Flash (Barry Allen)
The Flash is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Barry Allen is the second and most recognized character known as the Flash. The character first appeared in ''Showcase'' #4 (October 1956), created by writer Robert Kanigher and penciler Carmine Infantino. His name combines talk show hosts Barry Gray and Steve Allen.
His death in 1985 in ''Crisis on Infinite Earths'' removed the character from the regular DC lineup for 23 years. His return to regular comics occurred subsequently in 2008 within the pages of Grant Morrison's ''Final Crisis'' and Geoff Johns' ''The Flash: Rebirth'' limited series. In 2011, Allen played a key role of the crossover mini-series ''Flashpoint,'' which resulted in another reboot of the DC Comics continuity, known as "The New 52". Allen has appeared in various adaptations in other media, most notably in a live action television series based on the character portrayed by actor Grant Gustin.
==Fictional character biography==
Born on the 8th of October, to Henry and Nora Allen, Barry Allen is a police scientist (his job title was changed to a forensic scientist in ''The Flash: Iron Heights'' one-shot) with a reputation for being very slow, and frequently late, which frustrates his fiancee, Iris West. One night, as he is preparing to leave work, a lightning bolt shatters a case full of chemicals and spills all over Allen. As a result, Allen finds that he can run extremely fast and has matching reflexes. He dons a set of red tights sporting a lightning bolt (reminiscent of the original Fawcett Comics Captain Marvel), dubs himself the Flash (after his childhood comic book hero, Jay Garrick), and becomes Central City's resident costumed crimefighter.〔 Central City University professor Ira West (Iris' adoptive father) designed Allen's costume and the ring which stores it while Allen is in his civilian identity. The ring can eject the compressed clothing when Allen needs it and suck it back in with the aid of a special gas that shrinks the suit. In addition, Allen invented the cosmic treadmill, a device that allowed for precise time travel and was used in many stories. Allen was so well liked that nearly all speedsters that come after him are often compared to him. Batman once said "Barry is the kind of man that I would've hoped to become if my parents hadn't been murdered."〔''Justice'' #8 (Dec. 2006)〕
