The most interesting one is Barry Allen. I cannot recall a single instance (at least in the 60s when I read the strip avidly) when Barry used his skills as a scientist or his connection to the police department in connection with his adventures as the Flash.


Barry Allen would probably be a more interesting character today. "Police scientists", or as we know them today, CSI, weren't in vogue in the 60s and 70s. Now, they're every other show on television.
