-===Early Life===
+[[Category:Actors with Roles in Comic Book Adaptations outside the DC Extended Universe]]
-Bartholomew Henry "Barry" Allen was born on September 30, 1992, in Fallville, Iowa, to [[Henry Allen]], a doctor, and [[Nora Allen|Nora Thompson-Allen]], an optimistic farmgirl. At age 11, his mother was killed at home, and the blame for her murder was 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.<ref name="The Dawn of the Justice League" />

-==== Monitored by Lex Luthor ====
-[[File:Flash security footage.jpg|thumb|229x229px|Barry Allen caught on a security camera.]]
-[[Lex Luthor]] kept an eye on Barry (whom he nicknamed "The Flash" and "Red Streak"), as he did with other recorded [[Meta Human|metahumans]]. [[LexCorp|LexCorp Industries]] recorded a video of him while he was shopping at a pharmacy. The security camera showed Barry walking over to a fridge getting some milk, picking up a bottle, but then his attention is drawn away when he sees a mugger holding the cashier at gunpoint. With his super speed, Barry races over to the counter and knocked the mugger out cold as his lightning trail killed the lights. Barry did all of that at such incredible speeds, that by the time he'd run 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.<ref name="Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice">{{Film ref|Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice}}</ref>

-[[File:Flash_stops_Boomerang.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Flash appears at the Diamond exchange.]]
-After [[Superman]]'s heroic death, he became a beacon of hope and inspiration for Barry, inducing the latter to also more openly use his [[Meta Human|metahuman]] powers and come out into the light. Thus, now operating openly with his powers as the scarlet speedster superhero nicknamed "The Flash", Barry is able to swiftly and easily stop [[Captain Boomerang]]'s attempted bank robbery, knocking the infamous Australian mercenary out with his extreme momentum, leading to Boomerang's imprisonment in [[Belle Reve]].
-==== Amanda Waller's Files ====
-[[File:Flash.png|thumb|200px|ARGUS's files on Barry.]]After her [[Task Force X|Suicide Squad]] successfully defeats the mystical duo of [[Enchantress]] and [[Incubus]] in [[Midway City]] and saves her, [[Amanda Waller]] meets up with billionaire [[Batman|Bruce Wayne]], asking him to take care of the rumors following the aftermath of the calamitous events, and in exchange, she gives Bruce her files on multiple notable [[Meta Human|metahuman]]s, including that of the Flash, [[Aquaman]], and [[Cyborg]].

-[[File:Barry recruited by Batman.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Barry holding Bruce's batarang.]]
-Barry returns to his apartment and puts his hand to a circuit breaker, which turns on with just a few sparks. The lights come on and reveal Barry's home, which is filled with monitors tuned to just about everything, including a Rick and Morty cartoon. In the dark, sitting in Barry's "second favorite" chair, is [[Bruce Wayne]], who was able to swiftly track the young Metahuman down using [[Amanda Waller]]'s files. He introduces himself to a dismayed and confused Barry (whom Bruce recognizes as the past version of the scarlet time-traveler that appeared in his "dream"), promptly handing him a printout of the security camera tape he found on the [[LexCorp]] files. Barry instantly recognizes himself in the photo and tries, and unsuccessfully, to dismiss the person (him) as someone who looks like him, Jewish and someone who drinks milk, claiming that he does not do so himself. Bruce surveys his apartment and tells Barry that he knows he latter has abilities, but just needs to know what they are. Barry nervously rambles about his personal skills, including competitive ice dancing. Bruce turns and suddenly hurls a [[batarang]] at him as hard as possible, but Barry uses his speed to dodge and catch it. Recognizing it, an awed Barry deduces that Bruce is Batman. Bruce deduces that he is fast, but Barry calls that an oversimplification. Bruce tells him about the "team" he is putting together and almost immediately, Barry wants in. Bruce is momentarily confused, but when Barry tells him that he needs friends, he accepts his decision. Barry, admiring the batarang, asks Bruce if he can keep it.

