‘The Flash’ winter finale spoilers: Who is the Reverse Flash?
While we’ve come to meet many villains throughout the first season of “The Flash,” the jury is still out on the Big Bad: The man in the yellow suit. We may know who this man is from a comic-book perspective, but does that mean the show is going in the same direction? Hardly. Just look at how “Arrow” changed things up already with the Tommy Merlyn story; that proves that almost anything is possible depending on what suits the show.
What we’ll at least tell you for now is that some further information on this nefarious Reverse Flash will be revealed come the winter finale, which is fittingly titled “The Man in the Yellow Suits.” The synopsis below gives you some more clues as to what will be coming up, and also a big moment between Eddie and Iris that could change everything:
“Barry (Grant Gustin) finds himself face-to-face with his nemesis, the man in the yellow suit, a.k.a. Reverse Flash, who killed his mother. Barry is frustrated when the Reverse Flash escapes, but Dr. Wells (Tom Cavanagh) and Cisco (Carlos Valdes) come up with a plan to trap him. All they need is bait, so they turn to Dr. Tina McGee (guest star Amanda Pays) from Mercury Labs to help. Meanwhile, it’s Christmas at The West household and Iris (Candice Patton) is in full holiday cheer. Eddie (Rick Cosnett) gives her a surprising gift but also leaves her with a question that could change her life. Joe (Jesse L. Martin) joins the search for the man in yellow and ends up in the crossfire.”
What we hope for this episode is that most of the little teases pay off, and that includes everything from the villains we’ve met to the time-travel hints that we’ve seen courtesy of Harrison Wells.
Even if we meet the Reverse Flash in the flesh in this episode, there are still many other questions, with the first one being what their motivation is. We have a few theories, but for the sake of keeping things a surprise for viewers unfamiliar with the comics, we’re going to clam up now.
