This is going to be a little bit of a rant.
One good thing about Arrow in the old days is that at the end of Season 1, you could still count on one hand how many people knew Ollie's secret. On Flash, you had already run out of fingers in the one hand at the end of the pilot. By the end of the first season, you run out of both fingers AND toes, with at least 22 people that I can think of off the top of my head who know who the Flash is under his mask.
Below I have my list of people who learned Barry's secret in Season 1, written in white so that the spoiler sensitive can be spared. I am well aware that some of the names on my list are now deceased, and some the names are my list are code names. If I am missing one, that just further proves my point.Iappologise for spelling any names wrong.
Eobard Thawne, Cisco Ramone, Caitlyn Snow, Oliver Queen, Joe West, Felicity Smoak, Girder, Plastique, John Diggle, Lyla Michaels, Roy Harper, Leonard Snart (and possibly Dante Ramone), Eddie Thawne, Ray Palmer, Ronnie Raymond, Martin Stien, Mrs. Stien, Laurel Lance, Henry Allen, Malcolm Merlin, Iris West, and Nora Allen.
Season 2 adds even more names to the list. With so many people who know Barry's secret, it's no wonder Jay Garrick was able to figure out who the Flash was over the summer. By the end of season 2, we've nearly doubled our number, adding at least 19 names to our list. Once again, I will put my list in white below:
Jay Garrick/Zoom, Earth-2 Harrison Wells, Linda Park, Kendra Sonders, Carter Hall, Thea Queen, Jesse Quick, Earth-2 Iris West, Earth-2 Barry Allen, Killer Frost, The Man in the Iron Mask, Patty Spivit, Hartley Rathaway, Kara Danvers/Supergirl, Jimmie Olsen, Whinn Scott, Lucy Lane and Cat Grant from the Supergirl Crossover, Tina McGee and Wally West.
