Flash (CW)

* Base
* Tachyon Enhanced

## Summary

**Bartholomew Henry "Barry" Allen** is a scientist in the Criminal and Forensic Science Division of Central City Police Department. Barry is the son of Henry and the late Nora Allen, the foster son of Joe West, and the best friend/foster brother of Iris West, whom he has romantic feelings for. After the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator exploded, it caused a giant thundercloud to form and Barry was struck by lightning, falling comatose for nine months. When he woke up from his coma, he discovered that he had developed superhuman speed and various other abilities derived from it. Using these super powers, he began acting as the vigilante and superhero known as **Red Streak** or **The Streak**. Soon after, the public recognized him as **The Flash**, stylized as the **Scarlet Speedster**. Source

**Note:** Anything Flash fought before the Reverse Flash is considered before his amp, because we lack the knowledge.

## Powers and Stats

**Name:** Barry Allen, The Flash, Scarlet Speedster, The Streak

**Origin:** Arrowverse (CW)

**Gender:** Male

**Species:** Human, Meta-human

**Age:** 28

**Standard Equipment:** Flash Suit and Tachyon Enhancer

**Intelligence:** Gifted, is a forensic scientist (did MSc in Physics and Chemistry)

**Weaknesses:**

* **Hyper-Metabolism:** While moving at accelerated speeds, Barry burns calories much faster than a normal person. While letting him break down food more efficiently than a regular human, this also requires him to consume large amounts of nutrients. Continued usage of his speed while deprived renders him disoriented and weak before ultimately passing from low blood glucose. Also, because of his accelerated healing, he is unaffected by painkillers, sedatives, or anesthetics, as he burns through them too quickly to have any effect. He also cannot experience joys like getting drunk as even consuming a special 500 proof alcohol only intoxicated for a few seconds.

* **Cold Temperatures:** Because speed is produced by a buildup of heat in the target's atoms, Barry is vulnerable to extreme cold temperatures. Under these conditions, Barry's speed will be greatly reduced. Also, direct exposure to such cold will temporarily stunt his healing capacities.

* **Electricity Absorption:** Barry's unique biology causes his body to produce massive amounts of electricity, which charges his molecules to allow for his accelerated movements. Should Barry be drained of this electrical energy, he will lose his powers. However, as this power is genetically coded to his DNA, he can potentially regain his speed by using more electricity to jump-start it.

* **Kinetic Energy Absorption:** Because Barry's abilities are derived from movement, the removal of the kinetic energy he builds up will leave him in a state of temporary paralysis. However, if he can build back up enough kinetic energy within himself, the effect can be instantly negated.

* **Time Alterations:** While Barry's speed allows him to break through the temporal barrier, it is not without drawbacks. In addition to potentially causing unforeseeable, damaging changes to the timeline, reckless travels through time can alert the Time Wraiths. These temporal guardians become instinctively drawn to the careless speedster, driven to capture the person who disturbed the timestream and draw the person into the Speed Force with it.

* **Lighter Gravity:** Lighter gravity disables his increased speed.

* **Radiation:** Radiation can negate his healing factor.
* **Power-dampening tech:** A speedster's power can be weakened or even neutralized by special technology, for example special kind of rifle can fire an energy pulse that temporarily cuts off a speedster's connection to the Speed Force, as seen when a dude shot Reverse-Flash with it. However, 6 months trapped in the Speed Force can make a speedster highly resistant to such weapons. However, powerful technology like an upgraded B.O.O.T. can still slow him down. The Speed Force Bazooka can also send a speedster, such as himself, to the Speed Force.
* **Nanites:** Nanites created by Roy Harper will disable their powers if it enters their blood stream, as seen when Green Arrow shot Reverse-Flash with it.
