| − | ==Biography== |
||
| − | ===Early Life=== |
||
| − | Barry Allen was born on September 30, 1992, in [[Central City]], [[Ohio]], to [[Henry Allen|Henry]] and [[Nora Allen]]. When Barry was 9 years old, his mother was killed at home by an unknown assailant, but the blame for her murder was wrongly placed on his father, who was sent to a [[Central City]] prison as a result. While Barry always claimed that his father didn't kill his mother, nobody believed him. leading Barry to become obsessed with forensic science in hopes of proving his father's innocence. |

| − | ====The Red Streak==== |
||
| − | One night, while Barry was struck by a bolt of lightning, which gave him the power to move, think and act at inhuman speeds, as well as the ability to vibrate his body on a microscopic level. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====Monitored by Lex Luthor==== |
||
| − | [[File:Flash security footage.jpg|thumb|250px|Barry Allen caught on a security camera.]] |
||
| − | [[Lex Luthor]], in his search for [[Metahumans]], discovered Barry, compiling surveillance evidence of the speedster's activities. The security camera of a pharmacy showed Barry stopping a mugger holding a cashier at gunpoint. With his super speed, Barry raced over to the counter and knocked the mugger out as his lightning trail caused the lights to momentarily flicker. Barry did all of that at such incredible speeds that by the time he ran back to the fridge where he'd left the milk bottle, it was still in the same place in the air, not having enough time to fall down. Lex Luthor was ultimately able to hack into the security cameras, and thus finally perceive the young speedster hero in action.<ref name="Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice">{{Film ref|Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice}}</ref> |

||
| − | After the [[Death of Superman|death]] of [[Superman]], the Kryptonian became a beacon of inspiration for others around the world, inducing Barry to openly use his powers and come out into the light of [[Central City]]. When [[Captain Boomerang]] attempted to rob the [[Central City Diamond Exchange]], the Flash appeared as Boomerang knocked out his partner to take the fall, stating there was "no honor among thieves" before launching Boomerang against a nearby wall, leaving him for the police to arrest.<ref name="Suicide Squad">{{Film ref|Suicide Squad}}</ref> Barry would later encounter Captain Boomerang once again, this time Barry was knocked out by and tied to a rocket boomerang, which he managed to escape from and capture Captain Boomerang once again. |

||
| − | After [[Task Force X]] successfully defeated the terrorist attack of [[Enchantress]] and [[Incubus]] in [[Midway City]], [[Amanda Waller]] met with [[Bruce Wayne]], asking him to use his connections to divert the rumors following the calamitous events, and in exchange she gave Bruce her files on multiple notable [[Metahumans]], including Barry, [[June Moone]], [[Arthur Curry]], and [[Victor Stone]].<ref name="Suicide Squad"/> |

| − | ===Coming Together=== |
||
| − | ====Visiting Henry Allen==== |
||
| − | [[File:Barry visits his father.jpg|thumb|left|251px|Barry visits his father.]] |
||
| − | Barry went to visit his father, [[Henry Allen]], in prison, where Henry has been since being wrongly convicted of murdering his wife, [[Nora Allen]], since Barry's childhood. While signing in, a man behind him becomes annoyed because he feels Barry is taking too long. Using his super speed, Barry draws glasses and a beard on his face. Barry and Henry talk about Barry's obsession with proving his father's innocence; Barry believes the original investigation was botched. Henry tells his son not to keep coming to visit him. Barry tells him to never ask him to do that again. Afterward, Barry headed back to his apartment. |

