So Mark Waid revealed that Don and Dawn weren’t Barry’s descendants, they were straight up his and Iris’s kids. Of course, just before the Crisis, we learned that Iris Allen was living in the 30th century and apparently stayed there after Barry’s death. Thus, moments before his death, Barry Allen had unintentionally used time travel and paradox to ensure that he already had a trained apprentice ready to take his place. When Barry was running his final race and shifting into a being of Speed Force energy, time and space had been warping around him and he inadvertently sent forth some of his own energy into the past, which became the lightning bolt that created Kid Flash. Later still, Marv Wolfman wrote a novelization of Crisis on Infinite Earths that explained that Barry himself had caused Wally’s identical accident. Mark Waid indicated that sometimes the Speed Force just reached out to people. This was also used to finally explain just how the hell Wally West had suffered the same one-in-a-million lab accident that had given Barry his own speed powers. Although this special effect was originally intended only for Wally, artists started adding it to all the speedsters whenever they ran and even gave it to Barry in flashback stories. As a result, he now trailed actual lightning bolts in his wake when he ran. This was explored in the story Terminal Velocity. And one episode gave us a strange, blue-suited Barry clone who basically acted as the show’s version of the Reverse-Flash.Īfter the events of the 1994 crossover Zero Hour, Wally got a more direct connection to the Speed Force than any other speedster. Mark Hamill even showed up as the costumed villain Trickster in two episodes. A much sharper design than just a single lightning bolt across.Īs the show went on, it stopped taking itself quite as seriously and it certainly had its fanbase. Not sure about the cowl covering the nose, though. I don’t mind the lack of large yellow boots.

But it ain’t a bad reason and although I was sad that the costume ring wasn’t used, it was rather cool to see how closely the TV show stayed to the comic book design.

Motivated initially by revenge, Barry added a mask and some lightning bolts to the pressure suit and became the Flash. So we were given grounded reasons why Barry would wear his costume, since live-action media often feels the need to do this even though we’re aware the movie features a superhero. Other changes in the show included that Barry now had an older brother named Jay, a cop who was murdered by his old partner who was now a gang leader.
