- "Everything they've stolen, the Roemer accelerator battery, the sonic gauntlets, now a temporal scanner? They're all components you'd need to build a Cosmic Treadmill.
Do I want to know what that is?
It's a machine that uses kinetic energy to open quantum wormholes in space and time, which is a lot of power in the wrong hands" - —Barry Allen to Kristen Kramer[src]
The Cosmic Treadmill[1][2] is a special type of treadmill that; was designed and invented; by Cisco Ramon at S.T.A.R. Labs; to withstand Barry Allen's superhuman speed.
History[]
When Barry Allen became the Flash, he used the treadmill to train. Eventually, it was placed in the Starchives.[3]
In 2022, Meena Dhawan ran on the treadmill at Fast Track Labs after gaining speedster abilities. She was watched by Eobard Thawne and Chester P. Runk while the Flash monitored her heart rate. The Flash then noticed Meena's pulse rate spiking and advised her to take it easy, but she refused, believing that she could reach a speed of Mach 2. She was then hurtled backwards and crashed into equipment behind her.[4]
In February 2023 Red Death and her team collected several pieces of equipment from around Central City to make a cosmic treadmill.[5]
Possible future[]
Godspeed using the Cosmic Treadmill.
At some point before 2049, the treadmill was put on display in the Flash Museum. In 2049, it was used by Godspeed to travel back in time to 2021.[1]
