20 DC Characters Who Could Yet Appear In Arrow And The Flash

12. Black Flash

Black Flash

Now at one stage in the game, this one would’ve been the one massive, massive long shot on this list, but now the use of the Black Flash could be just about crazy enough to work.

The fact that The Flash has got fans eagerly anticipating the full-on arrival of a super-strong, super-quick, talking, psionic-powered gorilla shows how well the show has handled its heroes and villains so far. As such, somebody like Black Flash is now an intriguing option.

With a whole host of speedsters rumoured for Season 2 of The Flash, Black Flash could very well come into the fold… especially if they decide to go a certain way with the show’s current Reverse-Flash.

Black Flash is essentially the Grim Reaper of those with super-speed. If Harrison Wells/Eobard Thawne/Reverse-Flash is offed at some point then we could be seeing Black Flash sooner than anyone would have thought possible.
