Darryl Frye is Captain of the Central City Police Department. One of his subordinates was Police scientist Barry Allen. Frye would occasionally adopt the costumed identity Captain Incredible and fight crime in the city. He has seen the crime lab division decline over the years from the best the Mid West had to offer, to a department mired in wrongful convictions and budget cuts. He is happy to see Barry Allen, one of his finest officers, coming back to work after an extended absence.
