The Flash Suits (Earth-1: Pre-Crisis)

The Flash Suits are a series of protective suits created by Cisco Ramon. It was originally created for firefighters to withstand the extreme heat. It was later converted into a protective suit for Barry Allen as The Flash.

Test Run
This suit was designed as a training suit for Barry Allen for the Team Flash to test out Allen's speed at Ferris Air Testing Facility. After Allen crashed and broke the suit, it was stored in the Starchives.

The Streak
This suit is a prototype firefighter uniform designed to withstand the extreme heat. It was converted into The Flash Suit by Cisco Ramon and added an earpiece, lightning bolt designs and an emblem.

Captain Cold
After Allen's first time being a vigilante, Ramon added a better earpiece and inserted a thermal threading after being defeated by Cold Gun's low temperature. Ramon also linked the suit to the system of S.T.A.R. Labs and can monitor the suit while Allen uses it.

Destruction
The suit was later destroyed by Plastique after Allen touched her. After the suit was destroyed, Allen went back to S.T.A.R. Labs half-naked and was questioned by Ramon. Allen told Ramon the truth and Ramon was upset at the destruction. Later, Ramon gave one of the spare suits to Allen, and he claimed he had two more spare suits. Another spare suit was used by Allen again in 2018 when Nora West-Allen returned and his suit was destroyed. However, the spare one was again destroyed when Gridlock sent Allen landed in a pond and tore the suit open.

The Flash is Born
After Wade Eiling shot acid at Allen and Allen had to run it off, the suit was burnt and was unable to be used. Ramon later gave him another spare suit, and he wore it until it was erased out of existence in Flashpoint. After Flashpoint, it was restored when Thawne killed Nora Allen again, resetting the timeline.

A New Emblem
After the team reunited, Ramon redesigned the suit with a new emblem which matches the one shown in the newspaper from 2024. The suit was later designed with Dwarf Star Alloy Alloy to protect Allen, but it can only do it once. After fighting Griffin Grey, the chest piece was abandoned.

Into the Speed Force
After Allen tried to regain his speed, he was sucked into the Speed Force and thus, destroying the suit, leaving the emblem part on the ground.

Red Beautiful
"And underneath all this red beautiful, I've built in self-repairing armor, nano-liquid circuitry, full-spectrum scanning, and a whole bunch of other big words. Chief among them. Your very own custom-made HUD. This thing is loaded with maps, schematics, delivery menus."
