The Villain Bar

Wow, I thought I was the only one who enjoyed the Mob Rule arc.

Anyway, I think Harrison Wells might possibly turn out to be like Dr. Elias. Unless he doesn't have any villainous intentions at all.

 

TBH, those are the ones i care most to see. And Zoom. If we didn't get any other villains than those guys, I'd be fine with that.

We don't know how successful this show is going to be, i hope they don't save most of their big gun villains for later seasons

 

I know! There are few of us it seems.

I think you're right about Harrison Wells. Even if he won't be called Dr. Elias, he'll probably fill the same role. It's almost certain that he'll end up on the villainous side of things at some point in the show. Being the source of a superhero's powers tends to put you at odds with them in these stories it seems.

 

Given that some of Batman's foes (Deadshot, Brutale, League of Assassins, [BLACKOUT]Harley[/BLACKOUT]) have appeared on Arrow, which non-Flash villains do you see showing up in the Flash series?

My guesses:
Project Cadmus
Chemo
Dr. Polaris
Dr. Light
Maxwell Lord
Vandal Savage
Floronic Man, lol

 

I thought Dr Polaris *was* a Flash villain?

 

More of a Justice League villain if anything. I think his first appearance was in Green Lantern.

 

Vandal Savage was a early enemy of Barry Allen's Flash villain as well. I think Amanda Waller may become a villain as well.

 

I hope Deadshot or Merlyn pops up in the flash as well. They can crossover a few villains as well as good guy characters

 

I think Deadshot will show up I'm Flash via the Suicide Squad. I'm also wondering if Captain Boomerang is gonna be the link to bring them in the show.

 

Boomerangs were originally made for hunting in the Australian outback, they are designed to kill very large animals on impact. Getting hit in the head with a boomerang can easily cave someone's skull in or snap their neck. And that's normal wooden boomerangs with blunt edges. Add to that the "trick" boomerangs like the metal ones with razor edges or the hollowed out ones filled with plastic explosives, and you've got a fairly deadly weapon in the hands of someone who knows how to use it.

In regards to how he'd be a threat to the Flash, I'd imagine that spamming dozens of explosive boomerangs in a crowded urban environment would cause trouble for someone regardless of how fast they are.

 

I wonder how Mirror Master should be pulled off?
I see 2 ways of doing it.
Theres the grounded route, like the old show did, having him use holographic mirrors, and maybe hidden camera's in mirrors and crap like that. Give him enough mirror themed illusions, he'll be cool, but more of a Mysterio rip.
Or they could build up to having an actual mirror-verse. It's more true to the character, but might be too far fetched.

 

I say mirror-verse too

 

Yeah, all or nothing for me as well, the 90's show's Mirror Master was all kinds of lame.

 

Have you seen Mad Max 2 The Road Warrior?

Razor sharp boomerangs kill and maim people.

 

Hell yeah dude. Love that movie. I'll never forget that scene!

And I agree that they need to go all out with Mirror Master. The Mirror Master on the old show wasn't enough like the Mirror Master of the comics. He should definitely be able to enter mirrors

 

To be fair, the mirror master of the comics wasn't always able to enter mirrors. Originally, it was just illusions and laser guns. The mirror-world thing came later.

 

Mirror Master test footage:

 

i know thats a joke, but it just proves that they can pull off Mirror Master on a shoestring budget. Obviously it'd have to look better than that, but that already is decently convincing and was probably cheaply made by some random guy on his computer

 

THANK YOU. What you just said was one of my intentions for posting that. That and I thought the gif was funny.

I also think that Mirror-versing Mirror Master adds more to the CSI angle in which Barry would have to figure out how a criminal is breaking into and out of places without a trace.

 

That really depends on how fast Flash is going, because a guy with super speed could knock out a guy who throws Boomerangs before he had a chance to throw one.

Captain Boomerang always come off as someone who was more suited to fighting Green Arrow then the Flash.

If Flash could say only go at sub sonic speed, then maybe a guy with boomerangs could pose a threat, but in the comics they make Flash faster then the speed of light and give him a million over the top speed force tricks, like speed stealing, to the point that comes across as a game breaker. Captain Boomerang couldn't do anything to someone who could go faster then the speed of light, I don't think comic book writers realize how fast the speed of light is, Flash could punch Captain Boomerang a thousand times before he could even think to throw a boomerang.

 

The Flash can't move at supersonic or light speed even if he'c capable of it if he's within a city. If he's going at top speed within a city, the wind, friction, heat, and sonic booms he'd leave in his wake would destroy the city. He has to keep at subsonic speeds within a populated area or risk hurting innocent people.

Also, it kind of depends on how his speed works more than what his top speed. Is he simply capable of accelerating to super or light speed, or can he stand in one place and still passively think and move that fast? Because if it's only the former, than going too fast risks overshooting and missing his target entirely.
