Appearance[]
Flash has short blond hair and green eyes. His superhero costume is a full-body suit that is all red, but has two small yellow lightning bolts across the waist and wrists. Like Kid Flash, he also has the yellow lightning bolt logo on his chest and boots. As for normal clothing, he wears an olive green shirt with a red sweater vest and a black tie with khaki pants and black shoes.
Personality[]
Although not much has been revealed about Barry Allen, he has so far demonstrated to be one of the more approachable members of the Justice League. Laid back and witty, he takes every possible moment to talk. He has a habit of being late to important events, which often annoys Kid Flash to no end. He is kindhearted and well-mannered, something Wally's parents wish would rub off on their son as well.
Abilities[]
Barry can move at speeds approaching the speed of light. This speed extends to his speech and perception, enabling him to speak at higher frequencies and see objects at speeds far higher than what the typical human eye could perceive. Likewise, Barry has a degree in forensic science, and works as a CSI for the Central City Police Department. He and the Atom analyzed the Reach's additive, finding microscopic quantities of a dopamine polymerase and an adrenaline inhibitor to gradually pacify Earth's population.
