| 30 | [[EvilDuo A pair]] of [[SiblingsInCrime brothers who are career criminals]] before being turned into metahumans with weather manipulation powers. |
| 31 | ---- |
| 32 | * ArchEnemy: Joe and Patty both have personal beef against them for killing their partner and father respectively. It's mutual for Mark on Joe after Joe kills Clyde. |
| 33 | * EmpoweredBadassNormal: They are career criminal siblings who are already giving the authorities a hard time before gaining metahuman powers. |
| 34 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The brothers care deeply for one another. |
| 35 | * FromBadToWorse: A pair of proud career criminals who gained superhuman abilities. WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong |
| 36 | * LegacyCharacter: Mark Mardon takes Clyde's place as the weather manipulating metahuman, though he ends up being a SuperiorSuccessor. |
| 37 | * MovesetClone: They have the exact same WeatherManipulation power set. |
| 38 | * SiblingsInCrime: The brothers are career criminals. |
| 39 | * WeatherManipulation: The brothers' main ability. |
| 40 | ** Clyde uses it for [[SmokeOut fogs to allow his escape]], hurricanes to [[MundaneUtility cover a bank robbery]], and in his final move, a TornadoMove. |
| 41 | ** Mark's methods of using his powers are different though, instead making localized storm clouds to attempt to strike his subjects with lightning, shooting water at them with his hands, creating hail to kill people, or [[GiantWallOfWateryDoom a tidal wave]]. |

| 48 | !!!'''Species:''' Metahuman |
| 49 | !!!'''Played By:''' Creator/ChadRook |
| 50 | !!!'''Voiced By:''' Edson Matus (Latin-American Spanish), Creator/GoInoue (Japanese) |
| 51 | !!! '''First Appearance:''' "[[Recap/TheFlash2014S1E1Pilot Pilot]]" (''The Flash'' 1x1) |
| 52 | !!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/{{The Flash|2014}}'' |
| 53 | |
| 54 | A criminal and bank-robber who gained the power to control the weather from the particle accelerator explosion. |
| 55 | ---- |
| 56 | * AdaptationDyeJob: Blond hair instead of dark brown as in the comics. |
| 57 | * AdaptationalBadass: Clyde Mardon doesn't have or share his brother Mark's weather powers in the comics. |
| 58 | * AdaptationalVillainy: Clyde isn't even a criminal in the comics (most of the time, anyway), let alone a budding supervillain. |
| 59 | * AscendedExtra: Not only does Clyde ''not'' have any powers whatsoever in the comics, he is always a victim of DeathByOriginStory for his brother, the Weather Wizard. In this continuity, Clyde himself has weather powers and is the first villain to be faced by the Flash. While he does die at the end of his attempted attack on Central City and serve as the motivation for his brother's vengeance as the true Weather Wizard later on, it's undeniable that he had a rather larger role before that in this incarnation. |
| 60 | * BankRobbery: How he uses his powers. At first anyway, until Detective West accidentally convinces him to [[TornadoMove think big]]. |
| 61 | * ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Unlike the other metahuman villains, Cisco never got to call him Weather Wizard. Just as well, considering that his brother Mark is the Weather Wizard in the comics and takes that name on the show. |
| 62 | * CompositeCharacter: Took his brother Mark's role as the first Weather Wizard in all but name. Turns out this was just a ContinuityNod to the idea that originally he invented the wand; his brother was always the true Weather Wizard. |
| 63 | * DrunkOnTheDarkSide: All that power drives Clyde ''nuts''. |
| 64 | * DueToTheDead: Cisco once visited Clyde's grave as a request from Mark. |
| 65 | * EvilIsHammy: As he gets increasingly DrunkOnTheDarkSide, Clyde becomes progressively hammier. |
| 66 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Clyde is the Foolish Sibling to Mark's Responsible Sibling. Clyde is reckless while Mark is more level-headed. This is even reflected in their powers; while Clyde was more uncontrolled and wild with his powers, Mark is more precise, being able to generate a ball of hail and single bolts of lightning while indoors. |
| 67 | * GlassCannon: His offensive power with the weather is phenomenal but as soon as Barry cancels out his powers Detective West takes him out with two shots. |
| 68 | * AGodAmI: He genuinely believes he's God. Though given the circumstances, you can't really blame him, since he survived a plane crash that destroyed his plane in an explosion, and subsequently developed WeatherManipulation, along with, until he meets [[SuperSpeed the Flash]], being the only metahuman he knows about. According to his talk of how he thought of the Flash as "like him", he seems to believe that metahumans in general are gods, having no other real explanation for them himself. |
| 69 | * MundaneUtility: Of a sort. His WeatherManipulation powers are potentially godlike, and he [[AGodAmI admits as much himself]], but he uses them to help him with a BankRobbery. [[DeadpanSnarker Detective West]] notes just how stupid this is. |
| 70 | * NoOneCouldSurviveThat: He is presumed dead when his plane is caught in the blast radius of the particle accelerator's explosion. [[CassandraTruth No one believes Barry]] when he's the only one to claim Clyde is not only not dead, but can now control the weather. |
| 71 | * ParentalAbandonment: At the age of 10, his brother started raising him. |
| 72 | * ShockAndAwe: Can call down lightning. |
| 73 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: Despite appearing as a StarterVillain for only one episode, he had quite a significant impact on both ''The Flash'' and the Arrowverse. He is the reason Eddie Thawne to become Joe's partner after Clyde killed his former one, the reason for both Barry and Joe to become aware of the existence of meta-humans running rampant in Central City, by extension what finally convinced Joe that Henry Allen was innocent and Barry did see something impossible on the night Nora Allen was murdered, and of course his death is the reason why Mark Mardon comes for revenge for both Joe and The Flash. |
| 74 | * SmokeOut: His favorite way of escape; conjuring a thick fog that conceals the entire area. |
| 75 | * StarterVillain: He's the Flash's very first antagonist. And he's killed by Detective West. |
| 76 | * TemptingFate: Bellows to the cops, "DO YOU THINK YOUR GUNS CAN STOP ''GOD?''" Later gets shot and killed. |
| 77 | * TornadoMove: Able to stir up violent hurricanes around himself. |
| 78 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: Gone after his first episode. |

| 90 | |
| 91 | Clyde Mardon's older brother. He holds a grudge against Joe for shooting his brother. |
| 92 | ---- |
| 93 | * AdaptationalAttractiveness: He is usually depicted as LeanAndMean, but here he's portrayed by the TallDarkAndHandsome Liam [=McIntyre=], who [[Series/SpartacusBloodAndSand previously headlined a show about gladiators]] [[note]] Along with other actors playing characters in the ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}'', but let's not go there [[/note]]. Read: ''[[HeroicBuild Gladiators]]''. |
| 94 | * AdaptationalBadass: Instead of his brother inventing a "weather wand", which is the source of his powers in the comics, in the show he's depicted as a meta-human. The weather wand makes it in, but is instead used to ''counteract'' his powers. |
| 95 | * AdaptationDyeJob: His comic counterpart has black hair, but the show keeps his actor's dark brown hair. |
| 96 | * AlliterativeName: '''M'''ark '''M'''ardon. His CodeName, '''W'''eather '''W'''izard, also counts. |
| 97 | * AndStarring: Promoted to this citation in the Guest Stars lineup starting Season 2. |
| 98 | * ArchNemesisDad: To his BastardBastard daughter Joslyn Jackam, who despised her father for abandoning her and wants him dead. |
| 99 | * AvengingTheVillain: Came back to Central City to avenge Clyde's death. |
| 100 | * AwesomeByAnalysis: He's studied and tested his abilities rather than simply just taking them as is, and has been studying the Flash. If Captain Cold analyzed his cold gun to the tiniest detail, Mardon's done this with his powers. |
| 101 | * BattleInTheRain: He invokes this by bringing rainfalls most of the time he shows up. Doubles as ActorAllusion since [[Series/{{Spartacus}} his actor famously played a role]] whose RedBaron is "The Bringer of Rain". |
| 102 | * BeardOfEvil: As a supervillain, he counts. |
| 103 | * BeautyIsBad: Tall, dark and handsome, but a dangerous supervillain. |
| 104 | * BlowYouAway: Unlike Clyde who prefers TornadoMove, Mark loves generating strong gusts of wind. |
| 105 | * BondVillainStupidity: Could have easily and quickly killed Barry when he held a large number of children captive by placing bombs in their Christmas presents and threatening to detonate them if Barry tried to escape or fight back, but instead toyed with Barry by using extremely painful but non-lethal attacks. This gave Team Flash enough time to find and neutralize the bombs. Once Barry learned this, Mardon got his ass thoroughly kicked. |
| 106 | * ChekhovMIA: He went missing after the plane he and Clyde were hijacking during the MassSuperEmpoweringEvent crashed. |
| 107 | * CivvieSpandex: Wears a dark green jacket with lighter pockets and an upturned collar, echoing his comic version's second costume. |
| 108 | * DebtDetester: He broke Snart out of Iron Heights, just because he owed him and wanted to get it out of the way. |
| 109 | * DecompositeCharacter: In the comics, he is the sole Weather Wizard. However, his brother Clyde also filled that role as this series' StarterVillain. |
| 110 | * DisappearedDad: Has one himself and just like his father before him. He was a deadbeat to his daughter causing her to greatly resentment towards him since he did nothing for her. |
| 111 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Is evil and has a deep voice. |
| 112 | * EvilVersusEvil: He doesn't seem to get along well with Kyle Nimbus/Mist. |
| 113 | * {{Flight}}: By season two, he's worked out how to use his powers to fly. |
| 114 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Mark is the Responsible Sibling to Clyde's Foolish Sibling. Clyde is reckless while Mark is the more level-headed sibling. This is even reflected in their powers; while Clyde was more uncontrolled and wild with his powers Mark is more precise, being able to generate a ball of hail and single bolts of lightning while indoors. |
| 115 | * GlassCannon: Like his brother, his powers don't make him immune to bullets, but he's more clever about using his powers to take out anyone that may take a shot. When Barry travels back in time, he is caught off guard and captured with near comical ease. |
| 116 | * AGodAmI: Much like his brother, though he's more subtle. |
| 117 | * {{Jerkass}}: Not counting [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes his brother]], Mardon is aggressive and confrontational with everyone he meets. In "Rogue Air", he tries to pick a fight with Nimbus just because, and just glares at Snart rather than thanking him for freeing him. |
| 118 | * KnightTemplarBigBrother: He responds at Joe shooting his brother via RoaringRampageOfRevenge. |
| 119 | * LastNameBasis: Team Flash mentions him as "Mardon", his nickname. |
| 120 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Epic as hell, extremely catchy, and a fan favorite. |
| 121 | * NearVillainVictory: He nearly annihilated the entirety of Central City in his first attack had Barry not {{Time Travel}}led and [[CosmicRetcon reset the timeline]]. |
| 122 | * NeverFoundTheBody: Clyde mentioned that he couldn't find him after their plane crashed during the Particle Accelerator incident. |
| 123 | * NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: While dangerous, he's only a threat to Barry if he can take him completely by surprise, if he has other metahumans backing him up, or if he can force Barry to not go on the attack by threatening hostages. Without one of these to stack the deck in his favor, Barry takes him down easily every time. |
| 124 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: The first metahuman to have the entire Central City at his mercy and is only stopped because Barry pushes the ResetButton via accidental TimeTravel. |
| 125 | * PragmaticAdaptation: In the comics, the Weather Wizard's powers came from a technological "wand" his brother Clyde invented, enabling weather manipulation. In the show, he's a metahuman. |
| 126 | * PromotionToParent: Clyde mentioned (in a flashback) that Mark raised him since he was 10 years old. |
| 127 | * RealMenWearPink: [[http://chroniclesofcisco.tumblr.com/post/115069609345/cinema-cisco He likes]] ''Film/MeanGirls''. |
| 128 | * RevengeBeforeReason: He concedes that Clyde [[AssholeVictim "was no saint,"]] but still feels driven to avenge him. |
| 129 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: He's really, ''really'' upset at Joe for killing Clyde. |
| 130 | * RoguesGalleryTransplant: In-universe. After the events of Season 1, he shows up on ''WesternAnimation/{{Vixen}}'' where he fights said titular hero, as well as the Flash and Firestorm. |
| 131 | * ShockAndAwe: He loves striking his opponents with lightning bolts. |
| 132 | * SuperiorSuccessor: Both he and his brother Clyde are metahumans with weather based powers, but Mark can control his to a much greater extent. He's able to summon single bolts of lightning, localize twisters in his hand, and create gigantic hale stones to bludgeon enemies with. |
| 133 | * TallDarkAndHandsome: Lampshaded word-per-word by Shawna Baez. |
| 134 | * TallDarkAndSnarky: Stands 6'2 and is a very [[{{Pun}} chilly]] person. |
| 135 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: Seems prone to this when it comes to anyone other than the Flash. He's fully aware that he needs to stack the deck in order to have a chance against Barry, but is pretty dismissive of both Captain Cold and the Trickster. He clearly doesn't like Snart, but also doesn't seem to realize that Snart's strategic planning abilities, tactical skills, cold gun, and ability to out-think his opponents would pretty much negate his weather powers. Hasn't bit him in the ass yet, but time will tell. |
| 136 | * UnexplainedRecovery: While he did say that he received grave injuries, he didn't specify how he was nursed back to health. |
| 137 | * WouldHurtAChild: He allies with The Trickster to give children explosives disguised as Christmas gifts. |
| 138 | * YouKilledMyFather: Joe killing his brother is his main reason for the RoaringRampageOfRevenge. |

