#That's where everyone mistook a murderer to be Barry. They specifically said 'It's lke they could be twins'

The Flash (2010) Vol.3 #10

You know in the context of this page it might look like Bart's late to the party and he's throwing around half-baked theories, but considering how often impersonation happens to speedsters it's a damn good theory. Solid really.

How often you ask? Well let's see all the times a speedster has been impersonated or had their body stolen in the comics:

Eobard impersonating Barry at Barry's own wedding. (The Flash (1959) Vol. 1 #165)

Eobard impersonating Barry while he was dead. (The Flash (1987) Vol. 2 #73-79)

Eobard stealing Barry's body. (The Flash (2016) Vol 6 #759)

Malcolm Thawne stealing Jay Garrick's body. (The Flash (1987) Vol 2. #148-149)

Thad impersonating Bart. (Impulse #62-66)

Bart impersonating Thad (albeit for a hot second to trick Craydl). (Impulse #56)

The Rival stealing Max Mercury's body. (Impulse #89)

And these are just the ones I know off the top of my head! There might be even more that I don't know of. But body snatching and impersonation is just baked into their history and I love it.
