As fans might have put together, The Flash changed more than just the gender of the villain Spin, as there’s a case to be made that this is an entirely new character altogether.
The comic version of Spin was able to affect The Flash’s life through a meta he met named Edward Martinez, who is capable of sensing and empathizing with people’s feelings.
Spin then forced Martinez to watch the news and was able to twist the meta’s fears and anxieties he gathered from the public into a reality and turn the world against The Flash.
For that reason, it’s hard to say just what role “Spin” will play in the series at this point, although traditionally, the comic book character was a villain.
