Well, even if it was for a few years, if Ralph never discovered that he could disguise himself with his powers, DeVoe would have achieved his plan and won while Barry was just sitting around in prison. And why doesn't he use Flashtime more often? The power to stop time and lend other people your speed is probably the most broken power ever. It should be really easy to apprehend criminals when they are frozen in time. If he used it in this week's episode, Vanessa wouldn't be able to throw that many blocks before Barry gets his handcuffs on her. In fact, he could put the power dampening cuffs on her before she even gets a chance to use her powers.
