The Flash is a legacy name belonging to several vigilante superheroes who function as a conduit for the Speed Force, granting them superhuman speed and other related abilities.

The first was Jay Garrick, a government agent exposed to radiation from the hyperdrive of a crashed alien spacecraft, who served as a superhero with the Justice Society of America during the Cold War. The second is Barry Allen, formerly a forensic scientist with the Central City Police Department, who was struck by lightning and exposed to unknown chemicals during a dark matter storm and now serves as a special agent with the Department of Extranormal Operations.

It may also refer to Wally West, the sidekick of Barry Allen known as Kid Flash, currently active as a vigilante in Gotham and who succeeds his mentor in a possible future; or to Bart Allen, Barry Allen's grandson from that same future, who currently operates on behalf of present-day A.R.G.U.S. under the codename Impulse. It could also refer to Jesse Garrick, the daughter of Jay Garrick and an unrealised speedster, known by the nickname Jesse Quick.
