Henry Allen

"Way to go, slugger! Oh and no more fighting."

- Henry to Barry Allen

Dr. Henry Allen is the father of Barry Allen and the husband of the late Nora Allen.

Biography
When his son, Barry, was 11 years old, a tornado-like blur came in to their home, and in the middle of the tornado seemed to be a figure. Henry held Barry back, and before either of them could do a thing, the blur murdered Henry's wife and swept Barry 20 blocks away from his home. Following Nora's death, her murder was pinned on Henry and he was sent to jail in Iron Heights Penitentiary.

Incarceration in Iron Heights
In late 2014, Henry was still incarcerated in Iron Heights. He had Barry come to visit him, and despite him previously having told to change his name out of embarrassment, Barry stated that he was incredibly glad that he didn't, as he was more than proud to be Henry's son.

Trivia

 * In the DC comics, Henry was framed by Professor Zoom for his wife, Nora's, murder, after Professor Zoom killed her. Additionally, Henry died in prison by the time Barry had proved his father's innocence.
