![]() ![]() Are any of them Savitar? Err, pretty unlikely. The three shown in the preview are Iris’ martyred ex Eddie Thawne, Caitlin’s martyred ex Ronnie Raymond, and the Legends’ martyred frenemy Captain Cold. Barry Allen (Earth-1) Eobard Thawne Arrowverse Hunter Zolomon Savitar's armor Eddie Thawne Season 9 (The Flash) Savitar A New World, Part Four Cobalt-97. In the promo for next week’s episode, we see that Barry is visited by three people (at least) as he confronts the Speed Force, something he also did in the past (and came out as a Speed Force Evangelical). The reveal adds something, but only if it also packs a punch. Otherwise it’s pointless to have him “revealed” at all - he is just a Decepticon / Power Rangers villain who is, like every other speedster, trying to kill Barry (now or in the future). Sometimes it works better than other times, but Barry trying to pull off Savitar’s head while saying “show your face!” seems to suggest that the reveal will be a familiar face. Eventually, Savitar was plucked from his timeline by Eddie Thawne and joined forces with Eobard Thawne, Hunter Zolomon, and August Heart to kill Barry and his team. He also revealed that he was waiting on the final piece of the Philosopher’s Stone to come to him so he could break free of the Speed Force, something he knew was in the works because Wally’s hubris, speed, and love of accolades would send him right to Savitar.īut if Wally is not Savitar, well, who is? The pattern of these CW / DC shows is that the masked villain is someone surprising that we know, over and over again. In “The Wrath of Savitar,” though, the God of Exposition Motion was super chatty about his past and his motivations, talking about how he “created himself” and “lost his mind several times over” during his imprisonment. The pattern of newbies to the group turning out to be bad guys was already satisfied in the first half of the season when Julian was revealed as Alchemy, but he was the lesser of the two villains (and since Julian was blacked out during his tenure as Alchemy, all was forgiven). At the West house or rather the Negative Speed Force manifestation of it, not only does Eddie assemble Godpseed, Reverse-Thawne, Savitar, and Zoom, but he embraces the crystal and becomes. ![]() As a result, Barry was able to face off with Rick Cosnett’s Eddie Thawne without interference. But we also have a villain who is a speedster from the future hell-bent on killing Barry once he regains his speed (or to be more correct, he is fast enough, but he can’t fully exit the Speed Force). XS, on the other hand, had her own moment to shine when Savitar tried to repeat his season 3 plan on Nora, only to lose unexpectedly. It’s Barry now who is the mentor (and he’s a terrible one). ![]() When Wally West shows up and later becomes a speedster in Season 3, the formula is slightly inverted. ![]()
