‘The Flash’ 3.01 “Flashpoint” Easter Eggs

1. The Rival

Edward Clariss, aka The Rival, is the first villain we encounter in The Flash‘s third season, and appears to be a formidable foe for Wally West in the new timeline. The Rival is a classic villain from the comics and served as an antagonist to the Golden Age Flash, Jay Garrick. He was first introduced all the way back in 1949 and wore a darker version of the original Flash suit. The Rival from the show acts as the antagonist of the premier episode, and turns out to be a force to be reckoned with. He has already mastered all of Barry’s powers, like throwing lightning and creating tornados, and even punctures Wally through the chest at one point while taking on Wally and Barry at the same time. Even though the character isn’t anything like the comic incarnation, he is certainly a worthy bad guy for the first episode of the season. Definitely better than last season’s laughable Atom Smasher.
