Powers[]

Speed Force Connection: The Speed Force is the source of all of Barry's powers.
- Superhuman Speed: Flash is capable of moving at tremendous hypersonic speeds, an ability so powerful that his movements are invisible to the naked eye. When visiting his father at Blackgate Penitentiary, Barry drew on a man's face too fast for him to notice. The intensity of his speed allows Flash to deliver superhumanly strong attacks, as well as to run along vertical surfaces, across the surface of water, through solid matter, into other planes of frequency, and even through time.
- Superhuman Agility: Flash can effortlessly navigate while moving at superhuman speed, which allows him to easily manoeuvre in combative circumstances and easily avoid projectile fire.
- Superhuman Reflexes: Flash managed to easily dodge a batarang thrown at him by Bruce Wayne, with it appearing to be moving at him in slow motion, he also managed to dodge most of Superman's blows, only getting hit once.
- Superhuman Stamina: Flash can withstand the stress of moving at tremendous hypersonic speeds for long periods of time, without growing tired or weak.
- Accelerated Perception: Flash can move fast enough to view things as if the world is slowing down.
- Accelerated Healing Factor: Flash has a superhuman metabolism, enabling him rapid physical healing.
- Intangibility: Due to his incredible speed; Flash can phase through solid objects.
- Time Travel: Due to his incredible speed, Flash can run so fast, that he can break open holes in the fabric of the space-time continuum; enabling him to travel back in time and re-visit past events.
- Electrogenesis: When moving at incredible speeds, Flash can generate bolts of blue Speed Force lightning which trail behind him when he runs, and can cause electronic technology nearby to short-circuit, overload or even burst into sparks.
