bullet::::- barry allen was the flash in the 1990s "flash" live-action tv series, although this character incorporated elements of wally west's social life, as well as previously non-existent characters such as a brother and nephew. he was played by john wesley shipp. this version of the flash reaches maximum speed upon breaking the sound barrier, at which point he has to stop to rest. cbs originally wanted to cast jack coleman, who declined the role to pursue a career in broadway. as a police forensic scientist, barry was working in the crime lab at the central city police department headquarters when a lightning bolt struck his lab, dousing him in a combination of electricity and chemicals nearby. he discovered the accident gave him superhuman speed. with the help of s.t.a.r. labs scientist dr. christina mcgee, barry learned how to control his powers with the help of a special prototype deep-sea diving suit. when barry's older brother and police colleague jay allen was murdered by gang leader and jay's former police partner nicholas pike, barry wore a masked version of the suit and called himself the flash. after capturing pike, barry sees his potentials of accomplishing some differences with his powers in a crime-ridden central city, and started helping to bring other criminals to justice and provide hope to people as a masked superhero. later, the earth where this flash lives is designated as earth-90. shipp also recurs as earth-1's barry allen's (portrayed by grant gustin) father, dr. henry allen, and henry's earth-3 equivalent jay garrick/the flash in the 2014 television series. shipp later reprises his role of 1990 television series for the crossover "elseworlds", therefore like garrick, this flash is also henry's doppelgänger.
flash (barry allen)
"the flash" was a live action television series on cbs that starred john wesley shipp and amanda pays. the flash featured in the series was an amalgamation of the silver-age flash, barry allen, and the modern-age wally west. the only resemblance between the tv barry allen flash and the comic book barry allen flash were his name, his profession as a forensic scientist, and his love interest iris west played by paula marshall (who was very short lived as a love interest in the television series). in this version, while working as police detective, barry was working in the crime lab at the central city police department headquarters one night when a lightning bolt struck his lab, dousing him in electricity and nearby chemicals which soon gave him the ability to run at superhuman speeds, just like in the comics.
