The Flash is an American television series developed by writer-producers Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg and Geoff Johns, based on the DC Comics character the Flash. The series premiered in the United States on October 7, 2014 on The CW television network. It is a spin-off from Arrow, a show in the same universe. The first season follows police forensic investigator Barry Allen (Grant Gustin), who develops super-speed after he is struck by lightning. In his attempt to learn about his powers and how to use them for good, he is assisted by S.T.A.R. Labs' Dr. Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker), Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes) and Dr. Harrison Wells (Tom Cavanagh). Barry also tries to solve the murder of his mother (Michelle Harrison) by a superhuman attacker (Matt Letscher) when he was young. The murder investigation unjustly imprisoned his father (John Wesley Shipp), leaving detective Joe West (Jesse L. Martin) and his daughter Iris (Candice Patton) to take in the young Barry. The memory of his mother's murder and his father's framing motivates Barry to put his personal needs aside and use his powers to fight those who would hurt the innocent, shaping him into the Flash.
The following is a list of characters who have appeared in the television series. Many are named after (or based on) DC Comics characters.
This is a list of recurring actors and the characters they portrayed in multiple episodes, which were significant roles, sometimes across multiple seasons. The characters are listed, in alphabetical order by actor, by the season in which they first appeared.
Robbie Amell portrays Ronnie Raymond / Firestorm, an engineer at S.T.A.R. Labs and Caitlin Snow’s fiance', based on the DC Comics character of the same name who is half of the character Firestorm. He is thought to be dead in the particle accelerator explosion, saving the lives of his co-workers, including Cisco Ramon. It is later revealed that he survived the accident, which merged him with Martin Stein and the F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M. transmutation matrix, transforming both of them into one pyrokinetic entity. Though Firestorm is Ronnie's body, it is Stein who remains in control for most of their existence, yet Ronnie occasionally takes control for brief moments. They eventually learn to control their shared powers, including an ability to separate themselves at will. Like Caitlin, Cisco and Stein, Ronnie also becomes good friends with Barry Allen; he and Barry ultimately join forces with Oliver Queen to subdue the Reverse-Flash. Though Ronnie eventually marries Caitlin, he disappears and is presumed dead when he sacrifices himself to stop the singularity above Central City, giving a final goodbye to Caitlin.
Amell also portrays the Earth-2 version of the character, Ronnie Raymond / Deathstorm, who is Killer Frost's husband. He works for Zoom alongside Killer Frost and Reverb. Along with Reverb, Ronnie is killed by Zoom for harming the Flash.
Stephen Amell portrays Oliver Queen / Green Arrow, a former billionaire playboy who operates as a vigilante in Star City and is a friend of Barry's. Amell stars as the character on Arrow.
In opposition to what happened on Earth-1, it is revealed that the Earth-2 version of the Arrow is Robert Queen and Oliver died instead.
Clancy Brown portrays General Wade Eiling, a U.S. military general with an interest in metahumans, who wants to use them for the army, and has a history with S.T.A.R. Labs. When Eiling is revealed to have learned of Barry Allen's identity as the Flash, Eobard Thawne gives the general to Grodd to be placed under the gorilla's control. After being freed by the Flash, he and Barry form a grudging respect despite their enmity.
Victor Garber portrays Professor Martin Stein / Firestorm, a nuclear physicist focused on transmutation, based on the DC Comics character of the same name and is also half of the character Firestorm. During their initial merging, Stein remains in control of Firestorm, though Ronnie Raymond occasionally takes control for brief moments. They eventually learn to control their shared powers, including an ability to separate themselves at will. Professor Stein also subsequently gives Barry Allen and Eddie Thawne some insight on the possibility of time travel and their respective destinies. Stein also discovers Cisco Ramon's secret as a metahuman and encourages him to accept the status. After Ronnie's presumed death, Stein becomes a member of Team Flash and the group's scientific advisor following Eobard Thawne's demise. However, when it turns out that his body is unstable as a consequence of the combination of the dark matter with Stein's own matrix, his fusion with Ronnie stabilizing him, Stein gains a new partner in Jefferson "Jax" Jackson. In season 3, Stein discovers that due to both Barry's and his own respective time-traveling actions, he now has a daughter, Lily, with his wife in the post-Flash-point timeline; he never had a child due to his fear of being as neglectful as his father and his past commitments to his work prior to the timeline's reset. However, Martin discovers that he is actually a good father to Lily in the new timeline and loves his daughter.
