Okay? Who was that in the pilot then?
I have been suspecting they would do this. In the comics Weather Wizard's name has always been Mark Mardon not Clyde Mardon.
^ I'm glad I wasn't imagining things when I thought that Mark had made an appearance in the Pilot.
I wonder why they didn't just try and re-use the actor who played him in cameo in that episode.

Maybe they did, but decided he wasn't right for a larger role. Or maybe he wasn't available because he'd gotten another job. Both have happened in similar situations in the past.
Either case could probably true. The pilot was filmed nearly a year ago at this point. It is a shame though, that those few scenes couldn't have been re-shot at the beginning of the season. Still not as bad as the sloppy attempts to change the ending scenes of Constantine though.
The pre-New 52 Weather Wizard, got the wand which controls weather after killing its inventor, his brother.
The New 52 Weather Wizard's origin was told just as I was getting out of comics, but it did involve Mark Mardon becoming Weather Wizard after his brother Claudio was killed after his wife decided he needed to go.
They could always reshoot the pilot scenes with Liam McIntyre for the DVD/Blu-Ray and possible future syndication. I don't know it would really be worth it for them, but it's not impossible.
There's already two pilots out there?
(Was there any difference between the prerelease and the actual release 6 months later?)

I'm wondering if they'll take a similar tactic. We already have true tech villains in both Captain Cold and Heat Wave (as they should be). What if Mark Mardon turns out to be tech based too? What if he somehow figures out how to harness his dead brother's power through tech (maybe even by using his brother's remains - after cremation perhaps - these people are supposed to be evil after all).

They were both in the plane that got hit by the particle accelerator lightning, so why wouldn't they end up with the same powers?

We all suspected it after the midseason finale, but now it's official. Tom Cavanagh, who plays Dr. Harrison Wells on The Flash, confirmed that he will be doing double-duty as the villain Reverse Flash at the Television Critics Association's winter previews on Sunday.
"[Wells] is the man in the yellow suit," Cavanagh said during a panel discussion, referencing the comic book villain who killed The Flash's mother. And since he has the suit, exhibited the villain's vocal vibration powers, and has a faster-than-light tachyon device, all signs point to a time-traveling Reverse Flash. But is he the only one?
Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg hinted that another person may be involved in the Reverse Flash mythology—namely Eddie Thawne (Rick Cosnett). Fans have speculated that Eddie (whose name resembles Eobard Thawne, one of the aliases of Reverse Flash in the comic books on which the series is based) will emerge as Reverse Flash in the series. "His name is not an accident," Kreisberg said Sunday. "Eddie's connection to the Reverse Flash lore is going to pay off big time in the back half of the year."

The source is only 5 episodes ahead of us, and the producers are are only 7.
Season 2 is going to shake everything up.

Whatever connection Eddie ends up having to Reverse Flash lore from the comics, it's not going to be that he's another version of that character because, as per Cavanagh, there is only one Reverse Flash in the series.
