However, it was recently revealed that Black Flash would not be returning to The Flash, but actually Legends of Tomorrow.
Originally erased from existence at the end of The Flash season 1, Eobard himself is basically an aberration for merely still being around, which has made him a prime target for the Black Flash to try and hunt down.
A grim reaper who punishes speedsters for creating time aberrations, the visual similarities between Zoom’s final form and the Black Flash were simply too blatant to be shrugged off.
Legends of Tomorrow continues Tuesday, February 7 with ‘Turncoat’ at 9pm on The CW.
