Barry Allen

Adventurer

Member of the Justice League

Iris West-Allen (wife)

Wally West (nephew)

**Barry Allen** is a forensic scientist for the Central City Police Department, and the superhero known as the Flash. He is the mentor to Kid Flash, and a founding member of the Justice League.

## History

### Early life

When Barry was 11, his mother was murdered. This drove Barry to becoming a CSI in order to solve his mother's murder, which he hasn't done yet.

He was struck by lightning one night in his lab, putting him in a coma for 9 months. When he woke up, he discovered he had speed powers, donning his Flash costume, and became **the Flash**.

## Personality

Barry is a very kindhearted person, and wants to do whatever he can to help. One example in this is when he tries convincing Singh to continue a case on a man that was murdered, worried about the fact that he was a husband and a father. This is likely because he doesn't want another child to experience what he went through.

He is willing to make the sacrifices that need to have been made, a good representation of how great of a hero Barry is.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

**Speed Force Connection/Superhuman Speed:** This is his main power. Due to his connection with the Speed Force, Barry has the power to move and think at superhuman speed, making him the fastest man alive. He is shown to be faster than the normal speed of time, allowing him to defy forces such as gravity to an extent, while he is also adapted to extreme temperatures, impact, and deprivation of oxygen.

* **Superhuman Reflexes:** Due to his superhuman speed, Barry can react faster as such.
* **Superhuman Agility:** Barry's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to superhuman levels.
* **Superhuman Resilience:** Barry has nearly limitless stamina and endurance and can survive being punched by Darkseid through the air and into an exploding car, as well as several other injuries or trauma that would be fatal or crippling to normal humans.
* **Superhuman Metabolism:** Due to his speed enhanced physiology, he is resistant to weight gain & heals at an accelerated rate, allowing injuries to vanish within an hour. This metabolism also extends his health & longevity.
* **Intangibility:** By vibrating his body at super-high speeds, Flash can phase through solid objects by slipping through the gaps between molecules. His intangibility causes pain to living creatures and could be fatal if he stops vibrating for even a second while phasing through a person.
* **Enhanced Momentum:**  Barry is able to control and generate more force than humanly possible, allowing him to simulate having superhuman strength while moving at super speed. This allowed him to stun Darkseid and Superman with his attacks and effortlessly incapacitate Parademons, the former of which he left dents on when he punched them.
* **Aerokinesis:** By rotating his arms at super-speed, Barry can create strong and intense vortexes of wind.
* **Electrokinesis:** While moving at superhuman speeds, Barry's body generates Speed Force lightning.
* **Accelerated Healing:** Any injury he receives also recover from nearly any injury in hours or less, to the point where he can fully heal from third degree burns or broken bones. He can heal from injuries than humans are not unable to completely heal from, all without any lingering effects. It is possible that he may have a highly retarded aging process.

### Abilities

* **Forensics Expertise:** Barry is highly skilled in forensic science.
