The Flash: 11 Big Questions We're Asking After 'Rupture'

3. Can The Show Handle So Many Speedsters?

If the show is indeed giving us Wally West and Jesse Quick now, then that means we're going to have at least four speedsters running around in the final few episodes of Season 2, and 3 heroes next year if they all remain on Earth-1.

Although that's something that does stem from the comics, it could become an issue on the show, depending on how it handles them. We've seen numerous archers appear over on Arrow, which has somewhat distilled the Green Arrow's own abilities.

There's a risk of something similar happening on the Flash if there's a team of speedsters, and some more villainous ones as well. Is the show capable of balancing all of them, or will they need to send some to other universes?
