The CW superhero universe continues to excite comic book fans by utilizing mythology from the source material, both old and new. If the latest rumors coming off the set of The Flash are true, then audiences could be in for a shocking appearance by a more recent addition to Barry Allen’s rogue’s gallery named Godspeed.
The hot rumor comes to us from a site called Canadagraphs. The blogger behind the website says he was on set for an upcoming episode of The Flash season five and was able to sneak a peek at the name of the episode labeled on director Danielle Panabaker’s script. It reads “Godspeed.”
While the word “Godspeed” has been mentioned on The Flash before, superfan and YouTuber Pagey, who claims to possess exclusive news that backs this rumor up. In a video, the YouTuber drops specific details about an upcoming episode in the show’s fifth season. According to him, not only is the heinous Godspeed in the episode Godspeed, but that he shows up and murders speedster Leah Nelson of the Secret Six.
The rumor is unconfirmed elsewhere, but these actions do fit Godspeed’s MO. The character was created by Joshua Williamson and Carmine Di Giandomenico and first appeared in The Flash #3 of DC Comics’ relatively recent Rebirth rebranding. Godspeed’s true identity is August Heart and works alongside Barry Allen at the Central City Police Department. After he is struck by lightning during a Speed Force storm, August decides to use his newfound abilities to solve his brother’s murder and believes in killing off those he deems criminals, particularly those who were also struck in the storm.
Again, this is all just a rumor at this point, so keep your expectations in check for now. But if this comes out to be true, will you tune into the episode and watch? Let us know if the prospect of introducing Godspeed into The Flash show excites you!
Matching wits with The Thinker, who by season’s end had harnessed the powers of all twelve bus metas he created, stretched Team Flash to their limits, but with the help of some new allies, Barry Allen (aka The Flash) and company were able to put a stop to the Enlightenment and save Central City once again. However, with the arrival of Barry and Iris’ speedster daughter, Nora, who arrived from the future admitting to having made a “big mistake,” things are anything but status quo. Will parenthood be the challenge that finally slows The Flash down?
The series stars Grant Gustin as Barry Allen / Flash, Candice Patton as Iris West, Danielle Panabaker as Caitlin Snow / Killer Frost, Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramon / Vibe, Tom Cavanagh as Harrison “Sherloque” Wells, Jesse L. Martin as Joe West, Danielle Nicolet as Cecile Horton, Hartley Sawyer as Ralph Dibny / Elongated Man, Jessica Parker Kennedy as Nora West-Allen, and Chris Klein as Cicada.
The Flash Season 5 returns February 19th on The CW.
