* The Flash

**Bartholomew Henry "Barry" Allen** (born March 14, 1989) is a scientist in the Criminal and Forensic Science Division of the Central City Police Department. He is the son of late Henry and Nora Allen, the foster son turned son-in-law of the late Joe West, the husband of Iris West-Allen and the brother-in-law of Wally West, the archenemy of Eobard Thawne, as well as the father of his future children, Nora West-Allen and Bart Allen.

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 and he dedicated 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 a 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**

##### Early days and setbacks

9 months later, October 2014, he woke up from his coma. He was in a room with Cisco Ramon and Caitlin Snow. Afterwards, he met "Harrison Wells" in person. After he walked out the building he could ran at the speed of sound or light. When he went back into the building and told them what had happened, he saw a suit. Cisco said he made it for fire fighters since the particle accelerator went off, they lost their reputation. Barry asked if he could use the suit. They took Barry out for some test runs. That's when they got a call about a huge storm. They tracked the location of a tornado and a human was standing the center of it. They identified him as Clyde Mardon, a small time thief and murderer in Central City. Barry managed to stop him, getting the nickname "The Flash."

Not long afterwards, the alarms went off at CCPD, and he saw the man in yellow. The person who really killed his mother. He ran back to star labs. He started suspecting "Harrison Wells." Dr. Wells told Barry to follow him. He was taken to a secret room. As he was distracted, he heard a voice say "I'm the Reverse-Flash" but more demonic. When he turned around, Harrison's eyes were pure red. Barry sped out of the room and told Cisco what happened. They started fighting. They managed to lock him up in the pipelin cell. But Thawne has artifical speedforce, so the cell doesn't affect him. Barry and Cisco managed to defeat him. They went to CCPD and got video footage on Barry's computer. Barry, Joe, and Cisco started watching it. Thawne confessed to killing Barry's mom. They were interrutped by the CCPD alarms. They went downstairs and saw a guy. Joe said that he supposedly died in a gas chamber the night the particle accelerator blew. Cisco nicknamed him Mist. They successfully defeated him. They met Jay Garrick who claimed to be the Flash of Earth-2. He was correct. He was an enemy of Zoom. It turned out his name was actually Hunter Zolomon. He was Zoom. Barry's dad was freed from jail.

###### Savitar

They met the real Jay Garrick at some point. They also met a young kid who came to star labs. He said he was experiencing strange blackouts so he came to S.T.A.R Labs for help. He said was name was Wally. However, he said that Barry was supposed to become a god. Barry discovered that was Iris' younger brother and he told Iris Barry was the Flash. Barry went to the future to get Thawnes help on figuring out what was going on. He said he knew but he couldn't tell him. Barry went to Joes house and met Future him. Barry went outside of S.T.A.R Labs and saw a strange guy wearing a white suit with a lightning symbol on his suit. He recignized the suit and remembered. In the Flash Museum in the future, he saw a statue of that guy. His name was Godspeed. While he saw battling them, he saw a red lightning streak thinking it was Thawne, but it was actually Wally. He started calling himself Kid Flash. Barry then met a Time Travelling Cicada from the future who wants to steal his speed. Barry kind of defeated him, but a young boy came into S.T.A.R Labs. Cicada mentioned something about stealing both of their speeds. Barry and Cisco time travelled to the future and saw him in the Flash Museum. He was in the "ENTER THE MULTIVERSE" section of the Museum. He was looking at the Flash of Earth-1. He said that Barry died before he was even born. They successfully locked him in the pipeline. He indeed had speed. He called himself impulse. Another Unknown Speedster came in and saved him. All four of them travelled to the future and fought. It was later revealed they were Barry's future kids. Barry asked who their mom was. Nora and Bart said "Iris West-Allen." Barry was shocked that his elementary school crush would be his future wife. Sadly in the current timeline Barry is living in, Iris is dating Eddie Thawne. A villain who can control peoples anger appeared on the news. He made Barry kind of evil. Barry went to CC Jitters and attempted to kill Eddie. Barry was being locked up in the pipeline cell. Future him kept coming back and telling him to become evil but it never worked. Barry realized, Oliver Queen was the one who had locked him up. He tried to kill him, but a guy from a different Earth and dimension. He said the 4th dimension came. He said his name was Cobalt Blue. They fought for awhile but thankfully Barry was back in cotrol of his own body. He ended up going to the future because he got a call from someone there. When he went there, a young boy named Max was there. He said he was a big fan of the Flash and that he had made a similar suit to his and had the same abilities as him. Barry was proud people were idolizing him. Barry went back to the present and met Savitar. Savitar took off his armor and it was revealed that Savitar was Barry from the future. He wanted to kill Iris because Barry "doesn't deserve anything he has." Savitar failed to kill Iris and Iris killed him. Later they brought Barry's dad to celebrate the defeat of Savitar. But they heard lightning noises. Zoom came into the building and took Henry. They ran throughout the city. They stopped at some place in the middle of the road. Zoom killed him right there infront of Barry.

