As a child, Barry witnessed the murder of his mother and his father's imprisonment over the crime. Growing up without his parents, Barry grew up to study forensics and criminology in order solve the suspicious crime.

Years later, Barry was struck by lightning and gained a connection to the Speed Force, becoming the speedster vigilante of Central City with a red protective suit. Soon afterwards, Barry was discovered by the U.S. government and recorded on the A.R.G.U.S. Metahuman list.

Crisis on Infinite Earths
During the Crisis, Barry was present in the Speed Force and was not aware of the event. Later, his Earth-1 doppelgänger met him and Barry thought he was a cosplayer. Barry of Earth-1 told him that they are both the Flash, an alias he has not yet used on his universe. They both were impressed by each other's suit and introduced themselves as Barry Allen. Barry of Earth-1 claimed that this is not possible now which confused Barry as he was not aware of the Crisis. Barry slowly faded away saying he told Victor it was possible.
