The pilot for ‘The Flash’ has already been screened at Comic-Con and has leaked on line, so I don’t consider it too big a spoiler to say that the first villain that the titular hero battles is classic rogue, Weather Wizard, played by Chad Rook. In this take, the villain is an actual metahuman, not the magic wand-wielding crook from the comics.
The clip also trots out some additional new footage, including Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes) presenting Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) with his super costume. You can check out the clip for yourself below:
After a particle accelerator causes a freak storm, CSI Investigator Barry Allen is struck by lightning and falls into a coma. Months later he awakens with the power of super speed, granting him the ability to move through Central City like an unseen guardian angel. Though initially excited by his new-found powers, Barry is shocked to discover he is not the only “meta-human” who was created in the wake of the accelerator explosion — and not everyone is using their new powers for good. Barry partners with S.T.A.R. Labs and dedicates his life to protect the innocent. For now, only a few close friends and associates know that Barry is literally the fastest man alive, but it won’t be long before the world learns what Barry Allen has become …The Flash.
We already know that Captain Cold (played by Wentworth Miller) and Girder (Greg Finley) are also on the way. What other rogues would you like to see on ‘The Flash’?
‘The Flash’ stars Grant Gustin, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes, Jesse L. Martin, Candice Patton, Tom Cavanagh, Rick Cosnett, and John Wesley Shipp.