##### Defeating Zoom

He ran after Zoom to try and kill him. Zoom got away. He returned to S.T.A.R. Labs. He was too angry that all of Team Flash decided to lock him up in a pipeline cell for a bit. Joe later freed Barry from his pipeline cell without their permission. Wally and Cisco came into the room. Cisco said that he was dissapointed in Barry and slapped him. Wally said he expected better from a hero. Barry started to doubt himself. He took the Flash suit off and pretened like he was never even the Flash.

### As the Flash

Barry was born in 1989 March 14 to Nora and Henry Allen. Later on in life he met Iris West in elementary school. In 2020, scientist Harrison Wells and Tess Morgan launched the particle accelerator, but something occurred and caused Barry amongst other people to become meta-humans. Barry became the Flash, the protector of Central City. Around this year, Barry and Iris got married and had a daughter named Dawn. Around 2024, Barry met and became archenemies with the Reverse-Flash. This very year, they both vanished in Crisis, but unknown to anyone else, they had travelled back to the night of March 18, 2000. Barry saved his younger self, before almost being erased from existence and becoming the predecessor of Savitar.

### Origins

Savitar was one of the many time remnants used to help Barry kill Savitar. They had failed miserably resulting in Iris still being dead. Savitar was shunned. The doubt he was feeling. He was suffering from the pain. He wanted his pain to end. He was driven insane, coming to a realization that "God feels no pain" and aspired to become one.

Travelling through time, he was augmenting his psp0eed to unimaginable levels. He was faster than his prime self. Maybe even faster than Thawne. While running so fast, he left a huge scar on his face from almost disintegrating. Barry started building a suit that would protect him while running, the suit looked a lot like Savitars. He used everything he knew and came to realize.... He was destined to be Savitar. They all said he couldn't save Iris and he wasn't Barry, and thats because he wasn't. He was Savitar, the god of speed. He travelled to every single planet in the Multiverse and then travelled to the beginning of time on that very planet and made the myth he was the god of speed and the first ever speedster. He was destined for revenge on his former younger-self. He couldn't bare the pain. He created an alternate-timeline where he had everything he could've wanted. Wally West was the Flash of this timeline. He had everything. But then he was trapped in the speed force as a punishment and needed to be freed. But he couldn't. He managed to free himself and ended up in 2016.

#### Trying to kill Iris

He desired it to be Barry's destiny to be Savitar. He even manipulated the speed force into giving Wally West speed. But he failed in the end, as someone by the name of H.R. Wells took Iris' place.

#### Ceasing to Exist

Iris later shot him in the head where he was erased from existence and trapped in the speed force once more with no return.

### As the Flash

Barry became the Flash because of the murder of his mother in 2000, and the S.T.A.R Labs particle accelerator explosion in 2013. He is a strong-willed hero, who does use his power for personal gain for most of the time. He is the protector of his city, Central City.