| 146 | !!The Tricksters and Prank |
| 147 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 148 | !!Tropes that apply to these characters: |
| 149 | ---- |
| 150 | * CatchPhrase: They love adding "trick" or "tricked" into sentences, especially variants of "I tricked you". |
| 151 | * ChewingTheScenery: They're both very theatrical. |
| 152 | * DominoMask: The first Trickster used to wear one in his heyday, his successor wears them currently. |
| 153 | * {{Expy}}: The Trickster has always been the Flash's version of ComicBook/TheJoker, while Prank is ComicBook/HarleyQuinn. |
| 154 | * TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether: The first time the Trickster family [[Recap/TheFlash2014S1E17Tricksters appeared]] it was James and Axel causing mayhem in Central City. And [[Recap/TheFlash2014S4E11TheElongatedKnightRises in Season 4]], Zoey breaks Axel out of prison and they go on a crime spree together. Zoey actually drops the trope's name at the end of her debut episode. |
| 155 | * GigglingVillain: It doesn't take much to make those nutters laugh. It's genetic apparently. |
| 156 | * ILied: You can't trust a trickster. |
| 157 | * IntergenerationalFriendship: James and Axel are old enough to be father and son, which is exactly what they are. |
| 158 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://youtu.be/ptHSheQzO-8?t=2m10s All three of them share one]] which resembles a creepy circus theme. |
| 159 | * TheMadHatter: They're all crazy and know it. |
| 160 | * MonsterClown: They wear garish colors, joke around, and build weapons out of gags like gift boxes. |
| 161 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: James and Axel are father and son in this work, with Prank being Axel's mother. |
| 162 | * SlasherSmile: Just to point out the fact that they're both ObviouslyEvil. |
| 163 | * TheTrickster: Well, duh. |
| 164 | * VillainousFriendship: The two Tricksters seem to genuinely like each other and they turn out to be father and son. Subverted in that James is willing to leave Axel in jail to save himself. |
| 165 | * WouldHurtAChild: Axel's first attack is sending box bombs designed precisely to target children. James Jesse gives bombs in presents to children in his second appearance. |

| 181 | --> see Characters/ArrowverseOtherEarths page for his Earth-3 counterpart |
| 182 | ---- |
| 183 | * AdamWesting: Mark Hamill ChewingTheScenery as [[ComicBook/TheJoker a maniacally giggling DC villain]] prompts major nostalgia [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries for 90s kids]]. |
| 184 | * AdaptationalVillainy: The Trickster was a FriendlyEnemy of The Flash and not very violent. Here, he's essentially ComicBook/TheJoker, another DC villain role Mark Hamill is [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries famous for]] which is how he was portrayed in the [[Series/TheFlash1990 previous Flash show]]. |
| 185 | * AgeLift: This incarnation of the Trickster is notably older than prior versions, as well as Barry, because 63-year-old Hamill is playing him in live-action once more. |
| 186 | * AlliterativeName: '''J'''ames '''J'''esse. Also doubles as TwoFirstNames. |
| 187 | * AlternateSelf: There is no Trickster on Earth-2, but Earth-3 and [[Series/TheFlash1990 Earth-90]] each have its own versions of The Trickster, who both act more like [[PracticallyJoker Joker expies]]. |
| 188 | * AndStarring: Is credited with "Special Guest Star" citation in his appearances. |
| 189 | ** Mark Hamill being on the set had everyone take it up a notch, and it shows in both the high quality of the episode and the performances of the regulars. Even some of the actors who did not have scenes with Hamill, ''or semi-regulars who weren't in the episode at all'' were angling to try and get some screen time with him. |
| 190 | * BadassNormal: He's just a regular human with no superpowers, but through sheer cunning and bomb-making abilities he's able to bring The Flash to his mercy who, keep in mind, at this point now has the ability to ''travel back in time''. |
| 191 | * BadSanta: In the ChristmasEpisode, he disguises himself as Santa Claus in order to give children presents [[WouldHurtAChild with bombs]] [[ParanoiaFuel to put under their trees]] as part of his evil plan. |
| 192 | * BatmanGambit: He pretends to be outraged that someone is stealing his supervillain schtick, when actually he's in league with the new Trickster, who's distracting the police to break him out. |
| 193 | * BoxedCrook: Barry and Joe come asking for his help to stop [[LegacyCharacter a copycat Trickster]]. |
| 194 | * CardCarryingVillain: Being "the Trickster" is his life. |
| 195 | * CelebrityParadox: Cisco made ''Franchise/StarWars'' references quite a few times, which makes you wonder who played Luke Skywalker in the film(s) he saw. Heck, Jesse HIMSELF makes a ''Star Wars'' reference at one point. |
| 196 | * CompellingVoice: Managed to talk his psychiatrist into [[DrivenToSuicide committing suicide]]. |
| 197 | * CompositeCharacter: Thanks to Mark Hamill, this Trickster heavily takes characterization from the ComicBook/TheJoker. Though worth noting, his portrayal of the Trickster in the 1990s is actually what got him the role of the Joker in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''. |
| 198 | * DirtyCoward: In "[[Recap/TheFlash2014S2E9RunningToStandStill Running to Stand Still]]," he [[VillainTeamUp teams up with Mark Mardon]] and forces Barry into a SadisticChoice where Barry must let them kill him, or they will detonate 100 bombs in the houses of random families. Jesse waits until Mardon has beaten and greatly weakened Barry before attempting to stab Barry to death. However, Team Flash successfully gets rid of the bombs and tells Barry it's okay to fight now. Barry lights up with electricity. The moment Barry shows signs of strength again, Jesse [[ThisIsGonnaSuck totally loses his confidence]]. Justified because Jesse has no superhuman powers, unlike Barry and Mardon. Fortunately, Barry is a decent enough person ''not'' to kill Jesse in retaliation, even though Jesse wouldn't do the same for him. |
| 199 | * DirtyOldMan: Comes on to Iris despite being much older than her. |
| 200 | * DontExplainTheJoke: Has a habit to do this when nobody appreciated his humor. |
| 201 | * TheDreaded: At first nobody remembered who he was due to him being locked up for so long -- but after his little stick up at the Mayor's Gala he quickly regains his status as one of Central City's most feared criminals. |
| 202 | * EinsteinHair: He likes to ruffle up his hair, adding to his crazy look. |
| 203 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: His son Axel Walker, only for it to be subverted when James breaks out of prison and leaves Axel behind. Their initial partnership was only a whim on James' part. He's a dead-beat dad and always will be. |
| 204 | * EvilCounterpart: To Henry Allen, at least as a parent. James manipulated Axel to become a criminal and put him through constant danger just so he can be free again contrasting Henry who is [[MistakenForMurderer a mistaken criminal]] but repeatedly shuts down Barry's constant attempt to clear his name just so his son can live his life. |
| 205 | * EvilIsHammy: Mark Hamill is clearly having a blast playing his old role. |
| 206 | * EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: His M.O. |
| 207 | * EvilMentor: Towards his son Axel. |
| 208 | * EvilOldFolks: He is one of the Flash's most cunning enemies, aside from the Reverse-Flash. |
| 209 | * FauxAffablyEvil: He's very charming and polite to the point that you'd almost forget that he's a dangerous psychopath and that one time he almost murdered many children. |
| 210 | * FoodAsBribe: It's implied he'll only talk to visitors to his cell if he's given some red licorice to eat. |
| 211 | * ForTheEvulz: Apparently the way to keep him from killing Iron Heights guards was to give him cable TV, meaning he was evidently doing that out of boredom. |
| 212 | * GadgeteerGenius: A deranged example. He was able to build a kinetic bomb for starters. |
| 213 | * GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Breaks out a huge cigar when bragging about how he passed out hundreds of bombs to children. |
| 214 | * HiddenDepths: He cries after hearing Barry's inspirational speech to Patty about proving that she's better than the criminals they fight. |
| 215 | * IHaveYouNowMyPretty: He hits on Iris when holding her hostage. |
| 216 | * ImportantHaircut: After his successor broke him out of prison. |
| 217 | * ImpossiblyTackyClothes: As seen in "Tricksters", his costume during his original reign of terror in the early 90s was a garish mix of colours and patterns. It seems that The Trickster of [[Series/TheFlash1990 Earth-90]] is also drawn to this costume idea too. |
| 218 | * InsaneTrollLogic: When the Flash is at his mercy, he tells him that he will be the one who saves Central City by killing the hero. |
| 219 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Ultimately only cares about himself as he managed to escape from Iron Heights and left Axel there to rot. |
| 220 | * IWasQuiteAFashionVictim: His and Prank's outfits from the 90s are occasionally mocked by Team Flash. They have since moved on to more subdued fashion choices. |
| 221 | * KansasCityShuffle: A common specialty of his. He isn't called "The Trickster" for nothing. |
| 222 | * LargeHam: As expected from Creator/MarkHamill. |
| 223 | * LaughablyEvil: He may be a dangerous psycho, but he's just so gosh-darn entertaining. |
| 224 | * LukeIAmYourFather: To Axel Walker. Being played by [[Creator/MarkHamill Luke]] [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack himself]], he [[ActorAllusion plays this reveal for all it's worth]]. |
| 225 | * MovieSuperheroesWearBlack: In his younger days, he wore very loud, [[BrightIsNotGood bright colors]] that were offensively ugly. When he escapes, he changes into a classy suit with darker, muted colors with a pink flower on his buttonhole that, combined with his crazy hair, gives him the look of an old-fashioned standup comedian/sleazy game show host. Likely intentional on his part, in both cases. |
| 226 | * NonActionBigBad: To a degree. Trickster is fully aware he stands no chance in a straight fight against superpowered beings like the Flash, so he uses sneaky tactics to disable the Flash, while he goes and does his villaining. |
| 227 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Admits that he was touched by Barry's [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre speech to Patty]]. |
| 228 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: He's more dangerous than he seems. |
| 229 | * OminousMusicBoxTune: His {{Leitmotif}} is an eerie music box version of his theme from the 90's series. |
| 230 | * OutlawCouple: Used to be in one with Prank. It ended when he was arrested, while she escaped justice so she could raise their son. |
| 231 | * OhCrap: Usually has this reaction when his plans fail. |
| 232 | * PopCulturedBadass: Makes references to ''Series/BreakingBad'' and ''Film/{{Speed}}'', and is able to one-up the Flash and the police with his aforementioned BatmanGambit. |
| 233 | -->'''James Jesse:''' They gave me cable in prison so [[ForTheEvulz I'd stop killing the guards]]. |
| 234 | * PracticallyJoker: Mark Hamill is playing the Joker [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries again]] in everything but name, just like [[Series/TheFlash1990 in the 1990 Flash series]]. |
| 235 | * PredecessorVillain: Subverted. At first, it looks like he has no direct role in the story until halfway through when Axel breaks him out. Then it's revealed he's been planning his escape for a while and reveals himself to be the main villain of the episode. |
| 236 | * ShoutOut: When he tells Axel he's his father, [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack it's pretty clear what he's referencing]]. |
| 237 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: He seems to have a thing for red licorice vines. [[ActorAllusion Not unlike]] [[WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor Stickybeard]]. |
| 238 | * VillainExitStageLeft: Apparently he managed to escape from Iron Heights sometime during 2017. |
| 239 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:After his second appearance, the Trickster breaks out from prison offscreen during Season 3 and never shows up for the rest of the show, not even when his son and his girlfriend escape from prison. Considering how the series is over as of this writing, it's unlikely that the Trickster will ever appear again.]] |

