Barry Allen is a forensic scientist and crime scene investigator at The Central City Police Department with a reasonable happy life, despite the childhood trauma of a man in a red and yellow bizarre killing his mother and framing his father for it. All that changes when a massive particle accelerator created by visionary physicist Dr. Harrison Wells and his team at S.T.A.R Labs causes a malfunction creating a freak storm, killing many people and Barry being struck by lightning in his lab. He wakes up after a coma nine months later. He and his new friends at S.T.A.R Labs discover that he has superhuman speed and can run on both land and water. He can move, think and react at light speeds. He can also vibrate so fast that he can pass through walls, travel through time and lend or borrow speed. He heals more quickly than an average human. Later, he learns that he is but one of the many affected by the incident, most of them who are using their powers for evil. Determined to make a difference, Barry dedicates his life to fighting such threats as The Flash. Actors seem to be struggling with continually bad writing. Contrived plot twists, overly convenient plot devices, stunted and uncomfortable dialog. Actors are not great.<br/><br/>Seems like the studio assigned the C team to this one. Actually manages to make The Arrow look decent and that shows is really not good at all. Of the DC shows, maybe only Legends is worse. Not sure why all of the DC based shows are so bad. Season 1 and 2 have great story and excellent humor. Season 3 was a poor attempt to be like arrow. Season 4 was a great season but unfortunately due to take deaths ruins some of the storyline. No. Flash and Arrow are not part of the same universe as Man of Steel and "Batman v Superman". In the movie universe, the Flash will be played by actor Ezra Miller. Tony Todd For the first crossover you do not. Each episode tells a largely self contained story, with characters from each show simply traveling to the other one's city to fight a villain. <br/><br/>In the season two crossover that begins with the Flash episode "Legends of Today" you probably should watch the Arrow episode "Legends of Yesterday" as the two episodes tell one story. If you don't watch "Legends of Yesterday" then you won't know how the story from "Legends of Today" ends. These two episodes also lead into the spinoff series "Legends of Tomorrow". Every season, there will be a meta-human villain, but here are the main ones:<br/><br/>Season One: Harrison Wells(Actually Eobard Thawne aka the Reverse Flash)<br/><br/>Season Two: Zoom<br/><br/>Season Three: Alchemy, Grodd, and Savitar<br/><br/>Season Four: The Thinker (so far) There is no exact speed but as every episode premieres, Barry gets faster and faster and eventually cantravel through time.<br/><br/>In the episode 'Tricksters'Barry / The Flash is forced to run over 600mph otherwise a bomb attached to his wrist by The Tricksters will explode. Barry removes the bomb via Harrison Wells' request , vibrating through a wall and leaving the bomb on the other side. <br/><br/>In addition, in the episode 'Fast Enough'Barry / The Flash makes the decision to travel back in time by creating a wormhole to the past by running at super speeds. Dr. Martin Stein adds that he will need to be running at Mach 2 to be successful, any slower will result in his death. He then runs this speed and is successful in traveling back in time. Mach 2 is about equal to 680.58 m/s or 1,522.41 mph.
