The Mardon Brothers

In General

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_flash_mark_mardon_weather_wizard.jpg

A pair of brothers who are career criminals before being turned into metahumans with weather manipulation powers.

Arch-Enemy: 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.
Empowered Badass Normal: They are career criminal siblings who are already giving the authorities a hard time before gaining metahuman powers.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: The brothers care deeply for one another.
From Bad to Worse: A pair of proud career criminals who gained superhuman abilities. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
Legacy Character: Mark Mardon takes Clyde's place as the weather manipulating metahuman, though he ends up being a Superior Successor.
Moveset Clone: They have the exact same Weather Manipulation power set.
Siblings in Crime: The brothers are career criminals.
Weather Manipulation: The brothers' main ability.
- Clyde uses it for fogs to allow his escape, hurricanes to cover a bank robbery, and in his final move, a Tornado Move.
- 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 a tidal wave.

Clyde Mardon

"It's time to think big."

Species: Metahuman

Played By: Chad Rook

Voiced By: Edson Matus (Latin-American Spanish), Go Inoue (Japanese)

First Appearance: "Pilot" (The Flash 1x1)

Appearances: The Flash

A criminal and bank-robber who gained the power to control the weather from the particle accelerator explosion.

Adaptation Dye-Job: Blond hair instead of dark brown as in the comics.
Adaptational Badass: Clyde Mardon doesn't have or share his brother Mark's weather powers in the comics.
Adaptational Villainy: Clyde isn't even a criminal in the comics (most of the time, anyway), let alone a budding supervillain.
Ascended Extra: Not only does Clyde not have any powers whatsoever in the comics, he is always a victim of Death by Origin Story 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.
Bank Robbery: How he uses his powers. At first anyway, until Detective West accidentally convinces him to think big.
Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames: 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.
Composite Character: Took his brother Mark's role as the first Weather Wizard in all but name. Turns out this was just a Continuity Nod to the idea that originally he invented the wand; his brother was always the true Weather Wizard.
Drunk on the Dark Side: All that power drives Clyde nuts.
Due to the Dead: Cisco once visited Clyde's grave as a request from Mark.
Evil Is Hammy: As he gets increasingly Drunk on the Dark Side, Clyde becomes progressively hammier.
Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: 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.
Glass Cannon: 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.
A God Am I: 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 Weather Manipulation, along with, until he meets 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.
Mundane Utility: Of a sort. His Weather Manipulation powers are potentially godlike, and he admits as much himself, but he uses them to help him with a Bank Robbery. Detective West notes just how stupid this is.
No One Could Survive That!: He is presumed dead when his plane is caught in the blast radius of the particle accelerator's explosion. No one believes Barry when he's the only one to claim Clyde is not only not dead, but can now control the weather.
Parental Abandonment: At the age of 10, his brother started raising him.
Shock and Awe: Can call down lightning.
Small Role, Big Impact: Despite appearing as a Starter Villain 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.
Smoke Out: His favorite way of escape; conjuring a thick fog that conceals the entire area.
Starter Villain: He's the Flash's very first antagonist. And he's killed by Detective West.
Tempting Fate: Bellows to the cops, "DO YOU THINK YOUR GUNS CAN STOP GOD?" Later gets shot and killed.
Tornado Move: Able to stir up violent hurricanes around himself.
We Hardly Knew Ye: Gone after his first episode.

Mark Mardon/Weather Wizard

Mark Mardon

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/653138cb56d644165575909ad84e80f6.jpg

"If you can't protect your family, the least you can do is avenge 'em."

Species: Metahuman

Known Aliases: Weather Wizard

Voiced By: Irwin Daayán (Latin-American Spanish), Hiroki Takahashi (Japanese)

First Appearance: "Out of Time" (The Flash 1x15)

Appearances: The Flash | Vixen

Clyde Mardon's older brother. He holds a grudge against Joe for shooting his brother.

Adaptational Attractiveness: He is usually depicted as Lean and Mean, but here he's portrayed by the Tall, Dark, and Handsome Liam McIntyre, who previously headlined a show about gladiators ^note. Read: Gladiators.
Adaptational Badass: 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.
Adaptation Dye-Job: His comic counterpart has black hair, but the show keeps his actor's dark brown hair.
Alliterative Name: Mark Mardon. His Code Name, Weather Wizard, also counts.
And Starring: Promoted to this citation in the Guest Stars lineup starting Season 2.
Arch Nemesis Dad: To his Bastard Bastard daughter Joslyn Jackam, who despised her father for abandoning her and wants him dead.
Avenging the Villain: Came back to Central City to avenge Clyde's death.
Awesome by Analysis: 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.
Battle in the Rain: He invokes this by bringing rainfalls most of the time he shows up. Doubles as Actor Allusion since his actor famously played a role whose Red Baron is "The Bringer of Rain".
Beard of Evil: As a supervillain, he counts.
Beauty Is Bad: Tall, dark and handsome, but a dangerous supervillain.
Blow You Away: Unlike Clyde who prefers Tornado Move, Mark loves generating strong gusts of wind.
Bond Villain Stupidity: 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.
Chekhov M.I.A.: He went missing after the plane he and Clyde were hijacking during the Mass Super-Empowering Event crashed.
Civvie Spandex: Wears a dark green jacket with lighter pockets and an upturned collar, echoing his comic version's second costume.
Debt Detester: He broke Snart out of Iron Heights, just because he owed him and wanted to get it out of the way.
Decomposite Character: In the comics, he is the sole Weather Wizard. However, his brother Clyde also filled that role as this series' Starter Villain.
Disappeared Dad: 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.
Evil Sounds Deep: Is evil and has a deep voice.
Evil Versus Evil: He doesn't seem to get along well with Kyle Nimbus/Mist.
Flight: By season two, he's worked out how to use his powers to fly.
Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: 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.
Glass Cannon: 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.
A God Am I: Much like his brother, though he's more subtle.
Jerkass: Not counting 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.
Knight Templar Big Brother: He responds at Joe shooting his brother via Roaring Rampage of Revenge.
Last-Name Basis: Team Flash mentions him as "Mardon", his nickname.
Leitmotif: Epic as hell, extremely catchy, and a fan favorite.
Near-Villain Victory: He nearly annihilated the entirety of Central City in his first attack had Barry not Time Travelled and reset the timeline.
Never Found the Body: Clyde mentioned that he couldn't find him after their plane crashed during the Particle Accelerator incident.
Not So Invincible After All: 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.
Person of Mass Destruction: The first metahuman to have the entire Central City at his mercy and is only stopped because Barry pushes the Reset Button via accidental Time Travel.
Pragmatic Adaptation: 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.
Promotion to Parent: Clyde mentioned (in a flashback) that Mark raised him since he was 10 years old.
Real Men Wear Pink: He likes Mean Girls.
Revenge Before Reason: He concedes that Clyde "was no saint," but still feels driven to avenge him.
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: He's really, really upset at Joe for killing Clyde.
Rogues' Gallery Transplant: In-universe. After the events of Season 1, he shows up on Vixen where he fights said titular hero, as well as the Flash and Firestorm.
Shock and Awe: He loves striking his opponents with lightning bolts.
Superior Successor: 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.
Tall, Dark, and Handsome: Lampshaded word-per-word by Shawna Baez.
Tall, Dark, and Snarky: Stands 6'2 and is a very chilly person.
Underestimating Badassery: 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.
Unexplained Recovery: While he did say that he received grave injuries, he didn't specify how he was nursed back to health.
Would Hurt a Child: He allies with The Trickster to give children explosives disguised as Christmas gifts.
You Killed My Father: Joe killing his brother is his main reason for the Roaring Rampage of Revenge.

