THE FLASH Season 1, Episode 3 Description; "Things You Can’t Outrun" - 'The Mist' Confirmed
That's right, another DC Comics villain has been confirmed as making an appearance in The Flash, and this time it's The Mist. However, he won't be the only fan-favourite character in "Things You Can’t Outrun" as Robbie Amell will be there to give the future Firestorm his debut...
THE FLASH BATTLES THE MIST, CAITLIN TELLS BARRY ABOUT RONNIE — As Barry (Grant Gustin) and the team at S.T.A.R. Labs work to capture Kyle Nimbus (guest star Anthony Carrigan), a.k.a. The Mist, a dangerous new meta-human with toxic gas powers, they revisit the painful night the particle accelerator exploded and killed Caitlin’s (Danielle Panabaker) fiancé, Ronnie (guest star Robbie Amell). Meanwhile, Joe (Jesse Martin) decides to finally visit Henry (John Wesley Shipp) in jail after all these years, but things take a dangerous turn when Kyle shows up looking to punish Joe for arresting him years ago. Meanwhile, Iris (Candice Patton) and Eddie (Rick Cosnett) continue to hide their relationship from Joe. Jesse Warn directed the episode written by Alison Schapker & Grainne Godfree (#103).
After doing a little research, it appears as if The Mist will be based on a character introduced in the 1940s. He fought the Golden Age Sandman and later became one of Starman's main foes. For that reason, expect a pretty loose adaptation. Regardless, it's pretty interesting to see how much they're delving into DC Comics history to give Barry Allen some villains to battle between bigger names like Captain Cold and Reverse-Flash. Of course, more exciting to some will be the reveal that it's "Things You Can't Outrun" which will see the small screen debut of Firestorm. What do you guys think?