-[[File:The Flash appears in Bruce's dream.png|thumb|250px|The Flash appears to Bruce.]]
-The Flash traveled back from a possible future to the [[Batcave]], appearing in a vortex of bright blue Speed Force light and lightning, warning [[Batman|Bruce Wayne]] of the dangers that the future might hold, regarding [[Superman]] becoming the ruthless totalitarian dictator of Earth, that Bruce 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". Bruce 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" /> so he heeds the Flash's request, which leads to him and his new ally [[Wonder Woman]] tracking down the [[Meta Human|metahuman]]s (including the present-day version of the Flash), and forming the [[Justice League]] with them.
-==Personality==
-{{Quote|I need... friends.|Barry Allen|Justice League (film)}}
-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. As the Flash, he is determined to keep his secret identity a secret from others, demonstrated by the many excuses he came up with when confronted by [[Batman|Bruce Wayne]], though notably, none of them were convincing enough to fool the latter. When finally exposed by Bruce, Flash is quick to agree to join the [[Justice League]], due to his great desire to gain friends.
-Despite his tragic childhood, Barry is quite laid-back, witty, somewhat childish and humorous, in stark contrast to the very calm, mature, and serious [[Batman]]. Regardless of these differences though, Flash somewhat idolizes Batman, promptly expressing a desire to keep the batarang that he caught at super-speed while demonstrating his powers. 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 [[Meta Human|metahuman]] powers and come out into the light as the scarlet speedster superhero 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>.
-==Powers and Abilities==
-{{Quote|So, you're fast."<br/>"That feels like an oversimplification.|[[Batman]] and the Flash|Justice League (film)}}
-<tabber>Powers=
-[[File:The Flash produces electricity from his super speed.gif|thumb|250px|Flash, moving at super speed.]]
-*'''Speed Force:''' After being struck by lightning (and doused with some nearby chemicals in the process), the Flash, gained a [[metahuman]] connection to the Speed Force, an extra-dimensional energy field, granting him many speed-based abilities.
-**'''Super Speed:''' Flash is capable of moving at tremendous supersonic speeds, faster than even that of [[Superman]], which makes Flash the fastest member of the [[Justice League]]. He also can move 62 times faster than any human at least. Flash notably ran away from a fridge, knocked out a pharmacy mugger, and ran back to the fridge, all so quickly, that the milk bottle left by him in the air was still in the exact same place, not having enough time to fall. The intensity of his speed allows Flash to run up vertical surfaces, across the surface of water, intangibly phase through solid matter, run into other planes of frequency, and even time-travel.<ref name="The Dawn of the Justice League"/>
-***'''Super Reflexes:''' [[File:Justice_League_First_Look_41.png|thumb|250px|Barry's slow motion speedster perception.]]Flash's speed extends to his reflexes as well, even if he is not moving at super speed, as he managed to easily dodge a [[batarang]] thrown at him by [[Batman]], with it appearing to be moving at him in slow motion (and Batman himself frozen in place) from Flash's perspective.
-***'''Super Momentum:''' Flash, due to his great speed, has superhuman momentum, and while this does not enhance his strength (which is that of a normal human), it does greatly increase the force behind Flash's blows, making them equivalent to those of considerable superhuman strength. Hence, Flash was able to easily send a pharmacy mugger flying through the air by colliding with him at immense speed, and latter effortlessly  taking down [[Captain Boomerang]] in the same swift manner. This force, however, is not enough to harm beings of tremendous nigh-invulnerable durability, like [[Superman]], [[Wonder Woman]], and [[Aquaman]], but it may momentarily stun them.
-****'''Momentum Negation:''' Flash also has superhuman stopping power, which makes him able to come to a full stop, despite the extreme momentum of his motion, with Flash notably not breaking a milk bottle after running back and catching it in mid-air at super speed. This allows Flash to further the illusion of having not moved at all if he moves at super speed and then returns to the exact position he started at, before anyone can perceive it (as Flash notably ran over, knocked out a pharmacy mugger, and ran back to the fridge so quickly, that the milk bottle left by him in the air was still in the exact same place, not having enough time to fall), with only [[Lex Luthor]]'s security camera able to perceive it (and even then, only because Lex slowed down the time between each consecutive shot just enough).
-****'''Momentum Absorption:''' Flash, according to [[Amanda Waller]]'s files can extend his momentum negation towards others, temporarily stealing their speed, adding it to his own.
-***'''Super Stamina:''' Flash possesses immense superhuman stamina, which allows him to withstand the stress of moving at super-speeds for extended periods of time without growing tired or weak.
-***'''Super Agility:''' Flash possesses agility, balance, and bodily coordination on superhuman levels, which allows him to easily maneuver while moving superhumanly quickly.
-***'''Intangibility:''' Flash, due to his incredible speed, can vibrate any part of his body, allowing him to thereby phase himself through solid objects.<ref name="The Dawn of the Justice League">''[[DC Films Presents: The Dawn of the Justice League]]''</ref>
-***'''Inter-frequency Travel:''' Flash's incredible speed allows him to move into another plane of frequency, where another reality is located.<ref name="The Dawn of the Justice League" />
-***'''Time Travel:''' [[File:Flash_showing_his_face.png|thumb|300px|Future Flash's message to Batman]]Flash can run fast enough to break open holes in the fabric of the space-time continuum, allowing him to travel back in time and re-visit past events, which is arguably the most powerful facet of Flash's speed. Hence, the Flash from a possible future briefly traveled back to the past, appearing to [[Batman]] in a vortex of bright blue light and Speed Force lightning, warning him of the upcoming potential dangers regarding [[Superman]], [[Lois Lane]], and an upcoming apocalypse.<ref name="The Dawn of the Justice League"/>, and showing Batman a vision of this potential future (where Superman is a ruthless totalitarian dictator, and Earth is conquered by [[Parademon]]s) in the form of a nightmarish dream. However, Flash is not always precise with this ability, as he notably travels too far back in time when delivering this message to Batman, which leaves the latter unable to fully understand the meaning of future Flash's warning, as Batman was not as well informed on upcoming events as the version of Batman that future Flash had intended to contact.
-***'''Aerokinesis:''' Flash, in another side-effect of his tremendous speed, can create vortexes of wind by rotating his arms at incredible speeds, or by running in a circular fashion. According to [[Amanda Waller]]'s files, Flash can also charge these vortexes with Speed Force electricity, thereby further increasing their offensive capabilities.
-**'''Accelerated Metabolism/Healing Factor:''' Flash's speed extends to him on a microscopic level, and thus, his metabolism is far faster than that of a normal human, allowing him to heal and regenerate from any bone or flesh injuries without lingering side-effects within a short time span, with Flash even able to recuperate from injuries that are highly crippling. However, because of his ability to move at high speeds, Flash burns through calories at an accelerated rate, keeping his body slim and fit. Due to this, Flash needs to intake a high amount of calories (typically in the form of whatever food he can find) in order to function normally.
-**'''Electrokinesis:''' Flash, when moving at incredible speeds, can generate bolts of blue Speed Force lightning (similar to the lightning that he was originally struck by), which can cause electronic technology nearby to short-circuit, overload or even burst into sparks. According to [[Amanda Waller]]'s files, Flash can also charge the air vortexes that he generates with Speed Force electricity, thereby further increasing their offensive capabilities.

