10 Most Underrated Flash Villains

9. Peek-a-Boo

Trickster Flash
DC Comics

Lashawn Baez's latent teleportation abilities were activated during a kidney donation procedure intended to save her father's life. However, her abilities would be activated any time she was touched, making the procedure impossible to conduct.

The desperate medical school student decided to take matters into her own hands and find a kidney suitable for her dying father. Dubbing herself Peek-a-Boo, Baez broke into Central City Hospital but failed in her mission due to her powers' destructive side effects.

This placed her on a collision course with the Flash and Cyborg, who defeated her through specialized uses of their abilities to counter her own. She was imprisoned in Iron Heights under harsh conditions, despite the Flash's pleas to keep her in relative safety.

Later on, Gorilla Grodd raided the prison and set a large number of prisoners free, with Lashawn being one of them. She took the opportunity to check on her father, who had since passed on due to complications from his newly received kidney. Dejected, she turned herself in because of her loss and the treatment she endured at the hands of her favourite heroes.
