punch able to destroy a crashing satellite.
			* **Bodily vibration:** Barry can vibrate his body for various effects. This can mask his form from being clearly perceived or distort his vocal cords to disguise his voice. His vibrations can forcibly expel any toxins in him. He can also generate enough heat to recover and stay thermally insulated from extreme cold. Offensively, he can vibrate his limbs to augment his strikes or seamlessly grind through highly solid targets, which he can use to harm or kill a person.
			* **Intangibility:** By vibrating his molecules at the frequency of air, Barry can physically pass through solid matter, even highly complex matter like carbine while in a universe of a different vibrational nature. He can do this with multiple targets, saving an entire moving train with hundreds of passengers, as well as an entire plane with hundreds of passengers with the help of Kid Flash and XS. He can also harmlessly pass through living individuals as he did to escape Atom Smasher's grasp. Barry can also vibrate just parts of his and other bodies, as he phased his hand and Ralph Dibny's arm in order to eject a needle into the latter's elastic skin and give him blood. He can extend this ability to others. During his final fight against Savitar, Barry's efficiency could simultaneously shift the time remnant out of his armor and encase himself in it. He can also pass through one target while simultaneously making harmless contact with another. Alternatively, he can passively phase through the target to incapacitate them.
			* **Invisibility:** Barry can vibrate his body so fast that that he can no longer be perceived by the human eye. When Clifford DeVoe trapped Barry in a force field prison that prevented the latter from phasing through it, Barry did this in order to "trick" Clifford DeVoe into releasing him.
			* **Seismokinesis:** By vibrating at varying frequencies and with different levels of force, Barry can create small tremors to induce extreme amounts of jolt on any target he touches, even disrupt the inter-molecular bonds and cause it to shatter. This can lead to many effects such as molecular combustion upon physical contact with the target. His vibrations can even shatter targets into fragments, as he did to Savitar's armor once inside it. If Barry wanted to, his vibrations could even destroy the world.
			* **Limited Temporal immunity:** Barry was able to reactivate his powers when the Negative Still Force froze him in time, indicating Barry’s powers have grown so strong that he is now partially immune to time related powers.
			* **Time travel:** Barry's speed can breach the temporal barriers, letting him enter different points in time. While originally only accessed by accident when under extreme stress, Barry learned to use it at will and arrive at a destination with pinpoint accuracy. Alternatively, he can enter timelines independent from himself and unaffected by his travels. Regardless of the changes he makes, Barry's powers allow him to retain all memories of the previous timeline in addition to the new timeline and differentiate between them.
			* **Temporal awareness:** Even if Barry is not responsible for any time alterations, he can still remain somewhat unaffected by it; he remembers that John Diggle and Lyla Michaels had a daughter instead of a son in the original timeline. Barry is able to subconsciously detect when other speedsters enter the Speed Force to time travel. After learning that Nora West-Allen had been working with his arch-enemy, he warned his daughter that if she attempted to enter the dimension and travel back to the present, he would feel it. Eobard Thawne later confirmed this to be the case, as it is one of the reasons for him to create the Negative Speed Force to avoid Barry's detection.
			* **Temporal dilution:** By generating enough energy, Barry can move so fast that time essentially slows down relative to him in a large area, to a complete standstill. However, he must continuously concentrate on this action as losing such focus will gradually speed back up again before ultimately returning to its original flow. He can pull others into this state, however, non-speedsters will quickly tire from it as their bodies aren't accustomed to moving at such great speeds. Other speedsters can also remain unaffected by this even provided they retain enough stamina to expand their Speed Force energy. By running around the Earth in the opposite direction with another super fast being at Mach 7, he can generate enough centrifugal force to slow the Earth's rotation and its flow of time.
			* **Temporal regression:** With Barry's ability to shift through time, he can also reverse the flow effects while running at a certain speed, while he remains completely unaffected. Ultimately, he can even grant himself a time do-over, wherein he enters the past and "merges" with his temporal counterpart to be fully immerse in the timeline. This ability is enhanced when he has a Still Force connection, as he was able to not only reverse the progression of Thawne's giant Negative Speed Force lightning tsunami, but undo it entirely so that Thawne would be obliterated by the absorption of his own energy.
			* **Time remnant construct/temporal duplication:** Barry is able to "create" a time remnant by traveling back to moments before his current-self time travels, hailing from a future that no longer exists. This allows Barry to be two places at once, enabling him to interact with the world for two separate actions simultaneously. If desired, Barry can create dozens of time remnants at once.
	+ **Superhuman stamina:** Barry can handle the stresses of extreme racing without noticeable distress, letting him function much longer than normal humans unhindered, showing no change in breathing or pulse after hours of constant exertion. This is due to his augmented physiology, building far less lactic acid or fatigue toxins. Even after running from coast to coast of the country to pick up a pizza, Barry remained unfazed from the prolonged running. However, while his stamina is greater than most speedsters, Barry's reserves are not inexhaustible. Extreme and extended uses of his more advanced powers will eventually drain him.
	+ **Superhuman strength:** Due to the tremendous amounts of Speed Force energy in his body, Barry's physical strength has been heightened beyond that of normal humans, able to carry multiple individuals at once while speeding away with them. When charging his momentum, he could smash through machinery with his bare hands or send opponents flying through the air. He can even stop a speeding car unaided.

