The Flash is an American television series developed by Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, and Geoff Johns, based on the DC Comics character the Flash. The series premiered on The CW television network in the United States on October 7, 2014, and has concluded its eighth season. The series is a spin-off from Arrow, and set in the same fictional universe.
The following is a list of characters who have appeared in the television series. Many of the characters appearing in the series are based on DC Comics characters.
Bartholomew Henry "Barry" Allen (portrayed by Grant Gustin; seasons 1–9) is the main protagonist of the series. He is an awkward assistant crime-scene investigator (CSI) for the Central City Police Department (CCPD) who moonlights as the Flash. Barry is traumatized as a child when his mother Nora is murdered by the Reverse-Flash and his father Henry is framed for the crime. Joe West becomes Barry's adoptive father, and Barry tries to discover what happened that night. He first appears in Arrow, personally investigating a superhuman-related crime in Starling City. Barry is a fan of the Arrow's exploits and learns Oliver Queen is the vigilante; they become good friends. Sometime after Barry returns to Central City, he is struck in his laboratory by lightning which was affected by dark matter from the explosion of the S.T.A.R. Lab's particle accelerator. Logan Williams portrays Barry as a child (recurring: season 1; guest: season 2).
Savitar (also portrayed by Gustin; performed by Andre Tricoteux and voiced by Tobin Bell in exosuit; recurring: season 3; guest: seasons 5 & 9) is a temporal duplicate of Barry from a possible future who travels back in time and becomes embedded in a bootstrap paradox. He serves as the main antagonist of season three.
Iris Ann West-Allen (portrayed by Candice Patton; seasons 1–9) is a reporter and the daughter of detective Joe West. In season four, she marries Barry, and in later seasons, heads Central City Citizen Media.
Dr. Caitlin Snow (portrayed by Danielle Panabaker; seasons 1–8) is a bioengineer who works at S.T.A.R. Labs and is the daughter of scientists Thomas Snow and Carla Tannhauser. She was engaged to Ronnie Raymond before the particle accelerator explosion. She temporarily shares her body with an alter-ego named Killer Frost, and "dies" in a failed attempt to resurrect her, enabling a new personality named Khione to take over her body.
Killer Frost (also portrayed by Danielle Panabaker; main: seasons 5–8; recurring: seasons 3–4; guest: seasons 2 & 9) is Caitlin's violent metahuman alter-ego who was inadvertently created by Thomas during his experiments to treat Caitlin's ALS gene. In later seasons, she works alongside Team Flash as just "Frost". When hit by Mirror Monarch's mirror gun, she and Caitlin split into two bodies. Frost briefly transforms into Hellfrost and gives her life in the fight against Deathstorm. An attempt to revive Frost brings out a new dominant personality named Khione.
Khione (also portrayed by Danielle Panabaker; season 9) is a new personality and a "third Snow sister" in Caitlin's body who emerges from the Consciousness Resurrection Chamber after its malfunction. She briefly uses the alias Snow. Her powers appear to be nature-based, as she was able to heal someone with just a touch and she could sense that Iris was pregnant before even she knew. Due to their being no traces of dark matter or cold fusion energy present in her cells or the presence of only one biometric signature after Chester sent his notes to Carla Tannhauser, she is neither a regular human or a meta-human, making the origin of her powers unknown.
Eddie Thawne (portrayed by Rick Cosnett; main: season 1; guest: seasons 2–3 & 8–9) is a CCPD detective who transferred from Keystone City who is initially romantically involved with Iris. He is an ancestor of Eobard Thawne. In subsequent seasons, he appears when other characters travel to the past, and the Speed Force occasionally uses Eddie's likeness.
Cosnett was originally slated to portray Jay Garrick in the pilot before the character was changed to Eddie Thawne. Many speculated his character to be the Reverse-Flash in disguise, due to his last name and appearance.
Francisco Baracus "Cisco" Ramon (portrayed by Carlos Valdes; seasons 1–7) is a mechanical engineering genius who works at S.T.A.R. Labs. Beginning in season two, he operates as the superhero Vibe using metahuman visions and the ability to create breaches to other places. He loses his abilities in season five, but they are temporarily restored during the Crisis. In season seven, he uses technology to mimic his former abilities as Mecha-Vibe and leaves Central City for a job at A.R.G.U.S. with his girlfriend Kamilla Hwang.