The Royal Flush Gang

The Tricksters and Prank

In General

Tropes that apply to these characters:

Catchphrase: They love adding "trick" or "tricked" into sentences, especially variants of "I tricked you".
Chewing the Scenery: They're both very theatrical.
Domino Mask: The first Trickster used to wear one in his heyday, his successor wears them currently.
Expy: The Trickster has always been the Flash's version of The Joker, while Prank is Harley Quinn.
The Family That Slays Together: The first time the Trickster family appeared it was James and Axel causing mayhem in Central City. And 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.
Giggling Villain: It doesn't take much to make those nutters laugh. It's genetic apparently.
I Lied: You can't trust a trickster.
Intergenerational Friendship: James and Axel are old enough to be father and son, which is exactly what they are.
Leitmotif: All three of them share one which resembles a creepy circus theme.
The Mad Hatter: They're all crazy and know it.
Monster Clown: They wear garish colors, joke around, and build weapons out of gags like gift boxes.
Related in the Adaptation: James and Axel are father and son in this work, with Prank being Axel's mother.
Slasher Smile: Just to point out the fact that they're both Obviously Evil.
The Trickster: Well, duh.
Villainous Friendship: 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.
Would Hurt a Child: 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.

James Jesse/The Trickster I

James Jesse

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2_32.jpg

"You have to admit...that was one hell of a trick."

Species: Human

Known Aliases: The Trickster I

First Appearance: "Tricksters" (The Flash 1x17)

Appearances: The Flash

An anarchist terrorist and conman serving several life sentences in Iron Heights.

see The Flash (1990) page for his Earth-90 counterpart

see Arrowverse: Other Earths page for his Earth-3 counterpart

Adam Westing: Mark Hamill Chewing the Scenery as a maniacally giggling DC villain prompts major nostalgia for 90s kids.
Adaptational Villainy: The Trickster was a Friendly Enemy of The Flash and not very violent. Here, he's essentially The Joker, another DC villain role Mark Hamill is famous for which is how he was portrayed in the previous Flash show.
Age Lift: 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.
Alliterative Name: James Jesse. Also doubles as Two First Names.
Alternate Self: There is no Trickster on Earth-2, but Earth-3 and Earth-90 each have its own versions of The Trickster, who both act more like Joker expies.
And Starring: Is credited with "Special Guest Star" citation in his appearances.
- 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.
Badass Normal: 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.
Bad Santa: In the Christmas Episode, he disguises himself as Santa Claus in order to give children presents with bombs to put under their trees as part of his evil plan.
Batman Gambit: 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.
Boxed Crook: Barry and Joe come asking for his help to stop a copycat Trickster.
Card-Carrying Villain: Being "the Trickster" is his life.
Celebrity Paradox: Cisco made Star Wars 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.
Compelling Voice: Managed to talk his psychiatrist into committing suicide.
Composite Character: Thanks to Mark Hamill, this Trickster heavily takes characterization from the The Joker. Though worth noting, his portrayal of the Trickster in the 1990s is actually what got him the role of the Joker in Batman: The Animated Series.
Dirty Coward: In "Running to Stand Still," he teams up with Mark Mardon and forces Barry into a Sadistic Choice 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 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.
Dirty Old Man: Comes on to Iris despite being much older than her.
Don't Explain the Joke: Has a habit to do this when nobody appreciated his humor.
The Dreaded: 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.
Einstein Hair: He likes to ruffle up his hair, adding to his crazy look.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: 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.
Evil Counterpart: 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 a mistaken criminal but repeatedly shuts down Barry's constant attempt to clear his name just so his son can live his life.
Evil Is Hammy: Mark Hamill is clearly having a blast playing his old role.
Evil Has a Bad Sense of Humor: His M.O.
Evil Mentor: Towards his son Axel.
Evil Old Folks: He is one of the Flash's most cunning enemies, aside from the Reverse-Flash.
Faux Affably Evil: 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.
Food as Bribe: It's implied he'll only talk to visitors to his cell if he's given some red licorice to eat.
For the Evulz: 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.
Gadgeteer Genius: A deranged example. He was able to build a kinetic bomb for starters.
Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: Breaks out a huge cigar when bragging about how he passed out hundreds of bombs to children.
Hidden Depths: He cries after hearing Barry's inspirational speech to Patty about proving that she's better than the criminals they fight.
I Have You Now, My Pretty: He hits on Iris when holding her hostage.
Important Haircut: After his successor broke him out of prison.
Impossibly Tacky Clothes: 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 Earth-90 is also drawn to this costume idea too.
Insane Troll Logic: When the Flash is at his mercy, he tells him that he will be the one who saves Central City by killing the hero.
It's All About Me: Ultimately only cares about himself as he managed to escape from Iron Heights and left Axel there to rot.
I Was Quite a Fashion Victim: His and Prank's outfits from the 90s are occasionally mocked by Team Flash. They have since moved on to more subdued fashion choices.
Kansas City Shuffle: A common specialty of his. He isn't called "The Trickster" for nothing.
Large Ham: As expected from Mark Hamill.
Laughably Evil: He may be a dangerous psycho, but he's just so gosh-darn entertaining.
Luke, I Am Your Father: To Axel Walker. Being played by Luke himself, he plays this reveal for all it's worth.
Movie Superheroes Wear Black: In his younger days, he wore very loud, 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.
Non-Action Big Bad: 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.
Not So Above It All: Admits that he was touched by Barry's speech to Patty.
Obfuscating Stupidity: He's more dangerous than he seems.
Ominous Music Box Tune: His Leitmotif is an eerie music box version of his theme from the 90's series.
Outlaw Couple: Used to be in one with Prank. It ended when he was arrested, while she escaped justice so she could raise their son.
Oh, Crap!: Usually has this reaction when his plans fail.
Pop-Cultured Badass: Makes references to Breaking Bad and Speed, and is able to one-up the Flash and the police with his aforementioned Batman Gambit.
James Jesse: They gave me cable in prison so I'd stop killing the guards.
Practically Joker: Mark Hamill is playing the Joker again in everything but name, just like in the 1990 Flash series.
Predecessor Villain: 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.
Shout-Out: When he tells Axel he's his father, it's pretty clear what he's referencing.
Trademark Favorite Food: He seems to have a thing for red licorice vines. Not unlike Stickybeard.
Villain: Exit, Stage Left: Apparently he managed to escape from Iron Heights sometime during 2017.
What Happened to the Mouse?: 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.

Axel Walker/The Trickster II

Axel Walker

"Tricked ya. Look who's back?"

Species: Human

Known Aliases: The Trickster II

First Appearance: "Tricksters" (The Flash 1x17)

Appearances: The Flash

James Jesse's son, a copycat criminal who takes over his father's alias and modus operandi.

Adaptation Dye-Job: 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.
Adaptational Heroism: 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.
Age Lift: 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.
Ascended Fanboy: An admirer of James Jesse's "work".
Bastard Bastard: Since he and his biological father don't share a surname; his mother was James' ex-lover.
The Bus Came Back: After being absent since Season One, he comes back for his own caper in Season 4's "The Elongated Knight Rises".
The Dragon: To the original Trickster, who he turns out to be working for.
In the Blood: James says this word for word when he says Axel was born to be the Trickster.
Legacy Character: Walker takes his cues from the original Trickster, James Jesse.
Mad Bomber: Has a penchant for using explosives. Must be a genetic thing with his dad James.
Overshadowed by Awesome: His idol/father stole every scene in their eponymous episode, making him Out of Focus. 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.
Smug Snake: He's got the attitude to be the Trickster, but still lacks the skill. That's because he's just following James' instructions.
"Well Done, Son" Guy: 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.
What Happened to the Mouse?: 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.

