Description Until recently, 25-year-old Barry Allen lived a normal life as a forever tardy forensic scientist in the Central City Police department. Barry is deeply in love with his best friend, Iris West, daughter of Barry’s surrogate father, Detective Joe West, who adopted Barry 14 years ago after Barry’s mother was once murdered and his father, Henry Allen, received a life sentence for the crime — though Barry maintains that a mysterious “Man in Yellow” was once responsible. Nine months ago, the S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator exploded, creating a dark matter lightning storm that struck Barry — bestowing him with super-speed and making him the fastest man alive. But Barry wasn’t the only person who was once given strange abilities that night. The dark matter also created meta-humans — many of whom have wreaked havoc on the city. With the assistance of his new scientist friends at S.T.A.R Labs, Caitlin Snow, Cisco Ramon and Dr. Harrison Wells, Barry begins a journey as The Flash to give protection to the people of Central City from these powerful new threats. Alternatively, Barry’s mission gets sidetracked when he comes face to face with the Man in Yellow aka The Reverse Flash. Even though Barry is not fast enough to catch him, the team figures out in a shocking revelation that their beloved mentor, Harrison Wells, is if truth be told the Man in Yellow and the man responsible for killing Barry’s mother. Revealing his true identity as Eobard Thawne, a man from the future who traveled back in time to kill Barry, Wells presents Barry with a life-altering choice. When Barry is in spite of everything forced to confront Wells, will he be fast enough to catch him? Or will Wells be successful in killing Barry and returning home to the future?