#### Former powers

* **Nephilim Physiology:** As one of the oldest and most powerful Nephilims, Barry is extremely powerful and has their powers, as well as their weaknesses. He is noted by God himself to be his heir to the throne and go go toe-to-toe with his father's twin brother in the police precinct. Barry is capable of performing certain supernatural magical abilities, as well as being able to use Celestial items or weapons, such as his Blade of Death, which Humans are unable to handle safely.
	+ **Superhuman Strength**
	+ **Superhuman Speed**
	+ **Superhuman Endurance**
	+ **Superhuman Reflexes**
	+ **Superhuman Dexterity**
	+ **Longevity:** Barry's lifespan is eternal, meaning he will stop aging, likely in his 20s, and won't die of old age, but he can still suffer injuries and be killed by ordinary weapons. While looking like he's in her twenties, she’s actually far older than that.
	+ **Immortality**
	+ **Invulnerability**
	+ **Accelerated Metabolism**
	+ **Regenerative Healing Factor:** As witnessed numerous times, Barry heals much faster than humans do. He can heal any injuries within minutes to hours. On one occasion, he stated, "*at least I'm healing fast*".
	+ **Temptation Inducement**
	+ **Cosmic Awareness:** During the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Barry displayed some knowledge of the Multiverse and its existence due to the fact he told John Constantine that he wasn't happy seeing him again on "his" Earth.
	+ **Shape-shifting:** Much like his father, Lucifer, Barry can change himself into his "Devil form".
	+ **Flight**
		- **Dimensional Travel**
* **Healing**
* **Resurrection**
* **Spirit Communication:** As an Angel, Barry can communicate with spirits of the deceased, so long as the death is fresh and they have yet to move on. He can also communicate with Ghosts.
* **Celestial Communication:** Barry can communicate with his Angelic siblings by praying to them, as he frequently uses this ability to contact Amenadiel
* **Telekinesis**

* **Artificial Speed Force connection:** During the death of the Speed Force, which cost Barry his powers, Team Flash sought to create an artificial Speed Force. With help from Nora West-Allen's journal and the Wells' self-sacrifice, they succeeded in their goal. However, while restoring all of Barry's previous powers, in hoping to create a Speed Force void of negative emotions like the Negative Speed Force, this was done using an inert substance of an argon-xenon hybrid to produce no emotional fallout. It caused a side-effect of gradually sapping away Barry's emotions. This ultimately made him focus only on success with no concern for others' wellbeing. Upon realizing that his actions endangered Iris' life, the remainder of Barry's emotions made him decide to destroy the artificial Speed Force machine.
	+ **Superhuman intelligence:** Powered by the artificial Speed Force, Barry's mental parameters were greatly augmented even further. His neurons are firing at super speed and synaptic connections are at uncharted levels, pushing his cognitive functions to over a 1000-fold and near-instantaneous usage. As noted by Cisco, Barry's intelligence outpaces even the most advanced computers and is in a classifications well-beyond "genius". This enables Barry to from a single glance analyze all perceivable variables and scenarios and from this instinctively determine the most effective choice to any situation presented to him. Like Clifford DeVoe, Barry's augmented mentality have pushed his ability to process, react, memorize, deduce, analyze, and simply comprehend to surreal and super levels. With this, he could quickly create cures for various extreme conditions. This ultimately allows him to calculate and deduce the answer to almost any question and anticipate any potential outcome as if being clairvoyant.