| − | ====Meeting Bruce Wayne==== |
||
| − | {{Quote|I'm putting together a team. You see, I believe enemies are coming-"<br>Stop right there! I'm in!"<br>"That's it? Just like that?"<br>"Yeah, well- I...I need... friends.|[[Bruce Wayne]] and Barry Allen|Justice League (film)}} |
||
| − | [[File:Flash meets Batman.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Flash dodging a [[batarang]].]] |
||
| − | Barry returned to his loft after visiting his father, flipping the breaker on to reveal his home, a flat filled with monitors displaying a wide variety of information, including diagnostics of his suit, as well as an episode of ''[[w:c:rickandmorty|Rick and Morty]]''. In the dark, sitting in Barry's "second favorite chair", was [[Bruce Wayne]], who promptly introduced himself and handed Barry a printout of the security camera footage of his encounter with a mugger found on the [[LexCorp]] files. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Barry instantly recognized himself in the photo and tried, unsuccessfully, to dismiss the person as merely someone who looks like him, but "definitely not" him. Bruce, however, told Barry that he knew Barry has abilities but just needed to know what they are. Barry nervously rambled about his personal skills, including "very competitive ice dancing", when Bruce suddenly hurled a [[batarang]] at him, but Barry instinctively used his speed to dodge and catch it. |
||
| − | [[File:Barry recruited by Batman.jpg|thumb|250px|Barry holding Bruce's batarang.|left]] |
||
| − | Recognizing it, an awed Barry deduced that Bruce was the Batman. Bruce noted his abilities as being fast, but Barry digressed, calling the deduction an oversimplification. Bruce moved on, telling Barry about the [[Justice League|team]] he was putting together to battle a [[Steppenwolf|powerful enemy]], and almost immediately, Barry wanted in. Bruce was taken aback slightly, but when Barry told him that he needed friends, Bruce accepted his reasoning. Barry, admiring the batarang, promptly asked Bruce if he could keep it as a souvenir. |
||
| − | [[File:Bruce and Barry heading to the car.jpg|thumb|250x250px|Barry and Bruce heading to the car]] |
||
| − | As Barry and Bruce headed to his car, Barry consumed an entire box of pizza and explained the concept of the [[Speed Force]], and how it allows him to consume insane amounts of food. However, when Barry asked Bruce just how many there were on the team, Bruce's response prompted Barry to then ask what exactly Bruce's powers were, to which Bruce told him that his power was that he is rich. |

||
| − | {{Quote|Save one person. Don't talk, don't fight. Get in, get one out."<br>"And then?"<br>"You'll know.|[[Batman]] and Flash|Justice League (film)}} |
||
| − | [[File:James Gordon meeting Justice League.jpg|right|thumb|right|250px|Barry joins a meeting with Commissioner Gordon.]] |
||
| − | Arriving in Gotham, Barry and Bruce rendezvouz with Diana Prince, who informs the latter on her progress with [[Cyborg|Victor]]'s recruitment. Just then, Barry sees the [[Bat Signal]] and excitingly reminds Bruce that it meant they should get going, leading to Bruce and Diana sharing a look over the young vigilante's behavior. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Meeting with [[James Gordon|Commissioner Gordon]], the three are joined by [[Victor Stone]], who’s [[Silas Stone|father]] was one of the [[S.T.A.R. Labs]] scientists kidnapped by the [[Parademons]]. The group managed to figure out that the scientists were being rallied underground at [[Gotham Harbor]], thanks to Victor. As the group arrived, they witness [[Steppenwolf]] mercilessly murder one of the scientists after she did not reveal the location of a [[Mother Box]], to which a scared Barry nervously told [[Batman]] that he has no combat skills to offer and that his fighting experience consisted of him ambushing people; however, Bruce responds by telling him to simply save a single hostage without focusing on the battle, trusting that he would know what to do next. As the League began their attack, Barry swiftly collected [[Silas Stone]] and, realizing the amazing feeling of saving people, goes on to rescue the rest of the hostages before joining in the fight against the Parademons. |