| 252 | James Jesse's son, a copycat criminal who takes over his father's alias and modus operandi. |
| 253 | ---- |
| 254 | * AdaptationDyeJob: Bright blond hair in the comics, dark brown hair in the show. In his Season 4 appearance, he dyes the top of his hair yellow. |
| 255 | * AdaptationalHeroism: While Axel's still not a good guy in the TV show, his antics in the comics are so sociopathic that he's barely tolerated by the other rogues in general, and James Jesse in particular hates him. Here, he's clearly second to James in villainy, and otherwise isn't portrayed as particularly worse than most of the other rogues. |
| 256 | * AgeLift: The second Trickster is traditionally younger than Barry Allen in the comics, whereas 27-year-old Devon Graye, portraying 25 year old Axel, is older than both TV Barry and the actor who portrays him. |
| 257 | * AscendedFanboy: An admirer of James Jesse's "work". |
| 258 | * BastardBastard: Since he and his biological father don't share a surname; his mother was James' ex-lover. |

| 261 | * InTheBlood: James says this word for word when he says Axel was born to be the Trickster. |
| 262 | * LegacyCharacter: Walker takes his cues from the original Trickster, James Jesse. |
| 263 | * MadBomber: Has a penchant for using explosives. Must be a genetic thing with his dad James. |
| 264 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: His idol/father stole every scene in their [[AntagonistTitle eponymous episode]], making him OutOfFocus. His father didn't bother calling him in "Running To Stand Still". It happens ''again'' in his second appearance when his equally zany mother breaks him out of jail and proves to be more than a match for James' wackiness. |
| 265 | * SmugSnake: He's got the attitude to be the Trickster, but still lacks the skill. That's because he's just following James' instructions. |
| 266 | * WellDoneSonGuy: All he wants is James' love and attention -- he can't or won't acknowledge the fact his father is a dead-beat dad and always will be. |
| 267 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: There's no mention of him when his father returns in "Running to Stand Still," despite their apparent closeness making you think he'd try to include his son in his breakout; turns it's because he never cared about his son and their partnership was just a whim. |

| 281 | --> see Characters/TheFlash1990 page for her Earth-90 counterpart. |
| 282 | ---- |
| 283 | * AdaptationalBadass: Prank in the 90s series was a deluded fangirl, who James ultimately threw away when he grew bored with her and found her annoying. Here not only did she evade justice for decades, but she's even more dangerous than her former lover. |
| 284 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Unlike Jesse, she truly does love Axel -- trying to get him to see that James doesn't give a damn about him. |
| 285 | * {{Expy}}: Of Harley Quinn, although Prank actually appeared [[OlderThanTheyThink two years before Harley did]]. |
| 286 | * GoodParents: Raised Axel by herself and tried to make sure he never followed in his father's footsteps. Even when she stops taking her medicine and encourages Axel in his evil plans, it is evident she genuinely loves him. |
| 287 | * ImpossiblyTackyClothes: Just like James, her old costumes were brightly and loudly colored. |
| 288 | * MaskOfSanity: She seems to be a normal woman filled with regret of her past...until she stops taking her meds and turns into the Flash version of Harley Quinn! Might be a case of SplitPersonality. |

| 308 | -> ''"A helper? Is that what you think I am? A mindless minion carrying out her master's bidding? Some sort of evil secretary? No, Mr. Allen. I am now and forever will be my husband's partner."'' |
| 309 | |
| 310 | [=DeVoe=]'s assistant and wife. An engineer of peerless skill who builds the designs [=DeVoe=] comes up with. Over time, she becomes disillusioned by the man he becomes and ultimately decides to make things right and work with the Flash and his team to take him down. |
| 311 | ---- |
| 312 | * AllThereInTheManual: She's listed as the Mechanic in the credits, but was never called such in the show itself. |
| 313 | * AlternateCompanyEquivalent: She's basically a [[DistaffCounterpart female]] version of the [[Film/SpiderManHomecoming Tinkerer]], being TheDragon to the BigBad who makes all of his gadgets. |
| 314 | * AloofDarkHairedGirl: Mrs. [=DeVoe=] is always calm and always poised regardless of how bad the situation is. |
| 315 | * AmnesiaLoop: Is revealed to be in one due to her husband using a combination of the Weeper's tears and Dominic's mental power to alter her memories whenever she discovers that she's being drugged. Apparently this has happened many times since [=DeVoe=] started drugging her. |
| 316 | * AmoralAfrikaner: Much like her husband, she lacks the stereotypical traits of the trope, but does speak with a South African accent and helps her husband with her nefarious plans. Eventually subverted when she turns on him for going too far. |
| 317 | * ArchEnemy: Quickly establishes herself as one for Iris for going along with Clifford's plan to destroy Barry's life by framing him for his own murder. |
| 318 | * ArcWords: "I am nothing without you"/"You are nothing without me", words repeated between Clifford and Marlize to reflect their relationship and how it changes over time. |
| 319 | * BadassBookworm: She's an exceptional [[TheEngineer engineer]], boasting inventions of ImpossibleGenius caliber, yet she can fight with her own physical abilities just fine. |
| 320 | * BadassNormal: Is capable of wielding a high-tech katana with enough skill to deflect shots from a laser-rifle. |
| 321 | * BeingEvilSucks: Learns this the hard way after Clifford gratuitously murders Warden Wolfe, realizing that her husband is ''not'' the WellIntentionedExtremist he's been claiming to be but just another megalomaniac. She had her chance to walk away before her marriage was destroyed just like Barry warned her would happen. She refused, now she has to live her choices. |
| 322 | * BerserkButton: Don't insinuate that her husband treats her merely as his assistant rather than as a full-partner. Unfortunately for her, the former is probably true as Clifford gets more condescending and insufferable by the day. |
| 323 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: In public she presents the image of a kind, meek devoted wife but when in private she becomes a conniving bitch who rubs in Team Flash's faces that she and her husband can't be beat. This goes away after she grows increasingly horrified by her husband's mental state. |
| 324 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: By "Lose Yourself" this seems to be the case with her, given her seeming unwavering support for her husband throughout the episode and her efforts in the assault on S.T.A.R. Labs. We already saw in the previous episode that she [[AmnesiaLoop goes through cycles]] of realizing the depravity of her husband and wanting to escape, only for [=DeVoe=] to continue drugging her with the Weeper's tears. |
| 325 | * BreakTheHaughty: Her arrogant and compliant personality starts to wear down after seeing the monster her husband becomes. |
| 326 | * BrokenBird: Until her CynicismCatalyst, she was an idealistic engineer bent on ending world hunger. She laughed at her husband's pessimistic views and constantly challenged his ideas, culminating in her leaving him when she first found out about his plans. Look at her by the start of season 4, and you'll see how far gone she is from her original self after all the trauma she went through. |
| 327 | * CanonForeigner: Marlize is a character created for the show, although she may take inspiration from The Mechanic. |
| 328 | * ChefOfIron: Skilled with a katana? Check. Makes an amazing lemonade and 3-cheese mac? Check. |
| 329 | * ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: So far she has yet to be referred to as the Mechanic. |
| 330 | * CrocodileTears: She is able to very convincingly act out grief at her husband's alleged death during the Trial of Barry Allen. |
| 331 | * CynicismCatalyst: At first, she was horrified by her husband's grand scheme of brainwashing the entire world to avoid resource shortages and wars. She left him on the spot after learning of it and joined the Peace Corps, developing a water purifier which she hoped to test in an African village. When a nearby army heard of it, they came to the village and in front of Marlize they mowed down many inhabitants, including children, and stole the technology. The combined feeling of responsibility over the event, shock over its horror and relief when Clifford showed up to comfort her convinced her that he was right all along. |
| 332 | * TheEngineer: [=DeVoe=] makes all the plans and designs, while Marlize is the one who builds them for him. |
| 333 | * EtTuBrute: A villainous examples, where she betrays [[BigBad her husband]] and allies with Team Flash. Although, in her part, her husband technically turned on her first. |
| 334 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: When her husband hijacks Dominic's body, she's very uncomfortable during the whole process and despite telling Barry that she'd never leave her husband, she seems to be having second thoughts. She is also disgusted when her husband gratuitously murders Warden Wolfe, which she is appalled by and actually calls him out on. Eventually it's revealed she's not so evil after all, with the more atrocities her husband commits, the less supportive she becomes of him until eventually she abandons him, especially when he attempted to kill Gypsy for no good reason. |
| 335 | * EvilCounterpart: |
| 336 | ** To Iris. Both are capable and intelligent women who love and support a man who became a powerful meta by a combination of lightning and dark matter. But where Iris gives Barry emotional support and keeps Barry from going down dangerous and destructive paths, Marlize supports her husband primarily through her own scientific and engineering contributions, and willingly goes along and supports his dangerous plans. Perhaps because of their similarities, Iris is the one who confronts Marlize and gets through to her, making her realize the error of her ways. |
| 337 | ** To Cisco. Both serve as TheEngineer but are on opposing sides, with Cisco being on the hero's side who helps Team Flash, while Marlize aids [=DeVoe=] who is the BigBad. |
| 338 | * FaceHeelTurn: She was a genuinely good woman who did humanitarian aid with her technology before marrying Clifford. |
| 339 | * FakeGuestStar: She appears in nearly every single episode in which [=DeVoe=] appears [[note]]the sole exception being [[Recap/TheFlash2014S4E5GirlsNightOut Girl's Night Out]], in which Marlize is not present yet [=DeVoe=] appears in one scene, TheStinger.[[/note]], yet receives guest billing whereas Neil Sandilands receives main billing. In fact, Kim Engelbrecht appears in ''more'' episodes than Neil Sandilands, after the latter's character begins switching bodies and is thus portrayed by other actors. |
| 340 | * GadgeteerGenius: She was the one who built [=DeVoe=]'s Thinking Cap based on his designs. She also designed and built his CoolChair as well as the Samuroid. |
| 341 | * GoodAllAlong: As immoral as she seems at first, [[WellIntentionedExtremist she genuinely was under the belief]] that what [=DeVoe=] had planned was for the greater good. [[EveryoneHasStandards There is a line she simply will not cross]], and once [=DeVoe=] does, she can no longer associate herself with her husband and abandons him. |
| 342 | * HappilyMarried: Marlize and Clifford love each other deeply, and she has been supportive of him when he gets handicapped. Sadly, Clifford has crossed the line with his body possessions and is drugging her with The Weeper's tears |
| 343 | * HeelFaceTurn: She eventually abandons [=DeVoe=], no longer being able to tolerate the level of evil he has sunken to and allies with Team Flash to bring her husband down. To atone for her involvement in The Thinker's plans she resumes her humanitarian aid. |
| 344 | * HeelRealization: Discovering that [=DeVoe=] had been drugging her with the Weeper's tears is what first alerted her to how awful a person he was, although she wasn't able to make progress on this with [=DeVoe=] constantly erasing her memories. She has another one that sticks after watching [=DeVoe=] take several innocent lives of people who were in his way, where she finally works up the courage to escape him. |
| 345 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: After helping to take down [=DeVoe=], she goes to resume her philanthropic work. |
| 346 | * ItsAllAboutMe: At first, it seems like she only cares for herself and her husband; she won't shed a tear for anyone who ends up as collateral damage because of their EvilPlan. Subverted when she is revealed to be a WellIntentionedExtremist whose CynicismCatalyst has tainted her drive to end world hunger. From her fanatical point of view, she and her husband are doing the world a favor. That is until [=DeVoe=] crosses a line and she realizes the Thinker [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist was never as righteous as he had let on]], unlike the man she used to know and love, which eventually leads to her abandoning him. |
| 347 | * {{Jerkass}}: She ''relishes'' ruining Team Flash's life and gloating that they can't stop her. Subverted once she becomes jaded by Clifford's actions. |
| 348 | * KarmaHoudini: Downplayed in that while she still willingly played a part in her husband's earlier scheming and endangered the lives of many, she realizes she'll have to live with it for the rest of her life. |
| 349 | * LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Often argues with [=DeVoe=] and loses, always. |
| 350 | * LoveMakesYouEvil: She is willing to help her evil husband in his plans out of love. Later subverted in that she realizes [=DeVoe=] has crossed a line and no longer wants anything to do with him. |
| 351 | * LovingAShadow: She fell in love with Clifford when she saw him as a brilliant man who had dedicated his life to making the world a better place. She leaves him when she realizes that he's become a murderous abuser and that, once he became the Thinker, he was only ever out to make the world a better place for ''himself''. Even then, she hopes the good she saw in him before his transformation was real and can be rekindled, but while Barry's JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind proves there was once a good [=DeVoe=], [[DeathOfPersonality he is now dead]]. |
| 352 | * ManipulativeBitch: While not as much as her husband, Marlize is also very skilled at playing people. Best shown with her CrocodileTears that convince the police that she's a protective wife worried about her husband, while she manages to fool the whole court into thinking she is a grieving widow during the Trial of the Flash. |
| 353 | * MoralityPet: She is this to her husband [=DeVoe=], as for the longest time she is the only one who can make him relinquish killing. [=DeVoe=] also delays his plans to launch the Enlightenment out of grief of losing her. |
| 354 | * NumberTwo: To her husband. She often questions her husband's plans and points out possible mistakes, but will follow his orders regardless. |
| 355 | * PsychicBlockDefense: Not enjoying [=DeVoe=] invading her mind, Marlize starts playing "Goin' Out of My Head" to keep him from hearing her thoughts. |
| 356 | * RememberTheNewGuy: Much like her husband, she was only introduced in Season 4. However she was present at the Particle Accelerator Press Conference, having spoken directly to Eobard Thawne and would have been noticed by many others. |
| 357 | * SupremeChef: Her ability to cook delicious macaroni is quickly noted by [=DeVoe=] and Team Flash. |
| 358 | * ThatManIsDead: By proxy; she doesn't consider [=DeVoe=] to be the man she loved anymore, declaring that her husband was the Thinker's first victim. It becomes very literal when Barry [[JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind enters]] [=DeVoe=]'s mind and finds the "good [=DeVoe=]" [[DeathOfPersonality has been killed]] by the "evil [=DeVoe=]". |
| 359 | * TookALevelInKindness: After her HeelRealization on what a horrible person [=DeVoe=] really was. She becomes increasingly sympathetic to the lives of others that [=DeVoe=] kills and even turns on him to side with Team Flash. |
| 360 | * UndyingLoyalty: Will do whatever her husbands asks of her, no matter what it is. But even she has her limits, where after watching her husband commit countless murders, she can no longer stand with him and escapes. She still tries to save him from himself until the very last episode of Season Four. |
| 361 | * UnholyMatrimony: With [=DeVoe=]. While the two's path to villainy stemmed from a noble cause to save his life, she and her husband are clearly in love and respect one another. |
| 362 | * WhatTheHellHero: After the reveal that she was GoodAllAlong and genuinely a WellIntentionedExtremist, several characters call her out on how she could be so deluded into believing all of her assisting [=DeVoe=] could have been better for humanity. |

