I’ve read that Captain Cold’s going to be back. Plus there will be two crossovers with Supergirl, so maybe he’ll fight it out with some of her villains. (I thought the Silver Banshee/Livewire fight wasn’t bad.)
Dr. Alchemy/Mr. Element will appear, as will (drum roll, please) Mirror Master.
Preferably in a skimpy, revealing costume, just because I think Candice Patton is sexy as all get out.
And I agree with other commenters: Oh god, yet another badguy speedster?
My understanding is that Dr Alchemy is supposed to be the Big Bad for this season. I’m not familiar with him, but I don’t think he’s supposed to be speedster, is he?
No, he’s got control of elements (in the periodic table sense, not the classical sense). OTOH, it looks like he’s the same individual as the Rival of the Flashpoint universe, so who knows where they’re going with it.
My speed-scanning of this post led me to believe that a new villain called Doctor Egg Roll will appear. I will be supremely disappointed if there is not a villain called Doctor Egg Roll.
There’s a villain called “Egg Fu”, who’s (granted, racist as hell) possibly the coolest concept for a villain ever.
The cover does not totally do him justice. His prehensile mustachios aren’t as clear as they could be, he normally wears thick round glasses and speakes in “Engrish” Close enough to Egg Roll?
Man, you just can’t satirize history. I don’t even know why I tr
Pleaaaaase let him not be a Speedster in this timeline. Because, seriously, his Rival suit was the most ridiculously overdone thing I’ve seen in this series yet. I would be interested in a villain that could mess with elements and their compounds (so long as his suit wasn’t designed by a theatrical costume designer in Las Vegas).
He can roll eggs faster that a speeding spring roll!
There’s two versions–the guy got an upgrade and changed his name between his first and second appearances.
He was originally Mr. Element who wore a green kevlar-ish suit and a gas mask. He could change one element into another but only in blocks–so to speak. He could turn a copper lamp into a gold lamp, but he couldn’t create an anvil-shaped chunk of lead out of air or mess with compounds (so he was screwed with plastic or people or trees or stuff). He had a gun that let him do this.
In his second appearance he got the philosopher’s stone. He wore a blue shirt with a green hoodie, grey pants and blue–it was actually much cooler looking (and would be easier to do). The philosopher’s stone allowed a lot more flexibilty–making near-invisibly thin wires of steel stretched across the room, as well as changing people to glass, etc.
He wasn’t quite a member of the Rogue’s Gallery. His interests/needs were so different from theirs that there just wasn’t a lot of commonality of interest. The Rogues treated him like an average mafia mook would have treated Don Corleone.
Makes no sense. Barry stopped himself from changing time, so why should anything be changed when he came back at the end? Just because the villain made an ominous one liner?
They probably can’t use him, being a Wonder Woman villain and all. Gotta save him for the big screen. :eek: (would probably make for a better movie than the one they’re actually making, given how awful the DC movie universe is going…:D)
Because the villain is alive and free, and has made it his mission to fuck with Barry. This seems pretty obvious.
Compared to the comic book arc that inspired it, the motivation for “restoring” the timeline was pretty damn tepid. Wally’s wounded, Joe’s a drunk! … Big deal.
I guess the show doesn’t have the budget to depict the destruction of western Europe.
