Thanks to
TVLINE, we have a pretty big clue as to who will be the supervillain antagonist of the second episode of The CW's Flash.
Q:What can you tell me about Stephen Amell’s cameo in the pilot for The Flash?
TVLINE: I can tell you that it’s a nice enough, if obvious, moment, where Barry seeks out the nudge he needs to be the hero he now can be. Now, if I can interest you in some Episode 2 scoop, I am hearing that the second metahuman The Flash will face off against might make us all feel a bit… well, Mist-y.
The most obvious choice, is that the second episode of the Flash series will feature a metahuman villain named the Mist. And true enough, there's is a DC Comics villain that goes by that moniker. The Mist is an obscure villain from the 1990's Starman series. Johnathon Smythe, was a scientist and war hero who invented a "device that turned his body into a gaseous form" and subsequently went on a crimewave in Opal City. Over the years, the character has also passed down the mantle of Mist to his children, who went by the alter-egos of Kyle Nimbus and Nash Nimbus. Of course, this is just my own guess based on the clue from TVLINE. There's also Mist Master, Dr. Mist, and a couple more possibilities and characters in play as well. Feel free to make your own guesses in the comment section below.