| 411 | * BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: In "Harry and the Harrisons" where she is recruited by Team Flash, they keep trying to stop her from killing any of the metas they go up against, including Norvock. She agrees, but for her trouble she still cuts out Norvock's eye tentacle. |
| 412 | * BigBadEnsemble: While [=DeVoe=] is the main threat, Amunet constantly causes trouble Team Flash throughout the season and forcing them to detour from their main goal to deal with her. |
| 413 | * BigBadWannabe: That said, she totally pales in comparison to [=DeVoe=]. |
| 414 | * BookDumb: According to her, she came from a lower-class background and worked a menial job as a stewardess before rebuilding herself as a vicious, calculating crime boss. |
| 415 | * CardCarryingVillain: She makes no attempt to hiding how horrible a person she is, proudly admitting she has no heart. |
| 416 | * ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Her comics title of "Blacksmith" goes unused here. Then again, Amunet Black isn't her real name, so she technically is using a codename after all. |
| 417 | * DrunkOnTheDarkside: She was once a stewardess in what she describes as a hard and abusive position. Once she gained powers she embraced them and gleefully turned to a life of crime. |
| 418 | * EarlyBirdCameo: She was mentioned a few times to Caitlin before finally appearing in person. |
| 419 | * ElementalBaggage: She carries around a bag of metal shards to use her powers on. |
| 420 | * EnemyMine: Team Flash is forced to recruit her in "Harry and the Harrisons" upon realizing she's the only one immune to [=DeVoe=]'s powers. |
| 421 | * EvilBrit: Creator/KateeSackhoff [[FakeBrit uses a]] British accent for the character. |
| 422 | * EvilVersusOblivion: After Caitlin points out that [=DeVoe=]'s EvilPlan would affect her too, she does decide to subtly help Team Flash to stop [=DeVoe=]'s satellite by providing them with a concussive ball of her shrapnel. However, she makes it clear she's doing so only for the sake of self-preservation. |
| 423 | * EvilWearsBlack: It's even part of her name. |
| 424 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Plays up her charming personality, dishing out an AffectionateNickname to everyone around her, but when cornered, drops the facade and reveals the demon underneath. |
| 425 | * {{Foil}}: To Goldface, her [[SlapSlapKiss off and on lover]] and fellow Crime Lord. She's [[EvilBrit British]] to his North American upbringing. She's FauxAffablyEvil to his genuine AffablyEvil attitude, and is notably more [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] than Goldface who [[EvenEvilHasStandards demonstrates standards]]. While both [[EvilIsHammy love putting on a show]], Amunet has an [[SmugSnake overly high opinion of herself]] that often gets the better of her, whereas Goldface is a CrazyPrepared ManipulativeBastard. Even their respective EnemyMine moments with Team Flash are framed in different circumstances, with Amunet doing so [[EvilVersusOblivion out of self-preservation]] while Goldface verges into a NobleDemon who sticks to PragmaticVillainy. Their shared NoHonourAmongThieves mentality, ruthlessness' and [[DamnItFeelsGoodToBeAGangster absolute glee and delight at being Crime Lords]] are what they share. Even their own meta abilities are drastically different while still being [[ExtraOreDinary fundamentally]] [[MagnetismManipulation similar.]] |
| 426 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: Used to be a stewardess, and her first victims after gaining her powers were colleagues who sexually harassed her. |
| 427 | * AGodAmI: Believes she and Killer Frost could be this if they joined forces. |
| 428 | * HunterOfHisOwnKind: She traffics metahumans, and is a metahuman herself. |
| 429 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: It at first seems that at the very least, Amunet follows all her deals through. In the case of Caitlin, however, she gave her a placebo and lied about it being a cure for her powers. |
| 430 | * LesserOfTwoEvils: Alongside [=DeVoe=], which is why Team Flash is forced to recruit her once they find out she's immune to his powers. |
| 431 | * MagnetismManipulation: Has the ability to manipulate and weaponize a certain type of metal. |
| 432 | * MsFanservice: Wears tight dresses that reveal her cleavage. Being played by Katee Sackhoff certainly doesn't hurt. |
| 433 | * NominalHero: Recruited by Team Flash to fight [=DeVoe=], the [[EvilerThanThou greater evil]]. She eventually agrees to help, but makes it clear [[EvilVersusOblivion she's only doing so out of self-preservation]]. |
| 434 | * ObviouslyEvil: It's quite easy to pick up she's not a nice person early on, with her style of clothes, her CreepyShadowedUndereyes, and her pale complexion. This appears to be [[CardCarryingVillain intentional on her part]]. |
| 435 | * PetTheDog: She gives Caitlin a genuine motivational YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre speech so that she can operate on Dominic Lance. |
| 436 | * PowerFist: Her preferred use of her powers is to craft a makeshift giant metallic glove. |
| 437 | * PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: Turns out she's a fan of NWA. |
| 438 | * RememberTheNewGuy: She had no mention at all prior to Season Four, but Caitlin/Killer Frost was already well-acquainted with her by the time of her debut. |
| 439 | * SelectiveMagnetism: As powerful as her abilities are, they can be negated in the face of an even stronger magnet. She also seems limited to a specific kind of alnico alloy. |
| 440 | * SlapSlapKiss: With Goldface, her ex. |
| 441 | * SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Her treatment of the Weeper, chaining him up, leaving him emaciated and having him regularly beaten to produce his drug tears slightly unnerves even Killer Frost. |
| 442 | * SpannerInTheWorks: She and Warden Wolfe's scheme to sell off Barry and all the Bus Metas in ''True Colors'' turns out to be a major disruption in [=DeVoe's=] carefully laid plans. |
| 443 | * SwissArmySuperpower: Her SelectiveMagnetism over her Alnico alloy actually has a wide application of uses. She can use it to form a protective gauntlet around her arm, fire them off like projectiles, create a protective shield, generate a cyclone to allow her to travel, and even create grenades powerful enough to destroy a satellite. |
| 444 | * TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: In her civilian disguise she doesn't look anywhere near as creepy as she usually does, and passes off as someone normal. |
| 445 | * UnexplainedAccent: Seems to have a Trans-Atlantic accent, which is (fittingly) entirely artificial. That, or it's either Sackhoff's best attempt at British. |
| 446 | * UnholyMatrimony: She and Goldface were a couple in the past. With some help from Flash, Mirror Iris and an AppliedPhlebotinum plant, they get back together in "[[ValentinesDayEpisodes Love Is A Battlefield]]". |
| 447 | * VillainousBreakdown: Quickly drops her smugness when things don't go her way. |
| 448 | * WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency: In "Don't Run", Amunet states she was nice to Caitlin just for not killing her. |
| 449 | * WeWillMeetAgain: Threatens Caitlin/Killer Frost she will have her vengeance the next time they meet. |

| 461 | Amunet's third-favorite henchman who became a meta when the particle accelerator explosion went off and had a snake infused into his skull at the local zoo. |
| 462 | ---- |
| 463 | * AnArmAndALeg: Or tentacle in this case. Rather than killing him, Amunet resorts to cutting out his tentacle. |
| 464 | * AwesomeButImpractical: A snake eye sure sounds useful and menacing, but he can't fight for shit and gets beaten up by girls with no powers. But then [[TookALevelInBadass his powers got an upgrade]]. |
| 465 | * TheBusCameBack: Returns in Season 5, as one of the metas targeted by Cicada. |
| 466 | * ButtMonkey: He gets the short end of the stick in almost everyone of his appearances, doing horribly in fights and almost always getting hurt bad. His luck gets even worse after Cicada comes after him. |
| 467 | * ChekhovsGunman: He's seen passing by Caitlin in "The Flash Reborn" without any indication he would be a significant character, however by the end of the episode he's revealed to work for Killer Frost's former boss Amunet, and tries to stop her from leaving...with little success. |
| 468 | * TheDragon: Used to be a [[CoDragons Co-Dragon]] with Caitlin before the latter quit. Later becomes TheStarscream. |

| 471 | * GoKartingWithBowser: He serves as a DJ for Killer Frost's birthday, as she never had one. |

| 473 | * LovecraftianSuperpower: His power is a snake that comes out of his ''eye socket''. |
| 474 | * NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: He used to be a zookeeper. At the night of the accelerator explosion, he saved a kid from a snake. He ended up with the snake in his head after the explosion hit him. |
| 475 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: He was initially so pathetic in battle he might as well have been a JokeCharacter, but then he TookALevelInBadass and he proves to be quite dangerous on his own. |
| 476 | * TookALevelInBadass: After [[DragonAscendant taking over Amunet's organization]], he developed a weapon to counter his former employer's powers and his own powers evolved into being able to produce a venom strong enough to incapacitate the Flash. |
| 477 | * TookALevelInKindness: In Season 5, after helping Flash rescue Metas at risk from Cicada. |
| 478 | * UnexplainedRecovery: Seems to have regained his powers in Season 5. |

