* AdaptationalDumbass: Downplayed. Barry Allen in the comics is one of DC's smarter heroes, and as IWorkAlone was in play he was responsible for all the scientific solutions he used in his fights and superheroing. He invented a suit that could shrink to the size of a penny to fold into his ring on his own rather than needing his suits gifted to him, and would do all the calculations on how to defeat an enemy on his own instead of having people like Cisco, Harry, and Caitlin do it for him. Though the show informs us that Barry ''is'' smart, too often he's shown asking them to do the math for him, making it appear he lacks the comic version's ability to do this math in a split second.

Do to their very different backgrounds they were never that close with their friendship with Hal Jordan/Green Lantern serving as their main point of contact. Whereas in this continuity, they had a pre-existing relationship based on a past meeting prior to Barry gaining his powers. It is Oliver who most directly inspires Barry to become a masked superhero, and he even provides the inspiration for the name 'Flash'.

* SitcomArchNemesis: Ralph Dibny. Ralph is one of the few people Barry has no issue being hostile to right off the bat, and throughout Ralph's debut episode their grudge against one another is blatant enough that even Iris was left aghast at how belligerent Barry was being ([[{{Jerkass}} though Ralph wasn't acting any better]]). The source of their rivalry was ThatOneCase: about year or so before the start of the series, Ralph was a detective for the CCPD and Barry had just joined the force as a brilliant rookie CSI -- they ended up working together on a particular case that was remarkably similar to Nora Allen's murder: a woman was stabbed to death, and her husband was the primary suspect. However, there was no evidence to tie him to the crime. So, Ralph, sincerely convinced the guy was guilty, planted a knife with the victim's blood and the suspect's fingerprints to get him convicted. While he was being lauded as a hero, Barry, off-put by the similarities to his mother's case and suspicious of how suddenly such damning evidence turned up unexpectedly, tested the knife, found that the serrations didn't match the wounds on the victim, and busted Ralph, getting him fired. Years later, they still hate one another, their animosity only increasing once Ralph learns how successful Barry has become in the interim. Even after coming to an understanding they make no secret of the fact that they still dislike each other. Unlike the personal, downright ''visceral'' hatred Barry has for his [[ArchEnemy Arch-Enemies]] above however, the mutual loathing Barry and Ralph have for each other is PlayedForLaughs. And as the season goes on, it slowly vanishes completely, with the two becoming genuine friends.

* MirrorCharacter: Of Eobard Thawne in that they both have a tendency to let negative emotions like wrath, hate, and anger dictate their conduct -- this is seen in Season 3 with Barry's BadFuture self, Savitar and later in Season 5 when Barry essentially disowns Nora for having Thawne as her mentor -- it doesn't matter to Barry that Nora just wanted to meet her dad, help catch a criminal he never could, and avert his disappearance on the Crisis on Infinite Earths. All that matters to Barry is that his daughter worked with the man who killed his mother and nothing else.

*** Season 4 makes it even ''more'' personal between Barry and Thawne; when Thawne, having managed wiggle out of his last {{RetGone}} ''again'', travels to Earth-X and joins the New Reichsmen just ForTheEvulz and they invade Earth-1 during Barry and Iris' wedding to capture Kara so they give her heart to Overgirl. Barry actually has the chance to kill Thawne but turns it down both do his ThouShallNotKill policy and the [[TimeyWimeyBall temporal complexities of Thawne's existence]]; even if Barry did kill him, Thawne would find a way to return. Barry has to just grimly accept that unlike Zoom or Savitar, Thawne will never be truly defeated.
*** Season 5 reveals just ''how'' much Eobard has managed to get under Barry's skin and the results aren't pretty: In the future, he's locked up in Iron Heights awaiting his execution ''and'' Nora West-Allen's mentor. She came to him due to lack of options -- all the other speedsters disappeared after the Red Skies Crisis and naiveté: Iris kept Nora's true heritage a secret from her and because most records of Thawne's villainy have been hidden from the public. Even when she realizes the full extent of his crimes, she still continues their association because she believes he's sincere about wanting to atone before his death. Unfortunately ''none'' of this matters to Barry when he finds out -- he briefly locks her up in the Pipeline and then exiles back to the future, but eventually comes back to his senses. ''Then'' in "Legacy" it's revealed that Thawne essentially set Nora up to erase herself from existence by changing time.
