The Real Origin of the Flash / The Hypnotic Super-Speedster

Origin of The Flash (Barry Allen) retold

Mopee, a helpmate with magical powers from who Flash calls an "alien", claims to be responsible for the Flash's origin. Mopee introduces himself as an "Initiate Tenth Class of the Heavenly Help-mates". He says he "deliberately brought down that bold of lightning after I checked you out to receive the gift of Super-speed". However, the fact that Barry Allen was drenched in chemicals he did not own is a technical foul. So, in order for the Flash to legally retain his powers, he must earn enough money to buy the chemicals, and do so as the Flash.