| 502 | A metahuman with liquid gold inside his body which he can use to become invulnerable or heal injuries. He runs an illegal weapons market in Central City, as well as having a complicated relationship with fellow Meta-criminal Amunet Black. |
| 503 | ---- |
| 504 | * AffablyEvil: He is so polite that sometimes it can be easy to forget he is an immoral black market dealer. |
| 505 | * AlienBlood: When he's knocked out via electrocution, liquid gold pours from his eyes. |
| 506 | * ArmsDealer: Runs a black market on illicit tech in Central City. He's planning on moving into organ trafficking in his debut. |
| 507 | * BenevolentBoss: He maintains a very polite and kind demeanor to his men. This is not just an act, as they all participate in VillainsOutShopping moments. |
| 508 | * CelebrityParadox: Both Marvel comics and the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' have been referenced in the Arrowverse before. Goldface's actor was the first one to play Thanos before Creator/JoshBrolin took over. |
| 509 | * ChainPain: Can expand the gold chain he wears into a long whip, and is very skilled at battling with it. |
| 510 | * ColorMotif: Gold, due to his ExtraOreDinary powers. He likes adorning his clothes and buildings with the color as much as possible. |
| 511 | * EnemyMine: He agrees to team-up with Barry in Season 9 to stop the Rogues, who were a threat to him, with Goldface citing "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". |
| 512 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Goldface really did love Amunet, and both of them end up discovering this by reading each other's minds. |
| 513 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: |
| 514 | ** He seems appalled when asked if he's going to rob a hospital, stating he isn't a monster. He clarifies he's going to steal the 3D artificial organ printer before it even reaches the hospital, while it's still in the labs. |
| 515 | ** Messing around with time travel is crossing the line for him, and he quickly agrees to team up with Barry on stopping Red Death's Rogues in attempting to build a Cosmic Treadmill, even if [[EvilVersusOblivion it's out of self-preservation]]. |
| 516 | * EvilIsHammy: In Barry's own words "[Goldface] loves making an entrance", always going for flashy theatrics whenever he steps onto the scene. |
| 517 | * EvilSoundsDeep: He may be AffablyEvil, but he still has a deep voice courtesy of Damion Poitier. |
| 518 | * ExtraOreDinary: Has gold manipulation powers, apparently sourced from his bones, that gives him the ability to heal his flesh, armor it with gold or to modify gold accessories into weapons. |
| 519 | * FriendlyEnemy: He seems to have transitioned to this by Season 9, greeting "the Chemist" (as he calls Barry) like an old friend and is quite quick in agreeing to a team-up upon hearing Barry's proposal. |
| 520 | * GeniusBruiser: One of the most competent crime lords in Central City, given how long he's managed to stay off the CCPD's radar, and even when he does get captured he's able to quickly weasel his way out. Incidentally, he went to Yale. |
| 521 | * HealingFactor: Can heal the skin above his gold coated bones. |
| 522 | * HiddenDepths: The final season shows he is familiar with the works of Creator/EdgarAllanPoe with his referencing the final words of ''The Masque of the Red Death''. |
| 523 | * IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten: He does this to test whether Barry is truly a criminal, by making him participate in a heist to rob a valuable hospital machine. Barry (and Ralph) ultimately can't go through with it, blowing their cover. |
| 524 | * LaughablyEvil: A lot of his dialogue can either be so witty or so silly it's hard not to laugh. |
| 525 | * LogicalWeakness: Due to being made of gold, he is vulnerable to electricity. Barry and Ralph exploit this. |
| 526 | * NighInvulnerability: Can become as durable as gold. |
| 527 | * NominalHero: By Season 9 he transitions to this, still being a firm villain but willingly joining with the heroes against a common enemy. |
| 528 | * ParryingBullets: He is able to use his gold-chain to deflect boomerangs thrown by Captain Boomerang II, something which earns Mercer's respect. |
| 529 | * PragmaticVillain: He never wastes time with unnecessary torment or torture, going straight to the point on what he wants and will leave no one hurt if he doesn't have to. |
| 530 | * RaceLift: The Goldface in the comics is white. He's black here. |
| 531 | * RoguesGalleryTransplant: Played with. While Goldface has fought the Flash in the comics, he is chiefly a Green Lantern villain, with his gold coloration specifically tailored to the Power Ring weakness of the color yellow. |
| 532 | * UnbreakableBones: His skull is shown to be coated in a gold-like substance. |
| 533 | * UnholyMatrimony: He and Amunet were a couple in the past. With some help of Flash, Iris and an AppliedPhlebotinum plant, they get back together in 2020's [[ValentinesDayEpisodes Valentine's Day Episode]]. It actually lasts for a while, with them still being together after 2 years, but it doesn't stick to the very end of the show's run. |

| 547 | * TheConsigliere: He's Goldface's right-hand man who makes sure to keep their organization running like clockwork. |
| 548 | * DeadpanSnarker: Sometimes rolls his eyes at his boss's theatrical antics. |
| 549 | * HyperCompetentSidekick: While Goldface is by no means incompetent, Goldface is more skilled at being TheFace and specializes on stoking a charismatic public image. Carver on the other hand handles the management side and keep tabs on the internal workings of the organization. |
| 550 | * NoNonsenseNemesis: He doesn't quite share his boss's love for the theatrics, thinking it's more efficient to just kill the hostage without giving a countdown. |
| 551 | * OneSteveLimit: He is not to be confused with Joseph Carver the leader of Black Hole, who debuts one season later than him. |
| 552 | * StraightMan: He plays the more serious voice of reason to his boss's more hammy, theatrical nature. |
| 553 | * UndyingLoyalty: Is fiercely loyal to Goldface through thick and thin. |

| 566 | The leader of Eden Corps, an eco-terrorist cult. |
| 567 | ---- |
| 568 | * CharacterAsDevice: Her main purpose was an excuse to give a whole episode dedicated to Flashtime. She otherwise gets very little focus as a character. |

| 583 | * BodyHorror: As zombie-like creatures this is already a given, though these ones being {{Artificial Zombie}}s have the added apparel of Ramsey’s black blood oozing from them. In addition, many of them end up dissolving into piles of black goo where they leave behind an EmptyPilesOfClothing. |
| 584 | * EmptyPilesOfClothing: When a Blood Brother leaves Ramsey's proximity for too long, they eventually dissolve into pools of black gooey blood while leaving behind the clothes they wore. |
| 585 | * InNameOnly: They have no relation to the Blood Brothers from the comics. |
| 586 | * OurZombiesAreDifferent: The fourth instance of zombies in the Arrowverse, these ones being {{Technically Living Zombie}}s resulting from experimental dark matter and chemicals. The previous instances were [[CameBackWrong Tony Woodard]], the [[TheVirus zombie confederates]], and the [[TheGrimReaper Black Flash]]. |
| 587 | * PsychicLink: All of the Blood Brothers share a telepathic connection with Bloodwork. |

