Season One Of THE FLASH Adds A New Rogue In The Form Of 'Girder'

The CW are really building up a universe. I just hope they don't follow the freak of the week route Smallville took, that would make all these additions redundant

I really hope they save Grodd for when they know they can nail his CGI.

This character looks cool. Looks like he will be a challenge for Barry

Never heard of him.

Hopefully Blacksmith will be the next villain to show up on the show.

Almost sure that is Bender's brother.

@CaptShipwreck,

The first supervillain team to assemble on TV or movies? Yep, it's a good thing, especially The Rogues under Geoff Johns management.

I've always felt Flash would work better as a TV show because of his rouges gallery. Reverse Flash and Grodd are the only characters I could think of that could even sustain a film as the main villain, but even Grodd's probably not a gamble WB would be willing to take.

one of my biggest pet peeves about SMALLVILLE was that the supervillain of the week was always the result of the meteor rocks. it kinda negated the whole "the world needs superman" thesis since smallville's problems wouldn't have happened in the first place if kal-el hadn't crash landed on earth.

........and i'm dreading the same for THE FLASH, with the linear accelerator explosion that gave barry his powers, the same reason the bad guys have theirs.

@MJPETTY7

Not really. I always got the sense that in the movies, Magneto's "brotherhood" was just a group of mutants who went about achieving mutant rights differently than Xavier. They weren't put together to oppose Xavier and the X-men. They just had different ways of achieving the same goals.

The Rogues, however, are blue-collar villains who decided that there was safety in numbers when it came to the Flash. The Flash is their main reason for partnering up.
And what I like about the Rogues is that they consider Central City their home turf and they don't like it when other villains come calling. In that instance, they'll happily team up with Flash to repel invaders. They also don't pull scores that could have too negative an impact on the majority of the citizens of Central City. For example, they won't hit banks where the majority of the citizens keep their money.

There was one heist I read about that they canceled because the optimum time to steal the money was the busiest time at the bank. However, their means for breaking in would have collapsed the floor of the bank. So they called it off because of the potential for human casualties. That's how Captain Cold runs that crew.

I am Bender. Please, insert girder.
