THE FLASH Season 4 Will Reportedly See The Introduction Of The Elongated Man, The Thinker, And More

Following their Ant-Man and The Wasp report from last night, That Hashtag Show is back with some potentially exciting news for fans of The CW's small-screen take on DC's Scarlet Speedster.

We already had a pretty good idea that The Thinker would be introduced during season 4 of The Flash, but it seems the genius-level baddie is going to be joined by Ralph Dibny, AKA The Elongated Man, and a mysterious female character known only as The Mechanic.

Check out the video report along with character breakdowns below, and let us know what you think in the usual place.



[CLIFFORD DEVOE AKA THE THINKER]–Male, 40s-50, Open Ethnicity. After being struck with dark matter from the particle accelerator explosion, Clifford Devoe became a meta-human with a mega-mind. A Stephen Hawking-esque genius who’s devised an intricate plan to fix all that he deems wrong with humanity. “The Thinker” will embark upon a season long battle with The Flash that pins the “fastest man alive” against the “fastest mind alive.” FRACTIONAL (7/13) ONE SEASON SERIES REGULAR

[THE MECHANIC]–Female, 30s-40, Diverse. A highly intelligent engineer who designs and assembles a plethora of devices for the ailing Clifford Devoe. Devoe’s right hand, she’s the truest of true-believers who’ll stop at nothing to implement his plan to fix all that’s wrong with humanity-even if she loses who she is in the process. MAJOR RECURRING GUEST STAR

[RALPH DIBNY AKA ELONGATED MAN] Male, Mid to late 30s, Open Ethnicity. Think Ryan Reynolds or Chris Pratt, Ralph has the ability to stretch his body to super-human lengths and sizes…however, while resculpting his old body is easy to do, Dibny finds losing the old misguided sense of truth and slobbery, even after joining the team at S.T.A.R. Labs, is a far more difficult task to accomplish. MAJOR RECURRING GUEST STAR WITH A SERIES REGULAR OPTION FOR NEXT SEASON

I won't allow Ralph to be on the show unless Sue is there with him. And their romance isn't CWed. They are happy, and married. Please

Pretty cool if we really get Elongated Man.

I'm a big fan of C-Listers and Elongated Man is pretty cool! I'm excited for this!

I'm happy to hear Elongated Man will finally join the show, because him and Barry are great friends in the comics.

I just don't like how it sounds like Plastic Man characteristics instead of how the real Elongated Man is portrayed.

@BlackIceJoe - The only difference is Plastic Man can turn his body into anything he thinks of while Elongated Man is just DC's Mr. Fantastic (and yes, I know Elongated Man came first). They're both Stretchy McStretch otherwise.

But this is a long time coming. I've been waiting for this announcement ever since it was revealed that the accelerator caused the "death" of Ralph Dibny in season 1. For this reason, I keep hoping to see Fire join the cast at some point.

@GAThrawnIGF - If Fire ever shows up I hope her best friend Ice will too.

I really have enjoyed how The Flash crew have recreated some cool covers of The Flash....maybe they will do one for this.

@JoeMomma29 - I hate that comic books don't have the year on them.

Elongated man is going to look soooo bad, can't wait!

Not being sarcastic, I would have wished for plastic man though

I'll give this show another chance if they ever decide to at least fix the Flash's costume. It looks bad and always has. More comic booky would be good.

@ImmovableForce - At least it looks better than inhumans, although thaťs not too hard...

That is the version I want to see. That being the one that is a great forensic officer and detective.