Zoey Clark/Prank

Zoey Clark

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2_262.jpg

Species: Human

Known Aliases: Prank

First Appearance: "The Elongated Knight Rises" (The Flash 4x11)

Appearances: The Flash

James' ex-lover and Axel's mother.

see The Flash (1990) page for her Earth-90 counterpart.

Adaptational Badass: 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.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Unlike Jesse, she truly does love Axel — trying to get him to see that James doesn't give a damn about him.
Expy: Of Harley Quinn, although Prank actually appeared two years before Harley did.
Good Parents: 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.
Impossibly Tacky Clothes: Just like James, her old costumes were brightly and loudly colored.
Mask of Sanity: 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 Split Personality.
No Medication for Me: The moment she stops taking them she reveals herself to be a real looney.
Outlaw Couple: Used to be in one with James. It ended when he was arrested, while she escaped justice so she could raise their son.

The DeVoes

Clifford DeVoe/The Thinker

See Arrowverse: Clifford DeVoe.

Marlize DeVoe

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/7_copy.jpg

Species: Human

Known Aliase: The Mechanic

Played by: Kim Engelbrecht

First Appearance: "The Flash Reborn" (The Flash 4x1)

Appearances: The Flash

"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."

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.

All There in the Manual: She's listed as the Mechanic in the credits, but was never called such in the show itself.
Alternate Company Equivalent: She's basically a female version of the Tinkerer, being The Dragon to the Big Bad who makes all of his gadgets.
Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: Mrs. DeVoe is always calm and always poised regardless of how bad the situation is.
Amnesia Loop: 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.
Amoral Afrikaner: 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.
Arch-Enemy: 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.
Arc Words: "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.
Badass Bookworm: She's an exceptional engineer, boasting inventions of Impossible Genius caliber, yet she can fight with her own physical abilities just fine.
Badass Normal: Is capable of wielding a high-tech katana with enough skill to deflect shots from a laser-rifle.
Being Evil Sucks: Learns this the hard way after Clifford gratuitously murders Warden Wolfe, realizing that her husband is not the Well-Intentioned Extremist 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.
Berserk Button: 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.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: 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.
Brainwashed and Crazy: 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 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.
Break the Haughty: Her arrogant and compliant personality starts to wear down after seeing the monster her husband becomes.
Broken Bird: Until her Cynicism Catalyst, 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.
Canon Foreigner: Marlize is a character created for the show, although she may take inspiration from The Mechanic.
Chef of Iron: Skilled with a katana? Check. Makes an amazing lemonade and 3-cheese mac? Check.
Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames: So far she has yet to be referred to as the Mechanic.
Crocodile Tears: She is able to very convincingly act out grief at her husband's alleged death during the Trial of Barry Allen.
Cynicism Catalyst: 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.
The Engineer: DeVoe makes all the plans and designs, while Marlize is the one who builds them for him.
Et Tu, Brute?: A villainous examples, where she betrays her husband and allies with Team Flash. Although, in her part, her husband technically turned on her first.
Even Evil Has Standards: 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.
Evil Counterpart:
- 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.
- To Cisco. Both serve as The Engineer but are on opposing sides, with Cisco being on the hero's side who helps Team Flash, while Marlize aids DeVoe who is the Big Bad.
Face–Heel Turn: She was a genuinely good woman who did humanitarian aid with her technology before marrying Clifford.
Fake Guest Star: She appears in nearly every single episode in which DeVoe appears ^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.
Gadgeteer Genius: She was the one who built DeVoe's Thinking Cap based on his designs. She also designed and built his Cool Chair as well as the Samuroid.
Good All Along: As immoral as she seems at first, she genuinely was under the belief that what DeVoe had planned was for the greater good. 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.
Happily Married: 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
Heel–Face Turn: 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.
Heel Realization: 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.
Hero of Another Story: After helping to take down DeVoe, she goes to resume her philanthropic work.
It's All About Me: 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 Evil Plan. Subverted when she is revealed to be a Well-Intentioned Extremist whose Cynicism Catalyst 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 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.
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.
Karma Houdini: 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.
Like an Old Married Couple: Often argues with DeVoe and loses, always.
Love Makes You Evil: 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.
Loving a Shadow: 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 Journey to the Center of the Mind proves there was once a good DeVoe, he is now dead.
Manipulative Bitch: While not as much as her husband, Marlize is also very skilled at playing people. Best shown with her Crocodile Tears 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.
Morality Pet: 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.
Number Two: To her husband. She often questions her husband's plans and points out possible mistakes, but will follow his orders regardless.
Psychic Block Defense: Not enjoying DeVoe invading her mind, Marlize starts playing "Goin' Out of My Head" to keep him from hearing her thoughts.
Remember the New Guy?: 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.
Supreme Chef: Her ability to cook delicious macaroni is quickly noted by DeVoe and Team Flash.
That Man Is Dead: 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 enters DeVoe's mind and finds the "good DeVoe" has been killed by the "evil DeVoe".
Took a Level in Kindness: After her Heel Realization 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.
Undying Loyalty: 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.
Unholy Matrimony: 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.
What the Hell, Hero?: After the reveal that she was Good All Along and genuinely a Well-Intentioned Extremist, 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.

Samuroid

Species: Android

Played by: N/A

First Appearance: "The Flash Reborn" (The Flash 4x1)

Appearances: The Flash

A type of combat android controlled by the DeVoes.

Adaptation Origin Connection: In the comics Samuroids have no connection with the Thinker, and are used by Baron Katana.
Attack Its Weak Point: It stabs Wally in the leg to win its fight with him.
The Brute: DeVoe's personal attack robot sent in to wreak havoc.
Dual Wielding: It can use two katanas at once.
Glass Cannon: It is a tough fighter, but Barry only needed one, well-timed strike to put it down.
Katanas Are Just Better: It wields a set of katanas that can create shockwaves. It can even launch the swords' blades as projectiles.
Killer Robot: A combat android built by the DeVoes to serve as their muscle.
Samurai: It's based on them, if the name doesn't make it obvious enough.
Sinister Surveillance: Even after it is reduced to a head, it can be used as a hidden camera by the Thinker.
Starter Villain: For Season Four.
Sword Beam: The Ground Wave variant where Samuroid strikes the ground with its katana to create a powerful shockwave.
Throwing Your Sword Always Works: Throwing one of its katanas at a target seems to be a preprogrammed tactic.
The Worf Effect: In its debut it easily dispatched Wally and Cisco, ending up slicing through Wally's leg. However later in the season, Joe is able to fight it evenly.

Amunet and Associates

Amunet Black

Leslie Jocoy/Amunet Black

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/21_2.jpg

" I've got forgiveness in my kidneys...there's no beat, beat in this chest sister."

Species: Metahuman

Real Name: Leslie Jocoy

Played By: Katee Sackhoff

First Appearance: "Girls Night Out" (The Flash 4x5)

Appearances: The Flash

A nefarious crime lord, with the ability to control and manipulate metal, who once had a connection with Caitlin/Killer Frost.