* **Corrupted Speed Force connection/Blood Brother physiology:** When Barry accepted Ramsey's "cure" he became infected by the blood that was already invading his blood system turning him into a Blood Brother, altering his normal Meta-human physiology thus alter his powers. Like with the other Blood Brothers, Barry's eyes turned pitch black after being infected by Ramsey Rosso.
	+ **Mental link to Ramsey Rosso:** When Barry bonded with Ramsey after giving in into his infection, Barry shared a telepathic link to Ramsey that allowed Bloodwork to make Dark Flash do his bidding. However, the mental link worked both ways as Barry was able to speak to Iris and Cisco through Ramsey giving them secret messages just as Ramsey was able to speak to Iris through Barry and threaten her before Barry could take control and tell Iris to "trust" him. Barry was also able to use this to make Ramsey see his mother one last time so he would let his guard down before Barry could incarcerate.
	+ **Superhuman strength:** Like the other Blood Brothers, Dark Flash gained a tremendous boost of strength while infected and controlled by Bloodwork.

* **Still Force connection:** Thanks to the Still Force having been created in connection to the Speed Force, Barry gained a subconscious connection to it, allowing him to absorb some of its energy. From this, after Deon Owens gave him some of its energy, Barry could access the same powers as him. It also causes him to emit green electricity along with his natural yellow. He can share this energy with others. However, the connection is weak, only able to access it through deep mediation. Also, the energy he had was small, quickly depleting it to escape the Still Force.
	+ **Chrono vision:** The Still Force enabled Barry to see events past, present and future. He got to see the future of his children and grandchildren.
	+ **Selective displacement:** After defeating Thawne, Barry was able to bring back Bart, Nora, and Meena from where Thawne had sent them just by snapping his fingers.
* **Sage Force connection:** After the positive forces returned, Bashir gave Barry access to the Sage Force to help defeat Thawne. After Thawne was defeated, Barry lost his ability to access the Sage Force.
	+ **Teleportation:** Using the Sage Force, Barry was able to teleport to catch up to Thawne.

### Abilities

* **Genius-level intellect/Master tactician/Leader:** A keen-minded individual from a young age, Barry displayed a natural understanding and quick capacity to learn, making it hard for his foster-father, Joe West, to help Barry with his homework by the time the latter was 12. Barry is also very well-read, greatly impressing the award-winning Professor Martin Stein. After Eobard Thawne was defeated, Barry was able to keep Team Flash together and lead them well, to the point that Eobard (as Harrison Wells) made him the new owner of S.T.A.R. Labs. Barry is able to remember everything he experiences with perfect recall; when he saw the Reverse-Flash for the first time in 14 years, Barry immediately recognized him as his mother' Nora Allen's killer, despite being only 11 years old at the time. Barry is also a quick study, as after reading through the various Earth-2 advances in physics, he instantly began making effective use of this knowledge. Barry can communicate with the 5x5 tap code, which he did with Jay Garrick when the latter wore a mask preventing him from talking. Even as God he has significant insight and foresight, with a demonstrated ability to foresee the long-term consequences of certain actions, discern the intentions of those around Him, and act accordingly.
	+ **Bilingualism:** In addition to English, after 6 months in the Speed Force, Barry subconsciously learned a strange language he would scribble in at all opportunities when he came out. However, he didn't understand this script after returning to his normal self.
	+ **Computer specialist/Expert computer hacker:** Barry is adept with computers, as he was the only one who could write an algorithm that monitored the electrical manipulations to National City's network which Livewire's powers caused.
	+ **Cooking:** Barry is skilled in cooking, having made fancy meals for himself and Iris.
	+ **Expert investigator/Forensics:** As a CSI of the Central City Police Department, Barry is highly skilled in forensics. From a single glance of the crime scene, he can quickly determine much of the events that transpired. Barry can quickly analyze any given data and quickly form accurate theories on the given situation, as seen with the Arrow; Barry correctly determined the Arrow's training background from his green attire and that he has at least one accomplice. Barry was also the first to deduce the true identity of Savitar, managing to put clues together from various things the evil speedster said and did, ultimately concluding that he was in fact a rogue time remnant of himself. Additionally, having learned from Oliver, Barry is able to case environments and predict every inch of them.
	+ **Expert of deception/Manipulator:** Despite Barry's somewhat awkward demeanor, he can be deceiving if need be. When he traveled back in time to find a way to get faster, Barry kept acting like his past self around everyone. Even when he was busted by Eobard, Barry made the latter believe he was able to achieve his goal mission of returning to his own time, when in truth, he had actually been erased from existence. Barry also successfully distracted Remington Meister and Ultraviolet from launching a missile on Central City by pretending to be severely drunk.
	+ **Master engineer:** Barry has very advanced skill in technology, as he was able reconstruct Captain Boomerang's projectiles from its broken pieces and build from memory a variation of the earpieces used against Hartley Rathaway to help himself and Kara Danvers confront the sonic-powered Silver Banshee. Barry was also able to build a carbine prison from which Reverse-Flash couldn't escape. In one possible future, Barry designed Gideon, a very sophisticated artificial intelligence unit with a system so complicated that even Cisco Ramon had no idea of how it works. Barry is very skilled with crafting and building, having spent weeks personally repairing Central City after the damage caused from the singularity by Eobard. He was also able to completely dismantle a speeding car using a box of mechanic tools.
	+ **Master physicist/Chemist/Scientist:** Barry graduated with a double major in physics and chemistry, making him a very knowledgeable scientist. Barry deduced that Oliver Queen was dosed with a blood coagulant and managed to use a small amount of rat poison to thin his blood again. He also created a compressible micro-fabric green domino mask for Oliver to conceal his identity more effectively without affecting his sight and aim. Barry's knowledge on physics possibly ranks among the best on Earth-1 and 2, as he was able to apply a newfound science and figure out how to close the various breaches between worlds.
	+ **Meditation:** Taught to him by Wally, Barry knows how to center himself to better access the energies that house inside his body and make contact with the other **Forces.** This was helpful when Barry used the Positive Forces in tandem to reset the universe.
	+ **Speed Force knowledge:** After receiving the speed equation from Eobard, Barry gained great intelligence about the Speed Force and its usage. After regaining his connection to the Speed Force, Barry gained an even greater understanding of its nature, allowing him to heal Jesse Wells. Furthermore, he knows how to nullify another speedster's powers, as Barry did to Eobard for three months, which he may have learned from Zoom's prison. Further tutelage by Jay Garrick of Earth-3 also gave Barry greater knowledge of the lore, history, and legends of the Speed Force. He gained further in-depth understanding of it from Nora's journal filled with Eobard's own expertise.

