Fighting crime isn't the only way the Flash is able to keep the DC Universe safe. Apparently all of the Fastest Man Alive's running is crucial to keeping the enigmatic Speed Force from destroying the fabric of space and time.

Barry had long been an advocate for justice, ever since his father was wrongly accused of murdering Barry's mother. And while that strong desire led him to a career in forensic science, being the Flash allowed Barry to truly help those in need.

And it's a good thing Barry has kept up the pace, because if he hadn't, the DC Universe might be in serious trouble. In the Flash #8 by Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato, the Flash has entered the Speed Force in pursuit of Iris West as several others were sucked into a wormhole Barry think he's caused using his speed powers as Flash. While trapped in the Speed Force, Barry meets a man named Turbine, an old World War II fighter pilot who fell into a wormhole similar to the ones that have been plaguing the Flash. Turbine implores Barry to send him home, but Barry wants to learn more about the Speed Force and why he's causing wormholes to appear. Turbine reveals to the Flash that he isn't causing the wormholes, he's actually helping stabilize the Speed Force as it builds up energy while moving through time.

While much of the Speed Force isn't