'90s Hair: Vibe/Cisco certainly thinks so.
Vibe: Are you a time traveller? 'Cause those white-girl-dreads came straight from the Nineties!
Adaptational Wimp: Carries around a bag full of shards to focus her powers. In contrast, her comics counterpart throws bridges at people, and eventually is made of iron.
Admiring the Abomination: She described DeVoe's plan as "brilliant."
Affably Evil: At least toward Caitlin, whom she holds a speck of respect for.
Affectionate Nickname: Dispenses these to her Mooks, colleagues and foes alike.
Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work: 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.
Big Bad Ensemble: 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.
Big Bad Wannabe: That said, she totally pales in comparison to DeVoe.
Book Dumb: 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.
Card-Carrying Villain: She makes no attempt to hiding how horrible a person she is, proudly admitting she has no heart.
Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames: 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.
Drunk On The Darkside: 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.
Early-Bird Cameo: She was mentioned a few times to Caitlin before finally appearing in person.
Elemental Baggage: She carries around a bag of metal shards to use her powers on.
Enemy Mine: Team Flash is forced to recruit her in "Harry and the Harrisons" upon realizing she's the only one immune to DeVoe's powers.
Evil Brit: Katee Sackhoff uses a British accent for the character.
Evil Versus Oblivion: After Caitlin points out that DeVoe's Evil Plan 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.
Evil Wears Black: It's even part of her name.
Faux Affably Evil: Plays up her charming personality, dishing out an Affectionate Nickname to everyone around her, but when cornered, drops the facade and reveals the demon underneath.
Foil: To Goldface, her off and on lover and fellow Crime Lord. She's British to his North American upbringing. She's Faux Affably Evil to his genuine Affably Evil attitude, and is notably more sociopathic than Goldface who demonstrates standards. While both love putting on a show, Amunet has an overly high opinion of herself that often gets the better of her, whereas Goldface is a Crazy-Prepared Manipulative Bastard. Even their respective Enemy Mine moments with Team Flash are framed in different circumstances, with Amunet doing so out of self-preservation while Goldface verges into a Noble Demon who sticks to Pragmatic Villainy. Their shared No Honour Among Thieves mentality, ruthlessness' and absolute glee and delight at being Crime Lords are what they share. Even their own meta abilities are drastically different while still being fundamentally similar.
From Nobody to Nightmare: Used to be a stewardess, and her first victims after gaining her powers were colleagues who sexually harassed her.
A God Am I: Believes she and Killer Frost could be this if they joined forces.
Hunter of His Own Kind: She traffics metahumans, and is a metahuman herself.
Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: 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.
Lesser of Two Evils: Alongside DeVoe, which is why Team Flash is forced to recruit her once they find out she's immune to his powers.
Magnetism Manipulation: Has the ability to manipulate and weaponize a certain type of metal.
Ms. Fanservice: Wears tight dresses that reveal her cleavage. Being played by Katee Sackhoff certainly doesn't hurt.
Nominal Hero: Recruited by Team Flash to fight DeVoe, the greater evil. She eventually agrees to help, but makes it clear she's only doing so out of self-preservation.
Obviously Evil: It's quite easy to pick up she's not a nice person early on, with her style of clothes, her Creepy Shadowed Undereyes, and her pale complexion. This appears to be intentional on her part.
Pet the Dog: She gives Caitlin a genuine motivational You Are Better Than You Think You Are speech so that she can operate on Dominic Lance.
Power Fist: Her preferred use of her powers is to craft a makeshift giant metallic glove.
Pretty Fly for a White Guy: Turns out she's a fan of NWA.
Remember the New Guy?: 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.
Selective Magnetism: 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.
Slap-Slap-Kiss: With Goldface, her ex.
Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil: 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.
Spanner in the Works: 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.
Swiss-Army Superpower: Her Selective Magnetism 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.
They Look Just Like Everyone Else!: In her civilian disguise she doesn't look anywhere near as creepy as she usually does, and passes off as someone normal.
Unexplained Accent: Seems to have a Trans-Atlantic accent, which is (fittingly) entirely artificial. That, or it's either Sackhoff's best attempt at British.
Unholy Matrimony: She and Goldface were a couple in the past. With some help from Flash, Mirror Iris and an Applied Phlebotinum plant, they get back together in "Love Is A Battlefield".
Villainous Breakdown: Quickly drops her smugness when things don't go her way.
Wants a Prize for Basic Decency: In "Don't Run", Amunet states she was nice to Caitlin just for not killing her.
We Will Meet Again: Threatens Caitlin/Killer Frost she will have her vengeance the next time they meet.

Norvock

Matthew Norvock

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/norvok.png

Species: Metahuman

Known Aliases: Snake Eye, Medusa Man

Played By: Mark Sweatman

First Appearance: "The Flash Reborn" (The Flash 4x1)

Appearances: The Flash

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.

An Arm and a Leg: Or tentacle in this case. Rather than killing him, Amunet resorts to cutting out his tentacle.
Awesome, but Impractical: 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 his powers got an upgrade.
The Bus Came Back: Returns in Season 5, as one of the metas targeted by Cicada.
Butt-Monkey: 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.
Chekhov's Gunman: 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.
The Dragon: Used to be a Co-Dragon with Caitlin before the latter quit. Later becomes The Starscream.
Et Tu, Brute?: Amunet does not take to kindly of Norvock's betrayal.
Eye Scream: There's a tentacle-like snake in his eye socket.
Go-Karting with Bowser: He serves as a DJ for Killer Frost's birthday, as she never had one.
Healing Factor: Implied with the snake in his eye, as it's still intact after being ripped off.
Lovecraftian Superpower: His power is a snake that comes out of his eye socket.
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: 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.
Not-So-Harmless Villain: He was initially so pathetic in battle he might as well have been a Joke Character, but then he Took a Level in Badass and he proves to be quite dangerous on his own.
Took a Level in Badass: After 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.
Took a Level in Kindness: In Season 5, after helping Flash rescue Metas at risk from Cicada.
Unexplained Recovery: Seems to have regained his powers in Season 5.

Goldface's Gang

Keith / Goldface

Keith

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/goldface.png

"See, here's the thing. Scum recognizes scum. I'm scum. And I've survived this long by recognizing the same. Like you. You're scum. I sniffed you coming a mile away."

Species: Metahuman

Known Aliases: Goldface

Played By: Damion Poitier

First Appearance: "Goldfaced" (The Flash 5x13)

Appearances: The Flash

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.

