The Flash - Season 1

We know that the initial leaked images of the Reverse Flash were of Grant fighting a stunt double. However, I do think it's a safe bet that the person actually playing the role 'for real' has in fact already been found, even if they haven't been officially revealed to the world yet.

As far as the character's 'real identity' goes, we know it's not Wells, and, based on some comments from Grant, I don't think it's Eddie.

As soon as Sisco said that there were three uniforms, I immediately wondered if one of them had the colours inverted?

You have to imagine that a "functioning" flash Suit has to be difficult to make, and not just anyone can do it.

Either the Reverse Flash has access to Wells/Sisko, he altered one of Barry's uniforms, or he's the tool, albeit ever so temporarily, of a different billionaire who is trying to reverse engineer the Flash for some nefarious reason.

Why would the colour of the suit alter the colour of the lightning trail when Barry's lightning trail is consistent no matter what he is wearing?

Cisco.
 
If all we're going off of for Wells not being Professor Zoom is the synopsis that says Wells is helping to stop Professor Zoom, I'm not buying it. And it still jives with my theory that Wells is Professor Zoom prior to becoming Professor Zoom, it's possible that both Wells and Zoom can exist at the same time because of time travel.
 
There's a scene where Wells moves past a sign for "Level 600," and if you look at it, it kind of looks like "Level God." If he is supposed to be a New God and if that was done on purpose (and not just my mind playing tricks on me), that would be an awesome Easter Egg.

Brainiac 5 doesn't seem likely, but Vril Dox II of L.E.G.I.O.N. might fit. Not sure if Vril killed anyone, but he was a master manipulator of events and frequently would put people into situations that were, less than ideal, but served his schemes. It's possible that Querl communicated to his ancestor the need to protect Supergirl, and Flash's involvement in the Crisis.

The producers assured us that Wells is a new character.

But some of us don't trust them.

Remember Rudolf West... Joe's Brother?

(Kid Flash's daddy.)

Postcrisis, Rudy was replaced by a Manhunter (precursor to the Gren Lanterns, insane AI built by the Immortal Guardians of the Universe, intent on destroying all biological life to bring order and harmony.) who still somehow retained an albeit strained relationship with his family, but the strained bit might have been because he was an asshole and not that he was an evil robot trying to destroy all life in the universe.

Rudolf West's inner deadbeat jerk who would not pay child support was stronger than the machine that had downloaded his personality as a disguise to watch Wally and then recruit or destroy him.

Edit.

Google is suggesting that Rudolph is an agent of the Manhunters and not an actual robot, which is way lass cool.

Rudy is the son of Ira West, a physicist. Iris is Rudy's sister. Joe doesn't exist in the comics.
 
That's your nitpick?

I'm looking at it, and thinking, hey, isn't Rudolf West, Iris' brother? And adopted brother at that. And as far as that show goes, for the timelines to synch up, Wally has to be born right now, but seemingly his "father" doesn't exist.

What is the possibility of season two being in a different timeline where Nora Allen lived and Barry was never raised by Joe therefore creating a vacuum where Joe would have another child? It's happened before. Witchblade season 2. Meanwhile in Rick and Morty, our heroes helped accidentally destroy the world, and skipped off to a parallel universe where they had died, to finish off the season.

Yes, I am aware that Joe is new, or I assumed that he was new, because people in this thread have said that he was new.

What I was leaning toward is if they have no interest in bringing Rudy in, then it's Joe or Harry who might fall victim to these unused character traits.

It is they who might be Manhunters?

Even in the seventies when the humaniform androids from Fortress would have their seemingly human faces ripped off to reveal a mess of cables and transistors in the 6 Million Dollar Man, that #### was messed up.
 
You said Rudy was Joe's brother. That's what led me to point out that Rudy is the son of Ira and the brother of Iris.
 
Gathering, circus, I can hardly tell the difference any more.

But the idea that Harrison was infected or possessed by "something" (Technological, biological or supernatural.) would establish the man as having a Teflon public identity since he is not only a real person who was born in the 20th century, but maybe he is also only a meat suit for the real villain.

Comic book Iris was born in he 30th century.

Any one think the same might be true for TV Iris?
 
We do, I don't.

Watching Charlie Brown when it airs is a holiday tradition...CW puts full episodes of The Flash on its website. My choice is made.

At least they're not calling it "The Flash v. Arrow"...how lame would that be?
 
Well I've finally gotten around to watching the first five episodes of the show. I hadn't heard or read much about the show so I didn't have any expectations good or bad going in to it. As it goes it's not to bad, a reasonable way to pass an hour, which at the end of the day is what you want from a show. I'll contiunue watching for now.
