Abra is NOT a sociopath as he has a family he loves

Changed line(s) 124 (click to see context) from:

** Zig-zagged. On the one hand, comics Abra is much pettier committing crimes due to being an AttentionWhore, has a much higher body count, and has caused a lot of trauma for the Flash. In contrast, this Abra only kills people who get in his way and has the much simpler motive of wanting to return to his own time after being TrappedInThePast. Having said that, this Kadabra apparently lacks his comic counterpart's FreudianExcuse and psychiatric issues, making him far less sympathetic.

Added line(s) 148 (click to see context) :

* {{Foil}}: Is very similar to Thawne. Both are enemies of The Flash from the future who get TrappedInThePast with no way home. Both are extremely intelligent and have an advantage over Barry due to future knowledge. The difference however lies in Thawne for the most is a sociopath who only cares about himself, while Abra genuinely has a family that he loves and cares for. Ultimately, Barry is able to guide Abra through a HeelFaceTurn, while Thawne remains his ArchEnemy.

Deleted line(s) 148 (click to see context) :

* NotSoDifferent: He's not unlike the Reverse-Flash being a time traveller from the future who is TrappedInThePast and only wishing to return, before having his attempts screwed over by the Flash.

Deleted line(s) 154 (click to see context) :

* TheSociopath: He displays zero remorse to the people he hurts.

Changed line(s) 37,327 (click to see context) from:

* AccentRelapse: A variation. Savitar generally speaks in a formal, stilted manner, using metaphors as if he's a sage. This stops when he reveals himself to be Barry's time remnant, and it stays that way even when he's back inside his suit.
* AchillesHeel:
** Anything that affects the present-day Barry can threaten Savitar's health and existence; Barry being rendered amnesiac left Savitar without his own memories, and he was completely incapacitated until Barry's memories were restored. In the same vein, Savitar and his minions can't simply kill Barry, as that would also erase Savitar from existence.
** The murder of Iris is the lynchpin of Savitar's existence; preventing it dooms Savitar to a fate of being {{Retgone}}d out of existence.
* AdaptationalAbomination: Subverted. He seemed like this at first, going from a really powerful but otherwise mortal speedster, to a PhysicalGod who WasOnceAMan. It turns out he merely has a GodGuise and is otherwise just as mortal as Barry Allen is given he is his rogue time remnant.
* AdaptationalBadass: Savitar is treated as a far more serious threat in the show than he was in the comics, with his alleged status as a PhysicalGod and being so fast he made standard speedsters look like normal people. Even when he is BroughtDownToBadass after exiting the Speed Force and TheReveal of his true identity, he still poses far more danger than comics Savitar. Team Flash was constantly faced with the problem of Savitar knowing exactly what would happen as he had already lived it, which made it extremely hard to defeat him.
* AdaptationalCurves: Inverted. Comics Savitar was absolutely ripped and his costume [[WalkingShirtlessScene showed it all off]]. The show's version of Savitar is revealed to be a time remnant of Barry Allen, so he possesses the same slender GeekPhysique underneath his armor.
* AdaptationalModesty: He is not the shirtless man of the comics, but dresses modestly in a black jacket and trousers while clad in his powered armor. He only appears shirtless once, and in a short flashback.
* AdaptationalNationality: Savitar was from an unnamed Eastern European country in the comics, while here he's American since his real identity is Barry Allen.
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Unlike his comics counterpart, whose main gimmick was being able to [[HealingFactor use the]] [[BlownAcrossTheRoom Speed Force]] [[ImmuneToBullets in unorthodox ways]], this Savitar is more of a LightningBruiser who overwhelms his opponents with sheer power. While no less dangerous, he's much less versatile. He also displays additional powers thanks to his connection to the Philosopher's Stone, being capable of DemonicPossession and {{telepathy}}.
* AdaptationalUgliness: His comics counterpart was a WalkingShirtlessScene covered in muscles. This Savitar spends most of his time wrapped in armor, and he's later shown to have burns on his face and a discolored eye. This trope also applies once he is revealed to be Future Flash, who in the comics was a well-built, square-jawed man with a few wrinkles on his face at worst, and who had an ethereal and noble appearance due to the blue light radiating from his suit. Here, he's a grimy, slight figure with the aforementioned facial damage.
* AdaptationalVillainy: The Future Flash from the New 52 comics underwent SanitySlippage and had somewhat nobler intentions, wishing to correct his own mistakes which led to the death of Wally West. The Arrowverse version is much more pettier and selfish, doing many things ForTheEvulz, as well as killing Iris only to secure his ''own'' existence by making sure Barry will eventually become him.
* AdaptationDyeJob: The comics' Savitar had blue-black hair and white lightning. This Savitar has brown hair and yellow lightning that only looks white while he's in his armor.
* AdaptationOriginConnection: Comics Savitar had no connection to the Philosopher's Stone or Dr. Alchemy. He was just a normal human pilot who was in an accident where he got struck by lightning and gained speed. It turns out this ''isn't'' the comics Savitar, just an insane time remnant using the name of the Hindu god to create a myth [[StableTimeLoop that he heard about earlier in his life]]. This also extends to Future Flash who had nothing to do with Alchemy either.
* AffablyEvil: When he's not hamming it up, he manages to be a bit friendly, like a king to his subjects. When talking to Wally West through Alchemy, he is disconcertingly warm and friendly, almost fatherly. Being a corrupted future version of Barry Allen, who's friendly by default, will probably do that for you.
* AgeLift: The Future Flash in the comics was about middle-aged, as indicated by his being an older version of an adult Barry Allen from two decades into the future. The one in the show still seems to be in his twenties.
** He's actually a bit older. Chronologically Savitar is a time remnant created around 2020/2021 when Barry would around his early 30s. His appearance can largely be explained by an actor (who is already arguably OlderThanTheyLook) playing an older version of himself.
* AlasPoorVillain: In spite of his actions, even Barry felt sorry for him.
* AlternateSelf: To our Barry, considering he is a time remnant of the Barry from a possible future.
* AmbiguousSituation: Was he genuinely interested in redemption in the Season Three finale, or just biding his time to let his plan be completed? He seems sincere while talking to Barry and Iris, but when asked about his time at STAR Labs by Killer Frost, Savitar claims that it went as he expected.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: While he is humanoid, it was unclear what entity he was, as his physical characteristics are far from any human being. It seemed like he WasOnceAMan, but became the first to gain SuperSpeed, subsequently becoming a god of motion. Then it's revealed that he actually still ''is'' a man (or rather a metahuman) under that armor, not a god at all.
* AncientEvil: The first man granted with SuperSpeed who becomes an evil HumanoidAbomination that is TheDreaded to many (if not all) speedsters across TheMultiverse. At least, that's what the legend of Savitar says, but he is actually from the ''future''; specifically, he's '''a future time remnant of Barry Allen'''.
* AnimatedArmor: As revealed in "[[Recap/TheFlash2014S3E21CauseAndEffect Cause and Effect]]", his suit can fight on its own, though it only moves at SuperSpeed when he's inside it.
* ArchEnemy: Savitar considers Barry to be his in no small part due to Barry's future self locking him inside the Speed Force, which he says almost made him lose his mind multiple times. Savitar also seems to blame Barry for turning him into a speedster in the first place and believes that he doesn't deserve his happy life. Then it's revealed Savitar was actually created by the abuse of time remnants, one of which turned to the dark side. One can't get [[HisOwnWorstEnemy more personal as an enemy than himself]].
-->'''Savitar:''' You have everything, and deserve '''none''' of it!
* ArmoredVillainsUnarmoredHeroes: His heavy armor contrasts Barry's friction-resistant suit, but it's not invincible and it can be broken. "Into The Speed Force" reveals that it's also a means to help with his GodGuise.
* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: This was Savitar's ultimate/secondary plan even if his first plan of killing Iris and completing the StableTimeLoop were to fail. He has Cisco modify the Speed Force bazooka into an interdimensional quantum splicer and have it fired at Savitar in close proximity to a portal. The result would be that Savitar would be fragmented across space and time, essentially [[TheOmnipresent existing every at once]] as a true [[CompleteImmortality immortal]] [[PhysicalGod God]]. Though Cisco of course doesn't allow this and sabotaged the device to keep Savitar anchored to the present.
* BadassBoast: He ''loves'' making these, with his AGodAmI speeches, claiming that he "rules" the Speed Force and that other speedsters are nothing before him.
* BadBoss: He's willing to execute his underlings when they fail him. However, this only extends to the metas actually working for him.
* BatmanGambit: Being stuck inside the Speed Force allowed Savitar to witness Wally's transformation into Kid Flash in the Flashpoint timeline, and thus, he came up with the idea to turn Wally into Kid Flash in the current timeline. Afterward, he tormented Wally, telling him [[IShallTauntYou that he would never be fast enough to stop him]], all to ensure that Wally would create a portal to the Speed Force and throw the last piece of the Philosopher's Stone into it, which would allow Savitar to swap places with him and be free once more.
* BeenThereShapedHistory: It was Savitar who went back in time and created the speedster legend of Savitar, the God of Speed, to begin with.
* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: Barry Allen, the kind, humble, seemingly incorruptible hero, spawned a cruel, manipulative, ruthless villain consumed by a god complex.
* BerserkButton: He hates being called Barry Allen, because that's not who he is.
* BigBad: Of ''The Flash'' Season Three. Despite it initially seeming like he would form a BigBadDuumvirate with Dr. Alchemy as heads of his cult, Alchemy is only his vessel. This is even lampshaded by Cisco, when calling Dr. Alchemy "the Big Bad's little bad".
* BigBadSlippage: Barry spends the whole of Season Three trying to save Team Flash from Savitar, only to realize that Savitar is a (possible) future version of himself.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: He sports a retractable blade on each of his gauntlets. While they're formidable, they can still be broken off with, say, a vibrating hand.
* BondVillainStupidity:
** Savitar couldn't resist [[EvilGloating gloating]] to Team Flash about how he inherits Barry's ''every'' memory, by having Killer Frost SpeakInUnison to Barry. This is what tips off Team Flash on how to defeat him, by having present Barry LockedOutOfTheLoop so that Savitar is unable to gain any memories. H.R. exploits this by performing a swap with Iris without Barry or Savitar's knowledge.
