Bartholomew Allen (Earth-6531)

"Life is locomotion... if you're not moving, you're not living. But there comes a time when you've got to stop running away from things... and you've got to start running towards something, you've got to forge ahead. Keep moving. Even if your path isn't lit... trust that you'll find your way."

He was always fascinated with science, and he admired minds such as Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, and Howard Stark. He implored more than once for his parents to take him to the science expos at S.T.A.R. Labs on the city's center. Barry also enjoyed musicals, and the first he ever saw was Singing in the Rain.
