History

Year One: The Flash is Born

The team was formed by Barry Allen after gaining the power of super-speed to fight the metahuman criminals but to also discover the identity of his mother's killer the Reverse-Flash, under the alias "The Flash". The team was initially comprised Barry Allen, Cisco Ramon, Dr. Caitlin Snow, Detective Joe West and Dr. Harrison Wells, with the latter acting as the team's leader. In addition to The Flash, the team also supports the conjoined metahuman vigilante Firestorm, the joined form of Ronnie Raymond and Professor Martin Stein. Eventually, the team reveals their secret to Eddie Thawne in order for him to help keep Iris in the dark about their activities, only for her to discover the truth on her own.

Eventually, it was revealed that Wells himself is Reverse-Flash, but shockingly that his real name is Eobard Thawne, who murdered the real Harrison Wells and took his appearance, a metahuman from the late 22nd century who attempted to kill Barry as a child, but killed Nora instead after being foiled by another Barry a future time. Now stranded in the early 21st century, Eobard had been using Barry in order for him to gain enough speed to achieve time travel, and allow Eobard to return to his time in exchange for Barry going back in time and undoing his mother's murder. Instead of saving his mother, Barry returns to his own time and battle Eobard once again until Eddie commits suicide, erasing Eobard from existence, only to form a singularity that nearly obliterated Central City. With Firestorm's help, Barry managed to close it, at the cost of Ronnie's life. Not wanting to watch anymore people care about die, he dissolved the team, and resolved to defend the city on his own.

Year Two: Enter Zoom

After six months, The team was once again reassembled to defeat Atom-Smasher, and while celebrating their success, Jay Garrick appears and revealed to the team that the singularity that nearly consumed Central City has inadvertently open a portal to Earth-2 and open their own world to a new threat: an evil, mysterious, and powerful "speed demon" named "Zoom", obsessed with being the only speedster in the multiverse. He informs them of how Zoom have been sending metahumans like Atom-Smasher from Earth-2 to kill Barry and that he, like Barry, was the Flash of Earth-2, but somehow lost his powers thanks to Zoom. While reluctant to trust him at first due to their previous dealing with Eobard, but was accepted when he helped them defeat Sand Demon, even taking on a role as Barry's new mentor as a speedster, like teaching him how to throw lighting. Almost with Stein's conditioning worsening without a Firestorm half, they eventually recruited Jefferson Jackson, who then left with Stein for Pittsburgh for training.

The team gets a most surprising new member when he saved Barry from an ambush by King Shark: Dr. Harrison Wells from Earth-2, who came to aid Barry and the team in the fight against Zoom. Tensions we high, especially with Jay, and while his assistance did help Barry stop Dr. Light, Jay left for a time when the team went with Wells' plan to use Light to trap Zoom and end his threat. However, the plan went horribly wrong went not only Light escape, but even when they found a replacement with Linda Parks, Barry's ex, not only did Zoom saw through the tarp, but after drawing Barry into a fight, despite the Flash's best efforts, Zoom easily managed to completely and utterly destroy Barry in the fight, even paralyzing him for a time, while showing off his defeat for all of Central City to see. Luckily, when he was about to kill Barry in front of his team, Cisco manages to use Wells' speed damping serum to chase him away.

It took Barry about a week to recover, but his defeat at Zoom's claws still haunts him. However, with the assistance of his father, he begins to overcome the sting of defeat, and he , Harry and the rest of the team are now more determine than ever to stop Zoom.

While working on a way to get Barry to become fast and strong enough to face Zoom, they got drawn into a conflict with Vandal Savage, a threat that would require the assistance of Team Arrow to defeat, which after many twists and turns, succeeded.
