THE FLASH Series Finale Set Photos Reveal First Look At Villain Fans Have Been Waiting To See Since Day One

The first photos from the set of The Flash's series finale have found their way online and they feature the debut of a villain we've been dying to see since the beginning. Needless to say, spoilers follow!

It's no secret that Rick Cosnett will return as Eddie Thawne in The Flash's ninth and final season, and while we recently saw the fallen cop digging up his own grave, the biggest twist yet is revealed in brand new set photos from the last ever episode. 

Eddie was previously spotted in the future, suggesting time travel might factor into his unexpected return. It was during the season one finale that Iris West's old flame made the ultimate sacrifice in order to wipe Eobard Thawne out of existence, but we remain in the dark about how and why he's returned. 

However, we can make an educated guess that he's probably looking for revenge! 

There was a time fans expected Eddie to become Reverse-Flash, but Cosnett will instead make a whole different set of fan theories come true by suiting up as the villainous Cobalt Blue.

In the comic books, the evil-doer was Barry Allen's twin brother and Reverse-Flash's ancestor. He despised the Fastest Man Alive and committed all manner of heinous acts in Central City; he was also inadvertently responsible for the feud between the Allens and Thawnes that spanned centuries and multiple timelines. 

Making Eddie the final Rogue that The Flash faces makes sense on a number of levels, not least because it harkens back to that first season. The detective shot himself to wipe Eobard from history, but Reverse-Flash has returned countless times since, so he may well be looking to make Barry pay for the fact his sacrifice meant nothing. 

Oh, and the Scarlet Speedster is now married to the woman he once loved. 

Check out these new set photos from The Flash's series finale below and be sure to head on over to Canadagraphs for a full gallery of snaps from the episode.

Not too shabby. Hope they give him the blue energy sword and cape.

Why do these suits look like Power Ranger villains?

@JonAwesome - have you seen any of the godspeed fights? This show is basically just power rangers now.

2 evil Speedsters for the final season.

feels like it should have been red death or cobalt blue (blue being the better choice), do a non speeder for one arc

@dracula - they should've made the rogues the main villains
dracula

@cyclopsprime - would agree if all the villains people would want to see team up werent either dead or just have been forgotten for years

@dracula - Cobalt Blue isn't a speedster. He can however mess with their speed.

There's no way fans waited to see Cobalt Blue since day one. He's just like... The only villain left this show hasn't used.

@KWilly - I'm not sure fans were waiting, per say, but the speculation for Cobalt Blue appearing has been talked about by fans since season 1.

Wanted to watch the final season as it came out weekly. Then episode 2 decided to be Caitlyn/Snow episode and I just turned it off. A character "dying" while the actor is still around playing their doppelganger just isnt compelling anymore. I can't sympathize for the characters mourning, knowing full well the character that died is obviously coming back.

@AnthonyVonGeek - Right down to the grandfather of modern overly padded suits. Man I do love some suede though.

I saw that red death reveal…this show IS ASS. Shame because it was pretty decent the first 3 years.

Look at those costumes. Looks like Halloween came early.

I never liked the evil twin angle they went with in the comics with Cobalt Blue. Think is a far more interesting one. Especially because it's something unique only this show can do

So in the last episode, Barry assembled a D Team of villains to help him with McGuffin, and surprise they betrayed him.

I mean, not only does Barry have access to a bunch of heroes on his own show, but also has countless heroes from Arrow, Supergirl, Legends, Batwoman, Black Lightning and there's still a Superman in his universe.

But sure, let's get together a bunch of weak rogues