The Earth-2 version of the character is also one half of the conjoined metahuman criminal Deathstorm. However, Ronnie doesn't release Stein or even listen to him and he eventually stops talking altogether. He is unwillingly killed by Zoom.
Michelle Harrison portrays Nora Allen, Barry Allen's mother. Although the Reverse-Flash was actually trying to kill the young Barry during the fight with the Flash's future self, Nora was instead Reverse-Flash's target after Flash took the younger Barry to safety, figuring that such a tragedy would prevent Barry from becoming Flash.
Harrison also voices the Earth-2 version of the character. On this Earth, she remains happily married to Henry Allen.
Roger Howarth portrays Mason Bridge, a reporter at the Central City Picture News who mentors Iris West and who has become suspicious of Eobard Thawne and has even found evidence of Simon Stagg's murder when everyone believes Stagg is a recluse. Eventually, Mason is killed by the Reverse-Flash, erasing all evidence to keep secrets. However, Mason's disappearance causes a chain of events that lead Barry Allen and Joe West to discover that the reporter is murdered for getting close to the truth about Thawne. When Iris is worried and begins looking into Mason's disappearance, Eddie Thawne covers with the story that Mason ran away for a girl, but Iris eventually learns the truth for herself.
Malese Jow portrays Linda Park, a journalist for the Central City Picture News who befriends Iris West and Barry Allen, and briefly dated Barry. The character was originally portrayed by Olivia Cheng in the series Arrow.Jow also portrays the Earth-2 version of the character, Linda Park / Doctor Light, based on the Kimiyo Hoshi version of the character. Unlike her Earth-1 counterpart, this Linda is a thief who is very easily startled and paranoid and willing to do anything to stay out of Zoom's sights.
Matt Letscher portrays Professor Eobard Thawne / Reverse-Flash, the time-travelling archenemy of Barry Allen / Flash from the future and a descendant of Eddie Thawne, based on the DC Comics character of the same name. Hailing from the 22nd century, Eobard was obsessed with the Flash, and desired to "become" his idol. Having spent years figuring out how the Flash came to be, he managed to successfully duplicate the reaction and become a speedster – only for Eobard to subsequently discover, through time travel, that he was destined to become his idol's greatest enemy, that he would never become his hero, and grew to despise him. Hell-bent on proving himself superior, Eobard would become the "reverse" of everything the Flash was, making it his life's mission to "take" as much as he can from the man he once looked up to, as the Reverse-Flash. The two enemies, rivals and opposites would then have subsequent encounters for years, neither one of the two speedsters strong enough to defeat the other. At one point in his life, the Reverse-Flash, who had traveled to 2024, vanishes with the Flash in the midst of a "crisis". After finally discovering his nemesis' identity, Eobard murders Nora Allen after a failed attempt to kill Barry as a child, but loses his connection to the Speed Force in the process and became stranded in the past. He then transmutes the likeness of Dr. Harrison Wells as his own appearance, serving as season one's main antagonist by orchestrating and manipulating various events in hopes of returning to his time period, until Eddie sacrifices himself in the first-season finale, causing Eobard's existence to cease. Eobard's first chronological appearance occurs in season two; the Reverse-Flash travels back in time to 2016, encountering the Flash for the first time (from Eobard's perspective). In the midst of using Tina McGee's "speed machine" construction to return to his time period via tachyons, he suffers a severe beating at the Flash's hands. While being briefly imprisoned at S.T.A.R. Labs, he came to know about some of his own future actions after interactions with the Flash, Cisco Ramon and Harry Wells. In order to prevent a time paradox, Eobard is sent bent back home, but not before vowing to return and learn the Flash's name. In the second-season finale, the Flash travels back to prevent the Reverse-Flash from murdering Nora, altering some significant events. In season three's premiere, Eobard is imprisoned by Barry while they're both in the Flashpoint timeline, trying to convince his nemesis to restore the reality they both know, which Barry is initially against. But when Barry starts losing memories and realizes this new timeline's dangers, Eobard is reluctantly released. The Reverse-Flash then travels back and murders Nora, which supposedly "fixes" the timeline. Eobard then brings Barry back to the different timeline and leaves, but not before taunting his nemesis.
Peyton List portrays Lisa Snart / Golden Glider, an aspiring criminal and Leonard Snart's younger sister. She shares a mutual attraction with Cisco Ramon who she initially kidnapped for her brother and coerced into creating a gun that turns things into gold, but becomes genuinely fond of later on. Although she helped her brother free the metahuman criminals in the Pipeline, Lisa sought Team Flash's help when her brother was found to be working for their abusive father Lewis Snart (later revealed to be due to her father threatening her life).