Affably Evil: He is so polite that sometimes it can be easy to forget he is an immoral black market dealer.
Alien Blood: When he's knocked out via electrocution, liquid gold pours from his eyes.
Arms Dealer: Runs a black market on illicit tech in Central City. He's planning on moving into organ trafficking in his debut.
Benevolent Boss: He maintains a very polite and kind demeanor to his men. This is not just an act, as they all participate in Villains Out Shopping moments.
Celebrity Paradox: Both Marvel comics and the Marvel Cinematic Universe have been referenced in the Arrowverse before. Goldface's actor was the first one to play Thanos before Josh Brolin took over.
Chain Pain: Can expand the gold chain he wears into a long whip, and is very skilled at battling with it.
Color Motif: Gold, due to his Extra-ore-dinary powers. He likes adorning his clothes and buildings with the color as much as possible.
Enemy Mine: 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".
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Goldface really did love Amunet, and both of them end up discovering this by reading each other's minds.
Even Evil Has Standards: 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.
Evil Is Hammy: In Barry's own words "[Goldface] loves making an entrance", always going for flashy theatrics whenever he steps onto the scene.
Evil Sounds Deep: He may be Affably Evil, but he still has a deep voice courtesy of Damion Poitier.
Extra-ore-dinary: 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.
Friendly Enemy: 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.
Genius Bruiser: 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.
Healing Factor: Can heal the skin above his gold coated bones.
Hidden Depths: The final season shows he is familiar with the works of Edgar Allan Poe with his referencing the final words of The Masque of the Red Death.
If You're So Evil, Eat This Kitten!: 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.
Laughably Evil: A lot of his dialogue can either be so witty or so silly it's hard not to laugh.
Logical Weakness: Due to being made of gold, he is vulnerable to electricity. Barry and Ralph exploit this.
Nigh-Invulnerability: Can become as durable as gold.
Nominal Hero: By Season 9 he transitions to this, still being a firm villain but willingly joining with the heroes against a common enemy.
Parrying Bullets: He is able to use his gold-chain to deflect boomerangs thrown by Captain Boomerang II, something which earns Mercer's respect.
Pragmatic Villain: 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.
Race Lift: The Goldface in the comics is white. He's black here.
Rogues' Gallery Transplant: 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.
Unbreakable Bones: His skull is shown to be coated in a gold-like substance.
Unholy Matrimony: He and Amunet were a couple in the past. With some help of Flash, Iris and an Applied Phlebotinum plant, they get back together in 2020's 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.
Villains Out Shopping: He apparently holds a book club with Carver, which he is embarrassed to admit.

Carver

Species: Human

Played By: Anthony Joseph

First Appearance: "Goldfaced" (The Flash 5x13)

Appearances: The Flash

Goldface's right-hand man within his criminal organization.

The Bus Came Back: He is oddly absent in Season 6 when Goldface reappears, putting Carver into a What Happened to the Mouse? situation. He properly returns alongside his boss in Season 8.
The Consigliere: He's Goldface's right-hand who makes sure to keep their organization running like clockwork.
Deadpan Snarker: Sometimes rolls his eyes at his boss's theatrical antics.
Hyper-Competent Sidekick: Not that Goldface isn't competent, but Goldface is more skilled at being The Face and specializes on stoking a charismatic public image, while Carver handles the management side and keep tabs on the internal workings of their organization.
No-Nonsense Nemesis: 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.
One-Steve Limit: He is not to be confused with Joseph Carver the leader of Black Hole, who debuts one season later than him.
Straight Man: He plays the more serious voice of reason to his boss's more hammy, theatrical nature.
Undying Loyalty: Is fiercely loyal to Goldface through thick and thin.
Villains Out Shopping: He apparently attends book club with his boss, which he accidentally reveals to the heroes, to Goldface's embarassement.

Eden Corps

Veronica Dale

Species: Human

Played by: Bernardette Saquibal

First Appearance: "Enter Flashtime" (The Flash 4x15)

Appearances: The Flash

The leader of Eden Corps, an eco-terrorist cult.

Eco-Terrorist: Animal liberator turned terrorist.
Mundanger: Barry's speed upgrades could have not work against her, even if she is a normal human. She almost blows up Central City.
Near-Villain Victory: She nearly blows all of Central City. Her bomb already exploded when Barry used Flashtime and could only learn to stop it after Iris had an "Eureka!" Moment.
Rogues' Gallery Transplant: Veronica Dale/Hyrax was originally a Green Arrow villain. In Season 7 of Arrow, a character named Keven Dale was leading Eden Corps in the future.
Two First Names: Per the DC Comics norm.

Blood Brothers

In General

Zombie-like creatures that are the result of Ramsey Rosso/Bloodwork infecting civilians with his dark matter infused blood. They obey his commands and share a Psychic Link with their master.

Artificial Zombie: Blood Brothers are intentionally created by Bloodwork as his loyal minions and originate through tampering with nature.
Body Horror: As zombie-like creatures this is already a given, though these ones being Artificial Zombies 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 Empty Piles of Clothing.
Empty Piles of Clothing: 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.
In Name Only: They have no relation to the Blood Brothers from the comics.
Our Zombies Are Different: The fourth instance of zombies in the Arrowverse, these ones being Technically Living Zombies resulting from experimental dark matter and chemicals. The previous instances were Tony Woodard, the zombie confederates, and the Black Flash.
Psychic Link: All of the Blood Brothers share a telepathic connection with Bloodwork.
Technically-Living Zombie: With the exception of Mitch Romero and a few of Ramsey’s hospital victims, who were reanimated, most of the Blood Brothers are still living humans who have become infected. This leads the CCPD to take care in not killing them.
Zombie Apocalypse: Bloodwork's ultimate goal appears to be infecting the entire population with "life eternal".
Zombie Gait: All of the Blood Brothers walk in this manner, hobbling about and snarling.
The Virus: Any contact with Bloodwork, his infected blood, or one of his followers will convert a person into another Blood Brother.

Dr. Ramsey Rosso/Bloodwork

Ramsey Rosso

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ramsey.jpg

"I am saving lives, Flash! MINE!"

Species: Metahuman

Known Aliases: Bloodwork

Played By: Sendhil Ramamurthy

First Appearance: "Into the Void" (The Flash 6x1)

Appearances: The Flash

"I will never accept death. Not like you did."

A former colleague of Caitlin Snow whose experiments transform him into a metahuman with the power to control blood.

