Flash (Barry Allen)

"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."

- Flash

History
Bartholomew Henry "Barry" Allen is a forensic scientist in the Capital City Police department, the son of Henry and the late Nora Allen, the former placed in prison for the murder of the latter. While the evidence seems to indicate his father's guilt, Barry makes proving his father's innocence a priority. After the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator exploded, it caused a giant thundercloud to form and Barry was struck by lightning, falling comatose for nine months. When he woke up from his coma, Barry finds that he can run extremely fast and has matching reflexes. Using these super powers to learn the identity of his mother's killer, Barry becomes the superhero that the public would recognize him as "The Flash" to stop evil Metahumans and other criminals with the aid of S.T.A.R. Labs' remaining staff.

Death Battle Info (Fanon)
Barry's powers are connected to Speed Force, a mysterious energy field that he first accessed when exposure to the dark matter lightning altered his DNA to supercharge his cells with enormous amounts of electricity and likewise augmented his physiology, obtaining a lean-built frame to properly handle his new abilities. This causes Barry to move at speeds, first starting off to move at Mach 2. But as Barry taps into the Speed Force, Barry learns he can move at greater speeds to the point of moving pass the speed of light, and at his full potential, he can enter the speed force. He can vibrate parts of his body to disguise his voice by vocal cord distortion or forcibly expel toxins at a cellular level. In time, Barry learns to manipulate air flow on all levels and create vacuums, harness the electricity created from his speed to create lightning fastballs, and produce afterimages for distraction purposes. The Flash's most notable ability is going back in time, usually 24 hours in the past to avert a tragedy he failed to stop. But with the right tech, the Flash can travel further back in time.
