The Flash Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Last full accuracy audit: 2026-08-23 · 30 entries checked · 16 flagged · 39 issues confirmed · 16 corrected · 23 still open

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Iris West-Allen — Iris discovered Barry's secret identity on their wedding night when he spoke it in his sleep, but she revealed this knowledge on their first anniversary. In the original Silver Age canon, she discovered it in The Flash #165 (1966) when she found his costume, n

Justice League — The developer is spelled 'WayForward Technologies', not 'Wayforward Technologies'.

Speed Force Guardians — Wally West merged with the Speed Force during 'The Return of Barry Allen' storyline, not 'Rogue War.'

Speed Force Guardians — Wally West did become a permanent living conduit for all speedsters after merging with the Speed Force, contradicting the claim that he did not.

Barry Allen — The entry says Barry's nephew by blood is Wally West, but Wally West is Iris West's nephew, not Barry's blood nephew.

Barry Allen — The entry states Barry was born 'two weeks late as the second of a set of twins,' but in canon Barry Allen is not a twin and has no twin sibling.

Savitar — Savitar's identity is a time remnant created by Barry Allen from a future timeline, not simply a future version of Barry.

Savitar — Savitar's motivation was to ensure his own existence by killing Iris, as her death was the event that led to his creation, not to prevent her death.

Zoom (Hunter Zolomon) — The entry states Zoom caused the death of Barry's mother, but this was actually caused by Eobard Thawne (Reverse-Flash), and the entry later contradicts itself by stating the same fact.

Eobard Thawne — The entry states Thawne first appeared in The Flash #139 (September 1963) as the archenemy of Barry Allen, but in that issue he was not named Eobard Thawne; that name first appeared in The Flash #153.

Eobard Thawne — The Silver Age origin described in the LORE section conflates details: The entry says Barry defeated him by using the treadmill to send him to the 25th century, but the killing of Iris West and threatening of Fiona Webb occurred in later stories (The Flash #27

Godspeed (August Heart) — August Heart's first appearance as Godspeed is in The Flash (2016) #1, not The Flash: Rebirth (2016) #1.

Godspeed (August Heart) — Godspeed's powers do not canonically include time travel; he has never demonstrated the ability to travel through time in the comics.