Actually Not a Vampire: He has blood-based powers, needs to feed on blood to survive, is an Immortality Seeker, and his victims are either transformed or reanimated as zombie-like creatures under his command.
Adaptational Backstory Change: His origin is largely reinvented for the show. His hemophilia is changed to HLH cancer and is given a recently deceased mother as motivation.
Adaptational Job Change: As noted below, he goes from a CCPD coroner to a medical researcher.
Adaptation Origin Connection: 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.
Adaptational Superpower Change: While his main power is 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.
Affably Evil: 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.
Alliterative Name: Ramsey Rosso.
Applied Phlebotinum: The secret ingredient to his cure for cancer? Dark matter of course.
Arc Villain: For the first half of Season 6, subtitled Blood and Truth.
Ascended Extra: 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 Arc Villain of Season Six.
Big Bad Friend: He and Caitlin were old friends prior to his obsession with curing HLH turning him evil.
Big Bad Slippage: 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".
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: 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.
Black Eyes of Evil: His eyes change to pure black to indicate his metahuman status, and he's the main antagonist of the first half of Season 6.
Bloody Murder: His main power is controlling blood, which he is able to shoot out.
Brought Down to Normal: 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.
Casting Gag: A scientist researching superpowers with good intentions, whose screw-ups end up causing grief for everyone? Rosso is basically the Arrowverse version of Mohinder Suresh.
Composite Character: He takes Reverse-Flash's place as the one who would infect the Flash and turn him Brainwashed and Crazy complete with black colored lightning, dubbed Dark Flash^note.
Contrasting Sequel Antagonist:
- Unlike Orlin, who was a middle-class factory worker without much education, Rosso is a brilliant doctor.
  - Also, while Cicada gained his (and later her) powers completely by accident, in Bloodwork's case it was a direct result of experimenting on himself with Dark Matter.
  - Lastly, while both were Driven to Villainy 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.
- Downplayed with all other major villains as he is a Mad Scientist. Also with DeVoe in particular, as a Well-Intentioned Extremist.
- He is the first Arc Villain to avert Superhero Movie Villains Die as he gets incarcerated alive rather than being killed, Ret Goned, or receiving a Fate Worse than Death.
- He's the first Big Bad to have no connection to lightning. Thawne, Zoom, Savitar and DeVoe all got their powers after being struck by lightning or electricity, and the Cicadas used a lightning shaped dagger as their signature weapon. Bloodwork on the other hand got his powers via his personal experimentation.
Cure for Cancer: His ultimate goal which overlaps with Immortality Seeker.
Dark Messiah: While he doesn't quite declare himself a god, he does see himself as a savior of humanity and granting everyone with his "life eternal".
Drunk on the Dark Side: The well-meaning scientist seen early in the season is all but gone and is soon replaced by a maniacal Serial Killer who thirsts for blood and is concerned with no one but himself.
Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: 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.
Even Evil Has Standards: He shows disgust at seeing Eva's willingness to sacrifice the Reflections she made.
Evil Brit: He's depicted as this, possibly as a British Indian.
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: 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.
Evil Counterpart:
- 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 The Chosen One and at times views his powers as a burden as he didn’t ask to get chosen, while Ramsey gave himself his powers and ends up being Drunk on the Dark Side.
- In certain scenes, he ends up being one to Ralph. Both of them have powers that allow them to have Extendable Arms and body distortion, while also capable of Building Swinging. Ramsey even points out to Ralph that both of their powers work at a molecular level.
Evil Former Friend: He becomes this to Caitlin.
Evil Gloating: He makes sure to bring Cisco and Iris in front of him so that he can gloat about his Evil Plan and make them understand the scope of their failure.
Evil Makes You Ugly: His Super Mode 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.
Evilutionary Biologist: Genuinely seeks to improve humanity through biology.
Fatal Flaw: The same thing that drives his immoral actions, his crippling fear of death, makes him sloppy and short-sighted.
Final Boss: He's the last Pre-Crisis villain that Team Flash has to fight.
Foil: To DeVoe, in the sense that both are Evil Geniuses who believe 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 had a loved one who he dearly cared for but ended up becoming detached from her after losing his sense of empathy, while Ramsey straight from the start turned on his mother and had nothing but disgust towards her accepting death.
For Science!: Not his number one motivation for evildoing, but definitely one of them.
Glass Cannon: 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 Super Mode however, where he's substantially tougher and actually overwhelms The Flash in battle.
God Is Evil: 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.
Hoist by His Own Petard: His plan of infecting Barry backfired on him, as Barry foresaw that Cisco and Iris would figure the solution and he would make him hallucinate about his mother.
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.
Immortality Seeker: His endgame is to prevent death itself for everyone. Once he has the power to prevent death, he dubs himself, "Life eternal".
Interim Villain: Slightly downplayed as he is a dangerous and full-fledged Big Bad 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 Foregone Conclusion.
It's All About Me: 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.
Knight of Cerebus: Word of God has described him as "the most chilling villain Team Flash has ever faced."
Laughably Evil: His return in Season 9, makes him a lot less serious and has him cracking more jokes, such as a Imagine Spot in Barry's mind where he acts as the director of Barry's life.
Lovecraftian Superpower: His blood powers allow him to produce tendrils made of his black gooey blood. He can also infect people and take over their mind where they become zombie-like slaves at his command, including The Flash. His powers also function like a 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.
Mad Scientist: He experimented on himself - testing a cure for cancer using dark matter - to acquire his powers.
Manipulative Bastard: Upon his return in Season 9, he demonstrates a lot of skill in psychologically getting into someone's head, successfully corrupting Wally and turning him against Barry.
Morally Ambiguous Doctorate: Very shady indeed even before his transformation.
Meaningful Name: Rosso means "red" in Italian. Fitting for someone who can control and manipulate blood.
Moral Myopia: He sees himself as Above Good and Evil and that the true evil is death, along with anyone who tries to stop him like the so-called heroes of Team Flash.
Mortality Phobia: Being afraid of being killed by cancer like his mother seems to be his prime motivation.
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.
Not Me This Time: 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.
Obviously Evil: 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.
One-Steve Limit: Averted with the Bus Meta Ramsey Deacon a.k.a. Kilg%re.
One-Winged Angel: Transforms into a hideous monstrosity in his fight with the Flash.
Painful Transformation: His initial transformation into Bloodwork is shown to be rather agonizing.
Power Echoes: In his Bloodwork form, his voice is given a reverb effect.
The Power of Blood: His main gimmick is being able to control blood.
Professor Guinea Pig: Like every comic-book Mad Scientist ever, he gains his powers by experimenting on himself.
Race Lift: He's portrayed as Asian as opposed to his white (possibly Italian) comic counterpart.
Remember the New Guy?: Introduced already as an old friend of Caitlin, who even Barry knew, yet he was never previously brought up ever in the series.
Returning Big Bad: After serving as the Arc Villain 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.
Super Mode: Able to transform into a gigantic monster form.
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: He returns to the trend of a Mad Scientist villain and creates metas.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: 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.

Mitch Romero

Species: Metahuman (Undead)

Played By: Shawn Stewart

First Appearance: "A Flash of the Lightning" (The Flash 6x2)

Appearances: The Flash

An arms dealer who gets fatally injured during a meeting with Ramsey Rosso, but gets resurrected as a mindless zombie.

Back from the Dead: The strange nature of Ramsey’s dark matter infused blood brings him back to life as a zombie.
Bald of Evil: Not a hair on his head.
Beard of Evil: A rather scrubby one.
Karmic Death: Tried to rip Ramsey off during their deal and then promptly tried to shoot him when he objected. Not a big loss there.
Ludicrous Gibs: After Barry and Killer Frost overload him with dark matter, he violently explodes.
Moving the Goalposts: In his deal with Ramsey, Romero raises the price of his weapon exponentially to the point of extortion.
Nigh-Invulnerable: He barely feels anything in his resurrected state.
Shout-Out Theme Naming: His surname being Romero is a reference to George A. Romero, a famous icon in the Zombie Apocalypse genre.
Starter Villain: The first of the Blood Brothers to be created by Bloodwork.
Super-Strength: Has it after his resurrection. Even enough to break out of the Pipeline.
Villain of the Week: For the third episode of The Flash Season 6.

Barry Allen/Dark Flash

see the Arrowverse: Barry Allen page

Team Flash

see the Arrowverse: Team Flash page

Black Hole

A mysterious organization that operates under McCulloch Technologies led by Joseph Carver. They are known for employing metahuman assassins.

Adaptation Origin Connection: In the comics, Black Hole had no relation to Mirror Master, instead being a group of Rogue scientists who study the Speed Force.
Elite Mooks: They employ powerful metas to do their dirty work.
Evil, Inc.: A subset of McCulloch Technologies.
Identically Powered Team: For some reason, they only employ light-based meta-humans, likely in relation to their Ironic Name. The only exception seems to be Rag Doll.
Ironic Name: They're called Black Hole, but their agents are light-based meta-humans (with one exception).

Leadership

Joseph Carver

Species: Human

Played By: Eric Nenninger

First Appearance: "Marathon" (The Flash 6x10)

Appearances: The Flash

The CEO of McCulloch Technologies and leader of Black Hole.

