Brainstorm is the perfect kind of villain to bring into The Thinker’s season, and it would have been interesting to get a direct take on either of the DC villains that had that name, but The Flash is tweaking things for the TV version.
The single-named Brainstorm will be a new iteration of the Dominic Lanse version of the character from the New 52 reboot.
Dominic is a likable TSA agent who finds himself suddenly capable of the extraordinary act of reading people’s minds.
He’s likely one of the new metahumans The Thinker’s responsible for, and it’ll be interesting to see what happens when he’s in a room with anyone in Team Flash.
