Team Flash may live to fight another day, but is the fastest man alive ready for the next big bad of season 5?

Barry Allen. The fastest man alive, at any size. Here's a look at the latest Justice League figure from Hot Toys, featuring the scarlet speedster at sixth-scale size.

With West back in action as Doctor Manhattan’s attention shifts to the DCU, it’s time then to settle an age-old debate: Who’s the better Flash? That’s the question that Flash team Joshua Williamson and Howard Porter will seek to answer in Flash War, a new event that will provide a “definitive” answer as West establishes his role in the new DC Universe.

ow minus a lightning storm bathed in particle accelerator radiation hitting a collection of the right amount of chemicals and dousing me with a connection the Speed Force, I probably won’t be the fastest man alive…ever. Nor will I ever manage to figure out how to use Tachyon particles to replicate that speed. What I can do however, is at least look the part, while riding a motorcycle. Take a look at what UD Replicas has whipped up for anyone who has a need for speed.

There are only so many times that you can start an episode of The Flash with Barry Allen claiming to be the fastest man alive and then find himself immediately outclassed by a new threat on the horizon. If you can’t beat the scarlet speedster at his own game then, how do you defeat him? With smarts, as this week’s finale hinted at a more cerebral opponent.

Savitar has been unlike any other opponent faced so far however. Quicker than the Flash on even his best day, Savitar is a tank with the engine of a Speed-Force Ferrari. Unstoppable, he’s a constant reminder to Barry that he will make his life a living hell when he kills Iris West in a fixed moment in time. So who the hell is he? We’ve got several suspects below.

Here’s the trailer for the third season of The Flash, revealing a brave new world for The Flash and his new timeline.
