A premier research and development facility, S.T.A.R. Labs built a next-generation particle accelerator, which they claimed would provide energy to all of Central City. However, the accelerator exploded shortly after it was activated, releasing a dark matter energy wave that gave superhuman speed to Barry Allen, a forensic scientist visiting the lab. Barry became the speedster known as the Flash, using his powers to fight crime and save Central City. Now largely defunct, S.T.A.R. Labs operates as both a prison for dangerous meta-humans and the headquarters for Team Flash.
