The Flash Season 3: 8 Speedsters Who Should Appear
5. Savitar
Much like some of the other characters on
this list, Savitar is someone who came to prominence during the years where
Wally West took over the moniker of The Flash following the death of Barry
Allen.
Having received superspeed after a plane he was piloting was struck by lightning, Savitar began to master his newfound power in ways like very few before him had, even putting together his own cult.
What made Savitar so deadly for so long was
his ability to actually strip other speedsters of their superspeed. That’s
where Wally’s trump card came into play, with Wally West’s direct link to the
Speed Force acting as a neutralizer against Savitar’s attacks.
If The CW were looking to introduce another villainous speedster to their DC world, they could do far worse than take a look at Savitar, whether that’s to have him target Wally or simply give him a tweak and have him become an antagonist of Barry Allen's instead.
