Barry Allen

The Flash
Barry Allen was once a police scientist, on the verge of being fired due to being late to work every day, Allen met Iris West, who became his girlfriend.

One night, as Barry was leaving work, a lightning bolt struck a group of chemicals beside him. The chemicals mixed together, and having a strange effect on each other, exploded! Barry Allen became soaked in the liquid.

Later, Barry discovered  that he had gained super-speed, he could run at an almost light-speed easily, and with effort he could run beyond light-speed and so fast he could phase through objects without damaging them!

Barry also found out that when he snaps his fingers, he can make lightning from the sky zap his enemies!

Barry gained a costume and named himself The Flash: The Scarlet Speedster!