** Relying on Cisco to complete the device he needs for his ascension to godhood was an ''astoundingly'' stupid idea. The end result? Jay is freed from the Speed Force, and Savitar's plans are completely ruined. This is especially egregious since he knew Prime Barry worked with Cisco for years, and saw Cisco pull the same kind of fast one on their other foes many times over.
* BreakThemByTalking: Outside of being an immense physical threat, one of Savitar's most commendable abilities is his power to completely terrify and shatter his enemies simply using words. He was able to goad Wally into carrying out his will, using constant taunts, which ended in Wally throwing a piece of the Philosopher Stone into the Speed Force and being sucked in himself while Savitar was released.
* BroughtDownToBadass: Being trapped inside the Speed Force allows Savitar to run so fast that it looks like he's teleporting and Barry has no hope of keeping up. However, once he manages to escape, he seems to drop to being a very powerful speedster, still faster then Barry, but not nearly as godlike as he was before, nor as invulnerable. This is because he's not a god at all but a speedster, one of the most high-profile speedsters ever, but still no god.
* CainAndAbel: As Barry, he was Wally's foster brother. As Savitar, he not only sealed Wally in the Speed Force, but he cripples him and leaves him catatonic in a possible future.
* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: He had many chances to kill Barry during their fights, but never did so. Eventually, it's revealed he ''can't''; since he's an future time remnant, killing his younger prime self would mean erasing himself from existence. He is probably the best example of this trope out of all ''The Flash'' {{Big Bad}}s, as letting Barry live is the ''only'' way he can secure his own existence. Though when Barry directly suggests the possibility of committing suicide, Savitar reminds him that's what Eddie Thawne did to ensure the Reverse-Flash's non-existence, and Eobard Thawne managed to get back ''anyway''... not that Savitar himself is particularly interested in TemptingFate.
* CastAsAMask: As with Creator/TonyTodd voicing Zoom, Creator/TobinBell voices Savitar to help hide his true identity.
* CatchPhrase "Bow to your god!" and "I am the future, Flash." Except he's ''actually'' saying, "I am the Future Flash."
* ChestInsignia: [[FreezeFrameBonus It's hard to make out at first]], but he sports a large lightning bolt on his chest, reversed from Barry's like with the Reverse-Flash and Zoom, but without a circle behind it.
* ChewingTheScenery: Once his true identity is outed, Creator/GrantGustin definitely [[EvilIsHammy hams it up]] in his portrayal of the maniacal Savitar.
* CloningBlues: Savitar reveals that he was one of many time remnants created by Future Barry to fight Savitar. He was the only one to survive, but subsequently got rejected by Barry and the rest of Team Flash. This absolutely broke him, leading to his StartOfDarkness and becoming Savitar himself.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Normal speedsters have yellow, orange, or red lightning. Speedsters overdosing on Velocity-9 have blue lightning. Savitar's is pure white, likely because of his suit of armor. "Cause and Effect" reveals that when he's running around outside of it, he has the same golden lightning as Barry, due to being his own time remnant.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Generally defied in that he always calls himself Savitar, but he receives a civilian name that he didn't have in the comics, Barry Allen, since he's also the show's version of Future Flash. However, he only uses that codename when trolling the heroes with the line "I am the future, Flash."
* ComboPlatterPowers: He's the fastest speedster and has the standard speedster powerset and [[LogicalWeakness weakness to cold]], but he also has a whole plethora of unusual abilities and traits, such as his [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld millennia-long lifespan]], his [[TinTyrant armored skin]] and [[BladeBelowTheShoulder weapons]], his [[InvisibleToNormals invisibility to non-speedsters]], the ability to [[DemonicPossession possess]] a human as Dr. Alchemy to lead his acolytes, the ability to [[SuperEmpowering metamorph]] humans who have powers in the Flashpoint timeline by encasing them in a cocoon, and the ability to manipulate people by appearing as ghosts of their loved ones (much like [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer The First Evil]][[note]]it is known that showrunners Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg are fans of ''Buffy'' and thus may have been directly influenced by this idea[[/note]]).
* CompositeCharacter: His title and status as an extremely powerful leader of a Speed {{Cult}} belong to an otherwise nameless East European speedster. Also much like comics Savitar, Arrowverse Savitar was trapped in the Speed Force by a Flash (though in the comics, it was Wally). However, his true identity as an [[FutureBadass alternate future version]] of Barry Allen who went down a dark path makes him one to the New 52 Future Flash, who similarly bears pale blue TronLines on his costume. It's later clarified that he is a time remnant of the original Future Flash, who has a much smaller role in the show. He also draws traits from multiple speedsters and characters from the comics.
** His status as the true intelligence and voice behind Alchemy makes him analogous to Alvin Desmond, the SplitPersonality that drove the original Dr. Alchemy, Albert Desmond, to villainy.
** The white lightning produced as he runs, as well as his tendency to call himself himself "the God of Speed", most likely reference Godspeed, who has a white suit.
** His suit being made from some kind of metal comes from the New 52 Reverse-Flash, Daniel West.
** He seeks vengeance against Barry for something his future self did to him, much like this continuity's version of Eobard Thawne. He's even shown killing Iris in one timeline, much like the comic version of Thawne.
** His origin relies on a StableTimeLoop involving travelling back at the height of his power to kill a loved one to ensure his existence in the first place, rather closely mirroring time travel villain Monarch's original incarnation in ComicBook/Armageddon2001.
** Finally, some of his comments in "The Wrath of Savitar" indicate that he's DrivenByEnvy of Barry's loved ones, similar to Cobalt Blue.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist:
** Visually, he contrasts the yellow and black suit worn by the Reverse-Flash and the black suits worn by Zoom and the Rival by wearing sharp silver armor.
** In terms of his goals, he doesn't fake being a mentor because he has no interest in using or stealing the Flash's speed, wanting only to kill him for what his future self did to him. Furthermore, he instead had an interest in allowing Wally West to become faster, so that Wally could take his place in the Speed Force and he could be freed. Although it turns out he did have plans for Barry after all, with the revelation that Savitar is actually a time remnant of Barry, his intentions are to corrupt Barry and break his spirit in order to lead to Savitar's creation to begin with.
** He also has powers aside from speed, being capable of harnessing the Philosopher's Stone to carry out DemonicPossession and {{Telepathy}}, something Reverse-Flash and Zoom never had. While Reverse-Flash used tachyons and Zoom abused Velocity-9, Savitar's suit allows him to harness his vast speed.
** While Eobard Thawne is the Reverse-Flash and Hunter Zolomon could be seen as a Reverse-Barry, Savitar being a time remnant from the future is a reverse of both sides of the hero.
** Like Reverse-Flash and Zoom, he adopts identities to hide who he really is. Unlike his predecessors who pretended to be heroes who mentored Barry, Savitar pretended to be a god to actively terrorize his younger self. Furthermore, while all three were once part of Team Flash, while the others were EvilAllAlong, Savitar was once a genuine hero who was DrivenToVillainy.
** While he does use impersonations, they have a more temporary effect of luring others into traps rather than long-term deception and gaining of trust like Thawne and Zolomon did.
** Unlike Thawne, who faked being a widower, and unlike Zoom, who had an unhealthy obsession with Caitlin, Savitar was once genuinely in love with Iris.
* TheCorrupter:
** His specialty. Edward Clariss and Frankie Kane, two of his minions seen thus far, were perfectly normal people before Savitar, through Alchemy, granted them their Flashpoint powers and memories, subsequently driving both to villainy. "Shade" shows that the corruption works like a drug -- the victim is overcome with a desire to find Alchemy and will let nothing stand in their way.
** He turned Julian Albert Desmond into Dr. Alchemy against his will.
** He encourages Killer Frost to give in to her evil side, seeking to kill Caitlin Snow for good.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: He claims Barry created him, but then backtracks when Barry presses him for more details -- which suggests that, like Thawne, his feud with Barry is a result of EvilIsPetty, but his huge ego won't let him admit it to Barry's face. The truth is that he ''is'' (a time remnant of) Barry, making this Savitar by definition a creation of Barry's... if not exactly the ''current'' Barry. In fact, Savitar is trying to create ''himself'' from our Barry via a StableTimeLoop.
* CurbStompBattle: When Barry was defeated by Zoom or the Reverse-Flash, there was always the sense that he was ''almost'' as fast as them. Even when they outclassed him, he could eventually catch up. Savitar is so fast that he fights other speedsters like speedsters fight normal people -- at least until he leaves the Speed Force, after which he and Barry are on more equal footing.
* CynicismCatalyst: The death of Iris West drove Future Barry off the deep end, and he pushed everyone else away in his zeal to defeat Savitar. Eventually, thanks to his abuse of time remnants, ''two'' Barry Allens existed; while one stood a chance of healing, the other was so consumed by his darkness that he ''became'' Savitar, and was willing to recreate the very tragedy that caused him to fall so far into despair just to ensure his existence as Savitar remained intact.
* DarkIsEvil: His armor is dark silver. And underneath it, [[EvilWearsBlack he wears all-black civilian clothes]].
* DarkReprise: Twice.
** When he reveals himself to be Future Flash, a version of the show's main theme plays alongside his usual OminousLatinChanting theme.
** When describing his plans to become a GodEmperor, he quotes the line "Every hour, every minute" from ''Running Home To You''.
* DarthVaderClone: He is a FallenHero with a set of PoweredArmor, burn injuries, and a [[EvilSoundsDeep deep voice]].
* DeadPersonImpersonation: He disguises as Dante or Francine to trick people close to them into doing something beneficial for them with the Philosopher' Stone.
* DeaderThanDead: He's shot by Iris and subject to a RetGone when the time loop that sustains his existence is broken.
* DeadpanSnarker: He has a lot of moments, first shown when talking to Magenta through Alchemy. He also snarks a lot outside of his suit at both Team Flash and Killer Frost.
** From "Cause and Effect":
-->'''Barry:''' You're not so scary without your armor.\\
'''Savitar:''' What can I say? I outgrew red.
** It's hard to tell if he's genuine, but he really digs into Barry at his offer to save Savitar's life.
-->'''Savitar:''' So how's this gonna work? Where will I live?\\
'''Barry:''' What do you mean?\\
'''Savitar:''' Are Wally and I gonna be bunkmates? Am I supposed to rejoin Team Flash, fight some Rogues? What kind of life were you thinking I'd lead?\\
'''Barry:''' I hadn't gotten that far yet.\\
'''Savitar:''' How would we explain me at the wedding? And do I sit bride-side or groom-side?