| 604 | ->''"I will never accept death. Not like you did."'' |
| 605 | A former colleague of Caitlin Snow whose experiments transform him into a metahuman with the power to control blood. |
| 606 | ---- |
| 607 | * ActuallyNotAVampire: He has [[BloodyMurder blood-based powers]], needs to feed on blood to survive, is an ImmortalitySeeker, and his victims are either transformed or reanimated as zombie-like creatures under his command. |
| 608 | * AdaptationalBackstoryChange: His origin is largely reinvented for the show. His hemophilia is changed to HLH cancer and is given a recently deceased mother as motivation. |
| 609 | * AdaptationalJobChange: As noted below, he goes from a CCPD coroner to a medical researcher. |
| 610 | * AdaptationOriginConnection: Played with. In the comics, he is a lab technician for the Central City Police Department, and thus Barry Allen's coworker. In the show, he is Caitlin's old friend from school. |
| 611 | * AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: While his main power is [[BloodyMurder controlling blood]], much like his comics counterpart, there is one key power he is missing which is controlling the blood of ''others''. This was one of the main advantages comics Bloodwork had over the Flash by warping the blood within the speedster, while this Bloodwork can only control his own blood and needs to infect others first before he gets power over them. |
| 612 | * AffablyEvil: He has firmly switched over to this as of Season 9, being incredible polite and charming when he speaks, with all signs pointing that he is being truthful. |
| 613 | * AlliterativeName: '''R'''amsey '''R'''osso. |
| 614 | * AppliedPhlebotinum: The secret ingredient to his cure for cancer? Dark matter of course. |
| 615 | * ArcVillain: For the first half of Season 6, subtitled ''Blood and Truth''. |
| 616 | * AscendedExtra: Bloodwork is a very new villain, who had only been directly featured (barring flashbacks or illusions) in a single four-issue arc in 2017 by the time of his debut in the TV series. Here he’s been upgraded to the first ArcVillain of Season Six. |
| 617 | * BigBadFriend: He and Caitlin were old friends prior to his obsession with curing HLH turning him evil. |
| 618 | * BigBadSlippage: What sets him apart from previous Big Bads is that he's not the villain when we first meet him. His obsession with curing HLH, while obsessive, was still well-intentioned. However, using himself as a guinea pig and that obsession growing causes him to take measures that go against the oath all doctors go by, namely "Do No Harm". |
| 619 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: He appears to kindheartedly reach out to Caitlin while grieving for his mother, only for him to use the opportunity to solicit her help in his dark matter experiment and turn nasty when she refuses. He even seems to hold a great deal of contempt for his mother. |
| 620 | * BlackEyesOfEvil: His eyes change to pure black to indicate his metahuman status, and he's the main antagonist of the first half of Season 6. |
| 621 | * BloodyMurder: His main power is controlling blood, which he is able to shoot out. |
| 622 | * BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:His final fate in Season 9, due to the Spectre's intervention, where all of his infected blood is cured and he becomes human again. Only that he doesn't get to enjoy it thanks to a life sentence.]] |
| 623 | * CastingGag: A scientist researching superpowers with good intentions, whose screw-ups end up causing grief for everyone? Rosso is basically the Arrowverse version of [[Series/{{Heroes}} Mohinder Suresh]]. |
| 624 | * CompositeCharacter: He takes Reverse-Flash's place as the one who would infect the Flash and turn him BrainwashedAndCrazy complete with black colored lightning, dubbed Dark Flash[[note]]though appearance-wise he is based on Negative Flash from the comics[[/note]]. |
| 625 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: |
| 626 | ** Unlike Orlin, who was a middle-class factory worker without much education, Rosso is a brilliant doctor. |
| 627 | *** Also, while Cicada gained his (and later [[LegacyCharacter her]]) powers completely by accident, in Bloodwork's case it was a direct result of experimenting on himself with Dark Matter. |
| 628 | *** Lastly, while both were DrivenToVillainy by the deaths of their family and their attempts to prevent it from happening to anyone else, the causes and reactions were pretty much opposite to each other. Cicada's family was killed in an accident caused by metas, which resulted in a quest to kill metas to stop it from happening again. In contrast Rosso's mother died for relatively mundane reasons (i.e. cancer), and rather than wanting to kill them, he wants to ''make'' people metas in order to save them. |
| 629 | ** Downplayed with all other major villains as he is a MadScientist. Also with [=DeVoe=] in particular, as a WellIntentionedExtremist. |
| 630 | ** He is the first ArcVillain to avert SuperheroMovieVillainsDie as he gets incarcerated alive rather than being killed, {{Ret Gone}}d, or receiving a FateWorseThanDeath. |
| 631 | ** He's the first BigBad to have no connection to lightning. Thawne, Zoom, Savitar and [=DeVoe=] all got their powers after being struck by lightning or [[ShockAndAwe electricity]], and the Cicadas used a lightning shaped dagger as their [[WeaponSpecialization signature weapon]]. Bloodwork on the other hand got his powers via his personal experimentation. |
| 632 | * CureForCancer: His ultimate goal which overlaps with ImmortalitySeeker. |
| 633 | * DarkMessiah: While he doesn't quite [[AGodAmI declare himself a god]], he does see himself as a savior of humanity and granting everyone with his "life eternal". |
| 634 | * DrunkOnTheDarkSide: The well-meaning scientist seen early in the season is all but gone and is soon replaced by a maniacal SerialKiller who thirsts for blood and is concerned with no one but himself. |
| 635 | * EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Played with. He has nothing but disgust for his mom for coming to terms with her pending death. However, in flashbacks, he was clearly close with her before that and he even murders Dr. Rodrigo, his colleague, for being unable to save her. |
| 636 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: He shows disgust at seeing Eva's willingness to sacrifice the Reflections she made. |
| 637 | * EvilBrit: He's depicted as this, possibly as a British Indian. |
| 638 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: Due to his extreme fear of death, he genuinely has no idea as to why people can accept or even embrace it for the better good. |
| 639 | * EvilCounterpart: |
| 640 | ** Built up as one to Barry, in that both are great scientists, both lost a loved one (including their mothers) and both are facing an upcoming death. The contrast is that Barry is willing to die if that means saving his loved ones and other people, while Ramsey is willing to kill anyone to save his life. Also while both were granted powers in the lab, Barry was TheChosenOne and at times [[BeingGoodSucks views his powers as a burden]] as he didn’t ask to get chosen, while Ramsey gave himself his powers and ends up being DrunkOnTheDarkSide. |
| 641 | ** In certain scenes, he ends up being one to Ralph. Both of them have powers that allow them to have ExtendableArms and body distortion, while also capable of {{Building Swing}}ing. Ramsey even points out to Ralph that both of their powers work at a molecular level. |
| 642 | * EvilFormerFriend: He becomes this to Caitlin. |
| 643 | * EvilGloating: He makes sure to bring Cisco and Iris in front of him so that he can gloat about his EvilPlan and make them understand the scope of their failure. |
| 644 | * EvilMakesYouUgly: His SuperMode is that of a gigantic blood behemoth with a skull-like head, fangs, and a body that's covered in blotched blood vessels and an almost tumor-like in appearance. |
| 645 | * EvilutionaryBiologist: Genuinely seeks to improve humanity through biology. |
| 646 | * FatalFlaw: The same thing that drives his immoral actions, his ''crippling'' fear of death, makes him sloppy and short-sighted. |
| 647 | * FinalBoss: He's the last Pre-Crisis villain that Team Flash has to fight. |
| 648 | * {{Foil}}: To [=DeVoe=], in the sense that both are {{Evil Genius}}es who believe [[MoralMyopia they are doing the right thing]] and improving humanity, as well as seeing Team Flash as the true evil. Both also had some motivation in their past to drive them down this track of thinking. Both also had no secrets about their secret identity and we find out who they are very quickly. The difference between them however is, [=DeVoe=] [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes had a loved one]] who he dearly cared for but ended up becoming detached from her after [[LackOfEmpathy losing his sense of empathy]], while Ramsey straight from the start turned on his mother and had nothing but disgust towards her accepting death. |
| 649 | * ForScience: Not his number one motivation for evildoing, but definitely one of them. |
| 650 | * GlassCannon: In his first Bloodwork form. While he possesses a lot of offensive power, it doesn't take much to bring him down. Averted with his SuperMode however, where he's substantially tougher and actually overwhelms The Flash in battle. |
| 651 | * GodIsEvil: Not him, rather the metaphysical copy of him in Barry's mind thinks so in the case of the Speed Force, dismissing it as nothing but a manipulative force that cares nothing for human lives or feelings. Of course, he learned about the Speed Force from the perspective of Barry, who has had an (at best) rocky relationship with it. |
| 652 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: His plan of infecting Barry backfired on him, as [[spoiler:Barry foresaw that Cisco and Iris would figure the solution and he would make him hallucinate about his mother]]. |
| 653 | * {{Hypocrite}}: He considered his mother and Barry cowards for accepting that they were going to die instead of fighting it, when he himself is the true coward. |
| 654 | * ImmortalitySeeker: His endgame is to prevent death itself for ''everyone''. Once he has the power to prevent death, he dubs himself, "Life eternal". |
| 655 | * InterimVillain: Slightly downplayed as he is a dangerous and full-fledged BigBad but Team Flash treat him as a just another bad guy they have to take down while they wait for the much higher-stakes Crisis, an event that makes Ramsey's defeat practically a ForegoneConclusion. |
| 656 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Russo talks big about how he wants to save mankind, but how quickly he dives into supervillain territory, killing others to acquire the biological samples he needs to cure his own disease, proves he values never having to die himself more than anyone else's lives. |
| 657 | * KnightOfCerebus: WordOfGod has described him as "the most chilling villain Team Flash has ever faced." |
| 658 | * LaughablyEvil: His return in Season 9, makes him a lot less serious and has him cracking more jokes, such as a ImagineSpot in Barry's mind where he acts as the director of Barry's life. |
| 659 | * LovecraftianSuperpower: His [[BloodyMurder blood powers]] allow him to produce tendrils made of his black gooey blood. He can also infect people and [[BrainwashedAndCrazy take over their mind]] where they become zombie-like slaves at his command, ''including'' The Flash. His powers also function like a [[ActuallyNotAVampire vampire's]] whereby he feeds on the blood of others to augment himself and increase his own life. His endgame is to infect the world and put them under his command. |
| 660 | * MadScientist: He experimented on himself - testing a cure for cancer using dark matter - to acquire his powers. |
| 661 | * ManipulativeBastard: Upon his return in Season 9, he demonstrates a lot of skill in psychologically getting into someone's head, [[spoiler:successfully corrupting Wally and turning him against Barry.]] |
| 662 | * MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Very shady indeed even before his transformation. |
| 663 | * MeaningfulName: Rosso means "red" in Italian. Fitting for someone who can control and manipulate blood. |
| 664 | * MoralMyopia: He sees himself as AboveGoodAndEvil and that the true evil is death, along with anyone who tries to stop him like the so-called heroes of Team Flash. |
| 665 | * MortalityPhobia: Being afraid of being killed by cancer like his mother seems to be his prime motivation. |
| 666 | * {{Necromancer}}: The strange nature of his powers causes any of the victims he kills to be brought back to life as zombie drones who are under his command. |
| 667 | * NotMeThisTime: An odd example in that he even surprises himself; he's taken aback when he learns that despite his run-ins with the Flash, he had nothing to do with his death in any timeline Team Flash knew about. |
| 668 | * ObviouslyEvil: The black branches on his body and his black nails on top of his creepy voice make him look like a corrupting devil. Which wouldn't be too far from the truth. |
| 669 | * OneSteveLimit: Averted with the Bus Meta Ramsey Deacon a.k.a. Kilg%re. |
| 670 | * OneWingedAngel: Transforms into a hideous monstrosity in his fight with the Flash. |
| 671 | * PainfulTransformation: His initial transformation into Bloodwork is shown to be rather agonizing. |
| 672 | * PowerEchoes: In his Bloodwork form, his voice is given a reverb effect. |
| 673 | * ThePowerOfBlood: His main gimmick is being able to control blood. |
| 674 | * ProfessorGuineaPig: Like every comic-book MadScientist ever, he gains his powers by experimenting on himself. |
| 675 | * RaceLift: He's portrayed as Asian as opposed to his white (possibly Italian) comic counterpart. |
| 676 | * RememberTheNewGuy: Introduced already as an old friend of Caitlin, who even Barry knew, yet he was never previously brought up ever in the series. |
| 677 | * ReturningBigBad: After serving as the ArcVillain of the first half of Season 6, he plays the long game and returns as the main threat of the pseudo-crossover episode of Season 9 where he now threatens the whole Multiverse. |
| 678 | * SuperMode: Able to transform into a gigantic monster form. |
| 679 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He returns to the trend of a MadScientist villain and creates metas. |
| 680 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Believes what he's doing is for the ''greater good'' and sees Team Flash and other heroes as the true evil for preventing his attempt to essentially cure death. |

| 733 | |
| 734 | The CEO of [=McCulloch=] Technologies and leader of Black Hole. |
| 735 | ---- |
| 736 | * AdaptationalAttractiveness: He's not covered in burn scars like his comic counterpart. |
| 737 | * AdaptationalWimp: In the comics, Carver ended up gaining powers by an unnatural connection to the Speed Force, though his powers were different to an actual speedster. This version of Carver is a NonActionBigBad who does not have any fighting ability himself. |
| 738 | * BigBadWannabe: He is the official leader of Black Hole, but gets hamstrung by Iris in his debut. He is [[VigilanteExecution later killed]] [[spoiler:by Eva]]. |
| 739 | * {{Blackmail}}: His modus operandi is blackmailing people. He [[TrappedInVillainy forced other Black Hole members to join]] and assist him in his criminal affairs. |
| 740 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: The first major villain in the series [[NonActionBigBad without any powers, fighting skills, or possibly even scientific acumen]]. That said, he's not ''quite'' a full-blown BigBad, being more of an ArcVillain. |
| 741 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He genuinely loved Eva prior to the particle accelerator explosion that [[TrappedInAnotherWorld trapped her]] in the Mirrorverse, and it's even [[AmbiguousSituation somewhat implied]] that he may have been an outright good guy prior to the incident. [[spoiler:Eva believes that he was just using her the whole time, but Joseph states that the Mirrorverse drove her irrevocably insane, and the woman coming after him is no longer his wife. He spent years trying to get her back, only to conclude that it was pointless. As it turns out, he was RightForTheWrongReasons: his wife actually had died the night of Particle Accelerator Explosion and the version of her he was trying to free was actually her mirror duplicate]]. |
| 742 | * EveryManHasHisPrice: He constantly attempts to bribe or blackmail everyone. When Team Flash attempts to save him, Ralph and Allegra tell him off for trying to bribe Nash into giving him his teleporting devices. |
| 743 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: In Carver's mind, the world runs on "ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney". The concept of people who can't be bribed is complete nonsense to him. |
| 744 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: |
| 745 | ** Keeping the tradition of ''Arrowverse'' shows, [=McCulloch=] Tech first appears late in Season Five before becoming much more important in the very next season. Comic fans should already be wary of this fact considering the very ''name'' of the company is an allusion to yet another ''Flash'' rogue. |
| 746 | ** Some of his last words [[spoiler:has him disowning Eva and claiming that his wife died the night of the Particle Accelerator Explosion. The Season Seven premiere reveals that Eva really ''did'' die that night, and the Eva that killed him was actually her mirror duplicate]]. |
| 747 | * INeedAFreakingDrink: He downs a shot of whiskey in one gulp when he encounters Eva again. |
| 748 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: In the Season 6 finale, [[spoiler:he takes a mirror shard to the torso and dies]]. |
| 749 | * ItsAllAboutMe: He hid knowledge about Iris being kidnapped in the Mirrorverse because it was convenient for him. |
| 750 | * NonActionBigBad: He's a CorruptCorporateExecutive with connections to powerful metahuman assassins and dangerous technology, but doesn't appear to have any powers himself. |
| 751 | * OneSteveLimit: He is not to be confused with the Carver who serves as Goldface's lieutenant. |
| 752 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: He's married to Eva [=McCulloch=] in this incarnation. In the comics, they have no relation. |
| 753 | * RightForTheWrongReasons. After Eva kills him, with his dying breath he [[spoiler:disowns her as his wife, claiming that she died in the Particle Accelerator Explosion. As it turns out, he's ''right''. The Eva he gave up on because she had been driven "insane" wasn't actually the real Eva, but her mirror duplicate; his wife really ''did'' die the night of the Particle Accelerator Explosion]]. |
| 754 | * SmugSnake: He always shows a prideful demeanor and rejects Flash's help until after his minions are kidnapped. |

