As reported by Matt Webb Metrovitch over at TVLine.com, “Episode 18 [of The Flash] will unleash on Central City a bee-a-utiful tech wizard who rocks oversized shades and red lipstick… and has devised a clever-slash-amoral-slash-wildly unstable scheme to weaponize bee-sized ‘bots.”
In prior incarnations in the comics, the Justice League have faced off against a Queen Bee who is clever, amoral, attractive and has large eye coverings, resembling the compound eyes of many flying insects. So the description of the character is very similar. Also in the comics, Queen Bee employed weaponized insectoid robots as one of her means of attacking the League and conquering cities on Earth.
This reminds me of Grant Morrison's glory days on JLA. If this is Queen Bee, I'm very excited.
Even if it isn't Queen Bee, I have confidence in the producers, writers, cast and crew over at CW's 'The Flash' to make this an outstanding episode, since it already has Brandon Routh's Ray Palmer and Emily Bett Rickard's Felicity Smoak as guest stars.
Now we will not only get to see see Cisco and Barry geek-out over Ray and his ATOM suit, while Caitlyn and Felicity gush excitedly over their Returned (by then) love interests, we also get an interesting villain. Congratulations to 'The Flash;' well done!