* DeathByAdaptation: PlayedWith. Comics Savitar is pretty much in line with the show, meeting his demise not too long after he exits the Speed Force. However, comics Future Flash survived the war with the heroes and replaced the past Barry, while his Arrowverse counterpart is erased from existence at the end of the season.
* DeathByIrony: Savitar, whose plan to become a god depended on killing Iris, is ultimately killed ''by'' Iris in the most mundane of ways. It also applies to his posterior erasure from existence: he tricked H.R. with an impersonation, and his transformation into a paradox was negated by an impersonation performed by H.R..
* DecompositeCharacter: Together, Savitar and the Barry Allen of 2024 take aspects of the comic's Future Flash. The latter has the character's depression and eventual return to heroism, while Savtar takes a version of the black-and-blue costume, the FaceHeelTurn, and the murderous nature. Both characters are called "Future Flash" at different points in the story.
* DemonicPossession: Alchemy acts as his avatar; Savitar uses whoever possesses the Philosopher's Stone as his vessel to act out his will.
* DimensionalTraveler: Apparently, he can quite easily hop back and forth in any part of TheMultiverse.
* DoNotCallMePaul: Addressing him by his given name will instantly agitate him.
* DramaticIrony: Earlier in the season, Barry hates that Julian has more authority over him and that they share the same lab. During that time, Julian is TheDragon for Savitar via DemonicPossession.
* DrivenByEnvy: In "The Wrath of Savitar", he does a lot of ranting about how Barry has everything and deserves none of it -- remarkable that a self-proclaimed god would be jealous of a mortal, even a super-powered one.
* DrivenToVillainy: According to him, he is one of Barry's time remnants who was rejected by his loved ones as a "failed" and "expendable" aberration. Evidently, he went insane later down the line, travelled into the distant past and became the Savitar of legend, intent on recreating the tragedy that defined his life to ensure his own existence.
* DrunkOnTheDarkSide: Savitar quite evidently basks in his immeasurable speed, flaunting around his [[AGodAmI self-claimed status as a god]]. The smugness he displays after he steps out of his suit and reveals himself further exemplifies this.
* EarlyBirdCameo: His voice is first heard in TheStinger of ''The Flash'' 3x01, while his arm makes an appearance in TheStinger of 3x02, but he isn't officially introduced until the end of 3x06. And since he is a time remnant of Barry Allen, he was technically introduced during ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' Season Two.
* EnemyWithout: He's revealed to be a time remnant created to fight Savitar who wound up surviving, then being just as broken by Iris dying as the original Barry, then being further broken by Team STAR Labs (with the exception of Caitlin/Killer Frost) rejecting him. So he is indeed what Barry would become if he lost his grip on all his humanity.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: As Barry recounting his favorite memory of his mother and father causes a tear to fall out, it shows that Savitar still loves his parents.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Played with. Judging by his apology to Iris in 3x15, Savitar still holds some fondness for her, but not enough to compromise his own existence.
* EvilCounterpart: To Julian Albert Desmond. Both are connected to the Philosopher's Stone and both started out as simple forensics scientists, but Julian is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who wants to atone for his actions as Alchemy while Savitar puts himself above all else. While Julian does everything he can to save Caitlin from her Killer Frost persona especially after he plays a role in her being overwhelmed by it, Savitar encourages her to embrace her inner darkness.
* EvilFormerFriend: Since he is revealed to be Future Barry Allen, he is this to Team Flash.
* EvilGloating: Most of his dialogue consists of him gloating about [[AGodAmI his godhood]] and how he's going to kill Barry and his loved ones.
* EvilIsBigger: He's ''huge'', easily towering over Barry and the other main characters. When he's given a practical effects appearance, he's played by 6'11" actor Andre Tricoteux. Beneath the armor, however, he is ''exactly'' as tall as Barry.
* EvilIsHammy: One of the hammiest {{Big Bad}}s, what with his constant proclamations of [[AGodAmI his godly status]]. It even carries over to after his reveal where he acts immensely smug towards Barry and Team Flash.
* EvilMakesYouUgly: A time remnant of the once dashing, dorky Barry Allen now [[TwoFaced bears a large burn scar]] over the right side of his face.
* EvilMentor: He cripples Wally in a possible future and even had a skirmish with Jesse Quick.
* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice is low and gravelly, downright metallic compared to Zoom's utterly demonic voice. Averted with his true voice, which sounds just like Barry's, only colder and darker.
* EvilSoundsRaspy: Courtesy of Creator/TobinBell. When he's speaking through someone else as Alchemy, it lacks the metallic echo. His actual voice is the same as Barry's, but does sound a bit rougher.
* EvilTwin: He counts since he is a very malevolent time remnant.
* EvilWearsBlack: He wears an all-black outfit underneath his PoweredArmor. In his own words, he outgrew red.
* ExactWords:
** When asked who he is, Savitar states "I am the future, Flash." But it turns out he was actually saying "I am the ''Future Flash''." He seemed to know the others would be confused by his odd usage of grammar, and did this just to further mess with them.
** He lampshades it once Barry finally figures it out and confronts him. "Like I told you from the beginning... ''I'' am the Future Flash."
* ExpendableClone: He's one of several time remnants Future Barry created to try and stop on Savitar. He's also the only survivor, [[DeconstructedTrope and is less than happy with being treated as expendable]].
* EyeScream: Subtly done. The eye on [[TwoFaced the burned right side of his face]] is discolored from dark green to pale blue.
* FacialHorror: The right side of his face is heavily burned.
* FallenHero: He was a time remnant of the heroic Barry Allen, before he went down a dark, corrupt path and became the villainous Savitar.
* FateWorseThanDeath: He considers his time stuck inside the Speed Force to be this. Given that Wally and Jay had to relive their worst moment, this is a reasonable statement.
* {{Foil}}:
** While the Rival was a minion of Dr. Alchemy and Season Three's StarterVillain, Savitar is a KnightOfCerebus and Alchemy's master, the true BigBad of the season.
** While the Reverse-Flash was an evil speedster from the future who killed one of Barry's loved ones in the past, Savitar is an evil speedster from the past (being thousands of years old) who may kill one of Barry's loved ones in the future. Likewise, the two wish to kill Barry but can't; whereas Thawne couldn't kill Barry since their fates were linked and he needed Barry's speed in order to return home, Savitar won't kill Barry because he wants to make him suffer first by murdering Iris in front of him. Then we learn that he's ''not'' from the distant past but rather the near future, and he wants Barry to be so destroyed through Iris' death, which will in turn allow Savitar to be created via Barry's abuse of time remnants. He also can't kill Barry either since he literally ''is'' a time remnant of Barry from the future.
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** In the first episode of Season Three, Eobard Thawne mocked Barry with the infamous line: "NOW WHO'S THE VILLAIN, FLASH?!"
** In "The Wrath of Savitar", Savitar, speaking through Julian, tells Barry "[[MyFutureSelfAndMe From my perspective,]] ''you're'' the BigBad."
** Not to mention how personal he made his feud with Barry and friends sound, to back it up.
** Along with:
*** "Only one of us could live." -- Barry cannot be happy and still create Savitar, so Savitar "kills" him by killing his happiness.
*** "You thought Thawne and Zoom were your greatest enemies, but it's me. It's always been me." -- Even without future interference, Barry is the cause of 90% of his own problems. Even now, Barry has some serious self-loathing issues.
*** "You're there when I become who I am." -- The moment Iris dies is the moment that sets Barry on the path to becoming Savitar.
*** "I created myself." -- Savitar causes the trauma that leads Barry to essentially become him.
*** "Only I can bring out my greatness." -- Only Savitar can turn Barry into what he is in the future.
*** "Iris... I'm sorry that you have to die. But it's you, or me." -- If Iris survives, Barry is not broken enough to become Savitar, and Savitar is erased from existence.
** His CatchPhrase -- "I am the Future Flash!" -- is a straight-up SarcasticConfession.
* FragileSpeedster: Although he easily overwhelmed Barry with his impossible speed in their first fight, Caitlin was able to immobilize him with one ice blast before he escaped. He proves even worse at taking hits without his armor. Barry is able to incapacitate him with an uppercut after he steps out of his armor, and Iris actually kills him with a single bullet.
* FreudianExcuse: He was created as an expendable time remnant and felt rejected by Barry and his friends. This hurt him so deeply that he decided to abandon all human emotions and become a god.
* FutureBadass: Savitar is revealed to be from the future and the fastest speedster thus far shown. Then he's revealed to be a future time remnant of Barry himself, meaning Barry really ''does'' become the Fastest Man Alive.
* FutureMeScaresMe: Barry finds out that Savitar is really a time remnant from the future, gone down a dark path. Even before this revelation, Barry was pretty terrified by the prospect of Savitar killing Iris, but this revelation makes it far, far worse.
* GeniusBruiser: Adding on to his past self being a BadassBookworm, Savitar has traversed the time stream and unlocked many secrets of the Speed Force, giving him the knowledge to match his immense physical power.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: The eyes of his armor glow bright, pale blue.
* AGodAmI: He claims to be the God of Speed. Considering he's named after the Hindu god of motion (as H.R. notes), he may not be exaggerating. Turns out it's a classic case of megalomania; he's the first speedster who ever existed who has merely convinced others he's a god. His impossibly fast speeds are also no longer present once he is freed from the Speed Force. Then we learn that he's a time remnant of the first speedster known on Earth-1.
* GodhoodSeeker: Although in the present day he already calls himself one, when his identity is revealed he talks about how he realized the solution to his problems was to become a god.
* GodGuise: ''The Flash'' 3x16, "Into The Speed Force", reveals he's not a god, just a man under that armor. 3x20, "I Know Who You Are", [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin fittingly]] reveals which man. 3x21, "Cause and Effect", reveals why he even tried. Under the rationale that "God feels no pain", he, a FallenHero, decided to become one himself.
* GodEmperor: In addition to being the God of Speed, he claims he "rules" the Speed Force. When his attempt to secure his own existence by killing Iris is thwarted, he tries to splice himself throughout all of time, meaning he really ''will'' rule. It doesn't work out for him.
* GoodColorsEvilColors: His armor is usually blue, but when Barry kicks Savitar out of his own armor and takes control, the blue TronLines turn red.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: The right half of his face is heavily scarred.
