THE FLASH Season 4 Villain Confirmed, and It’s Exactly Who You Thought It’d Be

The Flash has dealt with a mystery evil speedster as the big bad for three seasons in a row. Fortunately, the show is switching things up for its fourth season. It was previously confirmed that next year’s big bad will not be a speedster. Now, we know who this character is, but if you’ve been paying attention to the last few episodes of season three, you already know.

TV Line has confirmed that The Flash‘s big bad for next season is Clifford DeVoe, aka The Thinker. DeVoe was namedropped a couple times near the end of season three, first by Abra Kadabra and then by Savitar (both villains from the future). Casting is now underway for a 40-ish actor to fill the role, which can be called the “fastest mind alive.” In DC Comics lore, DeVoe has powers of telekinesis and mind control, derived from technology.

Of course, before the team can face DeVoe, the show needs to find a way to bring Barry out of the Speed Force prison. Chances are, this will be resolved within the first couple episodes of the season. Because there’s no way they’re writing Barry off the show for long.

The Flash returns next fall on The CW.
