If you watched the CW’s hit television show The Flash last year, then you were treated to one of the best television adaptations we have seen of the Scarlet Speedster in years. Mind you, we watched the TV show in the 90s with John Wesley Shipp and LOVED it, but this new version is light years ahead. One of the things the executive producers of the show like to do is toss out Easter eggs to the fans of the DC universe. This season was no exception, including casting Shipp as Barry Allen’s father on the show as well as a direct nod in the finale to the very first version of The Flash from the comics. Hardcore comic-book fans will know that there have been a few different versions of the character over the years, but new fans or people whose only familiarity with the character are from the television show were probably wondering what was up with that metal helmet with wings. We thought we would give you a primer on all the different versions of The Flash over the years and also tell you which two of these four have been confirmed to join Barry Allen in season two of The Flash.
