5 villains go up against The Flash
Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) faces the most deadliest fight of his life as he goes up against these villains appearing in the final episode: Zoom, Savitar, Reverse Flash, Godspeed and Cobalt Blue.
Who is Cobalt Blue?
The identity of Cobalt Blue in the comics is Malcom Thawne; the lost twin brother of Barry Allen and ancestor of Professor Zoom.
However, since Savitar is already a time remnant of Barry, and the story is different in The Flash TV series already. Rick Cosnett; who played Eddie Thawne will seemingly be coming back instead. Eddie is still Reverse Flash’s ancestor.
Rick Cosnett can be seen dressed as Cobalt Blue in one photo, alongside a second photo featuring a stunt double in another suit.