| − | [[File:Flash returns Wonder Woman's sword.jpg|250px|thumb|Flash return's Wonder Woman's sword.|left]] |
||
| − | By the time Barry returns to the fight, Diana has hold of her sword, so Flash uses his speed to move the hand back in her grasp. Distracted by his accomplishment, Barry loses his footing and tumbles to the ground below. He is able to recover quick enough to clumsily save Diana from the falling [[Knightcrawler]]. As Steppenwolf approaches them, Barry is grazed in the leg by a Parademon blast and is nearly taken before being saved by Diana. However, Steppenwolf proves to be too strong for the ragtag team to handle, catching a missile fired from the Knightcrawler and using it to flood the area before escaping. Luckily, [[Aquaman]] saves them by slowing the tide with [[Aquaman's trident|his trident]], allowing Barry and the others to get to safety. |

| − | {{quote|Right, but we mean bring him back in like a "Yay, he's back" way, not in like a [[wikipedia:Pet Sematary|Pet Sematary]] scenario?|Barry Allen regarding Superman's resurrection|Justice League (film)}} |
||
| − | The [[Justice League|League]] regrouped in the [[Batcave]] to plan their next move. After discovering the capabilities of the Mother Box in Cyborg's possession, Bruce decided to use the [[Genesis Chamber]] in the [[Scout Ship 0344|Kryptonian ship]] along with the Mother Box to resurrect Superman, resulting in a heated debate in which Barry sided with Bruce, though not without mentioning his concerns of a ''[[wikipedia:Pet Sematary|Pet Sematary]]'' scenario occurring. Out of options, Victor and Barry dig up Clark's grave, with the pair noting the abnormality in their task and bonding over their powers. |
||
| − | [[File:Superman fighting the Flash.gif|thumb|250x250px|Flash dodging Clark's attacks.|left]] |
||
| − | After bringing Superman's body up, the team submerges the Kryptonian and Barry fires off an electrical charge that energized the Box, whose restorative energy field healed and revived the fallen hero. However, Superman awakened disoriented and, believing them to be hostile, attacks the League, who were all but powerless against him. While Superman holding back Diana, Arthur, and Victor simultaneously, Barry attempted to flank him, though this tactic quickly proved to be in vain as Superman could almost to keeps up with Barry's speed, much to his terrified amazement. Flash, in haste, attempted to evade Superman's attacks, but is knocked into the wall of the memorial and incapacitated. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====Final Battle==== |
||
| − | Deducing Steppenwolf's plans to combine the [[Mother Box]]es near an abandoned town located in [[Russia]], Barry and the League took off in the [[Flying Fox]] to face the Apokoliptian. |
||
| − | [[File:Flash fighting Parademons.png|thumb|250px|Flash fighting the Parademons]] |
||
| − | Upon arriving, Barry and the others observe as [[Batman]] leads the [[Parademons]] away and takes down the shield surrounding Steppenwolf's base. Entering, Barry gets Victor to the [[Mother Box|Mother Boxes]] while he neutralized the hoarde of incoming Parademons. When Batman learned that civilians nearby were going to be killed by the terraformation, he ordered Barry to “go for a walk” and evacuate them, who is assisted by [[Superman]] who saved the residents of an entire apartment building, much to Barry’s amazement. |

||
| − | After Superman and Cyborg separate the Mother Boxes, Barry comes in to tell them about the 'beauty to behold' outside when Steppenwolf attacks only to be finally subdued by Aquaman, Wonder Woman, and Superman. Sensing his fear the Parademons attack their leader who is transported from Earth ending the invasion. Outside Barry alongside the others admire the beatuy as plant life emerges in the village. |

| − | After the battle with [[Steppenwolf]], Barry returned to his normal life, thanks to recommendations from a [[Bruce Wayne]], Barry was hired for a position in the [[Central City Police Department]]'s crime lab. Barry then visited his father, displaying his letter of employment while explaining that it wasn't the greatest position, but it was, in fact, a steady job for him. |

