Draft a based on this theory for a blog or video.
In several comic runs (notably Secret Origins ), it is implied that when Barry died during Crisis on Infinite Earths , he turned into pure energy.
Barry did not just receive the Speed Force; he generated it through his own existence and sacrifice. 🏃 The Engine of the Multiverse
Without Barry, the Speed Force would eventually dissipate, meaning he is the "Gold Standard" of speed.
If Barry is his own creator, it changes how we view his "villains" and his "tragedies."