| 767 | The wife of Joseph Carver. After the accelerator exploded, she found herself trapped in the Mirrorverse with no way out. She befriends Iris, who's also trapped within, only to begin using her for her own vendetta against her husband for leaving her for dead. |
| 768 | |
| 769 | Season 7 opens with the revelation that she, in fact, ''is'' DeadAllAlong and is her own mirror duplicate. When news of this spreads after her return, she decides to replace everyone with copies and rule over them as Mirror Monarch. |
| 770 | |
| 771 | -> see the Characters/ArrowverseEarth2 page for the male pre-Crisis Earth-2 character who bears her name and background |
| 772 | ---- |
| 773 | * AdaptationNameChange: She is renamed "Eva" from "Evan" to accommodate the GenderFlip. This also applies to her supervillain moniker which is now "Mirror Monarch" instead of "Mirror Master". |
| 774 | * AffablyEvil: She shows some kindness and concern to Barry when he is wounded and tells him that she won't hurt him as long as he doesn't interfere in her plan. |
| 775 | * AndIMustScream: She's been trapped in the Mirrorverse for the better part of ''six years''. |
| 776 | * AntiVillain: Part of her plans are getting revenge on her husband for using her company and inventions for selfish purposes. She is kidnapping and cloning people for that purpose. Later on, she decides to replace mankind itself with her clones, only to realize the error of her ways and stop her plans. |
| 777 | * ArcVillain: She serves as the main villain of season 6's second arc, ''Reflections and Lies'', as well as the first three episodes of season 7. [[note]]Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the season was cut short and the arc had to be concluded in the following one.[[/note]] |
| 778 | * ArmCannon: Eva's suit allows her to use an arm cannon to facilitate her to use her glass powers. |
| 779 | * BadBoss: Once her Reflections stop being useful for her, she will dispose of them. |
| 780 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: Her sense of justice and logic is heavily warped. This may be attributed to her being a mirror clone. |
| 781 | * BreakingOldTrends: She's the first ArcVillain to perform a HeelFaceTurn and survive doing so at the end of her arc. |
| 782 | * CaptureAndReplicate: Her M.O. is to abduct people from the real world and hold them captive in the Mirrorverse, while sending out [[HumanoidAbomination mirror duplicates]] of them into the real world to impersonate them and further her agenda. |
| 783 | * {{Catchphrase}}: She often states "Success is assured". |
| 784 | * CharacterTics: She often scratches her arm in a nervous fashion, whether or not she's [[BitchInSheepsClothing putting on an act of kindness]] for Iris or when showing her true self. It seems to be a natural result of spending too much time in the Mirrorverse, as Iris eventually starts doing the same thing. |
| 785 | * CloneArmy: Eva traps people in mirrors and creates duplicates of them, called "Reflections". While they have the memories of the duplicated individual, they may have a different personality. |
| 786 | * ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: She's not called Mirror Master, on account of Sam Scudder being introduced earlier. In "Mother", she refers to herself as "Mirror Monarch" instead. |
| 787 | * CompositeCharacter: She's a {{Gender Flip}} of Evan [=McCulloch=], but she seems to take more after the ''ComicBook/AnimalMan'' villain Prismatik, a scientist (and Evan's daughter in an AlternateUniverse) who managed to weaponize mirrors. She also ends up adopting the name Mirror Monarch, which is the name of a FutureBadass good version of Mirror Master. |
| 788 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: The second major villain to be female. In addition she's the only one to start off as a BigBadEnsemble of EvilVersusEvil against her husband Joseph Carver. |
| 789 | * DeadAllAlong: It's revealed in Season 7 that the real Eva died during the particle accelerator explosion, and that Mirror Monarch herself is her own duplicate. |
| 790 | * DeadAlternateCounterpart: Inverted. Her Earth-2 counterpart, Evan, was obliterated by the Anti-Monitor. Played straight with her human self, who died the night of the Accelerator explosion. |
| 791 | * DespairEventHorizon: Until Iris appeared, she lost all hope of returning to the real world and her life. 1322 failed escape attempts has that effect. After she returns and takes her company back, Team Flash discusses that unlike Eva, they still have hope. |
| 792 | * DontMakeMeDestroyYou: In an AffablyEvil tone, she constantly pleads for Barry Allen and his team not to interfere in her plans since she doesn't want to attack them. |
| 793 | * EasilyForgiven: She doesn't receive much punishment for endangering and causing widespread panic for the people of Central City by attempting to replace everyone outside of feeling guilty when being told what she's doing is wrong. However, it also pales in comparison to what other villains before her have done and those she had targeted before (aside from Team Flash) weren't very good people either. |
| 794 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: Eva is gobsmacked when Barry shows up to defend Carver from her, despite having every reason to hate the man and exchange him for Iris' safety. |
| 795 | * EvilCounterpart: She is set up as one for Iris. Both are strong, determined women, but Iris is outgoing and kind while Eva acts with false kindness and shyness. Iris sees value in all her teammates, while Eva has no problem sacrificing hers. While Iris has a sustainable, loving relationship with Barry, a recurring theme in Eva's storyline is that her relationship with Carver brings out the absolute worst in each other. |
| 796 | * EvilAllAlong: She seems a distressed victim, but she has a secret agenda of kidnapping and duplicating people. |
| 797 | * EvilVersusEvil: She wants to exact revenge on her husband for what she believes is his role in abandoning her, and commits awful deeds in pursuit of this agenda. Said husband also happens to be a CorruptCorporateExecutive and high-ranking member (possibly even leader and creator) of an international criminal syndicate. |
| 798 | * FalseFriend: After kidnapping Iris in the Mirrorverse, she feigns friendship to her to make her stay there while at the same time she created a clone of her. |
| 799 | * {{Foil}}: |
| 800 | ** She can create a personal army like Ramsey Rosso, but instead of brainwashing people with cursed blood, she clones them. |
| 801 | ** Similar to Grace Gibbons, she is a female villain that substitutes a male major villain. However, both Ramsey and Eva have different themes and were unrelated, also including that Eva doesn't kill the previous antagonist. While both Eva and Grace killed a relative, the circumstances are different: Grace killed Orlin because he was trying to dissuade her from resuming her plan, while Eva killed Joseph after he decided to stop attempting to rescue her and he used her company for an evil organization. The most obvious difference is that Grace came from the future while Eva was trapped in a dangerous dimension. |
| 802 | ** Like Clifford [=DeVoe=], she has a toxic relationship with her romantic partner. However, Clifford and Marlize's relationship degenerated due to his power hunger taking the worst of him, while Eva and Joseph's seemed toxic even before Eva was trapped and Eva's descent to villainy was triggered by Joseph giving up on searching for her in the Mirrorverse due to its damaging properties. |
| 803 | ** Like Savitar, she has a DarkAndTroubledPast that caused her to be DrivenToVillainy and is later revealed to actually be a clone. Both have {{Evil Plan}}s involving Iris, however, Savitar is mostly motivated by self-preservation while Eva is driven by {{revenge}} and later a SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum. |
| 804 | * GenderFlip: She is a female version of Evan [=McCulloch=]. |
| 805 | * GoMadFromTheIsolation: Zig-zagged: Eva seemed ''this'' close to going off the deep end when Iris met her, being just self-aware enough to assume Iris was a hallucination. However, while it's later revealed that this was an act and Eva fully knew who Iris was, she still seems not all there. Joseph states that the [[EldritchLocation Mirrorverse]] naturally drives humans insane. |
| 806 | * HannibalLecture: She tries to bring the Flash to her side by telling him that he doesn't get the recognition he deserves. |
| 807 | * HeelRealization: In the end of her arc, Barry and Iris manage to make her see reason and stop her scheming. |
| 808 | * InNameOnly: She's a GenderFlip adaptation of Evan [=McCulloch=], the second Mirror Master. However, apart from his name and his powers, they couldn't be any more different. Eva is an American scientist and [=CEO=] of a successful company, who is motivated by revenge, while Evan is a Scottish HitmanWithAHeart motivated by greed. |
| 809 | * ALighterShadeOfBlack: While she's still a threat and treated as such, her acts of villainy are largely lesser than Ramsey or her husband. |
| 810 | * LoveRedeems: She's the second ArcVillain after Orlin Dwyer to be redeemed. But unlike Dwyer, she lives at the end of her arc. |
| 811 | * TheMaidenNameDebate: She never uses the surname Carver. |
| 812 | * TheManBehindTheMonsters: She's a meta-human that can create and boss around "[[HumanoidAbomination mirror clones]]". |
| 813 | * ManChild: A lot of her motivation can be compared to a child throwing a tantrum over first being abandoned by her husband and later finding out she is a mirror clone of the original Eva. With her method of unleashing her wrath being [[CaptureAndReplicate taking out the entire population and replacing them with mirror clones]]. |
| 814 | * MirrorMonster: She has special control over mirrors. Her comic-book namesake ''did'' have the moniker "Mirror Master", after all. |
| 815 | * MoralMyopia: She would do anything to get herself out of the Mirrorverse, but doesn't care about leaving other people to rot in it. She also condemns Carver's disregarding of his minions, but she is herself willing to dispose of them if needed. |
| 816 | * MovieSuperheroesWearBlack: She's not shown wearing the Mirror Master's traditional orange-and-green costume, but she does start using a very dark moss green suit after escaping the Mirrorverse. |
| 817 | * NotWearingTights: Unlike her comic-book counterpart, she does not wear any special costume. Until the season finale, in which she dons a suit meant to help her readjust to the real world, while also being covered in reflective parts for her mirror powers to utilize. |
| 818 | * ObfuscatingInsanity: It later turns out that she's not quite as unstable as she seems, dropping the timid behavior and communicating with Mirror Iris once Iris leaves the room. It's not ''completely'' an act, with a later nervous bout nearly exposing Mirror Iris, but she's much more malevolent than Iris thinks. |
| 819 | * OneBadMother: Eva is addressed by Mirror Singh as mother, probably due to creating him and the other duplicates. She, in turn, later refers to the duplicates as her "children". |
| 820 | * PowerIncontinence: She didn't even know she had powers until a brief nervous breakdown revealed she can influence the mirror, and needs Iris's reassurances to properly use her abilities for even a short time. Later subverted when it's revealed Eva knew about her powers the whole time and can control them just fine, she just puts up the incontinence display to manipulate Iris. |
| 821 | * RedemptionEarnsLife: She uses the second chance given to her by Barry and Iris to start anew in the Mirrorverse. |
| 822 | * ReflectiveTeleportation: Like Scudder, Eva was trapped in a mirror and gained reflective teleportation powers from the S.T.A.R. labs particle accelerator explosion. |
| 823 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: She's married to Joseph Carver in this incarnation. In the comics, this is not the case. |
| 824 | * RetCon: With her introduction, the Mirror Gun is quietly retconned as not disintegrating the target but in fact reconstructing the target into the Mirrorverse. |
| 825 | * SuperiorSuccessor: She's the second Mirror Master after Sam Scudder, but she's far more competent than him. While Scudder is a petty bank-robber who gets defeated with relative ease, Eva is a ManipulativeBitch able to plant [[TheMole moles]] in the heroes' organization and remain undetected for extensive periods while slowly hatching her EvilPlan. Justified. Turns out the Sam Scudder we saw back in Season Three was a mirror duplicate, making him another one of Eva's pawns, so of course he was less powerful than his boss. |
| 826 | * TeleportGun: She has Mirror Iris steal the mirror gun, initially believed to be a disintegrator, but actually revealed to transport targets to the Mirrorverse. |
| 827 | * ThatManIsDead: Once she loses her chance to be a normal person, she christens herself as the Mirror Monarch, intending to rule over Central City with her "children". |
| 828 | * TilMurderDoUsPart: Played straight with Eva murdering her husband. Joseph also was an unrepentant member of Black Hole, responsible for numerous acts of cruelty and death, in addition to forcing Joe West into witness protection. Team Flash might've been protecting him, but they weren’t particularly happy about it. |
| 829 | * TomatoInTheMirror: She's the mirror duplicate of the original Eva. |
| 830 | * TragicVillain: She was trapped in a mind damaging dimension for years and saw her husband use her company to run an evil organization and blackmail people to make them join. And this is ''before'' she learns she's a mirror copy and tries to make Central City hers. |
| 831 | * VillainousBreakdown: Under the influence of the Artificial Speed Force, Barry sends her into one on purpose by hijacking her presentation with the video of the real Eva dying. She's reduced to chanting "This isn't my world" while in a fetal position before eventually deciding to replace all of Central City with her creations. |
| 832 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: She genuinely thinks she's doing what's good for humanity, even if people tell her otherwise. |
| 833 | * WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Eva thinks nothing of sacrificing her mirror clones for her own gain. |
| 834 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: She ultimately becomes one, intending to create her own "perfect world" by replacing everyone with mirror copies without realizing the ramifications of her actions. |

