Central City (Earth-Prime)

"Central City Strong!"

- Slogan

Central City is a city in Missouri and the home of The Flash.

Birth of The Flash
On December 11, 2013, the S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator exploded and created Meta-Humans. Ninth months later, Barry Allen woke up from a coma after being hit by lightning during the explosion. He then discovered his superhuman speed and became the local vigilante, The Flash.

Metapocalypse
In 2016, Zoom, Meta-Human created by The Singularity a year prior, led his army into the city and invaded. The invasion was later averted by The Flash and his team of vigilantes.

Dominator Invasion
In late 2016, the city was again invaded. However, the invaders were aliens and was later defeated by the heroes of Earth: The Flash, Green Arrow of Star City, Supergirl of National City and the Legends of Tomorrow.

Speed Force Storm
In mid-2017, a Speed Force storm occurred and brought The Flash away. During his return, a high amount of Dark Matter flooded onto a bus and transformed its passengers into Meta-Humans, including Ralph Dibny, later known as the Elongated Man.

Nazi Invasion
During Barry and Iris West-Allen's wedding, a group of time travelling Nazi clones attacked the heroes and invaded the city. Similar to the Dominator Invasion, they were defeated by the same group of heroes.

King Shark vs. Gorilla Grodd
In 2019, King Shark fought against Grodd on the streets.

Reign of Terror
Days prior to the Crisis, Bloodwork and his Blood Brothers infected countless people with Dark Matter-infused blood, controlling them like Zombies. The Flash was among those infected and was restored by his team, which was able to do the same on the residents. The Flash then defeated Bloodwork, sending him to A.R.G.U.S. custody.

Crisis on Infinite Earths
During the crisis, Central City was attacked by Shadow Demons along with Star City.

Mirror Monarch's Invasion
In May 2020, Mirror Monarch attacked the city and kidnapped dozens of people while replacing them with Reflections. With The Flash, Frost and Vibe back on the field, the invasion was prevented and Mirror Monarch released the innocent people back to their homes.
