Ralph Dibney

## Elongated Man

Unknown (mother)

##### Pre-Flashpoint

**Ralph Dibney** was one of the people who died because of the particle accelerator explosion. This was confirmed by Eobard Thawne when he was proving Farooq Gibran that he knew the names of those who died because of the explosion.

##### Post-Flashpoint

**Ralph Dibney**, also known as the **Elongated Man**, was a police detective for the CCPD. After Barry solved a case that Ralph couldn't solve right, Ralph got fired from the CCPD becoming a private detective. Now Ralph changed his ways and is also a member of Team Flash.

Before Barry changed the timeline, Ralph was presumed to be one of the people who died because of the particle accelerator explosion. But after Barry created the Flashpoint Timeline, Ralph was alive again.

When Ralph was riding a bus in Central City, Barry got blasted out of the Speed Force creating a dark matter wave that hit the bus and anyone in it. The dark matter gave everyone, including Ralph, powers. Making them all meta-humans.

When Barry and Joe interrogated Ralph to know if he was on the bus, he lied to them but during them walking away they saw Ralph's powers. They them took him to S.T.A.R. Labs to help him. Later he then decided to join Team Flash and Barry then taught him how to use his powers for good, not long after he helped Team Flash against Mina Chaytan.

When Barry was in prison Ralph becam the new main hero of Central City by taking down minor crooks or even villains like The Trickster and Prank. Later, Ralph was confronted by an old friend of his, Earl Cox, he reminded Ralph that he always fails and disappoints his friends and then leaves them. This made Ralph very sad and angry and while Ralph was ranting about Earl's appearance to the rest of Team Flash he suddenly changed his appearance to that of Earl. He then used these powers again to change into warden Gregory Wolfe to stop the meta-humans incarcerated in the meta-wing of Iron Heights Penitentiary being sold to Amunet Black.

His powers backfired since he didn't control them well enough and the deal went on until Barry and the rest of the bus metas escaped from prison. These powers were then used to change Ralph into DeVoe proving that Barry isn't guilty and letting him go from Iron Heights but when Team Flash found out that DeVoe is going after the bus metas, Ralph didn' take this news well.

Ralph became terrified of what could happen to him but he still stayed and helped Team Flash. He helped The Flash confront Izzy Bowin about the dangers she could be in but she refused to listen and ran away. Later Ralph was the one who convinced her to stay and train with Team Flash. Ralph seemed to be falling in love with Izzy and even aided her when DeVoe took over her body by telling her to look at him until it was over but her death still haunts him to this day.

During the time Null was the bus meta Team Flash was looking for Ralph began to do very comedic stuff to make people laugh. He put a whoopee cushion in Harry's chair, he unintentionally broke a really expensive vase, he constantly cracked jokes and he turned into Joe to interrogate Earl about Null. Barry was very mad at Ralph for all of this until Ralph explained to Barry that he did that because by doing or saying funny things, he and his mother got through the fear when his father left when Ralph was 10 years old.
