‘The Flash’ Finale: Man in the Iron Mask Revealed and Barry Ruins Time Continuum

The Flash finale was packed with excitement as a more powerful Barry finally duked it out with arch nemesis Zoom. Barry hoped to get revenge for Zoom killing his father, and he also wanted to keep Zoom from destroying the universe. Ultimately Barry defeated Zoom by luring Time Wraiths to his location using a remnant of himself he got after traveling back in time.

After defeating Zoom, Barry learned the identity of the man in the iron mask Zoom had been keeping prisoner. It turns out that he was the real Jay Garrick, a speedster from Earth 3. Not only that, but he was also Barry’s dead father’s doppelgänger — apparently his dad’s mother’s maiden name was Garrick!

The episode ended with Barry going back in time and stopping his mother’s murder. Obviously this is a massive breach of the time continuum, and it looks like it could spell disaster for the Flash. Perhaps Barry is ready to hang up his red suit and see what life would’ve been like if he had just been a normal kid?

The Flash will return in the fall on the CW.