* HaveWeMetYet: Future Barry defeated him at some point, so he wants his revenge on our Barry. Then it turns out he's a time remnant ''of'' Future Barry and is trying to ensure his own corruption.
* HeavenlyBlue: Invoked. His primary color is blue, and he declares himself to be a god.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: He has become as manipulative as Eobard Thawne and as sadistic as (Earth-2) Hunter Zolomon, who were the respective {{Big Bad}}s of the first two seasons.
* HiddenAgendaVillain: While we know that he wants revenge for something Barry ''will'' do to him (much like the Reverse-Flash) and that he wants to challenge the most powerful speedsters across the multiverse, at 60% of the way through the season, we still have no idea why he's recreating the metahumans from the Flashpoint timeline. Presumably, he wanted them to be his minions, and WordOfGod is that he has a specific reason for turning Caitlin into Killer Frost and getting her on his side. We finally learn what it is in 3x23, "Finish Line" -- so she can help him splice himself throughout time and stop the Black Flash from getting in the way.
* HisOwnWorstEnemy: It's been repeatedly stated that Barry himself is his own worst enemy, not whoever or whatever he faces. This is taken to new heights with the reveal of Savitar being an evil time remnant of him -- for all his claims of godhood, Savitar hating his past prime self so much that he's willing to recreate the very tragedy that drove him to his own creation takes some serious internalized self-hatred to happen.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Impersonating the still- heroic Barry contributed to his downfall. It motivated H.R. to rescue Iris, impersonate her and take her place to die in order to atone for revealing Savitar where Iris was. That change makes Savitar a paradox and eventually erases him.
* HumanAllAlong: He was no god. Just an evil clone of Barry Allen.
* HumanoidAbomination: He looks even ''less'' human than Zoom. He looks more like a semi-organic robot than a person. However, it's revealed to be a disguise to make him look more intimidating and to keep his incredibly high speed under control.
* IAmTheNoun: He refers to himself as the future. Or rather, the Future ''Flash''.
* IHatePastMe: He's revealed to be a future time remnant of Barry Allen who ''despises'' his past self.
* IHaveManyNames: His real name is Barry Allen. He uses multiple aliases throughout Season 3, including Savitar, Alchemy, the God of Speed, and The Future Flash.
* IfICantHaveYou: He's perfectly willing to kill Iris not only to preserve himself, but also to make sure his past self won't be able to live happily with her. When offered a chance at redemption, he refuses specifically because he knows that Iris would never leave present Barry for him.
* InexplicablyAwesome: Savitar's PoweredArmor is still this, even after TheReveal. There are mysteries on how Savitar managed to create it, how it's able to do certain things like move on its own, or how it summons broken shards of itself back.
* InNameOnly: He had little in common with the comic book version of Savitar, with the only similarities being a powerful evil speedster who's worshiped as a god by his cult. It almost seemed like he was an original character with the same moniker, but then it's revealed he's actually a CompositeCharacter with Future Flash, and his armor ''does'' visually resemble the character's black suit by bearing blue TronLines of nearly identical design.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Savitar has become a megalomaniac, but that only accentuates how insecure he is and how desperate he is to escape from his very painful past as Barry Allen.
* InformedAttribute:
** He claims to be Barry's greatest nemesis, far more than the Reverse-Flash or Zoom, a claim that is later echoed by Abra Kadabra (a man from the future, for whom this is all ancient history). However, over 75% of the way through the season, his [[ArchEnemy personal connections to Barry]] have not been nearly as well established as with the Reverse-Flash or Zoom, meaning this claim has yet to be physically demonstrated. Finally subverted when we learn that he is a future time remnant, meaning Barry is indeed HisOwnWorstEnemy.
** Tracy comes to the conclusion that Savitar's armor keeps his supercharged speed under control, and that he'd likely suffer severe side-effects without it. When seen without the suit, Savitar's speed seems no different than Barry's, and he suffers no obvious consequences to going without it.
* InvisibleToNormals: Non-metahumans, most metahumans, and camera footage can't see him, even when he's not moving. Speedsters like the Rival and Barry can, though when he is moving, [[UpToEleven even they only see brief flashes of light]] due to how incredibly fast he is. However, he seems to be able to make himself visible when he wants to, such as allowing Julian to see him. It's eventually revealed that he's trapped in the Speed Force. Once he breaks free, he's visible to everyone.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Befitting his god delusion, Savitar only truly cares about himself. His entire evil plan revolves around ensuring his own existence and ascending to godhood.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: It only becomes apparent once he [[TheReveal reveals]] his MysteriousPast as a time remnant of Barry Allen, but it's quite clear Savitar has long since gone off the deep end. He dons a PsychoticSmirk, has gained [[AGodAmI a god complex]], and is uncharacteristically sadistic.
* KarmicDeath: He is ultimately killed by Iris West, the very woman whom he tried to kill to ensure his survival.
* KickTheDog: ''Hoo boy''...
** He baits Julian Albert into getting the Philosopher's Stone and getting turned into Dr. Alchemy with the false possibility of bringing his sister back to life.
** He appears to Wally as his mother in an attempt to get him to release the Philosopher's Stone, only to drop the disguise and taunt him.
** He seals Wally in the Speed Force to suffer an eternal MindRape.
** The BadFuture Barry saw has him stabbing Iris through the back, breaking Wally's spine, and sending Joe into a deep depression.
** As soon as he's close to facing a RetGone, he threatens to kill Caitlin if Cisco doesn't redesign the Speed Force Bazooka. To threaten Cisco, he mimicked the way Thawne killed Cisco in a cancelled timeline, just to hurt him.
** He specifically threatens to kill Cisco with a Reverse-Flash so he can "die the same way twice."
** Once he's finally out of ways to save himself, he declares that he will kill all of Barry's loved ones out of spite. It's the last KickTheDog moment he gets to make before Barry gives him a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown and Iris shoots him.
* KillTheOnesYouLove: His goal is to kill Iris West, the woman he outright called the love of his life. Why? So that he can break the prime Barry and drive him down the dark path that will give birth to Savitar. But in a twist of irony, it's Iris herself who puts an end to him.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: His beating and slaying of Edward Clariss would have been horrifying if Clariss weren't such a violent SmugSnake.
* KneelBeforeZod: He keeps insisting that others bow to him as part of his AGodAmI shtick.
* KnightOfCerebus: The moment he shows up, an already dark and intense scene goes UpToEleven. The revelation of his true identity in 3x20 only makes him even ''more'' of a living nightmare.
* LargeHam: He clearly enjoys boasting about his godhood at every opportunity.
-->'''Savitar:''' You are but a shadow beneath my throne.
* LeanAndMean: Underneath his armor, he has Barry's GeekPhysique.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In "I Know Who You Are", Barry confronts Savitar, declaring he has finally figured out Savitar's identity. Savitar dryly responds with the thought on ''every'' viewer's mind.
-->'''Savitar:''' It's about time.
* {{Leitmotif}}: His [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=E4q9GbMrwqk theme music]] consists of a choir chanting in soprano, as if to signify his godhood.
* ALighterShadeOfBlack: Despite his actions and what his end goal is, he's far more sympathetic than Reverse-Flash or Zoom. He's so far the only BigBad Barry has ever sympathized with in spite of how much Savitar wants him to suffer.
* LightIsNotGood: His armor has glowing lines of pale blue light and the lightning he leaves behind is pure white, but nobody would mistake him for a hero.
* LightningBruiser: He's huge and doesn't have Barry's [[FragileSpeedster fragility]], but is also fast well beyond any other speedster featured on the show.
* LiteralMetaphor: Barry Allen truly is HisOwnWorstEnemy.
* LivingLegend: Invoked. Jay Garrick and Abra Kadabra talk him up as an all-powerful "God of Motion," the very first speedster to ever exist, the conqueror of many Earths, and the very worst enemy of Barry Allen. It's later established that Future Flash deliberately spread the myths of "Savitar" via time travel.
* LossOfIdentity: The time remnant that once was Barry Allen [[ThatManIsDead thoroughly rejected his former identity]] after experiencing so much pain at the hands of his former friends disowning him. He instead embraces his GodGuise as Savitar and refusing to be referred to by his old name.
* [[MalevolentMaskedMen Malevolent Masked Man]]: His metallic armor masks his face up, and he's definitely malevolent.
* MacGuffin: The Philosopher's Stone, later revealed to be calcified Speed Force, is one of the main plot drivers for Season 3. It's the source of power for Dr. Alchemy (and later Savitar), it enables the recreation of the Flashpoint metas, and it's vital in what is needed to stop Savitar or alternatively what Savitar potentially uses to prevent himself from being foiled.
* ManipulativeBastard:
** He (through Alchemy) recruits a normal Edward Clariss by constantly showing him visions of his alternate Flashpoint life where he had powers, and offering to turn him into a metahuman. It's later all but stated he did this to the other three people he changed.
** He uses visions of someone's deceased loved ones (Julian's sister, Dante Ramon, Francine West) to manipulate them into taking the Philosopher's Stone and setting him free.
** He turns Wally into a speedster, then emotionally manipulates him using taunts and visions, which ends with Wally throwing the stone into the Speed Force and being sucked in himself, while Savitar was allowed to roam free.
* MasterOfIllusion: Thanks to the Philosopher's Stone, he can project illusions to manipulate people to do his bidding. He voices the illusions himself, making it even harder for Team Flash to tell what's real and what isn't.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It's ambiguous if his PoweredArmor has scientific or mystical origins. It's even implied to be [[{{Magitek}} both]].
* MeaningfulName: Savitar (also spelled Savitr) is a Hindu god of, among other things, motion.
-->'''HR:''' Savitar. Hindu god of motion.\\
'''Barry:''' ...he said he was a god.\\
'''Cisco:''' Well, ''that's'' not disturbing.
* MirrorMatch: Whenever he fights Barry. [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome Apparently]] this also happened in a potential future where Barry created a [[CloneArmy whole bunch of time remnants]] to fight him, and Savitar single-handedly killed them all except deliberately leaving one alive (as well as the original Barry) [[StableTimeLoop to become him]]. The fact that he was able to do this is likely a combination of him being a FutureBadass as well as [[TheUnfettered lacking Present!Barry's moral boundaries]].
