The Flash Season 6 Villain
Sendhil Ramamurthy (best known for his work on Heroes) played Dr. Ramsey Rosso a.k.a. Bloodwork for the first half of the season. Rosso is a brilliant physician who works on hematological oncology. He’s a friend of S.T.A.R. Labs’ Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker), and meets back up with her after an unexpected event. Rosso’s desire to defy the laws of nature take him down a dark path where he enters the pantheon of Flash villainy.
The villain for the second half of the season is yet to be confirmed, but we have our suspicions.
Efrat Dor (Mayans MC, Sneaky Pete) is joining the cast of The Flash in its post-Crisis Season 6B portion (referred to as “Graphic Novel #2”), reports EW. She will play Eva McCulloch, whose official description reads:
“A quantum engineer and co-founder of McCulloch Technologies, Eva McCulloch is a scientific genius who works on the bleeding edge. Eva has been away from Central City for many years. But a chance meeting with Iris West-Allen results in a surprising alliance that pushes the boundaries of sanity, while also uncovering a vast conspiracy to take down Team Flash and its allies.”
Intriguingly, as the report points out, the closeness of the name Eva McCulloch to that of Evan McCulloch, a.k.a. the once-mentioned villainous Mirror Master of Earth 2 (and of the comics,) is hardly coincidental, although not to be confused with the show’s Earth 1 Mirror Master, Sam Scudder, with whom Team Flash has tangled back in Season 3. Thus, amongst the numerous possibilities for Eva’s origin is the theory that she is Earth 2 Mirror Master, gender-swapped post-Crisis. Such a concept wouldn’t even be unprecedented, since the timeline alterations of “Flashpoint” saw John Diggle’s baby daughter, Sara, replaced with son John Jr., a.k.a. “JJ.”

The Flash Season 6 Story
The Flash has to deal with the aftershocks of this year’s Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event, which promises to shake the Arrowverse to its very core. There’s no doubt that life will change for Barry, especially after an event as famous as DC’s biggest and best Crisis. As some of you already know, a DC Crisis usually means that a Flash is about to die.
You can also expect some big changes coming for Caitlin Snow and Killer Frost this year. We have more details on that right here.
We’ll keep you updated as we hear more about The Flash season 6.
The Flash Season 6 Cast
Natalie Dreyfuss (The Originals, Still the King) has joined The Flash Season 6 for the recurring role of Sue Dearbon. The casting foreshadows a monumental development for the television arc of Ralph Dibny/Elongated Man, since, as discerning DC Comic fans already know, Sue is destined to become his wife and cohort. The character first appeared back in The Flash Vol 1 #119, dated March 1961, introduced as a wealthy-family-hailing debutante who the enamored superheroic schmoe, Ralph, manages to woo after some crimefighting circumstances. The comic-depicted caste-clash will be prevalent on television, and Ralph will learn that there’s more to Sue’s backstory than fancy soirees.
And yes, of course Tom Cavanagh is back, and this time, he’s be playing a new version of Harrison Wells, known as “Nash” Wells this time around.