| 879 | The Post-Crisis iteration of Doctor Light, who works as an assassin for the secret organization. |
| 880 | ---- |
| 881 | * AdaptationalJobChange: The original Kimiyo Hoshi was a scientist and a vigilante. This version is an assassin. |
| 882 | * AdaptationalLateAppearance: The Kimiyo Hoshi Dr. Light was an integral character during ''Crisis On Infinite Earths'' and debuted in said event, this version shows up ''after'' the Crisis. |
| 883 | * AdaptationalVillainy: A hero in the comics, but a villain for the time being. |
| 884 | * AlternateSelf: Given the previous Doctor Light was from Earth-2, she's the Earth-Prime version. Though worth noting is that was Linda Park. |

| 888 | * DecompositeCharacter: The third character to be based on Doctor Light, with the first being Arthur Light who was only namedropped, while Earth-2 Linda Park showed up as Doctor Light based on this version. This being Kimiyo Hoshi is a TruerToTheText version of the character. |
| 889 | * DisintegratorRay: Her rifle focuses her light powers to completely disintegrate whatever it hits into ash. |
| 890 | * InNameOnly: While this Doctor Light does use her comics counterpart's name of Kimiyo Hoshi, she's otherwise still a drastically different character, being HiredGuns who uses a DisintegratorRay, as opposed to a heroic scientist who was crucial in ''Crisis on Infinite Earths''. |
| 891 | * JustFollowingOrders: As she tells Frost, "I follow orders". |
| 892 | * LightIsNotGood: She can manipulate the projection of light but works for a sinister group. |

| 928 | |
| 929 | A metahuman who gained his powers on the night of the Enlightenment, where he was crushed by a piece of the dark matter-infused S.T.A.R. Labs satellite and ended up gaining the power to twist and contort himself in whatever way he likes. |
| 930 | ---- |
| 931 | * AbortedArc: A deleted scene had Rag Doll meeting Mardon in Iron Heights who appeared to recruit him into the Rogues. Nothing comes of this encounter. |
| 932 | * AbnormalLimbRotationRange: As part of his power set his head can twist 180 degrees, his limbs can all bend in places supposed to be impossible, and he can literally make himself flat like paper. |
| 933 | * AchievementInIgnorance: He had no idea Barry Allen is The Flash. When he knocks Barry out and kidnaps him, he was under the impression that he caught an ordinary policeman who he restrained with the "fancy cuffs" Barry happened to be carrying, without realizing they were meta dampener cuffs that were shutting off Barry's speedster powers. |
| 934 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: While still quite a jerk here, his comics counterpart was far far worse, being a rapist and a child-abusing psycho. |
| 935 | * AirVentPassageway: He can not only squeeze himself through the average air vent but also pull himself through the grates. |
| 936 | * AnimalMotifs: Spiders. His creepy dreadlocks invoke a spider's legs. He likes to sneak about, hiding in containers or climbing through vents. He stalks his prey and in-snares something valuable to them. Also due to his {{contortionist}} powers, he is able to do a spider walk of RunningOnAllFours. |
| 937 | * AntagonisticOffspring: In his first appearance, he specifically targets people that he believes have connections with his mother. |
| 938 | * BodyHorror: His metahuman ability allows him to contort his body in any way he desires. |
| 939 | * CompositeCharacter: Merkel combines traits of both Peter Merkel, Sr. and Peter Merkel, Jr. from the comics. |
| 940 | ** Like the senior Merkel, Rag Doll is a super-criminal thief and an enemy of the Flash, Jay Garrick in the comics and Barry Allen in the show. His appearance has some traits from the first Rag Doll, primarily the red dreadlocked hair. |
| 941 | ** Like the junior Merkel, Rag Doll was born a normal human who gained his powers artificially, implants and surgery in the comics and dark matter exposure in the show, which also resulted in horrific physical disfigurement. His abilities are also closer to Peter Jr.'s powers in the comics, such as being able to warp his body into small pipes, openings under doors, and fit into small boxes. His appearance also has some of the elements of junior Merkel, such as an expressionless blank white mask. |
| 942 | ** Additionally, like Colby Zag, the second Rag Doll, Merkel wears a more formal suit, while both of the Merkel Rag Dolls wear clownish fullbody suits. |
| 943 | * {{Contortionist}}: One taken to superhuman levels. [[CastTheExpert His actor is actually a real life contortionist]]. |
| 944 | * DeathSeeker: By the time he returns in Season 6, his wish is to end his life as his mother has died and he wants to end his own suffering. |
| 945 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite being estranged from his mother, he was still saddened by her death and led him to become a DeathSeeker |
| 946 | * EvilCounterpart: Built up to be an evil Ralph, with both of them able to manipulate their bodies. |
| 947 | * EvilRedhead: Has brilliant red dreadlocks [[AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance reminiscent of a Raggedy Andy doll]]. |
| 948 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Creator/PhilLaMarr gives him a very deep voice. |
| 949 | * ExorcistHead: He is able to do this via his RubberMan powers. |
| 950 | * TheFaceless: Although his unmasked face is seen in a photograph pulled up by Team Flash, in his on-screen appearances he's never seen without it. |
| 951 | * HopeCrusher: His MO involves inflicting suffering onto other people by taking from them what they hold most dear. He steals a soon to be wed couple's heirloom, an architect's first building, and planned to kill Barry to hurt Iris. |
| 952 | * KnightOfCerebus: Easily one of the most terrifying villains to ever appear on ''Series/{{The Flash|2014}}'' due to how downright creepy he is. His appearance marks a much darker tonal shift than the usual VillainOfTheWeek metas. |
| 953 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Has an equally twisted music piece to accompany him as he twists and contorts his body |
| 954 | * LonelyRichKid: His background is that of a wealthy dynasty but although his mother gave him everything she ''thought'' he needed, like an entire wing of a school to play in, her coldness made it all hollow. |
| 955 | * MalevolentMaskedMen: Wears a particularly creepy mask that looks like a porcelain doll's face. |
| 956 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: In his attempt to break Iris, he gave her a great opportunity to redeem herself at the eyes of her daughter Nora. |
| 957 | * TheOneGuy: |
| 958 | ** He's the only male member of the Young Rogues. |
| 959 | ** When he gets recruited by Black Hole, he's once again the only male operative. |
| 960 | * PersonalityPowers: Emotionally broken and a little twisted, his entire body was broken and he was left capable of twisting himself however he wanted. |
| 961 | * PhantomThief: Has shades of this. He's an impossible thief due to his RubberMan powers allowing to infiltrate anywhere, and he steals specific objects that allow him to [[HopeCrusher cause pain to his victims]]. |
| 962 | * RaceLift: He is Caucasian in the comics, while here his actor and voice actor are both African-American. |
| 963 | * RoguesGalleryTransplant: Rag Doll is usually either a Jay Garrick or Batman villain. |
| 964 | * RubberMan: In a very different way to Ralph. While Ralph was stretchy like silly-putty, Rag Doll cracks and twists his limbs as he contorts or squishes parts of himself manually. |
| 965 | * RunningOnAllFours: In a very unusual way for this trope. He has his body facing upwards, twists his arms 180 degrees and then using them and his feet scurries around like a spider. |
| 966 | * SickeningCrunch: Accompanies him as he twists. Contrasting the cute squeaky sound that accompanies Ralph. |
| 967 | * SquashedFlat: In his origin story he was crushed flat by a piece of the satellite. Once he gained his powers he can also do this at will, being shown flattening his fingers to use as lockpicks or squeezing himself through an air vent. |
| 968 | * StealthExpert: Gets a lot of mileage out of his powers for infiltration, at one point [[FreezeFrameBonus appearing in the background of a crowded room]] [[ParanoiaFuel observing Barry and Iris]]. |
| 969 | * SuperToughness: He is able to survive a building collapse and emerge from the rubble unphased. |
| 970 | * UnhandThemVillain: When he has Barry bound and teetering on the edge of a building, Ralph tells him to "Let him go!" Of course, his answer is [[DeadpanSnarker a nonchalante "Okay"]] before letting Barry fall. |
| 971 | * WeakButSkilled: In terms of raw power he's not that strong all things considered, being at most slightly stronger than a normal human. But he makes up for it by being very crafty with his powers to get the drop on more powerful opponents like Barry. |

| 978 | * CoDragons: Eva [=McCulloch=]'s who mostly share equal power. |
| 979 | * EvilKnockoff: They are mirror duplicates created by Eva [=McCulloch=] to serve as her agents in the real world. |
| 980 | * ExpendableClone: It's revealed Eva ultimately does not care about them past how useful they are to her. She has no qualms of killing them if they [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness outlive their usefulness]], [[YouHaveFailedMe failed her]], or if the death of them gives her a tactical advantage. |
| 981 | * FakeMemories: One reason they're extremely effective at being TheMole is that they have all of the memories of the person they're replacing at the time that person was imprisoned in the mirror universe. |
| 982 | * HumanoidAbomination: They appear to be a separate species that resemble humans (specifically, the people they're clones of) but are subservient to their creator, Eva (a metahuman), and with BizarreAlienBiology. |
| 983 | * TheMole: They were all planted on Earth-Prime to take impersonate the person they were based off and serve Eva [=McCulloch=]. |

| 991 | |
| 992 | A mysterious duplicate of Iris that takes her place when she is entrapped. |
| 993 | ---- |
| 994 | * AlternateCompanyEquivalent: She's more or less the Arrowverse's version of the [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay T-1000]], being a shapeshifter who can form blades from her skin. She's [[spoiler:[[CompositeCharacter also]] something of a counterpart for the second T-800, since she proves capable of forming attachments and independent thought despite her nature]]. |
| 995 | * AssholeVictim: Subverted. While Mirror.Iris is a BitchInSheepsClothing and Eva killing her would normally be a favor to the heroes, the circumstances behind it are so cruel (i.e. Mirror Iris is killed for daring to make an independent choice and defying her) that even Barry can't stomach it. |
| 996 | * BedTrick: Heavily implied, since she deceived Barry into thinking she is the real Iris... |
| 997 | * BerserkButton: She does not like people treating her like a DamselInDistress, or even the implication. |
| 998 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: To keep the ruse of being the Iris the team is familiar with, she keeps a polite exterior that fades once she is contradicted in any way. |
| 999 | * BrainyBrunette: The only trait she has in common with Iris is her creative intelligence. |
| 1000 | * DeathEqualsRedemption: [[spoiler:After Iris points out that Eva still loves Carver and Mirror Iris decides to take her own decisions, Eva kills her.]] |
| 1001 | * DyingAsYourself: [[spoiler:She dies after deciding to take her own decisions and breaking free of Eva's hold, encouraging Barry to rescue Iris.]] |
| 1002 | * TheDragon: [[spoiler:She is a duplicate created by Eva [=McCulloch=] to gather intel on Joseph Carver and Black Hole, as well as help Eva escape the Mirrorverse. Later she and Mirror-Kamilla become CoDragons]]. |
| 1003 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: She is uncomfortable with Eva sacrificing her clones. |
| 1004 | * HairTriggerTemper: She's much easier to set off and more confrontational than the real Iris. She will not accept any no for an answer. |
| 1005 | * TheHeavy: With Carver forced to keep himself out of the limelight and [[spoiler:Eva]] stuck in the Mirrorverse, Mirror Iris does most of the hands-on work for the second half of Season 6. |
| 1006 | * KubrickStare: She gives the normal Iris an indirect one through a mirror. |
| 1007 | * MagicMirror: Much like Eva, she can also use mirrors as portals. |
| 1008 | * RevealingHug: She drops her guise mid-hug with Barry. |
| 1009 | * ShapeshifterWeapon: Able to form her hands into mirror blades and use them as offensive weapons. |
| 1010 | * StepfordSmiler: She acts as cheery as the original Iris until she gets a moment to drop the act. |
| 1011 | * SupremeChef: Her pancakes are vastly better than those of the original Iris. |
| 1012 | * WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Eva believes Mirror Iris to be just an extension of herself, but Barry convinces her that she is her own person who can make her own decisions. Mirror Iris accepts this and ends up having a DeathEqualsRedemption moment. |