Liam McIntyre portrays Mark Mardon / Weather Wizard, a criminal with the ability to control the weather of his surroundings. Having similar powers to his sibling, Mark returns to Central City seeking revenge on Joe West for killing his brother. He was being held in the S.T.A.R. Labs prison before being set free by Leonard Snart and being offered a place in his crew the "Rogues". Mark is also revealed to have murdered Patty Spivot's father during a bank robbery with his brother months prior to the particle accelerator's explosion. He remains nursing his grudge against both Detective West and the Flash whom he hates for his numerous defeats by the latter.
Wentworth Miller portrays Leonard Snart / Captain Cold, the son of a police officer who turns to crime and uses a stolen cryonic technology weapon. Snart is a cunning and intelligent bank robber who seeks to eliminate the Flash, seeing as a threat to his world, and steals a gun from S.T.A.R. Labs, created by Cisco Ramon, that is able to freeze objects and people on contact; Cisco originally created the weapon to stop the Flash if something went wrong. Snart teams up with Mick Rory in an attempt to kill The Flash but fails and yet gets The Flash to reveal to the world that he exists. He is also the brother of Lisa Snart. He also learns from Cisco, after threatening to kill Dante Ramon, that Barry Allen is the Flash. He eventually becomes leader of his crew that Barry dubs the "Rogues". Barry later asks Snart to assist him in transporting metahumans out of Central City to Lian Yu. Snart accepts, in exchange for Barry erasing Snart's criminal record. He double-crosses Barry by sabotaging the truck containing Mark Mardon/Weather Wizard, Kyle Nimbus/The Mist, Roy Bivolo/Rainbow Raider, Jake Simmons/Death Bolt and Shawna Baez/Peek-a-Boo. Snart kills Simmons with his cold gun, claiming Simmons owed him money. Mark and Bivolo now owe Leonard, but Shawna and Nimbus escape. Leonard is later extorted into working for Lewis Snart when his own father plants a bomb inside Lisa's head, but after Team Flash successfully removes it, Leonard kills Lewis out of spite and is arrested for his father's murder, which he doesn't try to resist. He is later broken out by Mardon to aid in getting revenge on Barry but declines and yet warns Barry of Mark's plans. When asked of Snart's whereabouts by the team, Barry responds that Oliver mentioned he's traveling with some friends of theirs, called the Legends. During the alien attack, the Legends appear, prompting Barry to ask Ray Palmer where the absent Snart is, with Ray informing him that Snart sacrificed himself to save the team, proving to be a hero.
The Earth-2 version of the character is the mayor of Central City.
Danielle Nicolet portrays Cecile Horton, the Central City district attorney and a close friend of Joe West. In the third season, she and Joe begin a romantic relationship.

A friend of Harrison Wells (Earth-1 version), she is the director of Mercury Labs and the designer of the tachyon device, which allows any object to move at the speed of light, stolen by the Reverse-Flash once during season one and again in season two. It is later revealed that Dr. McGee is aware of Barry's secret for some time but keeps this knowledge to herself.
Dominic Purcell portrays Mick Rory / Heat Wave, an arsonist and accomplice of Leonard Snart who, in contrast to his partner, uses a heat gun developed by Cisco Ramon capable of burning almost anything. However, Mick's obsession for maximum destruction and failure to think causes tensions between him and Snart that even his own partner has even been tempted to kill him.
David Ramsey portrays John Diggle / Spartan, a member of Oliver Queen's team and best friend to Oliver. Ramsey stars as the character on Arrow.
Ciara Renée portrays Kendra Saunders / Chay-Ara / Hawkgirl, a young woman who is just beginning to learn that she has been repeatedly reincarnated over the centuries.

Sabongui also portrays the Earth-2 version of the character, a criminal.
John Wesley Shipp portrays Henry Allen, Barry's father. Shipp previously portrayed Barry Allen / Flash in the 1990 television series. Henry was a respectable doctor before he was wrongfully convicted of murdering his wife Nora Allen and incarcerated in Iron Heights Prison after Eobard Thawne / Reverse-Flash framed him. Only his son Barry and later Joe West believe his innocence. Throughout season one, he learns that Barry is the Flash and is proud of his son. Henry serves as Barry's moral conscience in using these powers wisely, thus keeping Barry from being tempted for personal gains, such as altering their damaged past through time travel despite the possibility of bringing Nora back to life. In season two's premiere, Henry is released from prison upon the discovery of Eobard's confession to Nora's murder. However, he tells Barry that he's leaving Central City to seek a reclusive life as he believes that his presence could hold back Barry's duties as the Flash. He returns later to counsel Barry and offer encouragement after his son's disastrous fight with Hunter Zolomon / Zoom before returning to his seclusion. De-powered, Barry visits his father that has been accustomed to solitary and tranquility; Henry then accompanies his son and joins S.T.A.R. Labs to help in Barry's fight to save the world from Zoom. Henry is killed by Hunter when he wants Barry to relive the same tragedy he went through as a child.
