Background information
Bar Allen is the son of Don Allen and Meloni Thawne, making him the grandson of Barry Allen (the second Flash) and Professor Zoom (the Reverse Flash and enemy of Allen). His birth in the 30th century ended a feud between the family that had started in the 20th century. When most of his family was killed in the Dominator invasion of Earth, his grandmother Iris West Allen took care of him, but Bart's super speed abilities caused him to age considerably faster than the other Flashes. Returning to the 20th century, Iris had Wally West (her nephew) teach Bart how to control his speed before it killed him. Bart Allen became the Flash when West retired to raise a family with Linda Park, but was killed by his clone, Inertia, in the run up to Countdown to Final Crisis.
