31. Science Behind How The Flash Got His Powers
- Company: DC Comics
- Real Science: Biology, Genetics, Chemistry
- Possible To Recreate: No
It is said that Barry Allen was conducting an experiment in his laboratory at the CCPD on the night a particle accelerator exploded. At the same time the accelerator sent its explosive wave out, the lab was also struck by lightning. All of this sounds too sciency to not be real, right? Well, the facts behind comic book characters like The Flash are not exactly as cut and dry. To be fair, it took an amended accelerator to even do this.
It also could not actually send out such a wave. Although there is never really any knowledge of the contents of his lab, just proposed ideas. Could this give someone powers? It is kind of possible to assume that the lab contents mixed with a close particle accelerator could do something. These accelerators have given us some interesting stuff to us in the past. There is still so much we believe they can do too. Therefore, this is all theoretically possible.