"*Fighting is physics. It's not about strength. It's not about size. It's about energy and power. Channel your speed the right way and you can totally take this bad boy down.*"
—Cisco Ramon[src]
* **Master hand-to-hand combatant/Martial artist:** In Barry's youth, he was trained how to box with Joe and Iris West. Although he remembers his time training with them, it never stuck since Barry wasn't much of a fighter growing up. This changed when Barry turned 25 and briefly trained with Eddie Thawne, relearning how to box due to the circumstances with Tony Woodward but this time, the training stuck, with boxing becoming his go-to style of combat as the Flash. While never trained extensively in hand-to-hand combat, Barry's powers combined with his intelligence and combat skills made him a formidable opponent. At the same time, Barry continued to gradually improve his abilities, as seen by how he went from being completely outmatched by Eobard to eventually able to decisively beat Eobard during the Earth-X invasion when their speed became equally matched. Later, Barry's combat skills improved to such a level that even without his powers, he was able to swiftly take out two A.R.G.U.S. security guards.
	+ **Expert swordsman:** Against Godspeed, Barry proved capable with a sword. While requiring the aid of Eobard to fend off Godspeed, Barry was able to shatter Godspeed's own sword and force him on the defensive. During everyone's grieving process, Barry traveled to Kyoto to learn the disciplines of being a Samurai, as a way to honor Frost's legacy.
* **Expert marksman:** Barry is proven to be adept with guns, though he does not use them if they could kill someone. Barry and Ralph Dibny once used stun guns stolen from Goldface to fight and knock out all of the latter's forces, as well as briefly stun Goldface himself.
* **Singing:** While quite modest about this skill and not always a fan of performing, Barry is an excellent singer. His karaoke performance at a bar attracted the attention of Linda Park. Barry was also able to pass as a lounge singer in Music Meister's reality.
* **Dancing:** Barry is a talented dancer, especially in ballroom and tap, as seen in Music Meister's movie musical reality. He has also shown during Carrie Bates' "whammie" to be a skilled breakdancer.
* **Artistic:** Barry is a proficient sketch artist, able to accurately draw a picture of Vandal Savage's face.

