If nothing else, it would at least feel more ethical and moral to turn off a computer than to kill a human being.
As comic fans might know, one version of the Thinker wasn’t human at all, but rather an A.I. creation modeled after the human version’s Thinking Cap.
Because The Flash likes to get as weird as can be with its page-to-screen storytelling, I wouldn’t be the least big surprised if we get to see the live-action DeVoe somehow zap his consciousness over into a computerized device, attempting to give himself eternal life through technology.
That could be dangerous, obviously, but if Team Flash figures out a way to use the inhibitor to trap his consciousness, then they could keep him within an easily controllable (and hopefully offline) computer program.
