Respect The Flash, DC Extended Universe
Biography
Intro:
Barry Allen, who's father was wrongfully imprisoned for the alleged murder of his mother (which Reverse Flash was responsible for, for those of you who don't know Flash lore) and was sentenced to life in prison. Barry grew up as an orphan, obsessed over ensuring his father gets the rightful justice he deserves and hence, he decided to explore criminology as a career path.
Aside from his personal life, Barry is the world's fastest man, granted speed powers and a connection to the "speed force" by a radioactive bolt of lightning, Barry took on crime fighting, and the alias of The Flash, donning a metallic red suit made with materials used on space shuttles. When approached by Bruce Wayne in an attempt to enlist him to the Justice League, Barry joined without hesitation, due to the lack of socialization in his life as well as the relative unimportance (in scale) of the work he did as The Flash. Barry went on to become arguably the most important member of the Justice League (in Snyder continuity) in taking down Steppenwolf. His most notable contribution being his reversal of time, when Steppenwolf's plan succeeds, and Earth is terraformed, giving the Justice League a much needed second chance at victory.
Notes:
Just gonna point out that feats that are also in the Theatrical Cut of Justice League won't be in the Snyder Cut section, as there's no point in this.
