• Barry Allen : Who are you really?

  Clifford DeVoe : Who's asking? Barry Allen? Or The Flash?

  Barry Allen : How did you...

  Clifford DeVoe : Oh, please. Your secret is one of the more underwhelming revelations I have uncovered. I was born on the same evening as you were. January 7, the night S.T.A.R. Labs' particle accelerator bathed Central City in gene-altering dark matter. We were both struck by lightning.

  Barry Allen : I knew you were affected. How did our test not show your meta-DNA?

  Clifford DeVoe : For such a fast man, you're rather slow. I'm smarter than you. You and your science team have devised no strategy, no action, no coordinated effort for which I'm not already prepared.

  Barry Allen : The Samuroid, the bus metas. It was you. But why reveal yourself now?

  Clifford DeVoe : Because I have nothing to fear from you.

  Barry Allen : Yeah? Well, I'd think twice about that. I have a team of some of the smartest minds from the across the multiverse.

  Clifford DeVoe : Yes, your Council of Wells. Could any one of those clowns identify what my abilities are? You could gather every genius on every planet, and you still couldn't out-think me.

  Barry Allen : Plenty of metas have come after me, the people that I love. You know the one thing they have in common? They failed.

  Clifford DeVoe : You've done wonders all these years punching gorillas with rudimentary powers, chasing madmen shooting icicles. Those children with play guns. Savitar, Zoom, Thawne. Their powers are nothing compared to the power of limitless thought.

  Barry Allen : That's your ability? Your intellect was amplified by the particle accelerator.

  Clifford DeVoe : You may be the fast man alive, Allen. I'm the fastest mind.
