THE FLASH Season 4 Casting Breakdowns Reveal New Details on The Thinker and Two New Characters

Production began last week on The Flash‘s fourth season. So far, we don’t have a whole lot of plot details. The Thinker/Clifford DeVoe will serve as this year’s main villain, while Barry Allen still needs to be freed from the Speed Force. (That’ll probably be resolved in one or two episodes.) In the meantime, we have some casting breakdowns for some new characters, including DeVoe.

That Hashtag Show has shared breakdowns for three new characters who are joining The Flash this season. Each description reveals the character’s background, as well as their role in the season. For example, DeVoe will be a series regular role, and he received his powers from the particle accelerator explosion.

The breakdowns also reveal two new characters joining this season: The Mechanic, an ally of DeVoe’s, and Elongated Man/Ralph Dibney, a fan-favorite hero from DC Comics lore. In fact, Dibney was previously namedropped on The Flash back in season one, as a person who was presumed dead in the particle accelerator explosion.

Check out the character breakdowns below. The Flash returns on Tuesday, October 10th at 8 PM EST on The CW.

[CLIFFORD DEVOE AKA THE THINKER] – Male, 40s-50, Open Ethnicity. After being struck with dark matter from the particle accelerator explosion, Clifford Devoe became a meta-human with a mega-mind. A Stephen Hawking-esque genius who’s devised an intricate plan to fix all that he deems wrong with humanity. “The Thinker” will embark upon a season long battle with The Flash that pins the “fastest man alive” against the “fastest mind alive.” FRACTIONAL (7/13) ONE SEASON SERIES REGULAR

[THE MECHANIC] – Female, 30s-40, Diverse. A highly intelligent engineer who designs and assembles a plethora of devices for the ailing Clifford Devoe. Devoe’s right hand, she’s the truest of true-believers who’ll stop at nothing to implement his plan to fix all that’s wrong with humanity-even if she loses who she is in the process. MAJOR RECURRING GUEST STAR

[RALPH DIBNY AKA ELONGATED MAN]
– Male, Mid to late 30s, Open Ethnicity. Think Ryan Reynolds or Chris Pratt, Ralph has the ability to stretch his body to super-human lengths and sizes…however, while resculpting his old body is easy to do, Dibny finds losing the old misguided sense of truth and slobbery, even after joining the team at S.T.A.R. Labs, is a far more difficult task to accomplish. MAJOR RECURRING GUEST STAR WITH A SERIES REGULAR OPTION FOR NEXT SEASON
