What do people think of pairing him with the Green Lantern from the Sinestro Corps. War Scenario pack? Give 'em the Silver Age Justice League ATA to fill out the remaining 10 points.
Liking the Speed Force trait and the way Flash Facts works, even though I wish the dial were a tad-more push friendly if we must have a 130 points version of Barry with Willpower mid-late dial. Time for some Flash Facts!

Sounds like a great plan until you realize Scenario Pack Hal only has Green Lantern Corps and New Guardians keywords, no Justice League. You could always run them in a higher point game where you don't care about theme, or do that with another Justice League Hal, though.
Arguendo of the Beige Lanterns (Pedantry Corps)
Feb 2015: JL Trinity War has have given us the CSA, playable and together. Twice. ROCK ON!
REClixed: Justice for Dmitri Pushkin (your sacrifice will not be forgotten)! New generic Rocket Red @50-75 points while we're at it? Still no 19DV Defender? (WoS Groot doesn't count)

Darn, seems like a missed opportunity for a good 300 point theme team. Allow me to switch my recommendation from WOL scenario pack GL to 150 point SLOSH Orion with a barebones power battery.
A bit pricey when compared to other HSS-based options for under 150 points (GF Captain Marvel, JLSG Superman, etc.), but certainly the most unique version of Flash, thus far. I'm a bit bothered that Flash has become progressively more expensive point-wise with each new set, but doesn't really do much more than previous versions.
He won't be able to ignore Plasticity or hindering terrain on movement, so keep that in mind. Hopefully, Speedster gets an ATA that grants enhanced movement options (blocking, characters, etc.).
... Flash Fact has it all wrong. Enhancement? Empowerment?
Barry's a fripping CSI with enough actual cop to him that it should be Perplex for 2, PC for 3 and Outwit for 4. assuming he shouldn't just have access to perplex or outwit otherwise in the FIRST place. Compared to Bizarro Flash, Barry here is just feh.
"A" is "A". And no matter what universe he's from, Luthor... is Luthor.
So what if he can re-roll Super Senses; Precision Strike still negates it
He is not noticeable faster than the recent Marvel speedsters, who have powers that sound far more like Flash than Whizzer
Flash is THE fastest. There is even a Marvel story with The Runner with a power gem where Marvel had a blonde speedster race him and was able to win. The competitor could not remember his name but felt it was something like "buried alien" (for the slightly thick, Barry Allan)
all the sadness over this click is funny. quicksilver is still faster by 1. despite the perceived lack of accuracy, I think it's a great dial if you can hit and deal damage. precision strike will end him though

I'll add to your under 150 pointer list the most glaringly obvious member, the one every Flash ever made or likely to be made hates with green envy: Speed Demon. I love the Flash, especially Barry, but unless I'm playing a theme team, if I just want a straight up Speedster, I'm picking Speed Demon.
That said, this is a good dial, and it's different enough that it'll bring real variety to Speedster options. That 18 Defend top dial is pretty sweet. And I do love the idea of Flash facts. No doubt he'll see enough play time on my thematic/Justice League teams.

Yep, just like Hulk is strongest, the Flash is fastest. Just wish we'd see a fantastic Flash dial to at least rival (preferably beat) Speed Demon and Whizzer.
