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. On the last episode of The Flash we learned that Savitar is a future version of Barry. The big question here is: How did Barry become Savitar?
