Following the Flashpoint, a new history of events was created by the altered timeline.
William Selkirk first discovered the existence of the Speed Force in legends around the world when he studied his doctorate at Oxford. He attempted to publish his findings but was derided by his peers causing him to devote his fortune to finding proof of its existence. His travels led him to the Utah Salt Flats where he discovered a tear into the Speed Force where Selkirk got dragged into it. After passing through, he got trapped within the otherworldly realm of the Speed Force that held various beings from across the timeline that were trapped within its confines. (Flash v4 #38)

Television
- In Justice League Unlimited, the Speed Force was shown though not named as such in the episode "Divided We Fall". During the battle with the merged Brainiac/Lex Luthor, Flash was the only member of the Justice League not defeated. He seemingly runs from the battlefield but in actuality was traveling at near light speed levels in order to deal tremendously powerful strikes to the supervillain. After numerous of such blows, Luthor was stripped of his Brainiac components that were destroyed making Lex a normal human again. However, the use of his powers threatened to draw him into a speed forest until the rest of the Justice League managed to pull him out before he was lost forever.
- In 2014 The Flash, the Speed Force was mentioned as part of the backstory. Eobard Thawne's cells were depleted of the Speed Force after he jumped back in time where he attempted to kill a young Barry Allen.
