## Biography

### Rise of The Flash

#### Arrival of the Vixen

He arrives just in time when Diabullet strangles Mari McCabe during their fight, knocking him away. During the chase both he and Mari engaged Diabullet, and during this fight, Mari McCabe learns of Barry's identity being The Flash. Later when he met Iris at CC Jitters, he and Mari meet again and unknowingly to him, Mari listens in on a conversation he has with Joe saying there is a new player in town.

Barry once again responds when Mari returns to the third safehouse on her map, where he briefly fights Mari, before being knocked out by an unseen and unknown assailant. While he is out, the CCPD arrives on scene and he leaves. Later he meets with Mari, revealing fully well he knows who she is but wants to know what she is doing here and why she is here. He invites her to come to S.T.A.R. Labs.

Barry introduces Mari to Caitlyn Snow, Cisco Ramon and Ronnie Raymond, who are not at all thrilled that she came with Barry. While giving a tour, they find out that Captain Cold and Heat Wave will assault the CCPD precinct. Taking Mari with him, he secures Joe and Captain Singh before realizing they are to late and Snart and Rory took Gratha. When they learned Gratha, Snart and Rory were heading to Gemcore City, he decided to follow with Mari and Ronnie to stop them.

#### Hunt the Gold

Barry and Mari exchanged their past, with Barry telling Mari about how his mother was killed by the Reverse Flash. He then listened with great interest and intrigued to the story of Mari.

He, Mari and Ronnie arrived at the GCCPD precinct where they learned what Snart's plan was. He and Mari headed there with a cab and took on Lisa Snart and Heat Wave. As Mari followed Captain Cold and Diabullet, he was left alone with Lisa and Rory.

He encouraged Mari to go after Diabullet when the latter found out that Diabullet left already before they could catch him. Quickly after that, Barry follows Mari into the Quattro Gemma Park. He helped her beat Diabullet along with Firestorm, he had to hit Diabullet at full speed in order to do so. He is there when Mari, Payton and Diabullet are off to Zambesi to have him face judgment and tells Mari she will always have friends here.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Speed Force Connection/Meta-human physiology**: Barry's powers come from the Speed Force; a mysterious energy field that he first accessed when he gained his powers from the dark matter lightning.
	+ **Superhuman speed**: Barry was able to move at superhuman speeds. Barry is also unaffected by the side-effects caused by these speeds such as high friction, reduced oxygen, and kinetic impact.
	+ **Superhuman stamina**: Barry's body can handle the stresses of superhuman racing without noticeable distress, and his body's enhanced stamina allows him to function much longer then a normal human without getting tired or weak.
	+ **Extreme Force Generation**: Through Barry's ability to accelerate his movement and that of his cells, he can generate great amounts of physical forces, such as kinetic energy and friction.Through generation of momentum via his extreme acceleration, he is able to propel himself through the air and create substantial frictional force with any object he comes into contact with, as seen when he jumped 10-15 feet in the air to collide with a large wooden plank to save Joe West from it as it fell in his direction.

## Equipment

* **The Flash suit**: Barry wears a protective suit as his superhero alter-ego, The Flash, to hide his identity from his enemies when he goes out fighting crime. It also includes built-in sensors to track Barry's vitals, location, power output, speed level, and allows them to stay in contact with him from S.T.A.R. Labs, however, Barry's communication device can be deactivated by turning his ear piece off.
