Bartholomew 'Barry' Henry Allen

Bartholomew Henry "Barry" Allen, born: March 14, 1989. Barry is a scientist in the Criminal and Forensic Science Division of the Central City Police Department. He is the son of the late Henry and Nora Allen, the close friend of iris west,Cisco Ramon, Caitlin Snow, Harry Wells, the late H.R. Wells, Ralph Dibny, Allegra Garcia, Chester P. Runk, Cecile Horton, Oliver Queen, Felicity Smoak, John Diggle and Kara Danvers, and the archenemy of Eobard Thawne (commonly known as the Reverse-Flash).

Barry's mother Nora Allen was murdered when he was 11 years old on March 18, 2000, and the blame was wrongfully placed on his father Henry Allen. He was taken in by Joe West and ended up staying with him and his daughter, Iris West. Barry dedicated the rest of his life to proving his father's innocence. After meeting Oliver Queen in Starling City and the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator exploded, causing a giant thundercloud to form above Central City, Barry was struck by lightning from a cloud at his CCPD lab, falling into a coma for nine months. When he woke up from his coma inside S.T.A.R. Labs, Barry discovered that he had developed superhuman speed and various other abilities derived from it. Initially referred to by the media (including being reported on by Iris) as the Red Streak, the Streak and the Blur, stylized as the "Scarlet Speedster", he began using his powers as a meta-human superhero to protect Central City. Barry spent the next several months fighting crime, taking down numerous meta-human villains and other criminal elements, assisted by Team Flash at S.T.A.R. Labs. All the while, he worked with Joe to get Henry out of prison and with Harrison Wells to get faster and develop his abilities. Barry later found out that the latter was the evil speedster Eobard Thawne from the future, having stolen Wells' identity, and the man who murdered his mother. In a final confrontation between the two, Eobard gave Barry the chance to undo what he did in exchange for assistance in returning to his time. Barry decided against doing this, which ultimately led to Eobard's ancestor Eddie killing himself to erase Eobard from existence; but his unstable wormhole inflated into a massive singularity that grew out of S.T.A.R. Labs and consumed half of Central City (Earth-1), only closed by the sacrifice of Ronnie Raymond as half of Firestorm.

Several months later, Barry finally saw his dad become a free man using a video will left by Eobard disguised as Harrison. It was also at this time Barry came under attack by meta-humans from Earth-2 led by Zoom, another evil speedster who needed Barry's speed to prevent himself from dying. Barry is eventually forced to comply to save Wally West, temporarily becoming a normal human again until Team Flash worked to get him his speed back, though he was disintegrated during the second particle accelerator and met the Speed Force face to face. Barry soon after defeated Zoom when racing on the Magnetar, but not before his father Henry Allen is murdered in front of him at home. This sends Barry into a depression, and, not thinking clearly, goes back in time to save his mother Nora Allen at the home, creating another timeline during the Flashpoint (event).

After Barry undid Flashpoint, a causal loop was created with a possible future of Iris dying in front of Barry. A time remnant of Barry from this future was created, and after being shunned for not being the "real" Barry he became a powerful, mythical, armored speedster, known as Savitar. After his transformation into Savitar, he sought to ensure his existence by murdering Iris in order to drive his younger self into the circumstances that led to his creation. When battling his younger self he referred to himself as the Future Flash. He was later erased from existence after he failed to recreate the circumstances of his own creation. However, this victory was short-lived; Barry was forced to enter and remain in the Speed Force indefinitely to save the world.

Barry was eventually freed thanks to the efforts of Team Flash, though in the process accidentally created more meta-humans. The self-described Fastest Man Alive was forced to take on the Fastest Mind Alive, Clifford DeVoe, who wished to revert humanity to a time before technology. It

Barry is described as someone who complements Felicity Smoak's intellect level, both when it comes to forensics, as she claims it's not her strong suit and science in general. He is also someone who is regularly late as he missed a train and cab all to get to Queen Consolidated's warehouse and missed the last train back to Central City. He is also considered a comic geek.

Much like Oliver Queen, Barry has a strong sense of justice; due to the fact that he knows that his father, Henry Allen is innocent of a crime that he was convicted of, he joins the forensics department to both learn how to investigate crimes and study cases with unexplained elements, to prove his personal account of his mother, Nora Allen's murder true and ultimately, free his father. Barry is very intelligent, like Felicity, he is socially awkward; as he sometimes gets nervous and babbles.

