## **Powers & Abilities**

### Powers

* **Speed Force Conduit:** Following his accident in the laboratory, being dowsed in chemicals and struck by lightning, Barry became a release valve for the newly created cosmic force capable of pushing time and space forward. This force is referred to as the Speed Force and even if he is on a planet without it's existence, he can still tap into it.
	+ **Superhuman Speed:** Tapping into the speed force, Barry is capable of moving at speeds rivaling that of Superman and Supergirl. He's capable of moving at speeds, where it seems time has slowed to a crawl around him, giving him a great ability to run normally, while all others around him can only perceive a blur.
	+ **Superhuman Reflexes:** Barry's reflexes have been augmented to the point where he is capable of dodging bolts of lightning, as well as react with pain receptors working at a femtosecond.
	+ **Superhuman Stamina:** Barry's body is capable of handling the great stress of moving at the speed he does, therefore giving him the ability to go for days without tiring.
	+ **Superhuman Agility:** Barry's body is capable of easy manuverability and leaping at great heights while moving at superhuman speed. This is due to his agility, endurance and even coordination being augmented to superhuman levels.
	+ **Superhuman Strength:** Through his own speed, Barry is capable of increasing his mass behind his punches, particularly whenever he reaches towards lightspeed. He is even capable of using a hit called the "Near-Infinite Mass" Punch, which is rare for him to use, as it can deform space-time if he uses it for more than an instant. He was able to easily use it to send the Anti-Monitor into various different realities, which nearly beat him. Aside from this however, Barry can easily knock Superman into a wall if necessary.
	+ **Speed Force Aura:** Barry's body is surrounded in a kinetic energy absorbent field or a "friction cushion" as it were, enabling him and those he's carrying or holding protection while he uses his powers. It also allows him to withstand airborne particulate matter, G-Force, heavy impacts, etc.
		- **Superhuman Durability:** The Speed Force Aura Barry generates also allows him protection against a variety of physical injury. He was able to even take direct hits from a Daxamite while moving at superhuman speed. Even though this was the case, he was still badly injured afterwards.
	+ **Accelerated Healing:** Due to his Speed Force Aura manipulating the space-time around him, Barry is easily capable of healing wounds at a much faster rate than humans. This includes closing wounds instantly, taking minutes if any of his limbs are crushed and even the bone crushing pressure and agonizing pain of being beneath 2,000 feet of water, which was considerably damaging to his body.
	+ **Aerokinesis:** Through his superhuman speed, Barry is capable of manipulating air either by spinning his arms in a circular motion or running in a circular motion. This allows him to create extremely strong vortexes, which have been able to draft millions of gallons of water, lift 600 tons of barge and even cushioning a train about to fall off the tracks before making it stop.
