This article contains MAJOR SPOILERS for the most recent DC Extended Universe content. You have been warned. |
Barry Allen is a man who was struck by lightning, gaining the metahuman ability to move and vibrate his molecules at incredible superhuman speeds. Using these powers, he became the superhero known as The Flash.[1]
He would eventually join as a member of the Justice League.
Biography
Early life
When he was a child, Barry Allen's mother was killed, with the blame wrongly placed on his father, who was sent to prison as a result. Due to this, Barry became obsessed with forensic science, hoping to one day personally prove his father's innocence. One night, while working on his mother's case, Barry was struck by lightning, which gave him the power to run at incredible speeds, as well as the ability to vibrate his atoms at tremendous rates.[1]
Civilian Life
Barry Allen caught on a security camera.
At some point after obtaining his superpowers, Barry Allen was caught on a security camera stopping a mugger at super speed, with that footage later being obtained by Lex Luthor.[2]

Possible Future
- "Bruce, listen to me now! It's Lois, it's Lois Lane! She's the key! Am I too soon?! Aaaah, I'm too soon! You were right about him! You've always been right about him! Fear him! Find us, Bruce, you have to find us!"
- ―The Flash to Bruce Wayne[src]
The Flash appears to Bruce.
The Flash traveled back from a possible future to the Batcave, appearing in a vortex of bright light and lightning, warning Bruce Wayne of the dangers that the future might hold, regarding Superman and an "apocalypse", which could only be avoided if "she" was saved from death, and that Lois Lane is "the key." Bruce quickly wakes up shortly thereafter, and whether or not this was a dream remains unknown, but Batman himself appears not to think so.[2]

Powers and Abilities
Powers
- Metahuman Speed Force Physiology: Barry's powers come from the Speed Force, a mysterious extra-dimensional energy field that he first accessed after gaining his powers from a lightning strike. The lightning altered Barry's DNA to supercharge his cells with enormous amounts of electricity, and likewise augmented his physiology to beyond peak human condition, obtaining a lean-built frame to properly handle his new abilities. Barry is shown able to directly access the Speed Force, however it is currently unknown if he can do so at will.
- Super Speed: Flash, after being struck by lightning (and doused with some nearby chemicals in the process), gained a metahuman connection to the Speed Force, making him capable of moving at tremendous supersonic speeds, slightly faster than even Superman, making Flash the fastest member of the Justice League. This allows him notably to run at tremendous supersonic speeds. In addition, bolts of electricity similar to the lightning he was struck by manifests whenever he moves, which can cause ay electric technology nearby to short circuit, overload or even burst into sparks. He can even vibrate himself on a microscopic level to allow him to move through solid matter, inducing jolt or tremors with physical contact, or enhance the amount of force in his attacks to superhuman levels. As his speed extends to him on a microscopic level, and thus, his cells and biochemistry work considerably faster than normal, allowing him inhuman resilience to being stunned, dazed or fatigued, as well as allowing him to heal and recover completely in hours from any bone or flesh injuries without lingering side-effects, even if the injuries are highly crippling. The intensity of his speed allows Flash to run up vertical surfaces, and across the surface of water.[1]
- Electricity Generation: When he moves at super speed, bolts of electricity manifest in the surrounding area which can cause ay electric technology nearby to short circuit, overload or even burst into sparks.
- Intangibility: Flash, due to his incredible speed, can vibrate any part of his body, allowing him to thereby phase himself through solid objects.[3]
- Inter-Frequency Travel: Flash's incredible speed allows him to move into another plane of frequency, where another reality is located.[1]

Abilities
- Forensic Expert: Barry Allen is a highly skilled forensic scientist, and is confident in his ability to ultimately prove his father's innocence in the murder of his mother.[1]
Weaknesses
- Limited Durability: Flash, since he has no invulnerability, can be stabbed, shot or otherwise damaged or injured like any normal human if he is caught moving at normal speeds.
Equipment
- Flash Suit: Barry Allen wears a protective scarlet suit (with a golden lightning bolt design on the chest) as his superhero alter-ego, the Flash, to hide his identity from his enemies when he fights crime. In a seemingly alternate reality where Superman became a malevolent vengeful tyrant, Barry's suit was altered, being metallic and armored. He also wore a protective helmet that covered his head and face while wearing his traditional cowl underneath it.
