After being name-dropped on Arrow, fans may have figured it was only a matter of time before this character showed up on one of the CW's DC shows, and now showrunner Gabriel Stanton tells TV Line that "the female version" of Doctor Light will be debuting in season 2 of The Flash at some point. No actress has been announced for the role yet, but it will almost certainly be Kimiyo Hoshi that she'll be playing.
Though the original Doctor Light was a villain, Hoshi was an astronomer that was introduced as a hero in 1985's Crisis On Infinite Earths #4, having gained her powers from the Anti-Monitor. It remains to be seen how she'll be adapted for the small screen of course.
The second season of The Flash kicks off October 6 on the CW.
