He also acquired the Philosopher's stone an object originating from the Speed Force, capable of creating metahumans. After this Barry came to the realization that Savitar was in fact his own future self and accepted his destiny, renaming himself "Savitar" after the Hindu God of Motion. Barry then designed a suit of armor to contain the energy released when he runs and protect himself from being ripped apart, drawing inspiration from Savitar's armor. However he became so fast that prolonged running would start to rip his body apart and one of these instances left a large scar on the side of his face. Travelling through time and space Barry began physically augmenting his speed to unimaginable levels that surpassed that of his prime self. Grief stricken from Iris' death and isolated from his family and friends Barry was driven insane and sought to end his pain, coming to a realization that "God feels no pain" and aspired to become one. After surviving his encounter Barry was shunned by his prime self, Joe, Wally and Cisco for not being the "true Barry Allen", and was disregarded as a time aberration and a "disposable hero". However the prime Barry failed to defeat Savitar who slaughtered all the time remnants except for this one.

Savitar was one of the many time remnants of the original Barry Allen/The Flash from a possible future in the year 2020 or 2021 in the Post-Flashpoint timeline, created to help him fight his enemy Savitar in vengeance for killing their fiancee Iris West.