* MonsterProgenitor: He's the first speedster and among the first metahumans at all (if not the absolute first), as he was granted power by the Philosopher's Stone, the first MassSuperEmpoweringEvent. Except not; his prime self was first turned by the Particle Accelerator explosion, meaning the Stone, made of calcified Speed Force energy, could only have made him ''more'' powerful.
* MyFutureSelfAndMe: 3x20 reveals that Savitar is actually a future time remnant of Barry Allen who has turned evil, so throughout Season Three, Barry has been fighting an evil version of ''himself''.
* MysteriousPast:
** Allegedly he was the first human to become a speedster before he became a god. It gets more muddled when he claims that Barry created him, only to backtrack and claim he created himself, meaning it's possible he's ''not'' the Savitar from legend, [[GodGuise merely someone using his name]] (similar to Hunter Zolomon only pretending to be Jay Garrick). "Into The Speed Force" confirms this to be the case, and "I Know Who You Are" reveals his true identity -- a time remnant of Barry himself. Then "Cause and Effect" has the team theorize that he deliberately created the myth of the God of Speed by means of time travel, meaning he ''is'' that AncientEvil, but the myth itself is inaccurate.
** Even with his true identity revealed, Savitar's past remains mysterious. When and how he obtained his armor, and how his face was disfigured is never revealed. The armor's [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane implied]] mystical aspects only raise further questions as to where he got it. The root of his [[InformedAttribute supposedly]] supercharged speed and how he obtained the Philosopher's Stone are likewise left unrevealed. His descent into villainy is also relegated to exposition from Savitar himself ([[UnreliableExpositor who may or may not be a reliable source]], given his personal biases and SanitySlippage), and the exact details are left to the audience's imagination.
* MySuitIsAlsoSuper: "I Know Who You Are" establishes that the armor is designed to protect him from the dangerous side effects produced by his greater than normal (for a speedster) speed. It can even fight under its own power by his command.
-->'''Savitar:''' I forgot to tell you. My suit's cooler than yours.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Of a sort. In the comics, Savitar's real name was never revealed. ''The Flash'' does give him a name, Barry Allen, but it's only due to being a CompositeCharacter.
* {{Narcissist}}: He's obsessed with his own godhood and he can't stop talking about it, even when Barry groans at him to shut up.
* NothingIsScarier: He claims that being trapped in the Speed Force made him lose his mind several times over. Although it is later shown that being trapped in the Speed Force forces one to continually relive their worst memories, it is still unknown what Savitar saw, though one could presume it was prime Barry watching Iris die.
* NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: H.R. comments that if he protects himself with a suit of armor, he can't be all-powerful like he claims. Indeed, Jesse manages to stab him through a gap in the armor and injure him. Ultimately, for all his claims of godhood, Savitar is nothing but a man. And Iris proves him right when she shoots Savitar dead.
* ObviouslyEvil: Between [[HumanoidAbomination his]] [[TinTyrant appearance]] and [[EvilSoundsDeep voice]], it's pretty easy to tell that he's a villain. His appearance under the armor -- with the black outfit, burned face, and the sadistic grin he shows to his past self -- just further emphasizes how far removed he is from the hero his prime self is.
* OhCrap: Has this moment when he realizes that he failed to kill Iris, putting his existence in jeopardy.
* OminousLatinChanting: His theme most definitely befits his ominous presence. When his true identity is revealed, it's mixed with a DarkReprise of the show's main theme to awesome yet tragic effect.
* OutsideContextProblem: He's the first ''Flash'' BigBad whose powerful to a level that Barry and Team Flash have no hope of countering. When facing Thawne and Zoom, Barry just had to find a way to get faster and close the gap between them, but with Savitar, he's so hopelessly fast it's apparent he has no chance of ever reaching his speed. This holds true even after TheReveal, as Savitar was actually revealed to be a Future Barry Allen, which meant he had knowledge of what Barry had done which is constantly being rewritten whenever Barry and Team Flash try to change history.
* ParadoxPerson: Savitar's entire existence is one of the most paradoxical in the entire Arrowverse. It's revealed that Barry Allen of 2024 created multiple time remnants to aid in the fight against Savitar, with Savitar killing all of them except for one. This surviving time remnant ended up ''becoming'' Savitar himself, going back to torment the present day Barry by attempting to kill Iris and recreate the conditions used to create himself, effectively ensuring his existence via a StableTimeLoop. However, Savitar only came into existence ''after'' the Flashpoint event, as shown by the future newspaper in the Time Vault changing. Needless to say, Savitar's origins are ''very'' complicated.
* PastLifeMemories: He's capable of granting to others their memories of the Flashpoint timeline. He also gains whatever memories Barry creates.
* PlanetLooters: How he spends his time? Travelling throughout the Multiverse with the Philosopher's Stone in hand, seeking out the most powerful speedsters who threaten his power, doing battle with them, then taking over their Earths. Future Barry does not approve, so out of revenge and pride, Savitar decides to attack the present Flash, who is still in his early days before they've even met. At least, that's what the legend of Savitar says; it turns out he has a far more personal vendetta with Barry, being an evil time remnant.
* PhysicalGod: Jay Garrick confirms in ''The Flash'' 3x09 that Savitar WasOnceAMan, but became the God of Motion, meaning he's not exaggerating. Later subverted; after he escapes his prison, he loses his complete dominance over Barry and only seems slightly faster, because he's still just a man; The Fastest Man Alive, yes, but still not an actual god.
* PowerEchoes: Much like the previous two BigBad speedsters. His voice is given a more metallic, gravelly sound compared to Zoom's very deep, Vader-esque voice or Reverse-Flash's whispery one.
* PoweredArmor: His suit isn't just for show; it sports retractable blades, allows him to channel his white lightning into ranged attacks, and helps him keep his immense power from consuming him. It can also move on its own!
* PretenderDiss: He calls H.R. "the fake Wells", presumably due to the latter having pretended to be a scientist.
* PsychologicalHorror: Something that Savitar introduces that was absent from the Reverse-Flash and Zoom is his tendency to use DemonicPossession, invading the minds of his victims and speaking through them.
* {{Pride}}: Future Barry's victory over him leads to Savitar going back in time to attack Barry in the present. Turns out he's also trying to ensure his own corruption.
* RantInducingSlight: His backstory involves him being rejected and ostracized as a disposable clone of Barry, but he manages to retain an air of haughtiness when speaking to Team Flash -- at least until Joe asks "Man, what did we ever do to you?" in ''The Wrath of Savitar''.
-->'''Savitar:''' YOU TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME! I never asked for any of this, Joe! I am only this way because of you! '''All of you!'''
* Really700YearsOld: Implied, given that he's the first speedster in existence. Possibly subverted when he claims that Barry created him, then when it turns out he's just a man under the armor, then fully subverted with the reveal of his true identity.
* RedBaron: The "God of Speed". He's also called the "Dark Lord" by his own cult.
* RedemptionRejection: Barry offers to save Savitar after Iris' death is prevented, and while he seems to entertain the possibility for a brief time, he ultimately rejects the offer when he points out that even if they saved him, forgave him and gave him a place, he can remember all of the happy memories Barry will have with Iris that he himself can't have.
* RetGone:
** Having failed to kill Iris and drive Barry to darkness, Savitar is eventually wiped from existence as a result, though it takes a few hours. He even gets [[RasputinianDeath shot dead by Iris beforehand]].
** Post-Crisis it’s implied that not only was he erased from existence but he never happened at all, with characters having no memories of him. When listing off the previous speedster villains they’ve faced, Savitar is noticeably absent.
* TheReveal: In 3x20, "I Know Who You Are", it's revealed that Savitar is actually a time remnant of Barry Allen, who has gone down a dark and twisted path. He's menacing the present Barry and attempting to kill Iris in order to create a StableTimeLoop and ensure his own existence.
* {{Revenge}}: This seems to be his motive; he wants revenge on Barry for his defeat and imprisonment at Future Barry's hands. However, that's just a cover for his true goal, to ensure that Barry ''becomes'' him.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: He seems to have knowledge of the Flashpoint timeline that was erased. This is because he [[PlaceBeyondTime got trapped inside the Speed Force by Future Barry]], allowing him to observe the events of Flashpoint unaffected. Then it turns out he is a time remnant of Future Barry, so whatever Barry does to try and stop him, Savitar remembers and can easily counter it. On the downside, anything that affects Barry's memory also affects Savitar; when Barry inadvertently gave himself amnesia, Savitar lost his own memories as well, only recovering after Barry did. It occasionally takes a while for Savitar's memories to adjust to changes in the timeline; he only remembers the "Iris" he killed was really H.R. [[OhCrap after he already did it]].
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: Savitar singles out Barry as his most personal ArchEnemy, while his comic counterpart was introduced in the Wally West era. Granted this Savitar does indeed clash with Wally West, but it's a far less personal conflict than it is with Barry. It gets more complicated when it's revealed that Savitar is really the show's version of [[FutureMeScaresMe Future Flash]], who indeed was a personal enemy for Barry Allen in the New 52 comics.
* SadlyMythtaken:
** In the Hindu pantheon, there is a ''Savitr'', but he's a solar god, and has nothing to do with speed or motion.
** Savitar claims he sought godhood because "God feels no pain". Depending on what myth you're looking at, gods are perfectly capable of feeling pain, including Hindu mythology from which he takes his name. It appears that even though he's been around for thousands of years, he has never ''once'' bothered to actually do a bit of research ([[AlternateCharacterInterpretation either that or he's just being plain hypocritical]]).
* SanitySlippage: While we don't actually see it onscreen, he goes from the selfless, heroic, noble Barry Allen that we know, to a sadistic killer with a god complex known as Savitar. He explains it was the result of [[BreakTheBadass anguish at being rejected by Team Flash]] due to [[ExpendableClone his status as a time remnant]], so he resorted to becoming a god to deal with the pain.
* SarcasticConfession: Every time Team Flash asks who he is, he's been answering them flat-out, knowing they won't get it.
-->'''Savitar:''' [[ExactWords I am the Future Flash]]!
* SealedEvilInACan: His physical presence depends on if the box containing the Philosopher's Stone is open. If it's closed, he disappears. Turns out Future Barry trapped him in the Speed Force, so he uses Alchemy as a medium to further his return to the physical world.
* SecondEpisodeIntroduction: Viewers get a glimpse of his arm during TheStinger of the second episode of ''The Flash'' Season Three. Though technically, he's been introduced [[EarlyBirdCameo way before]] the series even aired, in the middle of ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' Season Two.
