There are few names in the history of superheroes and mystery men that gathers such recognition and prestige as that of the Flash. Of the three men to have born that name to date it is the second, Barry Allen that is perhaps the greatest of them all. Transformed into a being of superspeed by a bolt of lightning echoing back from the future, police scientist Allen created the Flash persona in homage of the golden age Flash, Jay Garrick.

Allen was a corner stone of the superhuman community. A founding member of the Justice League, he helped launch the careers of Wally West (as Kid Flash), Ralph Dibny (Elongated Man) and was instrumental in the first public appearance of Aquaman. He was the paragon of virtue and a real gentleman, even the villains that he faced recognised this and his Rogues Gallery was testament to more innocent times.

From his brief time in the thirtieth century Barry Allen has the progenitor of an entire line of super speedsters including his grandchildren Bart Allen II (Impulse ) and Jenni Ognats (XS of the Legion of Superheroes). Ultimately Barry gave his life to stop the plans of the Anti-Monitor on the planet Qward.
