The Flash

The Flash's History

Bartholomew Henry "Barry" Allen is a student at Central City University who was struck by a bolt of lightning one fateful night, gaining the ability to think and move at incredible superhuman speeds. Using these powers, he became the vigilante hero known as the Flash, fighting against criminals like Captain Boomerang while trying his best to keep a low profile in the process. He is also desperate to prove his father's innocence for the grisly murder of his mother.

He was eventually discovered and subsequently monitored by Lex Luthor and was then recruited by Bruce Wayne to be a member of the Justice League in order to help defend Earth after the death of Superman.

Following his recruitment to the team, Flash played a pivotal role in the resurrection of Superman. With the team now fully assembled, Flash contributed to the successful assault against the forces of General Steppenwolf of Apokolips, forcing the alien to retreat from Earth. Afterward, Barry was hired for a position at the Central City Police Department's crime lab, much to his father's delight.

Later, he used the Speed Force to travel across the multiverse, and, during his travels, met another version of himself and Batman, from different universes.
