'Plastique' Set To Make An Explosive Debut In Season One Of THE FLASH
We already know of a number of familiar faces from the comic books who will be making an appearance in the first few episodes of The Flash, and we can now add the villainous Plastique to that list. However, it sounds as if she could soon become an ally to the Scarlet Speedster...
TV Line have a very interesting scoop about yet another DC Comics character who will be returning to the small screen (after appearing in Smallville). "Sgt. Bette Sans Souci – AKA Plastique – will make her way to The Flash this season. The series’ incarnation of the metahuman is a fetching young redhead who was a bomb specialist with the Army before she was injured by an IED in Iraq. Since being exposed to the Central City explosion, she can turn any object into a bomb with just a touch of her hand. Not a bad comrade for The Flash to have on his team, eh?" Wait, a "comrade"? In the comic books, Firestorm and Killer Frost play a role in Plastique's origin, and with both of those characters set to appear in The Flash, it should be interesting to see how much of that backstory they decide to incorporate here. It's also worth nothing that she later joins the Suicide Squad, so it wouldn't be too surprising to see Plastique make an appearance in Arrow...