Adaptational Attractiveness: He's not covered in burn scars like his comic counterpart.
Adaptational Wimp: 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 Non-Action Big Bad who does not have any fighting ability himself.
Big Bad Wannabe: He is the official leader of Black Hole, but gets hamstrung by Iris in his debut. He is later killed by Eva.
Blackmail: His modus operandi is blackmailing people. He forced other Black Hole members to join and assist him in his criminal affairs.
Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: The first major villain in the series without any powers, fighting skills, or possibly even scientific acumen. That said, he's not quite a full-blown Big Bad, being more of an Arc Villain.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He genuinely loved Eva prior to the particle accelerator explosion that trapped her in the Mirrorverse, and it's even somewhat implied that he may have been an outright good guy prior to the incident. 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 Right for the Wrong Reasons: 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.
Every Man Has His Price: 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.
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: In Carver's mind, the world runs on "Screw the Rules, I Have Money!". The concept of people who can't be bribed is complete nonsense to him.
Foreshadowing:
- 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.
- Some of his last words 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.
I Need a Freaking Drink: He downs a shot of whiskey in one gulp when he encounters Eva again.
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: In the Season 6 finale, he takes a mirror shard to the torso and dies.
It's All About Me: He hid knowledge about Iris being kidnapped in the Mirrorverse because it was convenient for him.
Non-Action Big Bad: He's a Corrupt Corporate Executive with connections to powerful metahuman assassins and dangerous technology, but doesn't appear to have any powers himself.
One-Steve Limit: He is not to be confused with the Carver who serves as Goldface's lieutenant.
Related in the Adaptation: He's married to Eva McCulloch in this incarnation. In the comics, they have no relation.
Right for the Wrong Reasons. After Eva kills him, with his dying breath he 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.
Smug Snake: He always shows a prideful demeanor and rejects Flash's help until after his minions are kidnapped.

Eva McCulloch / Mirror Monarch

Dr. Eva McCulloch / Mirror Monarch

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eva_24.png

"You just stay out of my way, Flash, and I'll stay out of yours. I have unfinished business to attend to, and a whole world to liberate."

Species: Metahuman (Reflection)

Known Aliases: Mirror Monarch

Played By: Efrat Dor

First Appearance: "A Girl Named Sue" (The Flash 6x12)

Appearances: The Flash

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.

Season 7 opens with the revelation that she, in fact, is Dead All Along 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.

see the Arrowverse: Earth-2 page for the male pre-Crisis Earth-2 character who bears her name and background

Adaptation Name Change: She is renamed "Eva" from "Evan" to accommodate the Gender Flip. This also applies to her supervillain moniker which is now "Mirror Monarch" instead of "Mirror Master".
Affably Evil: 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.
And I Must Scream: She's been trapped in the Mirrorverse for the better part of six years.
Anti-Villain: 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.
Arc Villain: 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
Arm Cannon: Eva's suit allows her to use an arm cannon to facilitate her to use her glass powers.
Bad Boss: Once her Reflections stop being useful for her, she will dispose of them.
Blue-and-Orange Morality: Her sense of justice and logic is heavily warped. This may be attributed to her being a mirror clone.
Breaking Old Trends: She's the first Arc Villain to perform a Heel–Face Turn and survive doing so at the end of her arc.
Capture and Replicate: Her M.O. is to abduct people from the real world and hold them captive in the Mirrorverse, while sending out mirror duplicates of them into the real world to impersonate them and further her agenda.
Catchphrase: She often states "Success is assured".
Character Tics: She often scratches her arm in a nervous fashion, whether or not she's 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.
Clone Army: 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.
Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames: She's not called Mirror Master, on account of Sam Scudder being introduced earlier. In "Mother", she refers to herself as "Mirror Monarch" instead.
Composite Character: She's a Gender Flip of Evan McCulloch, but she seems to take more after the Animal Man villain Prismatik, a scientist (and Evan's daughter in an Alternate Universe) who managed to weaponize mirrors. She also ends up adopting the name Mirror Monarch, which is the name of a Future Badass good version of Mirror Master.
Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: The second major villain to be female. In addition she's the only one to start off as a Big Bad Ensemble of Evil Versus Evil against her husband Joseph Carver.
Dead All Along: 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.
Dead Alternate Counterpart: 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.
Despair Event Horizon: 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.
Don't Make Me Destroy You: In an Affably Evil tone, she constantly pleads for Barry Allen and his team not to interfere in her plans since she doesn't want to attack them.
Easily Forgiven: 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.
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: 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.
Evil Counterpart: 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.
Evil All Along: She seems a distressed victim, but she has a secret agenda of kidnapping and duplicating people.
Evil Versus Evil: 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 Corrupt Corporate Executive and high-ranking member (possibly even leader and creator) of an international criminal syndicate.
False Friend: 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.
Foil:
- She can create a personal army like Ramsey Rosso, but instead of brainwashing people with cursed blood, she clones them.
- 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.
- 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.
- Like Savitar, she has a Dark and Troubled Past that caused her to be Driven to Villainy and is later revealed to actually be a clone. Both have Evil Plans involving Iris, however, Savitar is mostly motivated by self-preservation while Eva is driven by revenge and later a Suicidal Cosmic Temper Tantrum.
Gender Flip: She is a female version of Evan McCulloch.
Go Mad from the Isolation: 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 Mirrorverse naturally drives humans insane.
Hannibal Lecture: She tries to bring the Flash to her side by telling him that he doesn't get the recognition he deserves.
Heel Realization: In the end of her arc, Barry and Iris manage to make her see reason and stop her scheming.
In Name Only: She's a Gender Flip 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 Hitman with a Heart motivated by greed.
A Lighter Shade of Black: While she's still a threat and treated as such, her acts of villainy are largely lesser than Ramsey or her husband.
Love Redeems: She's the second Arc Villain after Orlin Dwyer to be redeemed. But unlike Dwyer, she lives at the end of her arc.
The Maiden Name Debate: She never uses the surname Carver.
The Man Behind the Monsters: She's a meta-human that can create and boss around "mirror clones".
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 taking out the entire population and replacing them with mirror clones.
Mirror Monster: She has special control over mirrors. Her comic-book namesake did have the moniker "Mirror Master", after all.
Moral Myopia: 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.
Movie Superheroes Wear Black: 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.
Not Wearing Tights: 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.
Obfuscating Insanity: 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.
One Bad Mother: 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".
Power Incontinence: 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.
Redemption Earns Life: She uses the second chance given to her by Barry and Iris to start anew in the Mirrorverse.
Reflective Teleportation: Like Scudder, Eva was trapped in a mirror and gained reflective teleportation powers from the S.T.A.R. labs particle accelerator explosion.
Related in the Adaptation: She's married to Joseph Carver in this incarnation. In the comics, this is not the case.
Retcon: With her introduction, the Mirror Gun is quietly retconned as not disintegrating the target but in fact reconstructing the target into the Mirrorverse.
Superior Successor: 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 Manipulative Bitch able to plant moles in the heroes' organization and remain undetected for extensive periods while slowly hatching her Evil Plan. 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.
Teleport Gun: She has Mirror Iris steal the mirror gun, initially believed to be a disintegrator, but actually revealed to transport targets to the Mirrorverse.
That Man Is Dead: 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".
Til Murder Do Us Part: 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.
Tomato in the Mirror: She's the mirror duplicate of the original Eva.
Tragic Villain: 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.
Villainous Breakdown: 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.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: She genuinely thinks she's doing what's good for humanity, even if people tell her otherwise.
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Eva thinks nothing of sacrificing her mirror clones for her own gain.
Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: She ultimately becomes one, intending to create her own "perfect world" by replacing everyone with mirror copies without realizing the ramifications of her actions.

Peter Merkel/Rag Doll

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rag_doll.png

Species: Metahuman

Known Aliases: Rag Doll

Played By: Troy James

Voiced By: Phil LaMarr

First Appearance: "All Doll'd Up" (The Flash 5x5)

Appearances: The Flash

A metahuman who gained his powers of the night on 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.

