10 Insane Times Comics Revealed A Hero's Future

4. Future Flash - The Flash Annual #3

King Thor
DC Comics

Barry Allen is to DC's timeline what an angry bull is to a china shop. Dark future versions of speedsters crop up faster than speed cameras at roadwork sites, but none went as insane on themselves as the Future Flash did.

This blue-shifted version of Barry Allen has made so many mistakes in his life that he has one choice: go back and save Wally West's life. While this has generally been the premise of Flash stories before, such as Dark Flash or Flashpoint, this Barry takes such extremes that he blows Gorilla Grodd's head clean off as the very first step of his plan.

The entire story is insane, but the raw emotion that drove this Barry Allen to the breaking point make it the right kind of insane.
