20 Greatest Arrowverse Villains
16. Savitar
The Flash’s third season nemesis was yet another speed-derived villain threatening Barry Allen’s family. Reverse Flash killed his mother, Zoom killed his father and Savitar murdered (or would murder) his future wife, Iris.
Repetitive, longwinded storytelling aside (season three was not the show’s finest hour), what makes Savitar - the self-styled God Of Speed - such a great villain?
Well, there’s that scary-ass battle armour, which freaked the hell out of Flash fans when Savitar was first revealed in season three’s ‘Shade’.
But it was the second reveal that really put the cat among the pigeons, fourteen episodes later when Barry finally figured out why his archenemy was always one step ahead of them… because he remembered everything that was happening.
Savitar was Barry Allen himself: or rather, an insane time remnant of the Flash from the near future, the victim of a time loop in which he is destined to create himself only to destroy himself, over and over.