Eobard Thawne (portrayed by Tom Cavanagh in the form of Harrison Wells; main: seasons 1–6; recurring: season 8; guest: season 7 and by Matt Letscher in his original likeness; guest: seasons 1–3 & 8–9) is a time-traveling criminal, a future descendant of Eddie Thawne, and the archenemy of Barry Allen.
Harrison Wells (portrayed by Tom Cavanagh; seasons 1–7) is, on most Earths in the multiverse, the mind and money behind the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator in Central City. He is an original character created for the series.
Joseph "Joe" West (portrayed by Jesse L. Martin; main: seasons 1–8; recurring: season 9) is a detective for the CCPD and father of Iris and Wally. He becomes Barry's legal guardian after Nora Allen's death and Henry Allen's incarceration. He dates Cecile, who eventually gives birth to their daughter Jenna.
Wallace "Wally" West (portrayed by Keiynan Lonsdale; main: seasons 2–4; guest: seasons 5–6 & 9) is Iris's previously unknown brother and Joe's son, described as "a bit of a wayward kid who has some attitude problems and some authority issues and is quick with a sassy remark". He develops speedster abilities (which originated from the Flashpoint timeline) through Doctor Alchemy and begins assisting Barry as Kid Flash.
Lonsdale also stars as the character on Legends of Tomorrow and originally auditioned to portray Jefferson "Jax" Jackson. He did not return full-time for season five due to wanting to seek other acting opportunities. It was always intended for Wally to be the son of Joe and brother of Iris, which differs from the character's comic history, as the producers felt it "weird" for second seasons of television series to introduce previously unmentioned cousins of established characters. The character inspired another character of the same name following DC's New 52 relaunch.
Clifford DeVoe / Thinker (portrayed by Neil Sandilands; season 4) is a mild-mannered professor and metahuman with superhuman intelligence, who seeks to fix all that he deems wrong with humanity. His character was foreshadowed by Abra Kadabra and Savitar as Team Flash's future adversary. He and his wife Marlize create a "Thinking Cap" and exploit the particle accelerator to power it, but its dark matter drains energy from his body and leaves him with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. They build a hover-chair to enhance him, but he develops a god complex and becomes apathetic and emotionless. He orchestrates Barry's release from the Speed Force to create 12 specific metahumans, who he then steals the bodies of in order to gain their powers. He serves as the main antagonist of season four.
Cecile Horton (portrayed by Danielle Nicolet; main: seasons 5–9; recurring: seasons 3–4; guest: season 1) is the Central City district attorney and a close friend of Joe West. She would occasionally offer him legal advice, and they eventually begin dating. While pregnant with his daughter Jenna, she becomes a metahuman and develops empathic abilities and later telekinesis. Because of this, she begins specializing in metahuman cases. She often assists Team Flash and Team Citizen, and also has an older daughter named Joanie.
Ralph Dibny (portrayed by Hartley Sawyer; main: seasons 5–6; recurring: season 4) is a private investigator specializing in infidelity cases and metahuman with the ability to stretch his body to superhuman lengths and sizes, also allowing him to morph into other people. He was previously a detective for the CCPD until Barry exposed him for planting evidence. He acquires his powers through exposure to dark matter (which was set up by the Thinker) and stabilizes at S.T.A.R. Labs, where Barry decides to give him a second chance. He becomes an asset to Team Flash known as the Elongated Man. In subsequent seasons, he develops a partnership with Sue Dearbon.
Nora West-Allen (portrayed by Jessica Parker Kennedy; main: season 5; recurring: seasons 4 & 7–8; guest: season 9) is introduced as a mysterious girl with super-speed. She is first seen at Barry and Iris's wedding and interacts with Team Flash throughout the season. After helping Barry stop the Thinker's satellite, she reveals herself as his and Iris's daughter from 2049. Since she is from the future, certain actions in the present change major parts of her history over the course of the series. Her lightning is initially yellow and purple, referencing both of her parents' lightnings. Season eight establishes her as lesbian.
Orlin Dwyer (portrayed by Chris Klein; season 5) is one of the two main antagonists of season five. He gets his abilities after being struck by a fragment of the Thinker's satellite, which also leaves his niece Grace in a coma. Enraged by this and the loss of her mother (his sister) to an earlier metahuman incident, he vows to exterminate all metahumans using a telekinetic dagger that can nullify their abilities. Team Flash dubs him "Cicada". Secretly, he and Grace are aided by Dr. Ambres.
