Labs. He becomes the protector of Central City, using his speed to fight crime and stop metahuman threats. His signature costume is a red suit with gold lightning bolt accents, evolving over the series.

1. Super Speed • Barry can move at incredible velocities, phase through objects, time travel, and heal rapidly. His speed is powered by the Speed Force.

2. Intelligence • As a forensic scientist, Barry is highly analytical and skilled in crime scene investigations.

3. Determined and Heroic • Despite immense challenges, Barry remains committed to saving lives and protecting his loved ones.

4. Compassionate and Emotional • He deeply cares for his family and friends, often struggling with the weight of his responsibilities.

5. Optimistic and Hopeful • Even in dark times, Barry tries to see the good in people and inspires hope in others.

6. Team Leader • He leads Team Flash, working alongside allies like Cisco Ramon, Caitlin Snow, Iris West, and others.

7. Time Traveler • Throughout the series, Barry’s ability to time travel plays a major role, leading to consequences such as Flashpoint.

8. Evolving Powers • Over time, he learns new speed-based abilities, like creating lightning projectiles, entering the Speed Force, and manipulating time.

After Flashpoint, Barry Allen undergoes significant emotional and psychological changes. Here’s a breakdown of his emotions and personality shifts following this event:

1. Guilt & Regret

Barry’s defining emotion after Flashpoint is guilt. He initially created Flashpoint out of grief for his mother, enjoying a brief period of happiness. However, once he realizes the severe consequences, Wally being the Flash, Joe and Iris being estranged, and Cisco’s brother being dead, he is forced to undo his actions. Even after restoring the timeline, things don’t return to normal (e.g., Caitlin develops Killer Frost powers, Julian is now part of his life, and Diggle’s daughter is erased from existence).

Barry constantly blames himself for these changes, carrying a deep sense of regret. This guilt makes him hesitant at times, afraid that every choice he makes will have unintended consequences.

2. Responsibility & Burden

Barry realizes that his powers don’t just affect him, they affect everyone around him. The emotional weight of Flashpoint forces him to mature, and he begins to understand that he cannot use time travel selfishly. This leads to a more cautious and burdened Barry, as he feels responsible for fixing the damage he caused.

3. Self-Doubt & Struggles with Leadership

Before Flashpoint, Barry was more hopeful and optimistic, but afterward, he becomes more hesitant. He second-guesses himself and sometimes pushes his team away, believing that their suffering is his fault. His relationships, especially with Cisco, are strained because of the timeline changes. It takes time for him to regain the trust of his friends and rebuild his confidence as a leader.

4. Growth & Acceptance

Over time, Barry accepts his mistakes and focuses on moving forward instead of dwelling on the past. While Flashpoint leaves scars, he learns to trust his team more, recognizing that he doesn’t have to carry the burden alone. His experiences after Flashpoint make him a more responsible hero, reinforcing that he must be careful when wielding the power of time.
