The Flash: Ranking Every Main Character Worst To Best

1. Barry Allen

The Flash Cisco Wells
The CW

Let's face it: Despite such an impressive, complex cast of characters, the show wouldn't be what it is without someone great giving life to Barry Allen. Throw all the love interests and villains and friends you want at him, but none of it would truly gel if Barry himself didn't work, and over the past two seasons, Grant Gustin has more than proven to be the right choice to don the mantle, able to effortlessly swing between tackling the show's heaviest drama and reveling in the fun of being a superhero.

Characters like Joe and Cisco help form the heart of the show, but Barry is its soul. When he goes back in time and has no choice but to watch his mother die (again) or stands helpless as Zoom kills his father, our hearts break with him. When he spends time with his friends and family simply having fun, we wish we could be there to hang out with them. When he comes flying out of a wormhole to kick Eobard Thawne's ass, we cheer. In his own show, he truly feels like the star, and so long as Gustin and the show itself remain as passionate for the material as they have been, it's hard not to remain excited to see what the future holds for Barry Allen.