Monitor (portrayed by LaMonica Garrett; main: season 6; guest: season 5) is a multiversal being who uses the Book of Destiny to test Earths to see if they are capable of facing an upcoming crisis. Notably, he destroys Earth-90 and gives the Book of Destiny to John Deegan to test Earth-1's heroes.
The Anti-Monitor (portrayed by LaMonica Garrett; season 6) is a multiversal being who plots to destroy all the Earths in the multiverse with his anti-matter powers so that only the anti-matter universe remains.
Eva McCulloch (portrayed by Efrat Dor; seasons 6–7) is a quantum engineer, co-founder of McCulloch Technologies, and the wife of its CEO Joseph Carver who has been trapped in the Mirrorverse since the particle acceleration explosion. She begins pulling people in (notably Iris) and creates mirror imposters of those people to aid in her escape so that she may have revenge against Carver for abandoning her. She later discovers that she herself is a mirror duplicate and that the real Eva died during the explosion, and plots to replace everybody with mirror duplicates as Mirror Monarch.
She is based on the DC Comics character Evan McCulloch / Mirror Master and is the main antagonist of the second half of season six and the first three episodes of season seven.
Allegra Garcia (portrayed by Kayla Compton; main: seasons 7–9; recurring: season 6) is a young metahuman with abilities based on the electromagnetic spectrum. As a child, she was incarcerated at Iron Heights for involvement with a gang called the Arañas alongside her cousin Esperanza, with whom she has a strained relationship. She joins Team Flash and Team Citizen after Barry and Cecile prove her innocence in a murder case and bonds with Nash after discovering that he was a father figure to her Earth-719 counterpart Maya. In season nine, she dates Chester.
Chester P. Runk (portrayed by Brandon McKnight; main: seasons 7–9; guest: season 6) is a scientist with an online following who believes in keeping his code open-source. He meets Team Flash after accidentally opening a black hole that fuses with his consciousness. After Flash rescues him and Cecile helps him put his life back together, he begins assisting Team Flash as a tech specialist. In season nine, he begins dating Allegra.
Mark Blaine / Chillblaine (portrayed by Jon Cor; main: season 9; recurring: seasons 7–8) is a former Ivo Laboratories scientist who was fired for creating a microchip that he used to enhance his cryogenic technology. Calling himself Chillblaine, he steals it back and frames Frost for a murder. However, his infatuation and continued run-ins with her prompt him to become a better person, and they begin dating. He falls into a depression when Frost passes fighting Deathstorm and dedicates himself to resurrecting her, and is infuriated when Khione emerges in Caitlin's body and chooses to live her own life. He briefly joins Red Death and the Rogues in exchange for Frost's resurrection, but ultimately rejoins Team Flash.
This is a list of recurring actors and the characters they portrayed in multiple episodes, which were significant roles, sometimes across multiple seasons. The characters are listed in order of appearance by the season in which they first appeared.
Gideon (voiced by an uncredited Morena Baccarin; seasons 1-2 & 4–8) is an A.I. assistant created by Barry Allen in the original future timeline which somehow came to be used in Eobard Thawne's own plans. It is programmed to be loyal to both Barry and Eobard. Gideon is also shown to be loyal to Harry Wells, Clifford DeVoe, and Nora West-Allen.
Ronnie Raymond / Firestorm (portrayed by Robbie Amell; seasons 1-3 & 8) is an engineer at S.T.A.R. Labs and Caitlin Snow's fiancé, based on the DC Comics character of the same name who is half of the character Firestorm. He is thought to be dead in the particle accelerator explosion, saving the lives of his co-workers. He survived the accident, which merged him with Martin Stein and the F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M. transmutation matrix, transforming both of them into one pyrokinetic entity. Though Firestorm is Ronnie's body, it is Stein who remains in control for most of their existence, with Ronnie occasionally taking control for brief moments. They eventually learn to control their shared powers, including an ability to separate themselves at will. Like Caitlin, Cisco, and Stein, Ronnie also becomes good friends with Barry Allen; he and Barry ultimately join forces with Oliver Queen to subdue the Reverse-Flash. Ronnie marries Caitlin.
In season two, Ronnie sacrifices himself to stop the singularity above Central City while separating himself from Stein to keep him alive.
In season three, the Speed Force uses Ronnie's form to help Barry realize the true meaning of sacrifice.
In season eight, the black flame speaks to Caitlin using Ronnie's voice. It turns out that Ronnie's guilt took on a life of its own which led to it becoming Deathstorm.