||
| − | Days later Barry had challenged Clark to race to the Pacific. While Clark was a little reluctant Barry said this was simply a friendly competition. The two then made small wagers with Clark first joking with Barry by telling him if he won Barry was off the team leaving Barry stunned for a second before realizing he was joking. Clark’s wagered that if he won Barry had to take the team all to brunch which Bruce told him about. Barry while humorously saying he felt a little betrayed by Bruce telling him that agreed and wagered if he won he get to tell everyone to which Clark agreeded. The two then readied themselves and the race began. |

||
| − | [[File: The Flash appears in Bruce's dream.png|thumb|250px|Future Flash appears to Bruce.]] |
||
| − | The Flash traveled back from a possible future to the [[Batcave]], appearing in a vortex of bright blue [[Speed Force]] energy, warning [[Batman]] of the dangers that the future might hold, regarding [[Superman]] becoming the ruthless totalitarian dictator of Earth (commanding both [[Regime Stormtroopers]] and [[Parademon]]s), that Batman had always been right about and should fear "him", which could only be avoided if "she" was saved from death, and that [[Lois Lane]] is "the key". A nightmarish vision accompanies this message, showing the final days of the [[Insurgency]]'s war with the [[Regime Stormtroopers|Regime]], resulting in it's crushing defeat and that future's Batman's death. Present day Batman quickly wakes up shortly thereafter, and whether or not this was a dream remains unknown, but Batman himself appears not to think so,<ref name="Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" /> hence, following [[Superman]]'s death, he finally heeds the Flash's request, which leads to him and his new ally [[Wonder Woman]] tracking down the [[metahuman]]s on [[Lex Luthor]]'s files, and forming the [[Justice League]] with them. |

||
| − | [[File:Flash 3.png|thumb|250px|left|Barry visiting his father in prison.]] |
||
| − | Barry Allen is a remarkably intelligent and determined individual, becoming a highly skilled forensic scientist in an effort to prove the innocence of his imprisoned father [[Henry Allen]] in the death of his mother [[Nora Allen]]. As the Flash, Barry is determined to keep his secret identity a secret from others, demonstrated by the many excuses he came up with when confronted by [[Bruce Wayne]], despite none of them were convincing enough to fool the latter. When finally exposed by Bruce, Barry was quick to agree to join the [[Justice League]], due to his great desire to gain friends he could relate to. |
||
| − | |||
| − | However, despite his incredible powers and happy personality, Barry initially remained insecure and unsure of himself, since all of his League teammates seemed prepared to do battle against [[Steppenwolf]]'s army, while Flash, as he modestly admits, has never been in an actual battle before, since up until then, he would just ambush villains like [[Captain Boomerang]] and run away. In addition to this, Flash had a penchant for drifting around and is plagued by multiple social disorders. However, following the battle against the Apokoliptian forces, Barry developed a stronger sense of confidence, as seen when he didn't hesitate to face the disoriented [[Superman]] after his resurrection, despite being visibly terrified. |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:Flash smile.png|thumb|250px|Barry, excited at the prospect of making new friends.]] |
||
| − | Despite his tragic childhood, Barry is quite laid-back, witty, bubbly, somewhat childish and humorous, in stark contrast to the very calm, mature, dark and serious [[Batman]], as well as most of the Justice League. Regardless of these differences though, Flash idolizes Batman, promptly expressing a desire to keep a batarang, and gushing about seeing the [[Bat-Signal]]. Flash seems to idolize and admire [[Superman]] just as much, however, as the Man of Steel's heroic death is what inspired Barry to also more openly use his own [[metahuman]] powers and come out into the light as the Flash. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Barry's humorous attitude, however, initially annoys his fellow [[Justice League]]rs; Batman and [[Aquaman]] in particular, as well as [[Cyborg]], and even the considerate [[Wonder Woman]], though she still treats him with compassion.<ref name="TheFlashPlaysAnnoyingComicRelief">[https://www.inverse.com/article/25471-the-flash-barry-allen-comedy-relief-justice-league-movie The Flash Plays "Annoying" Comic Relief in 'Justice League']</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Barry was nonetheless able to strike up friendships with most of them: bonding with [[Victor Stone]] over their similar accidents and insecurities, looking up to [[Bruce Wayne]] and [[Diana Prince]] as mentors, and developing a friendly rivalry with [[Superman]], even challenging him to a race to the Pacific coast to see which one of them was truly faster. Barry can also be extremely serious on occasion, notably during his regular visits to his imprisoned father, [[Henry Allen]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Due to his accelerated experience, Barry has developed an impatient temperament, with him notably voicing a dislike for brunch as a result. |

