"*I can run at the speed of sound, but I always seem to be late.*"
―Barry Allen[src]
**Bartholomew Henry "Barry" Allen** is a forensic scientist who works for the police department in Central City, who, after being struck by a lightning bolt on a fateful night, gained superspeed and became the hero known as the **Flash**. During the weeks of mastering his powers, he faced an enemy similar to him, who was also the true murderer of his mother.

Using his superpowers, he acts as a guardian to Central City, eventually meeting other superpowered beings and becoming a member of the Justice League.

## History

### Early life

Barry Allen was born to Henry and Nora Allen on October 14, 1996, in Virginia.

#### Death of Nora Allen

"*I swear to god, I didn't do this.
Dad! Where are they taking you?
What's gonna happen to my son?*"
―Barry Allen and Henry Allen, as the latter is arrested[src]
One night, Barry was awoken by a commotion going on downstairs. He goes to check only to see his mother surrounded by a ball of red lightning. Suddenly, he finds himself two blocks away from his house. He arrives back to his house just in time to see his father being taken away by police. He goes inside the house, and much to his horror, sees his mother's dead body on the ground.

The next day, his father is charged for the murder and is taken to Iron Heights Penitentiary. While Barry always claimed that his father was innocent, nobody believed him. Determined to prove his father's innocence, he begins studying forensic science in hopes of one day being able to clear his father's name.

### Project: Justice

Barry is one of several candidates to be in the Justice League.

## Personality

Despite his tragic childhood, Barry is quite laid-back, witty, bubbly, and somewhat childish and humorous, in stark contrast to the very calm, mature, dark, and serious Batman, as well as most of the Justice League. He is also remarkably intelligent and determined, becoming a highly skilled forensic scientist to prove the innocence of his imprisoned father Henry Allen in the death of his mother Nora Allen.
