The Flash season 5 spoilers: Meet Sherloque Wells

Today, we know the identity of the latest iteration of Harrison Wells for The Flash season 5, and this one seems to be especially amusing. After all, we’re talking about none other than Sherloque Wells! Just the name itself is going to generate a few laughs, and this is probably still just scratching the surface of who this guy is … but the name is clearly an indicator as to who this guy is.

For a little bit more on this particular subject, take a look at what executive producer Todd Helbing has to say in a new interview via TVLine:

“a master detective from a different earth … and he’s come to help [the team] track down Cicada. He’s pretty awesome at his job, and Ralph doesn’t take too kindly to somebody that has skills that may or may not be better than his.”

What is somewhat fun about this character is that he does have at least one element of his personality that is similar to every Wells who came before him — being better at a certain skill than many other people. In his case, he’s smarter at detective skills. Rather than being an intellectual superior to Cisco or Caitlin, this one will provide that sort of flair in the world of investigations. His skills are going to prove useful, given that Cicada is a ruthless villain and a mysterious entity who has a cult of followers and, if he is in some way similar to the comic-book incarnation, desperate to destroy lives The Flash has previously saved. He’s not a villain similar to any Barry and company face faced off against to date.