Barry has good morals; for example, he does not like to lie about who he really is, like when he first met, Oliver, Felicity and Quentin Lance, as he told them that he was a forensic scientist, this was only because he knew they wouldn't take him very seriously if they knew that he was only an assistant forensic scientist (at the time) when Oliver confronted him, after he found out who Barry really is, he did not try to deny it, but explained the reason why he did it.

Barry has a lot of respect for the vigilante known as the Arrow, when he found out that Oliver/the Arrow are one-and-the same, he is amazed, he also saved his life after he was injured by Cyrus Gold and consequently poisoned, despite the fact that he barely knew Oliver at the time, he also keeps his secret. Despite Barry's respect for Oliver, he is also not above standing up to him, like when he pointed out that Oliver was being a jerk to Felicity, although he said this in a respectable way.

Additionally, as said several times by Joe West and seen many times throughout Barry's life, once he makes up his mind about something, makes a decision or sets his mind to something, it is impossible for anyone to talk him out of it; such as Joe, Iris West and even his father, Henry.

When Barry first discovered his new-found super powers, he wanted to help other individuals, like when he first tried to stop Clyde Mardon, but someone unintentionally got killed because of his actions and he had lost his confidence, however, after getting advice from Oliver Queen, he regained his confidence, as his skills as a superhero improves, Barry becomes more confident.

Barry's sense of justice has gotten stronger; to the point of using his new-found super powers not only to help other individuals, but to also fight other meta-humans who would use their new-found super powers for evil intentions; such as the meta-human who murdered his mother, Nora Allen.

Barry is very stubborn and (apparently) isn't likely to learn from his mistakes; until experiencing there consequences first hand, as seen during his training with Oliver, this prompted Oliver to show Barry a potential consequence of not surveying his surroundings before charging at an enemy by shooting him with two remote-controlled crossbows. However, despite his stubbornness, Barry is still capable of learning from his mistakes, even if he does not experience there consequences first hand.

Despite Barry's dislike of crime and meta-humans who use their super-powers for evil intentions, killing and torturing his enemies is a line that he would never cross, as he criticized Oliver for torturing Klaus Markos to gain the location of Digger Harkness. Barry even stated that he does not use his bad experiences as an excuse to torture other individuals in general who makes him angry.

Barry is selfless and honorable; for example, when he found out that his good friend, Eddie Thawne was going to ask Iris West to marry him, Barry did not try to stop this engagement. Also, he pushed Patty Spivot away; because he didn't want her to sacrifice her dream of being in CSI for him.

However, after Eddie sacrificed himself so that his descendant Eobard would have never been born and Ronnie Raymond had done the same so that Central City could be saved, Barry's personality became slightly darker; as he became more reclusive, distant and cold to his friends, as he broke up Team Flash and went the "lone wolf", he also began to doubt himself as a superhero as he couldn't even saved Eddie and Ronnie, and considered not going to Central City's Flash Day, but after being motivated by Iris, he decided to go and reunite Team Flash. Even with this, he still remains somewhat guarded, especially after being brutally beaten by Zoom, he became even more so, even in his love life, as seen with Patty; to point that he let her go for her own safety and happiness.

Barry has became less trustful of other individuals, when Hunter Zolomon (posing as "Jay Garrick") claimed that Earth-1 was in danger by another speedster called Zoom, Barry did not believe it, even though most of his friends did, but this was mostly; due to the fact that Jay reminded him of Eobard Thawne, he eventually overcame his suspicions and allowed Jay to train him to defeat Sand Demon, however, Barry's suspicions of "Jay" ultimately turned out to be correct; as he was later revealed to be the supervillain known as "Zoom".

Barry began to have less concern for his enemies' well-being as he lured Atom Smasher into a chamber that gave him an overload of nuclear energy, which killed him, and solidified Sand Demon which again kills him, however, Barry didn't expect that it would kill them, his killing of Atom Smasher was; due to his strong belief that he would harm others, but he did apologize to Atom Smasher before he died as he felt guilt, shame and remorse, while he felt none for Sand Demon's death; this was because the latter was a homicidal maniac who did not try to avoid the death of innocents. Finally, he was willing to kill a reanimated and mindless Tony Woodward, but felt it as a mercy killing and said that despite them being enemies, he still wanted Tony to be at rest, while Tony was also already dead to begin with and his corpse was simply reanimated, meaning that he was not actually killing him.

