A lot of our favorite TV characters are going to be dealing with big trouble when the fall season gets here, but few will have problems quite as complicated as " The Flash's " Barry Allen. Though he will get to smile more than usual when his time-flip allows him a Flashpoint-set respite from his former troubles, it will all come back to haunt him. The Season 3 trailer tease us in on Doctor Alchemy being one of Flash's major upcoming villains, and it looks like that villain will share its antagonistic duties with a second overarching Big Bad in the form of comic book nemesis Savitar.
In the comics Savitar is a Cold War pilot test pilot who is struck by lightning during a flight mission. His name comes from the Hindu "god of motion" and he has an obsession with speed - enough so that he's the leader of a cult. He's battled other good guy speedsters like Johnny Quick and Max Mercury, and the Wally West version of the Flash, trying to steal their speed and transfer it to his followers, creating a speedster army under his command.
Season 3 of " The Flash " introduces the new "Flashpoint" continuity created by Barry Allen's decision alter the timeline and save his mother. In addition to seeing new heroes (like the Wally West version of The (kid) Flash, it would be expected that a new dark speedster would also be part of Flashpoint's New Deal.
The Flash Season 3 returns this October on The CW.