He helps Barry in hand-to-hand combat and other skills to turn Barry into a capable combatant with or without powers. Amell stars as the character on Arrow.
General Wade Eiling (portrayed by Clancy Brown; season 1) is a general with an interest in metahumans, who wants to use them for the U.S. Army, and has a history with S.T.A.R. Labs. Eiling learns of Barry Allen's identity as the Flash, however, Eobard Thawne gives the general to Grodd to be placed under the gorilla's control. After being freed by the Flash, he and Barry form a grudging respect despite their enmity.
Martin Stein (portrayed by Victor Garber; seasons 1–4) is a nuclear physicist focused on transmutation, based on the DC Comics character of the same name and is also half of the character Firestorm. He remains in control of Firestorm during the initial merging, though Ronnie Raymond occasionally takes control for brief moments. They learn to control their shared powers, including an ability to separate themselves at will. Professor Stein also subsequently gives Barry Allen and Eddie Thawne some insight on the possibility of time travel and their respective destinies.
In season two, Stein becomes a member of Team Flash and the group's scientific advisor following Eobard Thawne's demise. He also discovers Cisco Ramon's secret as a metahuman and encourages him to accept his powers. When it turns out that his body is unstable as a consequence of the combination of the dark matter with Stein's own matrix, Stein gains a new partner in Jefferson "Jax" Jackson.
In season three, Stein discovers that he now has a daughter, Lily Stein, due to both Barry's and his own respective time-traveling actions; he never had a child due to his fear of being as neglectful as his father and his past commitments to his work prior to the timeline's reset.
In season four, Stein is killed when he tries to escape from Earth-X with Barry and other heroes.
Nora Allen (portrayed by Michelle Harrison; seasons 1-3 & 5 & 7–9) is Barry Allen's mother.

Labs. The particle accelerator explosion gave him superhuman hearing, but he needs custom-made hearing aids to help control his new power. He was also estranged from his parents after he came out. Following these, he developed sonic gloves and became a criminal; calling himself the "Pied Piper". As a result of timeline changes during season two, Hartley became an ally to Team Flash and reconciled with his parents.
During season six, in the post-Crisis timeline however, Hartley became a metahuman with full sonic powers on top of his gloves as well as an enemy to Team Flash once more as the Flash had destabilized his henchman/boyfriend, Roderick's, molecules during an altered version of one of their original fights.

Snart and Mick Rory attempt to kill The Flash but fail, though the Flash is revealed to the world. He extorts Flash's identity from Cisco and later becomes leader of his crew which Barry dubs the "Rogues". Barry later asks Snart to assist the transport of metahumans from Central City to Lian Yu, for which Snart wants his criminal record erased. He double-crosses Barry by sabotaging the truck containing Mark Mardon, Kyle Nimbus, Roy Bivolo, Jake Simmons and Shawna Baez. Snart kills Simmons who he claims owed him money. Leonard is later extorted into working for his father Lewis Snart when he plants a bomb inside Lisa's head.

To prepare for Eva's release, Mirror Singh leads Mirror Iris and Mirror Kamilla to where Bloodwork is held to get a blood sample from him. After Mirror Kamilla sacrifices herself to open Bloodwork's cell, Mirror Iris gets the blood through the most unlikely way as Mirror Singh works to cover up the power failure.

Henry was a respectable doctor before he was wrongfully convicted of murdering his wife Nora Allen and incarcerated in Iron Heights Prison after Eobard Thawne framed him. Only his son Barry and later Joe West believe his innocence. Throughout season one, he learns that Barry is the Flash and is proud of his son. Henry serves as Barry's moral conscience in using these powers wisely, thus keeping Barry from being tempted by personal gains.
In season two, Henry is released from prison due to Eobard's confession to Nora's murder. However, he leaves Central City to seek a reclusive life as he believes that his presence could hold back Barry's duties as the Flash. He returns to counsel Barry and offer encouragement after his son's disastrous fight with Hunter Zolomon but then returns to seclusion. When Barry is de-powered, Henry joins S.T.A.R. Labs to help in Barry's fight to save the world from Zoom. Henry is killed by Zolomon in order for Barry to relive the same tragedy he went through when Nora was killed by the Reverse-Flash. Following his death, Henry's Earth-3 doppelgänger Jay Garrick takes over in mentoring Barry on power and responsibility.
Grodd (voiced by David Sobolov; seasons 1-3 & 5–6 & 9) is a hyper-intelligent gorilla with telepathic powers as a result of being experimented on by General Eiling under the watch of Eobard Thawne.
