Flash wiki savitar5/25/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() In the Arrowverse, the Negative Speed Force is an artificial extradimensional source of energy which Eobard Thawne created some time in the future. She then proceeds to circle him at super speed and absorbs the Negative Speed Force into herself. But Meena later betrays Barry and Wally, the full force of Black Hole appearing and capturing the speedsters, Meena seemingly as their leader. She orders him to test the full destructive power of its energies at a Demolition Derby, the results shattering windows and flipping nearby cars. Ī few days later, Meena Dhawan returns and tells Barry that the negative aspect of the Speed Force is conflicting with the remnants of the positive in his system and is slowly killing him. Barry's aura remains quiet when he runs alongside his partner. It would appear the Negative Speed Force can be kept in check to an extent by its opposite, the positive Speed Force as Barry and Wally stop a jewelry store robbery by Black Spider. Wally West later volunteers to train Barry to control his new destructive abilities. He later, unfortunately, learns the Negative Speed Force is also playing havoc with his emotions, causing him to snap at David Singh and the destructive aura surrounding him is exacerbated by anger. Barry soon realizes his accelerated metabolism has diminished since his exposure and takes longer to heal from superficial wounds such as those received from his battle with Shrapnel. Īfter Iris West killed Thawne, the Negative Speed Force seemed to remain within Barry's system causing him to accidentally produce destructive force waves around him, blowing up an armored truck after saving its drivers from the Road Reapers. Barry somehow escapes and returns to the 25th century, and promises he'll kill Thawne. Instead, Barry's Speed Force connection is corrupted, now gaining a Negative Speed Force connection as well as a different look. Thawne leads Barry to the Negative Speed Force, as he figures that it will keep him trapped there forever. The energies have turned from red to black to further emphasize its "negative" and poisonous properties. Thawne can tap into it as normal speedsters can with the normal Speed Force, but with its own unique energy signature. In the Post-Flashpoint universe, and after the events of DC Rebirth, it is revealed that the Negative Speed Force still exists and that Eobard Thawne is still the creator and generator of it. He used it to infect and corrupt Barry, in the hopes that the Negative Speed Force would consume Barry's loved ones and other speedsters who rely on it, consuming Barry in grief so that he'd merge with the Speed Force. Like Barry Allen with the Speed Force, Thawne himself is also the generator of the Negative Speed Force with every step that he runs. It is an extra-dimensional field of negative energy that eats away at the regular Speed Force like a cancer and can consume any speedster connected to it by touch.
