Savatar Research Paper

Before I begin I just want to say that this article contains spoilers for all of the episodes of The Flash up to the twentieth episode of the third season and minor spoilers for the second season of Legends of Tomorrow.

Lastly, this explains why Barry was still good when he sent the message from the year