Despite not appearing, it is implied that the Earth-2 version of the character remains happily married with Nora Allen.
Shipp also portrays the Earth-3 version of the character, Jay Garrick / Flash. Zoom held Jay captive in a failed attempt to harness his speed, and was inspired to take up his persona and falsely operate as the Flash of Earth-2, even using Jay's name. To keep him from escaping, Zoom forced Jay to wear a mask that suppressed his speed and prevented him from talking. After Zoom's defeat, Barry rescues Jay, who travels with Harry and Jesse Wells back to Earth-2, who promise to help him find a way home. Jay adopts Hunter's Flash helmet as a symbol of hope, taking satisfaction in taking something from Zoom just as Zoom had done to him. Jay reappears in the Season 3 episode "Paradox" as a sympathetic yet stern mentor to Barry, explaining that time travel can have adverse consequences and that Barry must live with his mistakes from creating the "Flashpoint" timeline, and thus taking over Henry's role as Barry's conscience. In "The Present" Barry seeks Jay's help with battling Savitar, Which they succeed and banish him to the speed force, where Barry sees a vision of the future with Savitar killing Iris. Jay tells him that the future can be fixed and shouldn't worry about it and returns to Earth-3.
Regarding the difference in his portrayal of Garrick over Allen, Shipp "figured Jay is my version of Barry" from the 1990 series, adding, "I went back and I watched a couple of episodes of the 1990/91 version to kind of remind myself what I did. [Jay] is much more reminiscent of my Barry Allen from 25 years ago than my Henry Allen. I went back and I was amazed how much attitude my Barry Allen had in some situations. I went back and I picked up that thread and I brought it forward 25 years, and tried to weave it in."
David Sobolov voices Grodd, a hyper-intelligent gorilla with telepathic powers as a result of being experimented on by General Eiling under the watch of Eobard Thawne. It then sent to the Gorilla City on Earth 2 by Flash in season 2. In Season 3, it's planning on an attack to Central City with an army of the gorillas like it.
Violett Beane portrays Jesse Chambers Wells / Jesse Quick, based on the DC Comics character of the same name. Jesse is the daughter of Harrison Wells from Earth-2. Like her father Jesse is a science prodigy, which her father occasionally acknowledges that she is his intellectual superior. She also claims to have 5 majors in college, one biochemistry. Jesse is abducted by Zoom to force Harry to obey his demands by threatening her safety. She is later rescued by her father with the help of Barry, Cisco and Earth-2's Barry Allen and Iris West. Jesse and Harry later seek refuge on Earth-1 to escape from Zoom. She also develops a crush on Wally West. She later leaves Central City for Opal City after becoming horrified to learn of Harry's actions in ensuring her safety, but returns after her father is kidnapped by Griffin Grey. Jesse works with the S.T.A.R. Labs team and also provides her own expertise in biology and other fields of science after Caitlin has been taken by Zoom. As Barry disappears by Harry's dark matter attempts to restore the former's speed, Jesse and Wally are affected by it. Barry wakes Jesse from her coma after he returns from the Speed Force. After Zoom's defeat, she and her father return to Earth-2. Months later she and Harry return to Earth-1, with Jesse now exhibiting speedster abilities, and aspires to help people too, having been inspired by watching Barry's actions. After she and Barry stop Magenta together Harry becomes more encouraging of her desires, as he'd previously tried to discourage her, and has Cisco make her a suit similar to Barry's. After training with Barry for several days she and Harry return to Earth-2 to defend the Central City there, essentially Jesse becoming Earth-2's own Flash under the name 'Jesse Quick'. Jesse and Wally also admit their feelings starting a sort of long-distance relationship.
