[COLOR=red][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]C O N C E P T   A B S T R A C T:[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][INDENT][INDENT][i]Similar to the Jay Garrick Story. I want to incorporate what I feel to be the best parts of the Barry Allen story and background, in order to create a fun and fulfilling story. His origin I am purposefully going to leave blank, however in the next section I will detail some of the villains he has already faced. So for anyone who doesn't want potential spoilers on the Jay Garrick story don't read it. The main reason I want to do this is I love the character, and I like the idea of writing two Flashes concurrently and showing the difference between the two. While Jay and Barry have their similarities they are also very much their own entities, this Barry Allen will be the Flash after Jay has died (in events I won't mention) and a member of the Justice League. What I'm looking forward to most is the Jay Garrick and Barry Allen interaction, in Barrys past and Jays future. I just feel it's a unique way to write and I'm super interested to write it in that way.

In terms of Rogues, it'll be more or less his standard. Other than his origin the main thing I will be doing with Flash is incorporating the Marvel Universe into his mythos. Rather than a complete retelling.[/i][/indent][/indent]