| − | ===Powers=== |
||
| − | {{Quote|So you're fast."<br>"That feels like an oversimplification.|[[Bruce Wayne]] and Barry Allen|Justice League (film)}} |
||
| − | '''[[Speed Force]] Conduit''': Barry Allen, after being struck by lightning and doused in nearby chemicals, gained a [[metahuman]] connection to the [[Speed Force]], an extra-dimensional energy field, granting him many speed-based abilities.<ref name="The Dawn of the Justice League">''[[DC Films Presents: The Dawn of the Justice League]]''</ref> |
||
| − | *'''Superhuman Speed''': Barry is capable of moving at tremendous hypersonic speeds, an ability so powerful that his movements are invisible to the naked eye. Flash notably ran from a fridge, knocked out a pharmacy mugger, and ran back all so quickly that the milk bottle he'd left was still in the same place, not having enough time to fall. When visiting his [[Henry Allen|father]] at [[Blackgate Penitentiary]], Barry drew on a man's face too fast for him to notice. As the Justice League attempted to restrain [[Superman]] following his revival, Flash was able to evade the majority of the Kryptonian's attacks. The intensity of his speed allows the Flash to deliver superhumanly strong attacks, as well as to run along vertical surfaces, across the surface of water, through solid matter, into other planes of frequency, and even though time.<ref name="The Dawn of the Justice League"/> |
||
| − | **'''Accelerated Healing''': Barry's speed extends to him on a biological level, and thus, his metabolism functions faster than most humans, allowing him to heal any injuries within a short time-frame. Hence, Barry required only a few minutes to heal from getting shot in the leg by a [[Parademon]] plasma bolt. However, because of his accelerated metabolism, he burns calories at an accelerated rate, keeping his body slim and fit, requiring Barry to intake a high amount of calories in order to function normally. Due to this, Barry describes himself as a "snack hole": a black hole of snacks. |
||
| − | **'''Superhuman Reflexes''': [[File:Barry sees the Batarang in slow motion.png|thumb|250px|Barry's slow-motion speedster perception.]]Barry possesses reflexes far greater than a normal human being. This allows him to easily react to danger and events, and perceive the world in slow motion. Fortunately for Barry's sanity, he is able to relax this ability to enable him to interact with and tolerate the real world. Barry was able to easily dodge a [[batarang]] thrown at him by [[Bruce Wayne]], with it appearing to be moving at him in slow motion (at least 62 times slower than reality), and Bruce himself frozen in place from Barry's perspective. While in this state, he is also able to outpace the speed of other forces like gravity, allowing him to move faster than an object can be affected by gravity and begin falling. His reflexes are faster than normal people can even perceive. However, [[Superman]] is shown to be capable of moving at similar speed, able to match Flash himself on one occasion, to the point where a friendly wager was made between the two in a contest to see who was truly faster. |
||
| − | **'''Extreme Force Generation''': While moving at accelerated speed, Flash generates superhuman levels of momentum, which allow him to enhance the force behind his attacks, impacts, and collisions, often propelling people and objects several feet, that he uses to compensate for his average strength. Hence, Flash was able to easily mow down an entire squad of [[Parademons]] by colliding with them at immense speed, defeat [[Captain Boomerang]] in the same swift manner, and even to send a mugger flying with a single push. When tasked with saving the civilians during the [[Battle for Earth]], Barry was able to push an entire pickup truck several miles away while running. |
||
