Tom Cavanagh raises the stakes in this promo image.
Story by Matt Cummings
Although CW's The Flash is on a Spring hiatus, fans have been treated to news aplenty, inclduing a spinoff. But the first-season story of the Scarlet Speedster isn't quite done, as fans await the final episodes, which will most likely deal with Barry Allen’s pursuit of time travel technology. As you know, this is the only way that his mother - who was killed in the opening episode - might be rescued. Standing in the way of that is Flash's nemesis Reverse-Flash, played by Tom Cavanagh, who also plays Barry's mentor Dr. Harrison Wells.
This relationship is about to get a severe test, as recent trailers show that Reverse Flash announces his appearance to none other than his own Star Labs staff. How this will affect Allen and TeamFlash is yet to be determined, but today we took one step closer to seeing the epic battle play out. CW has released a nearly full-body image of Reverse Flash that clearly shows his costume and how Wells' appearance is mostly masked by the helmet itself.
This isn't the first time we've seen the suit or Wells in it, but its appearance does confirm where Season 1 is hoping to plant its flag: this will be a battle between two equally-powered foes for nothing short of Barry's future (and his past). Earlier conflicts were handily won by Reverse Flash, but the youngster is improving his speed and street smarts, to the point that the two might now enjoy equal power. That should play itself out nicely as we approach the finale, as we also know he will face another round with Captain Cold as well as Mark Hamill reviving his role to play The Trickster.