However, when faced with the notion of having to kill Solovar in an effort to prevent them from invading Earth-1, Caitlin Snow asked Barry if he was willing to take a life, meaning that he may have not truly viewed himself as having killed his enemies since he did not kill them directly, he was even tempted to try and kill Grodd due to the threat he constantly posed towards Central City and his allies, while Iris and Harry Wells convinced him to not risk losing his humanity to achieve victory, while fighting Savitar, he threatened to kill him after Wally West was trapped in the Speed Force and even attempted to kill him with a chokehold when he revealed himself as a future version of Barry, he was even tempted to kill himself to stop Savitar's creation, but relented when he was reminded of Eobard Thawne still being in existence despite the suicide of his past relative, Eddie Thawne. When stealing salvaged technology from the Dominators, he was prepared to kill King Shark, who was guarding it, using Leonard Snart's Cold gun; until he was told that there was another way.

Barry is a forgiving individual, as after Eobard was erased from existence, it took him months before he finally forgave the latter for murdering his mother and framing his father for his crime, he stated that no matter how much he hated Eobard, he couldn't bare hating him anymore, however, this hatred was (apparently) rekindled when Eobard's time remnant appeared, enough that Barry came close to beating him to death, Barry showed great outrage and disgust at learning that their antagonistic relationship in the future and Eobard's own hatred of Barry was because Eobard was jealous of the Flash and wanted to become better than him.

This is in almost direct opposition to Barry's normally restrained and merciful attitude towards his enemies, his desire to kill Hunter Zolomon may even be greater, due to how thoroughly Hunter had deceived Barry and his friends, and how Hunter tortured Barry by kidnapping his father and then stabbing him through the chest with a vibrating hand, all the while this death took place in the same room where, approximately 16 years prior, Barry's mother was murdered by Eobard. This replication of his mother's murder with his father profoundly affected Barry, and awakened a need for cold-blooded vengeance in him that he has never felt before, having had the pain of losing both parents in the same way, each to a deranged speedster, compound one another, tearing him apart emotionally.

Because of all the tragedy Barry had suffered and being unable to cope with it, he made a trip back in time, saving his mother, reforming the current timeline, despite him (seemingly) recovering, Barry seemed to be trying to kill the Rival after he impaled Wally West in the back. The only thing stopping him from doing so was his memories fading away.

Once Barry realized how big a mistake he made once seeing Wally injured, he attempted to correct the time, yet was only somewhat successful. When Jay Garrick intervened in his attempts to correct the damaged timeline, he taught Barry that time travel must not be abused, and he must learn to live with his mistakes, instead of always trying to undo them.

Although Barry does have guilt, shame and remorse for his actions, especially if they have unintentionally hurt the individuals he cares about, simultaneously, arguably Barry's greatest fault is his guilt for actions he believes that could have been stopped; due to this, he has tried rectifying his mistakes by time travel, but has actually ended up causing even bigger problems than what he initially sought out to prevent. The most major example being the creation of Flashpoint, which drew in not only Savitar, but the Dominators as well.

Barry's heroic and peaceful nature hid a more complex and powerful set of emotions that he does not fully express but has always harbored on a subconscious level, while as civilian, the Flash or when pushed over the edge by enemies, Barry has been known to act on nearly fourteen years of repressed anger and emotional stress, these emotions were obvious after being exposed to Roy Bivolo, voicing unfounded contempt for others unusual in Barry's usually calm nature and respectful attitude such as snapping at Joe for imprisoning and criminalizing his father, speaking down at David Singh for his constant barking/disrespect and condescendingly voicing jealousy for the Arrow. Barry admits that after being cured that although it was Bivolo's doing, he did mean some of the things he said during his fight with Oliver.

After Barry having sacrificed himself to and then six months later is released from the Speed Force, his personality has changed drastically, although retaining some of his traits; prior to being imprisoned in the Speed Force, he seems to be free from his tragic past as he moved on from his mistakes and parents' deaths, and (seemingly) more happier than ever. While initially suffering from dementia or schizophasia, he seemed to recover from this state after hearing Iris was kidnapped by a Samuroid and later came to her rescue.

Due to Barry's bad experiences with Eobard Thawne and Hunter Zolomon respectively, he is not fooled at all by an individual's ability to appear kind-natured. He suspected that Clifford DeVoe was a meta-human (after the Council of Wells informed him that the latter may be the mastermind behind the bus meta-humans) despite the fact that he did not have a criminal record, his suspicions of Clifford were further amplified when he and his wife, Marlize lied to Barry's superior officer, David Singh, claiming that he was harassing Clifford (when in truth, he was only conducting the necessary investigation) even when every member of Team Flash believed that he was innocent - Barry's suspicions were proven to be correct yet again, regarding Clifford.