* SerialEscalation: He's even faster and more monstrous-looking than Zoom, who himself was a big step up from the already creepy Reverse-Flash.
* SerkisFolk: The first speedster who's so inhuman-looking that he's entirely CGI, and played by motion capture stuntman Andre Tricoteux. Subverted as of 3x15, "The Wrath of Savitar", when he finally appears in an actual, physical suit. Further subverted when the man under the armor reveals himself to Killer Frost, then to Barry.
* SlasherSmile: He sports a chilling one when revealing his true identity to Barry.
* SmallNameBigEgo:
** He claims to be Barry's most hated enemy, even more than Thawne or Zoom, while from Barry's perspective he's just the latest in a long line of evil speedsters he has to fight. However, considering there's a timeline where he killed Iris which ''broke'' Barry in a way that not even his parents' deaths did and wrecked Team Flash's lives, he might have a point.
** He claims to be a god when he's actually just a man.
** However, his name isn't that small with TheReveal that he is a time remnant of the Flash himself.
* StableTimeLoop: His entire existence is one giant TemporalParadox where he is responsible for his own creation. He wants to kill Iris in order to ensure it, and since he lived through all of his prime self's attempts to stop it, he knows exactly how to thwart them. After finding out his true identity, Barry and Team Flash's goal is to break the cycle and prevent his creation in the first place.
* SuperEmpowering: As Alchemy, Savitar is capable of granting to people the powers and memories they had in the Flashpoint timeline. Judging by the number of "husks" the police have found, he's done so at least six times thus far, known recipients being Edward Clariss, Frankie Kane, Shade, Wally West, and Clive Yorkin.
* SuperSpeed: He's ''so'' fast that only Barry and cameras can even see the flashes of light that come with his movements. In fact, when seen through his perspective, it appears he is running by tunneling through the Speed Force itself. Sensors pick him up as essentially teleporting all across the city simultaneously, and Barry identifies him as more teleporting than running. Judging from their first battle, Savitar runs so fast that Barry appears to be moving in ''slow motion''. After escaping the Speed Force, his speed has been reduced; while he's still faster than Barry, the latter is able to fight him on a more even footing than before.
* SuperStrength: Thanks to his PoweredArmor, this Savitar is not only faster but also stronger than the average human, able to heft Barry Allen up by the neck using only one arm.
* SwordAndFist: He makes use of bare-handed blows as often as he does his blades.
* SympathyForTheDevil: With the revelation that Savitar is a time remnant of Barry that went off the deep end, Joe appears to be sympathetic to him and tries to remind him that he was his son.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: He's freaking huge and ''will'' deliver snarky one-liners if he has a chance. And underneath the PoweredArmor is a time remnant of the [[FacialHorror once]] TallDarkAndHandsome Barry Allen.
* TakingYouWithMe: After his plans are utterly ruined in "Finish Line", Savitar, knowing that he only has minutes of existence left, promises to kill everyone Barry loves before meeting his fate. Even after Barry stops him, Savitar makes a desperate attempt to kill Barry as revenge for all the suffering he's endured (although he fails in this as well).
* TemporalDuplication: Originates as a time remnant of Barry, created [[StableTimeLoop to fight against Savitar/himself]].
* ThatManIsDead: In a sense. Savitar has completely rejected his previous identity as Barry Allen, and is enraged when Joe calls him by his former name.
* TinTyrant: Savitar's armor invokes this with its menacing appearance.
* TookALevelInBadass: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. Once he escapes the Speed Force in "The Wrath of Savitar", he comes off as only slightly faster than Barry. It appears that being in the Speed Force gave him an immense speed boost. "Into the Speed Force" compounds it by revealing that he's only been pretending to be a god all along.
* TragicVillain: According to his testimony, he's a time remnant of Future Barry who (according to himself) was shunned by Team Flash for not being the "real" Barry. Suffice it to say that he went crazy, decided [[AGodAmI becoming a god]] was the only way to deal with his miserable existence, and went back in time to terrorize his past self.
* {{Troll}}: He pulls off a bit of wordplay just to mess with Barry and Team Flash: They think he's saying "I am the future, Flash" (a boast), when he's really saying "I am the Future Flash" (he is a future time remnant of the Flash). The whole time that Barry's been searching for Savitar's identity, he was overlooking a blatant clue from the man himself. Barry all but kicks himself when he figures out what Savitar really meant.
* TronLines: His metallic armor glows with pale blue accents.
* TwoFaced: Once he steps out of the suit, the right side of his face is shown to carry a huge burn scar.
* UndignifiedDeath: One of the defining aspects of his personality is his god complex, and he's ultimately killed ''by being shot by a mere bullet''.
* UrExample: InUniverse, he is the first person to be granted SuperSpeed. Or at least, the first person we've ''seen'' be granted SuperSpeed, due to being a time remnant of Future Barry Allen.
* VillainBall: He could kill Barry at any time and Barry wouldn't be able to stop him due to Savitar ''massively'' outspeeding Barry, but this was especially shown when he was actually trying to kill Barry in "The Present" and took the time to run his arm-blades against the wall while slowly walking towards Barry and Wally, instead of just killing them outright. May be a result of his enormous pride driving him to toy with his victims. He later explicitly acknowledges that he could easily kill Barry after he escapes his imprisonment in the Speed Force, but he'd rather let Barry live to experience greater suffering when Savitar kills Iris in front of him in the future. The trope is finally subverted when we learn that he is a time remnant of Future Barry, so he can't risk killing himself just yet.
* VillainsNeverLie: He's been telling his SecretIdentity every time Team Flash asks it (see ExactWords above).
-->'''Savitar:''' I am the Future Flash!
* VillainousBreakdown: When he realizes that H.R. sacrificed himself in place of Iris, thus preventing the future where Savitar comes to be, Savitar loses it, spending the rest of the Season Three finale desperately trying to complete his plan before he's {{Ret Gone}}d out of existence. It reaches its peak when Team Flash foils this plan and Barry destroys his armor, after which Savitar is reduced to screaming in impotent rage as he makes a final, desperate attempt to kill Barry before being gunned down by Iris.
* VisionaryVillain: His cult believes he'll lead them all to a better world. In truth, his only real vision is to make himself a god who will rule over all of time; everyone is just a pawn in his game.
* WasOnceAMan: He used to be a normal man, but became the first speedster, and eventually this HumanoidAbomination. "Into the Speed Force" reveals he's still very much a man, although "I Know Who You Are" reveals he's a time remnant of the Fastest Man Alive.
* WeaksauceWeakness: The Philosopher's Stone. It's the source of his powers, but it's also his only link to the physical world. Put the stone in the casket and he's gone. He overcomes this when Wally throws the last piece of the stone into the Speed Force where Savitar is imprisoned, allowing him to escape.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: According to [[UnreliableNarrator him]], the entirety of Future Team Flash shunned him after he and Barry's other time remnants failed to stop Savitar, calling him a "fake Barry" and rejecting him as part of their group. This [[DespairEventHorizon broke him]] and led him to turn to villainy to begin with.
* WickedPretentious: He renamed himself after a Hindu god and references the myth of Atlas, but he doesn't show anything more than a passing knowledge of the stories and more than likely just brought them up [[RuleOfCool to sound cool]].
* WouldHitAGirl: He killed Iris in a possible future and has a brief skirmish with Jesse Quick.
* YouHaveFailedMe: He doesn't take it kindly when his minions fail. The Rival finds this out the ''very'' hard way.
* YourSizeMayVary: In his initial appearances, he utterly ''towered'' over Barry. During "The Wrath of Savitar", he seems almost the same size during some scenes. His being portrayed by an actor (albeit a 6'11 one) in a suit now instead of being purely CGI probably contributes to that. Then it turns out that he's the same height as Barry underneath the futuristic armor.
* YouWillNotEvadeMe: He does this to Jay Garrick for trying to escape the NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Savitar's in the process of giving him.

to:

* AccentRelapse: A variation. Savitar generally speaks in a formal, stilted manner, using metaphors as if he's a sage. This stops when he reveals himself to be Barry's time remnant, and it stays that way even when he's back inside his suit.
* AchillesHeel:
** Anything that affects the present-day Barry can threaten Savitar's health and existence; Barry being rendered amnesiac left Savitar without his own memories, and he was completely incapacitated until Barry's memories were restored. In the same vein, Savitar and his minions can't simply kill Barry, as that would also erase Savitar from existence.
** The murder of Iris is the lynchpin of Savitar's existence; preventing it dooms Savitar to a fate of being {{Retgone}}d out of existence.
* AdaptationalAbomination: Subverted. He seemed like this at first, going from a really powerful but otherwise mortal speedster, to a PhysicalGod who WasOnceAMan. It turns out he merely has a GodGuise and is otherwise just as mortal as Barry Allen is given he is his rogue time remnant.
* AdaptationalBadass: Savitar is treated as a far more serious threat in the show than he was in the comics, with his alleged status as a PhysicalGod and being so fast he made standard speedsters look like normal people. Even when he is BroughtDownToBadass after exiting the Speed Force and TheReveal of his true identity, he still poses far more danger than comics Savitar. Team Flash was constantly faced with the problem of Savitar knowing exactly what would happen as he had already lived it, which made it extremely hard to defeat him.
* AdaptationalCurves: Inverted. Comics Savitar was absolutely ripped and his costume [[WalkingShirtlessScene showed it all off]]. The show's version of Savitar is revealed to be a time remnant of Barry Allen, so he possesses the same slender GeekPhysique underneath his armor.
* AdaptationalModesty: He is not the shirtless man of the comics, but dresses modestly in a black jacket and trousers while clad in his powered armor. He only appears shirtless once, and in a short flashback.
* AdaptationalNationality: Savitar was from an unnamed Eastern European country in the comics, while here he's American since his real identity is Barry Allen.
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: AdaptationOriginConnection: Unlike his ~~comics~~ comic counterpart, ~~whose main gimmick~~ Godspeed is a StarterVillain for XS.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the comics, Godspeed was ~~being able~~ a VigilanteMan who wanted to ~~[[HealingFactor use the]] [[BlownAcrossTheRoom Speed Force]] [[ImmuneToBullets in unorthodox ways]], this Savitar is~~ avenge his dead brother and became a more of violent foil to The Flash. Here, there is no indication he has any noble intentions from the start.
