The Flash Suits (Earth-1: Pre-Crisis)

The Flash Suits are a series of protective suits created by Cisco Ramon. It was originally created for firefighters to withstand the extreme heat. It was later converted into a protective suit for Barry Allen as The Flash.

Training suit
This suit was designed as a training suit for Barry for the Team Flash to test out Barry's speed at Ferris Air Testing Facility. After Barry crashed and broke the suit, it was stored in the Starchives.

First suit
This suit is a prototype firefighter uniform designed to withstand the extreme heat. It was converted into The Flash suit by Cisco and added an earpiece, lightning bolt designs and an emblem.

Upgrades
After Barry's first time being a vigilante, Cisco added a better earpiece and inserted a thermal threading after being defeated by Cold Gun's low temperature. Cisco also linked the suit to the system of S.T.A.R. Labs and can monitor the suit while Barry uses it.

Destruction
The suit was later destroyed by Plastique after Barry touched her. After the suit was destroyed, Barry went back to S.T.A.R. Labs half-naked and was questioned by Cisco. Barry told Cisco the truth and Cisco was upset at the destruction. Later, Cisco gave one of the spare suit to Barry, and he claimed he had two more spare suits. The another spare suit was used by Barry again in 2018 when Nora returned and his suit was destroyed. However, the spare one was again destroyed when Gridlock sent Barry landed in a pond and torn the suit open.

Second suit
After Wade Eiling shot acid at Barry and Barry had to run it off, the suit was burnt and was unable to be used. Cisco later gave him another spare suit, and he wore it until it was erased out of existence in Flashpoint. After Flashpoint, it was restored when Eobard killed Nora Allen again, resetting the timeline.

Upgrades
After the team reunited, Cisco redesigned the suit with a new emblem which matches the one shown in the newspaper from 2024. The suit was later designed with Dwarf Star Alloy to protect Barry, but it can only do it once. After fighting Griffin Grey, the chest piece was abandoned.

Destruction
After Barry tried to regain his speed, he was sucked into the Speed Force and thus, destroying the suit, leaving the emblem part on the ground.

Third suit
When Barry exits the Speed Force, he got a new suit which is presumed to be created by the Speed Force. Later, Savitar used the suit to trick H.R. Wells in giving him the location of Iris.

Destruction
When Barry is in the Speed Force and a samurai attacked Central City, he demanded The Flash. Since Barry is gone, Wally used the suit and tried to trick him. However, Wally was outmatched and the samurai cut through his leg, destroying the suit.

In 2018, Cisco patched up the suit and Barry used it to bring Nora back to the future. Due to Nora's negative tachyons in her body, they were unable to return, and the suit was destroyed during the process.

Fourth suit
"And underneath all this red beautiful, I've built in self-repairing armor, nano-liquid circuitry, full-spectrum scanning, and a whole bunch of other big words. Chief among them. Your very own custom-made HUD. This thing is loaded with maps, schematics, delivery menus."

Trivia

 * According to Cisco, there are at least 3 spare of the red emblem suit as he claimed there are 2 left after the original one was destroyed.
 * The original one was used when it was blown up by Plastique in.
 * The second one was burnt by acid in.
 * Later, the last spare suit was used in when Barry does not have a suit to use. This proves that Cisco did make 3 spares of the original suit.
