Bartholomew Allen

## The Flash

**Bartholomew H.** "**Barry**" **Allen**, also known as the "**Flash**", is both a fictional character and protagonist of the *Marvelous DC's* *G. H. Flash* series created by Mort Weisinger and Stan Lee. He is a famous speedster based in Central City.

Having been granted the ability to move at super speed after being exposed to lightning-charged chemicals, the forensic analyst took up the name and mantle of the popular superhero, after his childhood idol, the original Flash.

He is also a long-time member of the Justice Avengers.

Barry's access to the speed force allows him to vibrate through objects, creates explosions through friction, and, when he's at his top speed, manipulate time and bridge dimensions.

"*Every day since JA Day I've been reminded how I failed to be a hero. How hard it's gonna be to regain people's trust. Guess we're both on that same path.*"

—Flash, to Green Lanturn.

### Biography

Dr. Thomas Wayne was a gifted surgeon and heir to the Wayne fortune. Dedicated to philanthropy as much as medicine, he and his wife Martha were well-known and respected in Gotham. Their tragic murder at the hands of a desperate burglar, Joe Chill, in Gotham's Crime Alley shook the city to its core and led to years of urban blight. It also inspired their son Bruce to eventually become the Batman.