Teddy Sears portrays Hunter Zolomon / Zoom. A speedster from Earth-2, he obsessively desired to become the only speedster in the Multiverse as Zoom (voiced by Tony Todd, with Ryan Handley behind the initial portrayal), the main antagonist of season two. Hunter was a traumatized child (portrayed by Octavian Kaul) that watched his mother's murder at his father's hands which triggered his bloodlust as a serial killer before he gained his powers from the particle accelerator explosion on Earth-2. Dissatisfied, he sought to increase his speed with the Velocity serum but soon discovered he was dying of an illness afflicted from it. Searching for a cure, he traveled throughout the multiverse and captured Jay Garrick. Unsuccessful in stealing Jay's speed to cure himself, Hunter kept the Flash of Earth-3 imprisoned with a speed dampening mask. Inspired to be both the "hero" and the villain, he used Jay's name as the fraudulent Flash of Earth-2 to instill false hope while taking away said hope as Zoom. After discovering Earth-1, he plots to steal Barry Allen's speed for himself. To ensure Barry has enough speed for him to steal, Zoom begins sending various metahumans from Earth-2 to Earth-1 to fight the Flash of Earth-1 to increase his nemesis's speed, while also infiltrating the team as Jay. Zoom also extorts Harry Wells into physically stealing Barry's speed by kidnapping Jesse Wells. He also becomes Caitlin Snow's new love interest, but she remains unaware of his true nature until Zoom kills a time remnant clone of himself in front of Barry and the team. After succeeding in stealing Barry's speed, Zoom brings his army of Earth-2 metahumans to Earth-1 to conquer the planet and construct a device capable of destroying planets. He aims to destroy every other version of Earth in the Multiverse, leaving only Earth-1 in order to ensure he remains the only speedster in the Multiverse. Hunter also seeks to corrupt Caitlin's mind into becoming like that of her Earth-2 double Killer Frost (so they can resume their relationship) and then Barry's by killing Henry in the same spot Eobard killed his mother, convinced that they are similar because of their childhood traumas. However, Barry ultimately bests Hunter in their final fight and foils his plan, summoning two Time Wraiths to abduct him for his crimes against the timeline and transform him into the "Black Flash", a corpse-like creature enslaved to the Speed Force. Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg said, in season one "with the Reverse-Flash, we just modulated Tom Cavanagh’s voice, and this year we wanted to do something a little bit different [for Zoom]. Part of the mystery of the season is who or what is underneath the Zoom outfit, and so we wanted to do something like James Earl Jones as Darth Vader — this iconic voice coming out of this mask."Sears also briefly portrays the Earth-1 version of the character, a non-metahuman individual.
Shantel VanSanten portrays Patty Spivot, based on the DC Comics character of the same name. She is Detective Joe West's new protégée and partner and is the only member of the new metahuman task force at CCPD besides Cisco Ramon and a love interest of Barry Allen. Her father was murdered by Mark Mardon during a bank robbery prior to the particle accelerator's explosion, leaving Patty determined to stop metahuman criminals in remembrance of him, and she becomes a detective under Joe. Despite her father's murder, she does not hate metahumans (as the Mardons weren't empowered at the time of her father's death) and she acknowledges the Flash's heroism. However, she believes that having superhuman power brings out the best or the worst in people. It is later revealed that her hatred for Mark stems from survivor's guilt; when she was a teenager, she was supposed to make the deposit at the bank where her father died. When Patty gets her chance at revenge on Mark, the Flash persuades her to choose justice over vengeance for her loved ones' sakes. She leaves Central City to pursue her studies in the Forensic Science program at Midway City University, which she previously postponed for investigating her father's murder. She also deduces Barry's secret identity and offers to stay if Barry confirms it and the feelings for her. Barry, however, admits nothing, not wanting to stop Patty from pursuing her dream. Patty surreptitiously does get Barry to reveal the Flash persona to her as she departs Central City, thus ending their relationship on good terms.
Though not seen, it's revealed that the character's Earth-2 version is a CSI, showing that she did pursue Forensic Science.
Vanessa A. Williams portrays Francine West, Iris and Wally West's mother and Joe West's estranged wife. Francine abandoned her family four years prior to Joe taking Barry in, out of guilt of endangering Iris when her daughter was a child during her drug abuse. After settling in Keystone City and following Wally's birth, Francine becomes sober from her addiction and a good mother to her son after her failure with her daughter. After being diagnosed with MacGregor's syndrome (a terminal illness resulted by her past substance abuses), she tries to reconcile with her family and to entrust Wally to them before she dies. Ultimately, Joe and Iris forgive Francine on her deathbed, and accept Wally as part of the family.
Tobin Bell voices Savitar, a speedster who claims to be the "god of speed" and the main antagonist for season three. Savitar is the multiverse's first metahuman with speed, naming himself after the Hindu god of motion, and is worshipped by his own cult.
