TV Line have the scoop on another comic book character coming to the first season of The Flash, with a character known as both Farooq and Blackout set to appear in episode seven. He will apparently set his sights on Dr. Harrison Wells in a bid for vengeance, but Barry Allen will have a hard time helping his mysterious new mentor as he'll be suffering what the site calls a "powers outage" when the villain arrives in Central City. So, who is this guy exactly? Well,Geoff Johns actually introduced a character of the same name with electric powers in Flashpoint, the story which led to "The New 52" reboot. In that series, he fought alongside Cyborg in a bid to stop the war between Aquaman and Wonder Woman. His role was a minor one, so they have a lot of room to change Blackout's story for his appearance in The Flash. What do you guys think? Sound off below!

Electro in TASM2 was a [frick]ing cartoon character...



I enjoyed the movie though, for the most part.

Don't get the hate for TASM 2. It's not perfect or even great by any means, but I think it was good fun. The action scenes were fantastic.

I would take TASM 2 any day of the century over Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3, Thor, Thor 2, and the Hulk movie. Those are insufferable in my opinion.

I'd rather take Ang Lee's Hulk over TASM 2, but that's just me.

If I can be serious here for a minute...Farooq isn't anything formidable unless the Nation of Domination is behind him.

You all do realize that just because they appear in season 1 doesn't mean they can't show up in season 2.

TASM2 was like a comic book movie that was supposed to come out in the 90's but got lost in time and ended up in 2014.

Not familiar with Blackout. I do know Fallout though. He'd be an interesting villain on the show.

Agreed, Thor 1 and the latest Hulk weren't horrible though.