"*I'll never let the pain, the darkness, determine who I am. I will never be you.*"
—Flash to Savitar[src]
* **Indomitable will/High pain tolerance:** Barry is known for his force of will, with H.R. Wells declaring that his real superpower is hope, having an endless reservoir of it. Even when being burdened of being aged rapidly to over a 100 years old, Barry has shown he can push himself beyond his limits when running. This was displayed when Barry resisted killing Savitar, as he dismissed his urges to do so. Mar Novu described Barry's determination as "boundless" and called it one of his greatest qualities. Furthermore, Barry has a history of changing individuals' hearts and minds, which includes convincing his enemies to do the right thing by knowing how to reach them. As noted by Ramsey Rosso, Barry marches towards death without fear, as he derives his strength from his loved ones. During the Anti-Monitor Crisis, Barry was revealed to be the Paragon of Love due to his positive emotion.

#### Alternate reality abilities

*After having his entire past and identity swapped with Oliver Queen, Barry obtained all of Oliver's skills as a vigilante*.

* **Peak of human physical condition:** Barry is in excellent shape, sporting a well-muscled build. He is resilient enough endure superspeed punches from Oliver as The Flash. His body is also well-conditioned to effectively dislocate joints and reattach them to slip through confines.
	+ **Acrobatics/Free-running:** Barry is capable of scaling buildings and running from rooftop to rooftop with ease. He is maneuverable and graceful, able to pursue and outrun a target in various types of terrains with no wasted motion or loss of time. Barry's skills allow him to fluidly dodge and attack from different directions and perform intricate flips without losing balance.

"*Don't miss.*"
"*I won't.*"
—Cisco Ramon and Barry Allen[src]
* **Master archer:** Barry's archery skills can precisely hit targets from great distances. He can shoot objects off of people without harming them and retain his accuracy even while he was in rapid movement. He can also anticipate an enemy projectile to block it with an arrow and fire multiple arrows at once. Barry was able to shoot the A.M.A.Z.O. in its left eye with an arrow from the top of a building from a distance.
* **Master hand-to-hand combatant/Martial artist:** Barry is a formidable hand-to-hand combatant and martial artist. He can effectively change his battle tactics and attack patterns to suit the situation at a fast rate, allowing him to take on and defeat multiple combatants of advanced fighting prowess.

### Weaknesses

* **Other Gods**: Gods are vulnerable and can be killed by each other.
* **Azrael's blade**: Azrael's blade is able to wipe a god from existence. However, it is unclear if a god must be weakened for the blade to work. But No one will get killed with it as it's in the possession of Barry Allen/God
* **Self-Actualization:** God has admitted that He has been losing control of his power for some time, resulting in several accidents during his time on Earth. However, it later turned out that He was doing this to Himself due to Michael's manipulations, as He is subject to self-judgment, just like mortals and angels are. Even Barry is able to self-actualize at anytime.
* **Antimatter:** Just a slight contact with an antimatter wall in the Speed Force when Barry tried to time travel to the day after Crisis could leave him with a lasting scar. Jay Garrick noted that if not for Barry's accelerated healing, a scratch from antimatter would wipe him out of existence.
* **Cold temperatures:** Because speed is produced by a build-up of heat in the target's atoms, Barry is vulnerable to extreme cold temperatures. Under these conditions, Barry's speed will be greatly reduced. Also, direct exposure to such cold will temporarily stunt his healing capacities. However, since learning to regulate his body temperature with a buildup of energy, he has a much higher resilience to cold.
* **Gamma energy:** Gamma energy can have a negative effect on Barry if absorbed into his body. Reacting to his Speed Force energy, each time Barry uses his powers with the gamma energy interfering, it will cause Barry to biologically age by several years.
* **High density:** Barry has a much greater difficulty phasing through targets with greater natural resistance like carbine and force fields.
* **Hyper-metabolism:** While moving at superhuman 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. Continued usage of his speed while deprived renders him disoriented and weak before ultimately passing out from low blood glucose. Also, he is unaffected by sedatives as he burns through them too quickly to have any affect. He also cannot experience a buzz as even 500 proof alcohol only intoxicated him for a few seconds. After naturally increasing his connection to the Speed Force, his performance noticeably increased, requiring much less nourishment in-between his meta exploits.
* **Power-dampening tech:** Initially, Barry's powers can be weakened, even neutralized, by specially designed tech that affects his resonance field. Later, after spending six months inside the Speed Force, Barry's massive build-up of Speed Force energy made his powers highly resilient to such tech, as he instantly smashed his way free of a cell in the pipeline. However, certain meta-powers and more advanced tech can still weaken him, as an upgraded B.O.O.T. slowed him down considerably; but not to the point of suppressing his powers. It is very likely that if he had spent more time in the Speed Force, Barry would become completely immune to such tech, even ones that are very advanced. Also, being a Speedster, special kind of anti-speedster weapons can render a speedster stunned and cut off from the Speed Force. However, the effects are only temporary.
* **Time alterations:** While Barry's speed can break through the temporal barrier, it is not without drawbacks. In addition to potentially causing unforeseeable, damaging changes to the timeline; such reckless actions can alert the Time Wraiths. These temporal guardians become instinctively drawn to the careless speedster, driven to capture him and draw the person into the Speed Force. Also, using his powers in a timeline where he didn't actually acquire them will gradually deplete them and make him lose his memories of the timeline where he gained his powers.

