And while Barry might have a nous for science , it seems like he could apply a helping hand when it follow to the originative side of being a hero . InFlash # 0by Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato , Barry ’s humble beginning as the Scarlet Speedster are research . The classicorigin of the Flashfans know and dearest is explore in the context of the New 52 . With the thoughts of his beginner ’s incarceration over his alleged murdering of Barry ’s female parent on his mind , Allen resolves to become a superhero to crusade for justness and fashions a uniform for his new labor . While attempting to barricade his first robbery , a criminal calls Barry a " red fuzz " , only for the paladin to reveal he ’s actually bid the Flash , though he does let in the name took him a while to derive up with .
Granted , creativity is n’t a requirement for valor , but it ’s not likethe Flash is anextremely hard name to add up up with . In fact , it should have been surprisingly loose for Barry to come up with such a name as he was a sports fan of the Flash of Earth-2 and read his comics as a child . It ’s a scrap left that Barry ’s been able master the science of his powers and the mystery of the Speed Force in record time , but a name evade him for quite some fourth dimension .
Is it possible that Barry ’s distinguish the truth and he torture his learning ability for hours , ineffectual to come up with something better than stealingJay Garrick ’s Flash name ? Or did he give up earlier than he led on and pick the first thing that made sense and call it a day ? Either way , it ’s an inauspicious feeling for the Flash .

He ’s great at cypher out the science of his powers , but not so much at coming up with abettor identity thanFlash .