* AdaptationalWimp:
** He is a ~~LightningBruiser~~ very formidable speedster in the comics who ~~overwhelms his opponents with sheer power. While no less dangerous,~~ poses a huge threat. Here he's ~~much less versatile. He also displays additional powers thanks~~ reduced to a StarterVillain for XS and gets defeated by her when she has no experience being a speedster.
** Played with in Season Six. He's become more troublesome as he sends Fake Godspeeds in his place, with the fifth one proving to be faster than Barry is at the time and necessitates assistance from Pied Piper.
* AdaptedOut: He isn't shown to possess his comic counterpart's ability to sever a speedster's connection to the ~~Philosopher's Stone, being capable of DemonicPossession~~ Speed Force.
* ArcVillain: He has his own mini-arc in Season Six where he sends fake Godspeeds back to the present while the real Godspeed remains at large.
* AscendedExtra: He first seemed like a throwaway villain for Nora, but then ended up returning as an ArcVillain in Season Six.
* BigBadEnsemble: He is an additional threat to Team Flash throughout Season Six, alongside Bloodwork, the Black Hole Organization, and ~~{{telepathy}}.~~
Eva [=McCulloch=].
* ~~AdaptationalUgliness:~~ BroughtDownToNormal: Since his powers came entirely from Velocity-9, he only has his speed for as long as it is active. He gets stopped when Nora uses the Central City Citizen building's satellites to neutralize the drug.
* CelebrityParadox:
** The ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' film series was mentioned by Cisco during ''The Flash'' Season 1. His ~~comics counterpart~~ voice actor plays a prominent antagonist there.
** The ''Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon'' was ~~a WalkingShirtlessScene covered in muscles. This Savitar spends most of his time wrapped in armor, and he's later shown~~ confirmed to ~~have burns on his face and a discolored eye. This trope also applies once he is revealed to be Future Flash, who~~ exist in the ~~comics was a well-built, square-jawed man with a few wrinkles on his face at worst, and who had an ethereal and noble appearance due to~~ Arrowverse during ''The Flash'' Season 2. His voice actor also voices the ~~blue light radiating from his suit. Here, he's a grimy, slight figure with~~ male lead in the ~~aforementioned facial damage.~~''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'' franchise.
* AdaptationalVillainy: ** The ~~Future Flash from~~ ''Franchise/LawAndOrder'' series was mentioned during'' The Flash'' Season 2. His voice actor was a long-running main cast member in ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit''.
** Felicity mentions ''Series/MrRobot'' during ''Arrow'' Season 7. His voice actor plays the ~~New 52 comics underwent SanitySlippage and had somewhat nobler intentions, wishing to correct his own mistakes which led to~~ BigBad of the ~~death of Wally West. The Arrowverse version is much more pettier and selfish, doing many things ForTheEvulz, as well as killing Iris only~~ show.
** B.D. Wong plays Hugo Strange in ''Series/{{Gotham}}'', a series heavily based on the Batman mythos; Batman exists on Earth-1.
* CollectiveIdentity: In Season Six, he sends several fake Godspeeds back in time to secure his ''own'' existence by making sure Barry will eventually become him.
* AdaptationDyeJob: The comics' Savitar had blue-black hair and white lightning. This Savitar has brown hair and yellow lightning that only looks white cause chaos for Team Flash, while the real one is still at large.
* CompositeCharacter: With Nora following in her father's footsteps, he's in a rough approximate for all three of his armor.
* AdaptationOriginConnection: Comics Savitar had no connection to the Philosopher's Stone or Dr. Alchemy. He was just a normal human pilot who was in an accident where he got struck by lightning and gained speed. It turns out this ''isn't'' the comics Savitar, just an insane time remnant using the name of the Hindu god to create a myth [[StableTimeLoop that he heard about earlier in his life]]. This also extends to Future Flash who had nothing to do with Alchemy either.
* AffablyEvil: When speedster enemies;
** Like Thawne, he's ~~not hamming it up, he manages to be~~ a ~~bit friendly, like a king to his subjects. When talking to Wally West through Alchemy, he is disconcertingly warm and friendly, almost fatherly. Being a corrupted~~ speedster from the future version of Barry Allen, who's friendly by default, will probably do that for you.
* AgeLift: The Future Flash in and uses the ~~comics was about middle-aged, as indicated by his being an older version of an adult Barry Allen from two decades into~~ Reverse-Flash hand-stab which is the ~~future. The one in~~ SignatureMove of Thawne.
** Like Zoom, he uses Velocity 9 and wishes to steal the ~~show still seems to be in his twenties.~~
Flash's speed.
** ~~He's actually~~ Like Savitar, he has a shining suit, white lightning, and calls himself the "God of Speed".
* ContinuitySnarl: Team Flash's meddling with time and Crisis have changed him up quite a bit older. Chronologically Savitar is a time remnant created around 2020/2021 when Barry would around his early 30s. His appearance can largely be explained by an actor (who is already arguably OlderThanTheyLook) playing an older version of himself.and made him more dangerous over time.
* AlasPoorVillain: In spite of his actions, even Barry felt sorry for him.
* AlternateSelf: To our Barry, considering he EvilIsHammy: Particularly in season six. Creator/BDWong is clearly having a ~~time remnant of~~ blast playing a bad guy.
* FantasticDrug: Decades after Zoom and Trajectory used the Barry from a possible future.
* AmbiguousSituation: Was he genuinely interested in redemption in the Season Three finale, or just biding his time to let his plan be completed? He seems sincere while talking to Barry and Iris, but when asked about his time at STAR Labs by Killer Frost, Savitar claims that it went as he expected.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: While he is humanoid, it was unclear what entity he was, as his physical characteristics are far from any human being. It seemed like he WasOnceAMan, but became the first to gain SuperSpeed, subsequently becoming a god of motion. Then it's revealed that he actually still ''is'' a man (or rather a metahuman) under that armor, not a god at all.
* AncientEvil: The first man granted with SuperSpeed who becomes an evil HumanoidAbomination that is TheDreaded to many (if not all) speedsters across TheMultiverse. At least, that's what the legend of Savitar says, but he is actually from the ''future''; specifically, Velocity 9 serum, he's '''a future time remnant of Barry Allen'''.
* AnimatedArmor: As revealed in "[[Recap/TheFlash2014S3E21CauseAndEffect Cause and Effect]]", his suit can fight on its own, though it only moves at SuperSpeed when he's inside it.
* ArchEnemy: Savitar considers Barry shown to be ~~his in no small part due to Barry's future self locking him inside~~ the Speed Force, which he says almost made him lose his mind multiple times. Savitar also seems to blame Barry for turning him into a speedster in the first place and believes that he doesn't deserve his happy life. Then it's revealed Savitar was actually created by the abuse of time remnants, one of which turned to the dark side. One can't get [[HisOwnWorstEnemy more personal as an enemy than himself]].
-->'''Savitar:''' You have everything, and deserve '''none''' of it!
* ArmoredVillainsUnarmoredHeroes: His heavy armor contrasts Barry's friction-resistant suit, but it's not invincible and it can be broken. "Into The Speed Force" reveals that it's also a means to help with his GodGuise.
* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: This was Savitar's ultimate/secondary plan even if his first plan of killing Iris and completing the StableTimeLoop were to fail. He has Cisco modify the Speed Force bazooka into an interdimensional quantum splicer and have it fired at Savitar in close proximity to a portal. The result would be that Savitar would be fragmented across space and time, essentially [[TheOmnipresent existing every at once]] as a true [[CompleteImmortality immortal]] [[PhysicalGod God]]. Though Cisco of course doesn't allow this and sabotaged the device to keep Savitar anchored to the present.
* BadassBoast: He ''loves'' making these, with his AGodAmI speeches, claiming that he "rules" the Speed Force and that other speedsters are nothing before him.
* BadBoss: He's willing to execute his underlings when they fail him. However, this only extends to the metas actually working for him.
* BatmanGambit: Being stuck inside the Speed Force allowed Savitar to witness Wally's transformation into Kid Flash in the Flashpoint timeline, and thus, he came up with the idea to turn Wally into Kid Flash in the current timeline. Afterward, he tormented Wally, telling him [[IShallTauntYou that he would never be fast enough to stop him]], all to ensure that Wally would create a portal to the Speed Force and throw the last piece of the Philosopher's Stone into it, which would allow Savitar to swap places with him and be free once more.
* BeenThereShapedHistory: It was Savitar who went back in time and created the speedster legend of Savitar, the God of Speed, to begin with.
* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: Barry Allen, the kind, humble, seemingly incorruptible hero, spawned a cruel, manipulative, ruthless third villain consumed by a god complex.
* BerserkButton: He hates being called Barry Allen, because that's not who he is.
* BigBad: Of ''The Flash'' Season Three. Despite it initially seeming like he would form a BigBadDuumvirate with Dr. Alchemy as heads of his cult, Alchemy is only his vessel. This is even lampshaded by Cisco, when calling Dr. Alchemy "the Big Bad's little bad".
* BigBadSlippage: Barry spends the whole of Season Three trying to ~~save Team Flash from Savitar, only to realize that Savitar is a (possible) future version of himself.~~
use it.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: He sports a retractable blade on each of his gauntlets. While they're formidable, they can still be broken off with, say, a vibrating hand.
* BondVillainStupidity:
** Savitar couldn't resist [[EvilGloating gloating]] to Team Flash about how he inherits Barry's ''every'' memory, by having Killer Frost SpeakInUnison to Barry. This is what tips off Team Flash on how to defeat him, by having present Barry LockedOutOfTheLoop so that Savitar is unable to gain any memories. H.R. exploits this by performing a swap with Iris AGodAmI: Goes without Barry or Savitar's knowledge.
** Relying on Cisco to complete the device he needs for his ascension to godhood was an ''astoundingly'' stupid idea. The end result? Jay is freed from the Speed Force, and Savitar's plans are completely ruined. This is especially egregious saying since he knew Prime Barry worked with Cisco for years, and saw Cisco pull the same kind of fast one on their other foes many times over.
* BreakThemByTalking: Outside of being an immense physical threat, one of Savitar's most commendable abilities is his power to completely terrify and shatter his enemies simply using words. He was able to goad Wally into carrying out his will, using constant taunts, which ended in Wally throwing a piece of the Philosopher Stone into the Speed Force and being sucked in named himself while Savitar was released.
