Peek-a-Boo is a terrible name for a villain, but the alter-ego of Lashawn Baez could fit nicely into the world established in the CW series (as long as they get rid of her iconic roller skates). Her teleportation powers are simple enough to translate to a television budget, she's got a relatable and grounded origin story, and she would fit well within what appears to be the show's "freak of the week" format. Lashawn Baez was a grad student at Central City Medical School, who put aside her studies in order to take car of her sick father, Tomas Baez, who's in need of a kidney transplant. Lashawn tried donating her own kidney, but the operation activated a once-dormant meta-gene that granted her teleportation powers. However, the new ability comes with one major side effect: she teleports whenever she's touched, making it literally impossible for the doctors to operate on her. Instead of donating her own organ, Lashawn decides to steal a kidney from someone else and give it to her father. However, with her newfound powers still not under control, she accidentally destroyed the lab when a doctor attempted to grab her by the arm, which set off an implosion that caused her to disappear and nearly killed the surgeon. She's eventually taken down by The Flash and Cyborg, and sentenced to Iron Heights prison. Eventually, her father dies because his body rejects a new kidney that he's given, and Lashawn joins The Rogues.
