Biography:

Barry and his twin brother were born in Fallville, Iowa to Henry and Nora Allen. His brother was pronounced stillborn but in reality the drunk doctor had given his twin to another family in the hospital because he wanted to be fair after being unable to save their son. Barry grew up not knowing about his twin. When he was ten years old tragedy struck. It was a night like any other. They had just finished eating dinner and Barry was about to go to bed when he witnessed the death of his father. As a young boy he couldn't even explain what had happened in his living room. No one would even believe him anyway. His father was a respected doctor in the community and with a lack of evidence otherwise they arrested Barry's mother for the crime.

After that day Barry made it his personal mission to find his father's murderer and free his mom. Everything he did after that were steps towards that goal. He was soon placed in a foster home in Central City and lived there until College. He went to Sun City University after receiving a full scholarship and graduated summa cum laude in three years with a Bachelors in Organic Chemistry and minor in Criminology. He then returned to Central City where he began working with the CCPD as a Forensic Scientist.

He found his niche and he believed working with the police department would help him find his father's true killer. He moved into an apartment with a lab in the back and one day during an electrical storm he decided to continue working on an experiment and a lightning bolt struck through the window and shattered a chemical cabinet and the electrified chemicals spilled all over Barry. He then fell and hit his head and was knocked out for a short period. He then woke up and cleaned himself and found himself moving at speeds much faster than normal. He didn't understand what was going on at first but then he realized he had become something extraordinary. He decided to use his powers for good and named himself after his childhood comic hero The Flash.
