Considering how great Arrow and Flash’s first villains were, Vandal Savage should have felt like much more than just an inexplicably survival-friendly foe of the week, but it never quite happened, and he was eclipsed by his own enviable facial hair.
And we might not have split hairs there if Savage hadn’t been such a dullard for the bulk of his time-jaunting stint.
We’re hoping that the all-around lack of Savage in each of the respective shows’ most recent seasons is indicative of the character’s absence forevermore.
While Vandal Savage may be better known in the Arrow-verse as the Legends of Tomorrow big bad from Season 1, Casper Crump’s immortal-esque villain first showed up on The Flash for the second big crossover episode that basically launched Legends.
