Making his first appearance in the pages of Flash Comics in 1940, the Flash was a light-hearted superhero who could run, move, and think at incredible speeds and even pluck bullets out of the air. One of DC Comics’ best-selling titles during the Golden Age of comic books, the speedster hero played a major role in establishing the brand and driving it forward. Sporting several “secret identities” across the years, the character’s most famous version is the Barry Allen Flash, now featured on the 2022 1/4 oz Proof Niue Gold Classic Superhero Flash Coin.

The Flash has been a famous character across the ups and downs of the history of comic books and their associated media, and has seen multiple reinventions. The first came in 1956 as what would be called the Silver Age of comics began: his secret identity was the lonely forensic scientist Barry Allen, who acquired a connection to a mystical energy called the Speed Force when he was struck by lightning. Also known as the Fastest Man Alive, this version of the character would be one of the best-known and most often-revived over subsequent decades.
