Momentous Museums of the Monarchs of Motion

Central City's Flash Museum was a testament to its appreciation for their savior speedster. Spotlight the history of Barry Allen’s alter ego the Flash of Earth-One, it not only made reference to the hero but also to his infamous adversaries. This facility’s curator and tour guide with retired actor Dexter Myles, who became a close friend and valuable ally of both the Flash as well as Barry and Iris Allen throughout the years.

Several key battles between Flash and his Rogues Gallery of supervillains took place in and around this building. Along the most well-known were the following:

• A attack launched against the Museum and its curator by the Top, seeking revenge on his previous defeats.

• Iris ventured to the Museum to recruit Myles in helping her husband, who had been mentally controlled by the Mirror Master. Dexter used his thespian abilities to aid the Flash on this occasion to impersonate Heat Wave, in order to defeat the reflecting rogue and restore Allen’s mind.

• The heinous horn-blower the Pied Piper used his hypersonic pipe, mentally controlling three normal citizens and programmed them into demolished exhibits within the museum. They would have succeeded were it not for the timely intervention of the Flash. 

Keystone City had a comparable structure, only instead of honoring Jay Garrick’s alter ego, the Flash of Earth-Two, it spotlighted technological advancements of the present day. This Twentieth Century Museum came under attack when T.O. Morrow with his faceless android minions sought to plunder this building of its prized valuables. Defending it was the Justice Society, of whom the Flash led the charge. Also accidentally rendered immobile by his new colleague the Red Tornado, himself a synthetic creation of Morrow programmed to lead the Society into a trap, the Flash and his allies defeated Morrow and his mechanical men.

Whether the Twentieth Century Museum was renovated after portions of it has been demolished by Morrow’s bots is unknown. However, the Flash Museum remained pristine and expanded in the years to follow.