#### Former weaknesses

* **Bloodwork's infection:** Barry's speed healing helps him fight Ramsey’s infection, but it only slows the inevitable. Even with the help of the speed force's consciousness and Velocity X, Ramsey was still able to possess Barry. It scared even the Speed Force, which is hard to do because the Speed Force has access to every universe, and every possible timeline and their dangers. Though it is likely due to Barry allowing Ramsey to posses him to defeat him by using the connection against him.
* **Cicada's dagger:** Cicada's dagger has the power to disable and negate the superhuman powers of meta-humans who gained powers; due to exposure to dark matter, including Barry. However, now that the dagger's been destroyed, it's no longer a problem for Barry.
* **Electricity absorption:** Barry's unique biology causes his body to produce massive amounts of electricity, which charges his molecules to allow for his accelerated movements. Should Barry be drained of this electrical energy, he will lose his powers. However, as this power is genetically coded into his DNA, he can potentially regain his speed by using more electricity to jump-start it. Once his powers have been "jump-started", his powers will become stronger than they'd previously been and such; attempts to drain the electricity that his body produces are more likely overload the source than disable his speed. Barry confirmed he no longer has this weakness when Black Lightning tried get Barry out of the Speed ​​Force, but it was impossible.
* **External brainwaves:** Having brainwaves of someone else in Barry's body endangers him greatly and can only be contained by the Speed Force. When Harrison Nash Wells and Allegra Garcia accidentally send the brainwaves of doppelgangers of Harrison Wells to Barry's body, Gideon revealed that he could only contain it; due to the remaining Speed Force in his body and that once it runs out, he would instantly die.
* **Kinetic energy absorption:** Because Barry's powers are derived from movement, the removal of the kinetic energy he builds up will leave him in a state of temporary paralysis. However, if he can build back up enough kinetic energy within himself, the effect can be negated instantly.
* **Old age:** Even with his decelerated aging maintaining his youth and his performance longer, upon reaching biologically old age, causes a serious diminish to his general performance and overall health. He likewise struggles with speedster feats like phasing or generating lightning.

## Equipment

### New multiverse

* **Flash suit:** Barry wears a protective suit as his alter-ego, the Flash; to hide his identity from his enemies, when he goes out fighting crime; it was designed by Cisco Ramon. The suit is comprised of a reinforced tri-polymer and is heat and abrasive resistant, organically designed to replace firefighter turnouts. It was re-purposed to help protect Barry from the vigor's of his speed and survive certain environments. It was also upgraded with several features, such as sensors to track Barry's vitals, location, power output, and speed level, and to stay in contact with S.T.A.R. Labs.
* **Flash ring:** Barry utilizes a ring to store and summon his Flash suit; it was given to him by his future daughter, Nora West-Allen.
* **Gideon:** Barry made a portable version of Gideon out of leftover parts from the damaged plinth in the Time Vault. Barry was able to salvage enough parts to help rebuild Gideon and connect to her through an ear piece so that she could help him travel into the future to witness to coming crisis. She reveals that he was hit by antimatter while in the Speed Force and that Jay Garrick of Earth-3 could help Barry, as he knew more about antimatter.
* **Flash boots:** Barry utilizes special golden boots made by Chester P. Runk to redirect several different types of energy.

#### Former equipment

* **Tachyon prototype:** Barry used this device to project his mind into the Speed Force and communicate with it.
* **Flash suit:** Before being replaced by the pre-crisis version of himself, Earth-Prime Barry wore this suit as a vigilante suit. It's the exact same suit as the first and second suit of the original multiverse.
* **Speed gauge:** Following the death of the Speed Force, Cisco invented this wristwatch-like device to monitor Barry's speed output.
