UPDATE: Former WWE Superstar Edge Is Playing 'Atom Smasher' In THE FLASH Season 2

We still don't know the identity of the metal-headed bruiser glimpsed in these initial The Flash season 2 set snaps, but we do know who's playing him. A couple of new pics reveal that it's none other than former WWE champion Adam Copeland, AKA Edge...

Who is the rather silly looking new bad guy crashing Central City's "Flash Day"? Well we still don't know the name of the character (some speculate that it could be a version of Atom Smasher?) but thanks to an Instagram user we do have a pic of him without his helmet, and any WWE fan should immediately recognize Adam Copeland/Edge as the guy under it. Copeland was forced to retire a couple of years ago due to injury and has been acting in small TV and film roles ever since, but this could potentially be his biggest part yet - depending on how much screen time this villain gets and if he'll even remove the mask on the show that is!

UPDATE: It seems this is indeed Atom Smasher. Here's how the CW describes him: "One of the most powerful enemies we encounter this season, Atom Smasher has come to Central City to kill The Flash. His incredible strength and ability to grow to enormous size makes him more than a match for Flash and the entire S.T.A.R. Labs team will have to come together to find a way to defeat him."