He is sent to the Gorilla City on Earth-2 by Flash and later plans an attack to Central City with an army of the gorillas like him. However, he is defeated by Flash, Kid Flash, Jesse Quick and Solovar, and imprisoned at A.R.G.U.S.
Grodd later returns and mind-controls Cisco Ramon and Caitlin Snow into stealing Tanya Lamden's telepathy crown in his plot to take control of the minds of Central City. Sacrificing his restored humanity, Shay Lamden of Earth-2 becomes King Shark again and fights Grodd. With help from Flash and XS, King Shark defeats Grodd and removes the telepathy crown from him. It is later mentioned by Lyla that Grodd has been placed in a medically induced coma in a special cell that would adapt to his growing mental powers.
In season six, Grodd is still an induced coma when Barry is accidentally placed in his mind. While voicing his knowledge of the Crisis, Grodd states that he found out that Gorilla City is now on Earth-Prime and wants to return to it. To get past the gatekeeper, represented as a mental copy of Solovar, Grodd and Flash had to work together. Once that was done and Barry is back in his mind, Caitlin arranges for Grodd to be released on probation as Lyla places a tracking chip in him so that Team Flash will know where to find him if he returns to villainy.
In season nine, Grodd found that his tribe of gorillas lost their sentience following the Crisis and are scattered throughout Africa. Red Death approached Grodd with the offer to boost her psychic control over her sentinels in exchange for finding his tribe. Flash learned about this following an ambush by Red Death. After some persuasion from Grodd, Flash's speed is recharged by Grodd returning the speed sample Flash gave him. Following Red Death's defeat, Chester mentioned that the S.T.A.R. Labs satellites are working 24/7 to help find Grodd's tribe.
Jesse Chambers Wells / Jesse Quick (portrayed by Violett Beane; seasons 2–4) is the daughter of Harry Wells from Earth-2. Like her father Jesse is a science prodigy, having five majors in college, including biochemistry. Zoom holds Jesse captive to extort Harry's cooperation until she is rescued by her father, Barry, Cisco, and Earth-2's Barry and Iris. With her father, Jesse seeks refuge on Earth-1 and she leaves for Opal City after discovering the lengths Harry will take to keep her safe. Jesse returns after her father is kidnapped and works with the S.T.A.R. Labs team. Jesse and Wally are affected by dark matter when Harry attempts to restore Barry's speed; Barry later brings her out of her coma. Following Zoom's defeat, Jesse returns to Earth-2 with her father. Months later Jesse exhibits speedster abilities and aspires to help people, though her father disapproves. After she helps Barry stop Magenta, Harry becomes more encouraging and has Cisco make her a speedster suit. Jesse and Harry return to Earth-2, where Jesse becomes Earth-2's speedster superhero under the name Jesse Quick. Jesse and Wally admit their feelings, and have a long-distance relationship until she breaks up with Wally.
Hunter Zolomon / Zoom (portrayed by Teddy Sears, initially portrayed by Ryan Handley, voiced by Tony Todd; seasons 2-3 & 5 & 9) is a speedster from Earth-2 who is obsessed with becoming the only speedster in the multiverse and the main antagonist of season two. Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg said, in season one "with the Reverse-Flash, we just modulated Tom Cavanagh's voice, and this year we wanted to do something a little bit different [for Zoom]. Part of the mystery of the season is who or what is underneath the Zoom outfit, and so we wanted to do something like James Earl Jones as Darth Vader — this iconic voice coming out of this mask." Hunter was a traumatized child (portrayed by Octavian Kaul) that witnessed his mother's murder at his father's hands, which triggered his bloodlust as a serial killer before he gained his powers from the particle-accelerator explosion on Earth-2. Dissatisfied, he sought to increase his speed with the Velocity serum but soon discovered it carried a fatal illness. Searching for a cure, he traveled the multiverse and captured Jay Garrick. Unsuccessful in stealing Jay's speed to cure himself, Hunter keeps Jay imprisoned with a speed-dampening mask. Inspired to be both hero and villain, he uses Jay's name as the fraudulent Flash of Earth-2 to instill false hope, which he then takes away as Zoom. Discovering Earth-1, he plots to increase Barry's speed and then steal it, sending various metahumans from Earth-2 to fight the Flash while also infiltrating the team as Jay. Zoom extorts Harry Wells into physically stealing Barry's speed by kidnapping Jesse Wells. He also becomes Caitlin Snow's love interest. After succeeding in stealing Barry's speed, Zoom brings his army of Earth-2 metahumans to conquer Earth-1 and construct a device capable of destroying the other Earths in the multiverse, to ensure he remains the only speedster. Hunter seeks to corrupt Caitlin's mind into being like Earth-2 Killer Frost and then Barry's by killing Henry in the same spot Eobard killed Nora, convinced that they are similar because of their childhood traumas. However, Barry ultimately bests Hunter in their final fight before two Time Wraiths arrive to punish him for his crimes against the time line; they transform him into the corpse-like Black Flash enslaved to the Speed Force. Subjugated to the Time Wraiths, the Black Flash makes occasional appearances in season three, such as to hurt Savitar before being killed by Earth-1 Killer Frost.
