“	Life is locomotion... if you're not moving, you're not living. But there comes a time when you've got to stop running away from things... and you've got to start running towards something, you've got to forge ahead. Keep moving. Even if your path isn't lit... trust that you'll find your way.	„
	~ Barry Allen

“	This is my home. You mess with Central City, you mess with the Flash.	„

Summary

Bartholomew Henry Allen, or better known as Barry Allen, is the second Flash, one of DC's most iconic superheroes.

Barry was a single child, born to Henry Allen and Nora Allen. Barry would face tragedy at a young age when his mother was murdered by an unknown man. His father would then be falsely accused of this crime, leaving the young Barry alone. Driven to prove his father's innocence, Barry would grow up to be the youngest CSI worker in the police force.

One fateful night, Barry would be struck by lightning and was doused with several chemicals. The resulting incident placed Barry in a coma. When he awoke, he discovered that he had been granted power by the "Speed Force", granting him a multitude of abilities such as Super Speed, and being able to defy the laws of physics.

With his newfound power, Barry chose to use his powers to help others and became The Flash, as well as becoming a founding member of the Justice League.

Feats:

• Disarms some soldiers before they’re aware they’ve been disarmed.
• Searches Manhattan and finds Madam Xanadu before Frankenstein is aware the Flash has even left.
• Runs through everywhere in Manhattan saving civilians from monsters.
• Can think at a speed where he can see the future and make the best possible choice for every action.
• His instincts and reflexes allow him to react and move the femtosecond he feels even the slightest changes in air pressure.
• Flash calls the Watch Tower’s computers slow, despite the fact that they can perform over 100 quadrillion calculations per second.
• Can learn how to use Hal Jordan's Power Ring in seconds.
• Can speed up all of time and space and take everything a few seconds into the future, choosing who to take with him and who to leave behind, skipping a time paradox in the process.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Accelerated Healing: Barry isn't invulnerable, nor durable enough to sustain damage. However, if he is harmed he will heal at high speeds. Any normal wear and tear damage to his bodies are almost instantly healed.
• Flight: Barry can rotate his arms and spin his body like a top to achieve something resembling helicopter flight.
• Increased Perceptions: Barry travelling at incredibly high speeds may miss important events as they run by. The Speed Force grants him enhanced senses that allow him to see, hear, smell, touch and/or taste at an increased speed and understand it as it is processed.
• Phasing: Barry can vibrate his molecules so quickly that he can achieve intangibility allowing him to phase through objects.
• Supercharged Brain Activity: Barry can access superhuman levels in his brain further than processing information. He can test theories, understand difficult equations and run trial and error in his brain at superhuman speeds. Barry can think of an enormous number of outcomes of a situation if he focuses the Speed Force on his brain.
• Vortex Creation: Barry can rotate his arms and cause an incredible amount of wind to burst through his focused funnel. Barry uses this ability automatically when he runs, reducing the air currents around his body to low enough levels to no longer inhibit their speed. Creatively, Barry can create tornadoes and gusts with his arms.
• Speed Force Drag: Can drag people into the Speed Force and have increased stats and control over his power. Barry can even defy gravity and grab things using the Speed Force lightning-aura.
• Time Shift: Barry is connected to time in a similar way like Professor Zoom, but Barry doesn't slow time down, he can move it forward.

Note: Although many people refer to his technique as the Infinite Mass Punch, the name doesn't accurately depict the events that play out. While it is theoretically possible for Flash to attain Infinite Mass, Flash has not shown the qualities of having Infinite Mass in any of the instances he performed. While Wally should be capable of it like Jenni Ognats, it's unclear if Speedsters would survive the aftermath of becoming a singularity and ripping the universe due to the Speed Force breaking down around them.
