10 Characters That Could Appear In The Arrowverse
4. Godspeed
Show: The Flash
August Heart, aka Godspeed, is an antihero speedster, and like many comic book characters, he has a sad backstory. His brother, Jorge, was killed by a gangster but the killer was acquitted of all charges due to a lack of evidence. In the comics, Heart worked with Barry at the Central City Police Department and witnessed Barry getting struck by the lightning bolt that gave him his powers. However, the lightning bolt also destroyed the evidence that would have convicted Jorge's killer. Once he learns that Barry is The Flash, he forms a hatred for The Scarlet Speedster.
Godspeed would be a fantastic antagonist on The Flash as he would have an understandable reason to hate Barry. Thawne's reason to hate Barry was that he hated a different version of Barry, Zoom wanted power, and Savitar was just there. The gift that gave Barry his speed is the same gift that caused Jorge's killer to walk free.
The Flash is at its best when Team Flash is up against an evil speedster. Unlike the other speedsters to appear in the show, Godspeed is fast enough to be able to produce a clone of himself and be in two places at once. This is the type of danger and suspense that would make The Flash the must-see show that it used to be.