-Abilities=
-*'''Gifted Intelligence:''' Barry Allen is exceptionally intelligent, capable of making his Flash Suit from the specific anti-friction fibers employed by NASA, even impressing [[Batman|Bruce Wayne]] with the sophisticated craftsmanship.
-*'''Forensic Expert:''' Barry Allen is a highly skilled forensic scientist, and is confident in his ability to ultimately prove his father [[Henry Allen]]'s innocence in the murder of his mother [[Nora Allen]], while exposing the enigmatic true murderer in the process.<ref name="The Dawn of the Justice League"/>
-|-|
-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, though his [[metahuman]] metabolic healing factor keeps this weakness from being too crippling.
-|-|
-Equipment=
-*'''[[The Flash suit|First Flash suit]]:''' Barry Allen wears a protective scarlet suit (with quite a few wires holding the various pieces together, and 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. The suit is composed of specific fibers, with [[Batman]] noting that it is the material that NASA uses to protect spaceships from burning up as they re-enter Earth's atmosphere (in order to avoid the suit burning up from the immense air friction created when Barry runs at super-speed).
-*'''[[The Flash suit|Second Flash suit]]:''' Barry Allen's second more updated suit, made for him by [[Batman]]. Its is slightly similar to Bruce's suit though is armor plated and overall heat resistant.
-*'''[[The Flash suit|Alternate future Flash suit]]:''' Barry Allen wore an altered version of the suit in a seemingly alternate reality, where [[Superman]] became a malevolent vengeful tyrant opposed by [[Batman]]. This suit is more armored and streamlined, probably to protect from [[Parademons]], and maybe even Superman himself, while also having a protective helmet, that covers Barry's head and face, while the traditional cowl is underneath it.
