Where Will The Flash Go In Season 2 After That Mindblowing Season Finale?

Recommended Videos

Speaking of Reverse Flash, it’s very unlikely that he is gone for good. He is the true anti-Flash and being regarded as one of the best live-action comic villains ever, it is hard to imagine him being gone for good. Not to mention the fact that right after the finale ended, it was revealed that Cavanagh would be a series regular once again in season 2. Before the finale, many speculated that he could be used in a Hannibal Lecter style, as we kind of saw with him in the pipeline in the finale. However, with him being seemingly gone forever, there will have to be another way.

One possibility could be that real Harrison Wells could be introduced, but it’s hard to know if he actually exists. While Eddie sacrificed himself to make Eobard never exist, other events like the death of Barry’s mom appear to still be in tact, though the black hole could be caused as a result of a paradox with Eobard’s disappearance. That makes the bringing back of the real Harrison Wells kind of tricky, but it is entirely possible.

The other option would be for Cavanagh as Eobard Thawne to somehow come back, which I really hope he somehow does. Cavanagh played this role to perfection and to lose that entirely moving forward would really take something away from this show. With time travel and parallel universes both on the table, anything is possible and I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw him back at some point in that role, even if he is also on the show as the real Harrison Wells.

The aforementioned death of Eddie was quite a tragic one and mirrored Tommy Merlyn’s death in the season 1 finale of Arrow as well. Both were very likable side characters that were many thought would turn evil due to their last name, but instead served as red herrings. Each of the two dated the character that Barry and Oliver Queen were supposed to marry in the comics respectively, though Arrow took that a little more liberally. While Tommy has stayed dead, the ending to the finale really makes it look like Eddie could in fact return.

The-Flash-7

The producers have made it clear that Rick Cosnett will not return as a regular in season two, but didn’t rule out his return in some way. This could just mean flashbacks or something, but also leaves it open for him to return in another way. There are a few different ways they could handle that, the first of which is just somehow he is revived in another “Earth” after being sucked into the vortex.

Another theory that many have come up with is that he would end up as the villainous Cobalt Blue. In the comics this character is named Malcolm Thawne, the twin brother of Barry Allen that was told to be a stillborn to Nora Allen, but instead was given to the Thawne family that had their child die during childbirth. They were split up and Malcolm ended up being raised by criminals and was in trouble with the law often himself. Later in life, Malcolm found out the truth and began watching Barry and saw his hatred grow for Barry. Malcolm’s anger was placed into a talisman that turned him into Cobalt Blue, a villain that can take the speed away from speedsters, making him a very tough foe for any version of the Flash. The biggest reason people started to speculate about this outside of the Thawne name is the fact that they mentioned that the new time ship was coated in cobalt so that it could make it through the trip.

I personally would not like to see Eddie be turned into a villain, unless it was a case where it was not of his own volition, akin to Marvel’s Winter Soldier. This could work with some believing that somehow the black hole could warp his mind to where it isn’t even his own anymore and he ends up becoming the new Reverse Flash. That would be an interesting take and something that could be worth seeing.