Jay Garrick (portrayed by John Wesley Shipp; seasons 2-4 & 6–9) is the Earth-3 version of Barry's father Henry Allen. Hunter Zolomon held Jay captive in a failed attempt to harness his speed before becoming inspired to take up his persona and falsely operate as the Flash of Earth-2; even going so far as to use Jay's name. To keep him from escaping, Zolomon forced Jay to wear a mask that suppressed his speed and prevented him from talking. After Zoom's defeat, Barry rescues Jay, who soon returns to his Earth. Jay adopts Hunter's Flash helmet as a symbol of hope, taking satisfaction in taking something from Zoom as the villainous speedster had done to him. Jay later learned from Harry Wells that Henry Allen is his doppelgänger and Barry is Henry's son. Knowing this, Jay watches over Barry as a sympathetic yet stern mentor, and a friendship develops. After undoing Flashpoint and trying to fix the mistakes left in its wake, he explains to Barry that time travel can have adverse consequences and that Barry must live with these mistakes. Jay also helps Barry come to terms with Henry's death and in battling Savitar. While they do banish Savitar to the Speed Force, Savitar later escapes, with Jay taking Savitar's place.

She briefly becomes corrupted by the Negative Speed Force and is distraught when the Negative Forces kill her lover by resurrecting the original Thawne in his body. After his defeat, the BLOC is depowered and Meena loses her speed. She is last seen preparing to depart; Iris gave her Eobard's yellow tie, noting that though she didn't meet this version, he was a "special person", to which Meena agreed and departed, but not before telling Barry and Iris that she will help Team Flash if necessary. In Season 9, Meena is mentioned as she appears in the flashback in "The Mask of the Red Death, Part 1".
Ryan Wilder / Red Death (portrayed by Javicia Leslie) is an alternate timeline version of the current timeline's Ryan Wilder who was adopted by the Wayne family until they were killed by Joe Chill. She was left as Gotham City's sole protector since Batman doesn't exist in this timeline as well as a friend of her timeline's Iris. Flash opposed Ryan's plan where they ended up in a conflict which resulted in her Iris getting killed. Building a special suit that has an Artificial Speed Force, Ryan became Red Death. When trying to get into the Speed Force, Red Death was rejected and ended up in the current timeline in a vibrational form.
To be solidified, she allied herself with Captain Boomerang II, Fiddler II, Murmur II, and Chillblaine in order to steal specific items. Once solidified, Red Death proceeded to save her minions from Flash by using the Negative Speed Force to temporarily dampen his speed while making off with her minions and the engine needed to make a Cosmic Treadmill-type device. She also agreed to help Chillblaine revive Frost once her goal is complete. Her next plan involved recruiting Rainbow Raider in capturing Flash. Speaking from her remote-controlled armor, Red Death claims that she is not the latest avatar of the Negative Forces and reveals that her armor runs on the Artificial Speed Force. Then she posed as her alternate timeline self to obtain Iris so that Flash can run on it. After Chillblaine sabotaged the Cosmic Treadmill enough for it's energies to knock her out, Team Flash's Rogue Squad showed up. Chillblaine sacrifices himself to buy them time to get Flash and Iris away. With the Cosmic Treadmill destroyed, Red Death plans to take Flash's world as her way of "taking the war to him this time" which involved persuading Gorilla Grodd into helping her. Eventually, she was defeated by Flash, Grodd, and the current timeline's Batwoman. Flash mentions that Red Death has been remanded to A.R.G.U.S. custody where Batwoman's identity is safeguarded.

Andrea Wozzeck / Fiddler II (portrayed by Magda Apanowicz) is the second villain with this title who can also manipulate sound enough to place them in a high vibration state who works for Red Death.
