I thought about that when I saw him last night. Of all DC Characters, he is one that is tied to Crisis on Infinite Earth and Flash. Still, since they showed the Legion ring, I thought it could also be Ferro Lad




I was also annoyed by Earth 1 Barry acting like an idiot and asshole. He's supposed to be undercover, not acting surprised to every change he sees on Earth 2. Doesn't Google and Facebook exist on Earth 2? Why couldn't he simply do a background check on himself before acting so reckless and fumbling all the way there?

He's black (as far as I can tell from the picture). Who knows if that's significant or not?

Reverb wasn't much of a "god". Zoom took him out easily.

John Henry Irons aka Steel? That was another character that flashed through my mind when I saw the mask but I am pretty sure he would be tied to Superman's rights. The Arrowverse has been pretty careful with Superman and Batman IP since those family of characters are still considered their own thing.

Loved this ep. Iris 2 was hot and it was good to see another Storm character.

Now that I see the photo, that guy could probably be Wally West from another Earth or Earth 1's future, where he's already a speedster. Zoom is trying to be the fastest man alive, so kidnapping another speedster like Wally will certainly help increase his powers. Zoom may even want to capture Barry Allen from the 90's Flash.

It's black Batfleck.

I wasn't feeling this episode. I didn't like how they killed joe, I thought tasering Barry and locking him was dumb. Why did Cisco/reverb just let zoom talk and not take any action?

And why didn't they just open fire on Deathstorm and Frosty rather than surrender?

If Arrow does one thing better than the Flash show it is staging large battles. I always get the feeling the fight choreography is an afterthought most of the time on Flash.

Why didn't Flash just go back to when they were born and kill them?

Evil Caitlan was 10 times hotter than the normal one.

Villainy is never attractive.

That episode was a friggin' blast. Yes Barry was an idiot, but come on, he wasn't exactly in the right head space. He's married to Iris whom he's had a crush on for ages and got to talk to his mom...which might have been the best scene of the show. I can see that throwing him a little off-kilter.

I've never found Caitlan attractive, but Killer Frost was :hubba: She's definitely hotter as a blonde.

This has always been one of my complaints. It's always apparent on the cross-overs where Flash suddenly has kick ass action sequences.

Because that's not typically how team Flash works? They usually give people the benefit of the doubt or at least a chance to explain themselves before going on the offensive.

Re: The Flash (S2E13) -- "Welcome to Earth-2" -- 2/9/16

Just when you think it's not possible to dislike Iris any more, they have a different version that tries to be "badass". Reminds me of PI Alexis bit from Castle.

I liked all the little nods to the established Flash characters. Plus the aforementioned Deadshot stint.

I think they've mentioned Atlantis while on Earth-1 before, but good to hear again.

I caught the phone dials as well. Very odd with her being a PI and Barry being a CSI person.

Jay was one of my suspicions for Zoom, but I guess that's out since he was trapped on Earth-1 (unless there is a twist). I really thought Zoom would be Earth-2 Joe or Barry's birth dad. Guess he could turn out to still be him. Alternatively they could keep him a mystery. Would definitely give more gravity to the character.

You'd think they would know better by now.

Good call, Barry talking to his mother was very touching and one of the most genuine moments this show has ever had before.

I have this thought that Zoom doesn't know about Reverse Flash or speed force time-travel. For a while it seemed that RF had it all over Flash speed-wise (being almost Zoom-like). Since Zoom seems preoccupied with acquiring the speed force of other speedsters, I wonder if he could be surprised and caught off guard if Flash revealed the (former?) existence of RF.

Or maybe Zoom is Eobard Thrawne from Earth 2's future?

Since Flash discovered he could time-travel accidentally by simply going too fast. You would think Zoom who is even faster would also be aware of it.

That's funny, I'm opposite, I think the regular Earth One Caitlin is adorable.

Maybe he isn't actually connected to the speed force, which could explain why he needs to steal speed.

She is, but the statement was hotter, not more adorable.

Like on Fringe where Fauxlivia was way hotter just by having a much different attitude and slightly different look.
