When Central City CSI investigator Barry Allen is struck by lightning in a freak particle accel-erator accident, he awakens after nine months in a coma to discover something extraordinary: he has gained the power to travel at speeds far beyond that of a normal person, transforming him into the Fastest Man Alive. Taking a cue from his friend and ally — the Starling City hero known as Arrow — Barry now uses his superhuman abilities to help protect the people of Central City from a rogues gallery of villains – many from across the DC Universe. And this fall, he’s racing onto television screens across the nation in the all-new television series The Flash!
