Though he regularly contends with super-powered foes,
The Flash also has to deal with
The Rogues, a group of low-level criminals who use technology to commit crime. The CW's
Flash television show has done well in adapting the Rogues to a live action setting, having introduced Captain Cold, Heatwave, Golden Glider, and the Trickster among others - though one particular member has been notably absent from both seasons:
Mirror Master.
Fans were overjoyed to learn that Grey Damon would be playing the character in season 3, though it has now been revealed that his "powerset" will be altered. According to executive producer Todd Helbing, Mirror Master will not be using his classic mirror gun to warp himself in between dimensions. In fact, he won't travel to other dimensions at all!
"[Mirror Master] doesn’t use the [mirror] gun,” Helbing said in an interview with
TV Line.
“He’s a true meta, but he’s not necessarily warping into other dimensions.”
The decision to make Mirror Master a metahuman is certainly odd, though not entirely out of left field, as the show made the same creative choice with Weather Wizard in seasons 1 and 2. However, with the show making a "gold gun" a possibility, it seems a little strange that they couldn't do the same for Mirror Master's weapon.
Would you have preferred a more classic Mirror Master, or are you satisfied with the show making him a metahuman? Sound off below!
