The Flash: 10 Characters Who Should Join Season 3

Citizen Abra is a Flash villain from the future. To be precise, he’s a Flash villain from the 64th century.

Given how The Flash as a show has incorporated time-travel previously, there’s certainly an easy way to explain Abra Kadabra’s presence in the show, although the series could just as easily make the rogue a fun one-and-done sort of light-hearted hero to raise the mood during some of Season 3’s more intense and darker moments.

Abra Kadabra is basically a magician from the future who gets miffed that, in a world of advanced technology and science, nobody appreciates the tricks that he has to offer. He goes back in time to the present day of Barry Allen, where he initially wows audiences with his future magic. Once that novelty wears off, though, and the attention on him dies down, Abra ends up turning to a life of crime in order to keep himself in the public eye.

Basically, think of Abra Kadabra as an egomaniac magician from the future who craves nothing more than the spotlight. And who wouldn’t want to see Cisco having some fun on naming duties with this villain? That right there could be TV gold.

Abra Kadabra would be the perfect fit to mesh in well with the often lighter tone of some of The Flash's episodes, allowing Barry to take a break from the broader 'big bad' of the new season.