| − | **'''Momentum Negation''': Flash also has the ability to come to a full stop despite the extreme inertia of his movements, allowing him to further the illusion of having not moved at all if he moves at super speed and returns to his previous location he before anyone can notice it. |
||
| − | **'''Superhuman Stamina''': Barry's body can handle the stress of moving at superhuman speeds for extended periods of time without getting tired or weak, so long as he's not running on an empty stomach. |
||
| − | **'''Superhuman Agility''': Barry's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to superhuman levels, allowing him to navigate while moving at superhuman speed. Thus, Flash managed to dodge most of the attacks from [[Steppenwolf]] and [[Superman]]. This coordination, however, isn't an intuitive trait, as Barry is still slightly clumsy. |
||
| − | **'''Intangibility''': Theoretically, Flash can phase himself through solid objects by vibrating at super speed.<ref name="The Dawn of the Justice League"/> |
||
| − | **'''Inter-frequency Travel:''' Flash's incredible speed enables him to travel into other planes of frequency, where [[Speed Force|other realities]] are located.<ref name="The Dawn of the Justice League"/> |
||
| − | **'''[[Time Travel]]''': [[File:Flash showing his face.png|thumb|250px|Future Flash's message to Batman.]]Flash can run fast enough to break through the fabric of the space-time continuum, enabling him to travel back in time to monitor or alter past events. With the help of [[Cyborg]]'s calculations,<ref name="Zack Snyder Flash Knightmare"/> the Flash from an alternate future traveled back to warn [[Bruce Wayne]] of the potential danger [[Superman]] poses, showing Bruce a vision of the future. |
||
| − | **'''Electrokinesis''': While moving at incredible speeds, Barry generates bolts of electricity which can cause nearby technology to short-circuit or overload. He was able to charge himself enough to charge a [[Mother Box]] with enough energy to jumpstart [[Scout Ship 0344]]'s [[Genesis Chamber]]. According to [[Amanda Waller]]'s files, Flash can also charge the air vortexes that he generates with electricity, thereby further increasing their offensive capabilities. He is also capable of using this ability for smaller tasks, such as lighting a firecracker by snapping his fingers. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Abilities=== |
||
| − | *'''Gifted Intelligence''': Barry Allen is exceptionally intelligent scienct enthusiast, with aptitudes in physics, forensics, and engineering, constructing his own [[Flash suit]] from anti-friction fibers employed by [[NASA]] (impressing even [[Batman]] with the sophisticated craftsmanship) and dedicating himself to studying forensic science in order to prove his father's innocence in the murder of his mother. |
||
| − | **'''Bilingualism''': Apart from his native English, Barry claims to be fluent in American Sign Language. |
||
| − | *'''Musician''': Barry claims to be viola player. |

The suit is composed of specific materials, with [[Bruce Wayne]] noting that it is constructed from the same silica-based quartz fabric employed by [[NASA]] to protect spaceships during re-entry. The suit is worn by Barry to protect him from the immense friction encountered when he runs, as well as being overall resistant to extreme temperatures. |
||
| − | **'''[[Knightmare Flash Suit]]''': In an alternate future where [[Superman]] becomes a tyrant of [[Earth]], Barry wears a more mechanical version of the suit designed by [[Bruce Wayne]].<ref name="Zack Snyder Flash Knightmare">[http://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/zack-snyder-confirms-fan-speculation-batman-designed-flashs-knightmare-costume-batman-v-superman/#gallery-38 ''Zack Snyder Confirms Fan Speculation: Batman Designed Flash's Knightmare Costume in 'Batman v Superman' '']</ref> This suit is more heavily armored and streamlined, while also having a retractable faceshield that allows Barry to smash through obstacles without and damage. |
