"Yeah, my son goes nuts for it." - ―Barry Allen and Nora Allen[src]

History[]
Early Life[]
Murder of Nora Allen[]
One day when Barry was a kid, his mom forgot to pick up a can of tomatoes while they where going shopping. After his father, Henry, went to the supermarket to get them instead, Barry’s mom was mysteriously stabbed and murdered in his home’s kitchen. Henry was then wrongfully charged and arrested for the murder and sent to Iron Heights Penitentiary. Since then, Barry had been trying to prove his father’s innocence and came close with surveillance footage from the store, which was unfortunately corrupted.[1]
Central City's Hero[]
As an adult, Barry Allen secretly became the Flash, a superhero who primary protects Central City. During this time period, he befriended Bruce Wayne and Arthur Curry, who were also secretly heroes known as Batman and Aquaman.[1]
Henry Allen's Alibi[]
With the discovered surveillance footage of his dad getting the tomatoes, he asked his friend Bruce Wayne to filter out the glitches, in which he'd do. Bruce, using the latest tech from his company, was able to repair enough of the footage for his dad's alibi and sent it back to Allen.[1]
Disappearance[]
Nothing is mentioned about how this Barry Allen vanished, but it was likely in a similar fashion to Earth-1's as Iris West came over to his apartment at one point, and left a note after he had left.[1]

Trivia[]
- Before Earth-1 Barry Allen talks to his mom, another Barry can be seen putting a can of tomatoes in Nora's shopping cart. This Barry may be the Barry Allen/Flash of the Post-Flashpoint Timeline, seeing as how all the time travel before hand has already been done to change into the current timeline. Although, Earth-1 Barry moving the can of tomatoes to the top shelf after this Barry left could also mean this is his past self.
