That's just Jay, who is currently stuck in the Speed Force sooooooo Jay and the 1990's Flash are different characters. John Wesley Shipp stated that Jay is his Barry Allen 25 years later. Does John Wesley Shipp write the Flash episodes? Actually 1990's Flash exists on an unnamed Earth, which Barry glimpsed through the Speed Force. Jay is an alternate version of Henry Allen, while 1990s Barry is an alternate version of Barry. It makes more sense for the 90's Flash to be a version of Henry that was named Barry, than for him to be a version of Barry that looks like Henry. Also the 90's Barry had a brother named Jay. Maybe he took his brother's first name and his mother's maiden name of Garrick and put them together to make a new name to conceal his identity. Thus: Jay Garrick That doesn't make any sense. Earth-3 Flash has a completely different continuity to 1990s Flash. There's nothing to indicate his name used to be Barry. His lack of any reaction of finding out our Barry's name suggests he's never heard it before. There's nothing to suggest that either way. And it's another Earth. He wouldn't have been the only person in the Multiverse named Barry. John Wesley Shipp played them both and said they're the same character, and there's nothing to contradict that or support it. I find it very intruiging and fun to think about, especially from a story perspective. When did he say that? Where's the source? http://nerdreactor.com/2016/10/03/john-wesley-shipps-jay-garrick-based-on-90s-flash/ He wasn't saying Jay is the same person as 1990s Barry at all. He just meant their characters were counterparts or equivalents of each other, not literally 1990s Flash grew up and became Earth-3 Jay Garrick.
