I still like to view this as a spinoff , only because I liked the others so much . But considerg how Bethesda is like now , I wouldn ' t be supposed if ES 6 sucks . <| sep |> True . However , Why ? happens because they found out How ? You know what I mean ? <| sep |> We ' re all silvers now <| sep |> Actually in the comics Barry is the speed force , when the bolt of lightning hit him it rippled out through time and space . I don ' t know if they will stick with this in the show though . Max Mercury discovered that it is Barry Allen himself who generates the Speed Force with every step that he runs . When he was struck by the bolt of lightning that gave him his powers , the Speed Force was created and echoed through time and every dimension . By running , Barry generates a kinetic wall between the present and the time barrier that manifests as electrical energy that touches every part of reality and contains the knowledge of every place and every time .
