Barry Allen is the main protagonist of the 2014 TV series The Flash and an overall protagonist of the Arrowverse franchise.

The Flash Arrowverse

Who is he?[]

Barry is a young man who is highly intellectual in forensics and science in general. He has a strong sense of justice and good morals. After gaining superpowers via a connection to the Speed Fofrce, Barry used them to not only help people in need, but also fight other meta-humans who would use their powers for evil intentions. Although tempted at times, he has never used his powers to outright murder anyone and is against resorting to cruel methods such as torture. After creating and undoing the Flashpoint timeline, Barry has learned his lesson not to use his powers to selfishly change the timline for his own benefit and abided by this rule ever since. He has also shown the willingness to sacrifice is own life and freedom for the safety of others, or even the world, such as when he was willing to turn himself over to the Dominators for altering the timeline or going into the Speed Force to prevent a storm storm from destroying Central City. After he was framed by Clifford DeVoe/The Thinker for a crime he didn't commit, Barry turned himself in instead of running and even went so far as to refuse to reveal his identity as The Flash to the public, although this could've exonerated him. As stated by several other characters, one of Barry's most defining traits is that he inspire hope and light, and is willing to see the good in even the villains he face, which has led to the redemption of several enemies such as Leonard Snart, Becky Sharpe, and Orlin Dwyer. Barry is even given the role "Paragon of Love" by The Monitor during the Crisis on Infinite Earths event.

Verdict[]

I believe Barry is good-hearted and selfless enough to qualify as a PG.
