After a particle accelerator triggers an unusual storm, CSI Investigator Barry Allen is hit by lightning and slips into a coma. When he wakes up months later, he finds he has gained the extraordinary ability of super speed, allowing him to zip through Central City like an invisible guardian angel. Initially thrilled with his new abilities, Barry is taken aback to learn that he is not the only “meta-human” created as a result of the accelerator explosion—and not everyone is using their powers for good. Teaming up with S.T.A.R. Labs, Barry commits himself to safeguarding the innocent. At present, only a handful of close friends and colleagues are aware that Barry is, quite literally, the fastest man alive, but it won’t be long before the world discovers what Barry Allen has become…The Flash.
