Wiz: From Wonder Woman to Superman.
There's no shortage of DC superheroes capable of achieving superhuman feats.
But only one is synonymous with speed itself.
Boomstick: The Flash.
Ahhh!
Wiz: But before he became the Flash.
He was only known as Barry Allen.
Boomstick: Like many superheroes.
Barry's lacking in the whole, "living parent" department.
Wiz: One day after returning home he discovered his mother had been murdered.
And his father had been wrongly convicted of the crime.
Boomstick: Knowing dad was innocent.
Barry vowed to clear him of the crime and became...
A forensic scientist for the Central City Police.
Buuut dear old dad died before Barry could set him free.
Wiz: Wracked with grief this only strengthened Barry's resolve to find his mother's real killer.
Boomstick: And on one fateful night.
While he was doing some...
Sciency stuff, a rack of chemicals fell on him.
And then he got struck by lightning!
Wiz: Now normally this would be incredibly fatal.
But since this is comic books.
Allen was imbued with the power to move his body at incredible speeds and became the Flash!
Boomstick: Ahh!
You're probably thinking "Ok cool, now he's fast enough to run on water now."
But there's a whole slew of other benefits that come with this new power!
Like accelerated healing.
Enhanced strength.
The ability to absorb kinetic energy from others.
A brain that works faster than a supercomputer.
And the ability to throw lightning.
Wiz: To do any of this.
Flash draws his power from the Speed Force.
An extra dimensional energy which.
When synced with a living being's bio-electric field.
Amplifies and destores their perception and placement in individual time.
Versus time outside their own field.
Boomstick: What?
