Synopsis
After witnessing his mother's murder, and his father wrongly accused, Barry Allen is taken in by Detective Joe West because daughter Iris West is Barry's childhood best friend. Becoming a forensic scientist, Allen tries to uncover the truth about his mother's murder, which leads him to Harrison Wells' particle accelerator. When the accelerator causes an explosion, Allen is struck by lightning, and enters a coma. When he wakes up, he learns he has the ability to move at superhuman speeds, though he is not the only meta-human created in the wake of the explosion. After a few episodes, he's officially dubbed "The Flash," and he, along with the help of wife Iris, father-in-law Joe, and Team Flash — Cisco Ramon, Caitlin Snow/Killer Frost, Harrison Wells, Chester P. Runk, Allegra Garcia — work to protect Central City.
Based on one of the most popular characters from DC Comics, the TV adaptation of “The Flash” was originally developed by Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, and Geoff Johns. The series is now showrun by Eric Wallace and airs Tuesday evenings on The CW.
In season 7, The Flash and Iris defeated Mirror Mistress. In the process of doing so rebirthed a new Speed Force and three new entities — Still Force, Sage Force, and Strength Force — they had to contend with. In addition, the second half of season 7 saw Bart and Nora West-Allen, Barry and Iris' children from the future, time travel in a bid to stop Godspeed and his clones from destroying Central City.