Aborted Arc: A deleted scene had Rag Doll meeting Mardon in Iron Heights who appeared to recruit him into the Rogues. Nothing comes of this encounter.
Abnormal Limb Rotation Range: 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.
Achievement In Ignorance: 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.
Adaptational Nice Guy: While still quite a jerk here, his comics counterpart was far far worse, being a rapist and a child-abusing psycho.
Air-Vent Passageway: He can not only squeeze himself through the average air vent but also pull himself through the grates.
Animal Motifs: 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 Running on All Fours.
Antagonistic Offspring: In his first appearance, he specifically targets people that he believes have connections with his mother.
Body Horror: His metahuman ability allows him to contort his body in any way he desires.
Composite Character: Merkel combines traits of both Peter Merkel, Sr. and Peter Merkel, Jr. from the comics.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Contortionist: One taken to superhuman levels. His actor is actually a real life contortionist.
Death Seeker: 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.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Despite being estranged from his mother, he was still saddened by her death and led him to become a Death Seeker
Evil Counterpart: Built up to be an evil Ralph, with both of them able to manipulate their bodies.
Evil Redhead: Has brilliant red dreadlocks reminiscent of a Raggedy Andy doll.
Evil Sounds Deep: Phil LaMarr gives him a very deep voice.
Exorcist Head: He is able to do this via his Rubber Man powers.
The Faceless: 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.
Hope Crusher: 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.
Knight of Cerebus: Easily one of the most terrifying villains to ever appear on The Flash due to how downright creepy he is. His appearance marks a much darker tonal shift than the usual Villain of the Week metas.
Leitmotif: Has an equally twisted music piece to accompany him as he twists and contorts his body
Lonely Rich Kid: 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.
Malevolent Masked Men: Wears a particularly creepy mask as Rag Doll.
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: In his attempt to break Iris, he gave her a great opportunity to redeem herself at the eyes of her daughter Nora.
The One Guy:
- He's the only male member of the Young Rogues.
- When he gets recruited by Black Hole, he's once again the only male operative.
Personality Powers: Emotionally broken and a little twisted, his entire body was broken and he was left capable of twisting himself however he wanted.
Phantom Thief: Has shades of this. He's an impossible thief due to his Rubber Man powers allowing to infiltrate anywhere, and he steals specific objects that allow him to cause pain to his victims.
Race Lift: He is Caucasian in the comics, while here his actor and voice actor are both African-American.
Rogues' Gallery Transplant: Rag Doll is usually either a Jay Garrick or Batman villain.
Rubber Man: 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.
Running on All Fours: 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.
Sickening "Crunch!": Accompanies him as he twists. Contrasting the cute squeaky sound that accompanies Ralph.
Squashed Flat: 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.
Stealth Expert: Gets a lot of mileage out of his powers for infiltration, at one point appearing in the background of a crowded room observing Barry and Iris.
Super-Toughness: He is able to survive a building collapse and emerge from the rubble unphased.
Unhand Them, Villain!: 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 a nonchalante "Okay" before letting Barry fall.
Weak, but Skilled: 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.

Mirror Duplicates

In General

Clone Angst: With the Mirror Iris, the idea is teased on whether she was her own person or just a blind minion with no independence. Ultimately she chooses to defect from Eva McCulloch and dies for her efforts.
Co-Dragons: Eva McCulloch's who mostly share equal power.
Evil Knockoff: They are mirror duplicates created by Eva McCulloch to serve as her agents in the real world.
Expendable Clone: 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 outlive their usefulness, failed her, or if the death of them gives her a tactical advantage.
Fake Memories: One reason they're extremely effective at being The Mole 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.
Humanoid Abomination: 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 Bizarre Alien Biology.
The Mole: They were all planted on Earth-Prime to take impersonate the person they were based off and serve Eva McCulloch.

Mirror Iris

Species: Reflection

Played By: Candice Patton

First Appearance: "Love Is A Battlefield" (The Flash 6x11)

Appearances: The Flash

A mysterious duplicate of Iris that takes her place when she is entrapped.

Alternate Company Equivalent: She's more or less the Arrowverse's version of the T-1000, being a shapeshifter who can form blades from her skin. She's also something of a counterpart for the second T-800, since she proves capable of forming attachments and independent thought despite her nature.
Asshole Victim: Subverted. While Mirror.Iris is a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing 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.
Bed Trick: Heavily implied, since she deceived Barry into thinking she is the real Iris...
Berserk Button: She does not like people treating her like a Damsel in Distress, or even the implication.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: 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.
Brainy Brunette: The only trait she has in common with Iris is her creative intelligence.
Death Equals Redemption: After Iris points out that Eva still loves Carver and Mirror Iris decides to take her own decisions, Eva kills her.
Dying as Yourself: She dies after deciding to take her own decisions and breaking free of Eva's hold, encouraging Barry to rescue Iris.
The Dragon: 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 Co-Dragons.
Even Evil Has Standards: She is uncomfortable with Eva sacrificing her clones.
Hair-Trigger Temper: She's much easier to set off and more confrontational than the real Iris. She will not accept any no for an answer.
The Heavy: With Carver forced to keep himself out of the limelight and Eva stuck in the Mirrorverse, Mirror Iris does most of the hands-on work for the second half of Season 6.
Kubrick Stare: She gives the normal Iris an indirect one through a mirror.
Magic Mirror: Much like Eva, she can also use mirrors as portals.
Revealing Hug: She drops her guise mid-hug with Barry.
Shapeshifter Weapon: Able to form her hands into mirror blades and use them as offensive weapons.
Stepford Smiler: She acts as cheery as the original Iris until she gets a moment to drop the act.
Supreme Chef: Her pancakes are vastly better than those of the original Iris.
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: 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 Death Equals Redemption moment.

Mirror Kamilla

Mirror-Kamilla

Species: Reflection

Played By: Victoria Park

First Appearance: "The Exorcism of Nash Wells" (The Flash 6x15)

Appearances: The Flash

The Mirrorverse counterpart of Kamilla Hwang.

Co-Dragons: Alongside Mirror-Iris for Eva McCulloch.
Expendable Clone: Eva doesn't have any trouble disposing of her, much to Bloodwork and Mirror Iris's discomfort.
Sacrificial Lamb: She was sacrificed to get Bloodwork's infected blood.

Mirror Singh

Species: Reflection

Played By: Patrick Sabongui

First Appearance: "The Exorcism of Nash Wells" (The Flash 6x15)

Appearances: The Flash

The Mirrorverse counterpart of David Singh.

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: He can perfectly replicate Singh's caring cop demeanor.
Dirty Cop: He is taking over Singh's role and is an agent for Eva.
Expendable Clone: Eva shatters him as a way to get the drop on Flash.
Flat Character: Has no characterization beyond his Undying Loyalty to Eva.
Friend on the Force: The Mole for Eva McCulloch in the CCPD.
Master Actor: Despite being a Flat Character, he could easily deceive Barry, Joe and Rob into believing he was the real Singh.
Not So Similar: Like Mirror Iris, he is a mirror duplicate of a good person. However, unlike Iris, appealing to the qualities of the real Singh doesn't work with him since he is unfailingly loyal to Eva.
The One Guy: The only male member of Eva McCulloch's faction.
Redemption Rejection: He rejects Barry's attempts to appeal to his heart and remains loyal to Eva.
Undying Loyalty: He is staunchly loyal to Eva and refuses to listen to Barry's pleads. It's more evident since he always calls her "mother".

Sam Scudder

A metahuman criminal who went by the name Mirror Master. He is revealed to be the first mirror duplicate created by McCulloch.