* BroughtDownToBadass: Being trapped inside the Speed Force allows Savitar to run so fast that it looks like he's teleporting and Barry has no hope of keeping up. However, once he manages to escape, he seems to drop to being a very powerful speedster, still faster then Barry, but not nearly as godlike as he was before, nor as invulnerable. This is because he's not a god at all but a speedster, one of the most high-profile speedsters ever, but still no god.
* CainAndAbel: As Barry, he was Wally's foster brother. As Godspeed. Like Savitar, he not only sealed Wally in the Speed Force, but he cripples him and leaves him catatonic in a possible future.
* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: He had many chances to kill Barry during their fights, but never did so. Eventually, it's revealed he ''can't''; since he's an future time remnant, killing his younger prime self would mean erasing too calls himself ~~from existence. He~~ a "God of Speed".
* GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: Invoked. His suit is probably the best example of this trope out of all ''The Flash'' {{Big Bad}}s, as letting Barry live is the ''only'' way he can secure his own existence. Though when Barry directly suggests the possibility of committing suicide, white and yellow, and like Savitar ~~reminds him that's what Eddie Thawne did to ensure the Reverse-Flash's non-existence, and Eobard Thawne managed to get back ''anyway''... not that Savitar~~ before him, he calls himself is particularly interested in TemptingFate.
* CastAsAMask: As with Creator/TonyTodd voicing Zoom, Creator/TobinBell voices Savitar to help hide his true identity.
* CatchPhrase "Bow to your god!" and "I am the future, Flash." Except he's ''actually'' saying, "I am the Future Flash.a "god of speed."
* ChestInsignia: [[FreezeFrameBonus It's hard to make out at first]], but he sports a large lightning bolt on his chest, reversed from Barry's like with the Reverse-Flash and Zoom, but without a circle behind it.
* ChewingTheScenery: Once his true identity is outed, Creator/GrantGustin definitely [[EvilIsHammy hams it up]] in his portrayal of the maniacal Savitar.
* CloningBlues: Savitar reveals that he was one of many time remnants created by Future Barry to fight Savitar. He was the only one to survive, but subsequently got rejected by Barry and the rest of Team Flash. This absolutely broke him, leading to his StartOfDarkness and becoming Savitar himself.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Normal speedsters have yellow, orange, or red lightning. Speedsters overdosing on Velocity-9 have blue lightning. Savitar's is pure white, likely because of his suit of armor. "Cause and Effect" reveals that when he's running around outside of it, he has the same golden lightning as Barry, due to being his own time remnant.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Generally defied in that he always calls himself Savitar, but he receives a civilian name that he didn't have in the comics, Barry Allen, since he's also the show's version of Future Flash. However, he only uses that codename when trolling the heroes with the line "I am the future, Flash."
* ComboPlatterPowers: LightIsNotGood: He's the fastest speedster and has the standard speedster powerset and [[LogicalWeakness weakness to cold]], but he also has a whole plethora of unusual abilities and traits, such as his [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld millennia-long lifespan]], his [[TinTyrant armored skin]] and [[BladeBelowTheShoulder weapons]], his [[InvisibleToNormals invisibility to non-speedsters]], the ability to [[DemonicPossession possess]] a human as Dr. Alchemy to lead his acolytes, the ability to [[SuperEmpowering metamorph]] humans who have powers in the Flashpoint timeline by encasing them in a cocoon, and the ability to manipulate people by appearing as ghosts of their loved ones (much like [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer The First Evil]][[note]]it is known that showrunners Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg are fans of ''Buffy'' and thus may have been directly influenced by this idea[[/note]]).
* CompositeCharacter: His title and status as an extremely powerful leader of a Speed {{Cult}} belong to an otherwise nameless East European speedster. Also much like comics Savitar, Arrowverse Savitar was trapped in the Speed Force by a Flash (though in the comics, it was Wally). However, his true identity as an [[FutureBadass alternate future version]] of Barry Allen who went down a dark path makes him one to the New 52 Future Flash, who similarly bears pale blue TronLines on his costume. It's later clarified that he is a time remnant of the original Future Flash, who has a much smaller role in the show. He also draws traits from multiple speedsters and characters from the comics.
** His status as the true intelligence and voice behind Alchemy makes him analogous to Alvin Desmond, the SplitPersonality that drove the original Dr. Alchemy, Albert Desmond, to villainy.
** The white lightning produced as he runs, as well as his tendency to call himself himself "the God of Speed", most likely reference Godspeed, who has a white suit.
** His suit being made from some kind of metal comes from the New 52 Reverse-Flash, Daniel West.
** He seeks vengeance against Barry for something his future self did to him, much like this continuity's version of Eobard Thawne. He's even shown killing Iris in one timeline, much like the comic version of Thawne.
** His origin relies on a StableTimeLoop involving travelling back at the height of his power to kill a loved one to ensure his existence in the first place, rather closely mirroring time travel villain Monarch's original incarnation in ComicBook/Armageddon2001.
** Finally, some of his comments in "The Wrath of Savitar" indicate that he's DrivenByEnvy of Barry's loved ones, similar to Cobalt Blue.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist:
** Visually, he contrasts the yellow and black suit worn by the Reverse-Flash and the black suits worn by Zoom and the Rival by wearing sharp silver armor.
** In terms of his goals, he doesn't fake being a mentor because he has no interest in using or stealing the Flash's speed, wanting only to kill him for what his future self did to him. Furthermore, he instead had an interest in allowing Wally West to become faster, so that Wally could take his place in the Speed Force and he could be freed. Although it turns out he did have plans for Barry after all, with the revelation that Savitar is actually a time remnant of Barry, his intentions are to corrupt Barry and break his spirit in order to lead to Savitar's creation to begin with.
** He also has powers aside from speed, being capable of harnessing the Philosopher's Stone to carry out DemonicPossession and {{Telepathy}}, something Reverse-Flash and Zoom never had. While Reverse-Flash used tachyons and Zoom abused Velocity-9, Savitar's suit allows him to harness his vast speed.
** While Eobard Thawne is the Reverse-Flash and Hunter Zolomon could be seen as a Reverse-Barry, Savitar being a time remnant from the future is a reverse of both sides of the hero.
** Like Reverse-Flash and Zoom, he adopts identities to hide who he really is. Unlike his predecessors who pretended to be heroes who mentored Barry, Savitar pretended to be a god to actively terrorize his younger self. Furthermore, while all three were once part of Team Flash, while the others were EvilAllAlong, Savitar was once a genuine hero who was DrivenToVillainy.
** While he does use impersonations, they have a more temporary effect of luring others into traps rather than long-term deception and gaining of trust like Thawne and Zolomon did.
** Unlike Thawne, who faked being a widower, and unlike Zoom, who had an unhealthy obsession with Caitlin, Savitar was once genuinely in love with Iris.
* TheCorrupter:
** His specialty. Edward Clariss and Frankie Kane, two of his minions seen thus far, were perfectly normal people before Savitar, through Alchemy, granted them their Flashpoint powers and memories, subsequently driving both to villainy. "Shade" shows that the corruption works like a drug -- the victim is overcome with a desire to find Alchemy and will let nothing stand in their way.
** He turned Julian Albert Desmond into Dr. Alchemy against his will.
** He encourages Killer Frost to give in to her evil side, seeking to kill Caitlin Snow for good.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: He claims Barry created him, but then backtracks when Barry presses him for more details -- which suggests that, like Thawne, his feud with Barry is a result of EvilIsPetty, but his huge ego won't let him admit it to Barry's face. The truth is that he ''is'' (a time remnant of) Barry, making this Savitar by definition a creation of Barry's... if not exactly the ''current'' Barry. In fact, Savitar is trying to create ''himself'' from our Barry via a StableTimeLoop.
* CurbStompBattle: When Barry was defeated by Zoom or the Reverse-Flash, there was always the sense that he was ''almost'' as fast as them. Even when they outclassed him, he could eventually catch up. Savitar is so fast that he fights other speedsters like speedsters fight normal people -- at least until he leaves the Speed Force, after which he and Barry are on more equal footing.
* CynicismCatalyst: The death of Iris West drove Future Barry off the deep end, and he pushed everyone else away in his zeal to defeat Savitar. Eventually, thanks to his abuse of time remnants, ''two'' Barry Allens existed; while one stood a chance of healing, the other was so consumed by his darkness that he ''became'' Savitar, and was willing to recreate the very tragedy that caused him to fall so far into despair just to ensure his existence as Savitar remained intact.
* DarkIsEvil: His armor is dark silver. And underneath it, [[EvilWearsBlack he wears all-black civilian clothes]].
* DarkReprise: Twice.
** When he reveals himself to be Future Flash, a version of the show's main theme plays alongside his usual OminousLatinChanting theme.
** When describing his plans to become a GodEmperor, he quotes the line "Every hour, every minute" from ''Running Home To You''.
* DarthVaderClone: He is a FallenHero with a set of PoweredArmor, burn injuries, and a [[EvilSoundsDeep deep voice]].
* DeadPersonImpersonation: He disguises as Dante or Francine to trick people close to them into doing something beneficial for them with the Philosopher' Stone.
* DeaderThanDead: He's shot by Iris and subject to a RetGone when the time loop that sustains his existence is broken.
* DeadpanSnarker: He has a lot of moments, first shown when talking to Magenta through Alchemy. He also snarks a lot outside of his suit at both Team Flash and Killer Frost.
** From "Cause and Effect":
-->'''Barry:''' You're not so scary without your armor.\\
'''Savitar:''' What can I say? I outgrew red.
** It's hard to tell if he's genuine, but he really digs into Barry at his offer to save Savitar's life.
-->'''Savitar:''' So how's this gonna work? Where will I live?\\
'''Barry:''' What do you mean?\\
'''Savitar:''' Are Wally and I gonna be bunkmates? Am I supposed to rejoin Team Flash, fight some Rogues? What kind of life were you thinking I'd lead?\\
'''Barry:''' I hadn't gotten that far yet.\\
'''Savitar:''' How would we explain me at the wedding? And do I sit bride-side or groom-side?
* DeathByAdaptation: PlayedWith. Comics Savitar is pretty much in line with the show, meeting his demise not too long after he exits the Speed Force. However, comics Future Flash survived the war with the heroes and replaced the past Barry, while his Arrowverse counterpart is erased from existence at the end of the season.
* DeathByIrony: Savitar, whose plan to become a god depended on killing Iris, is ultimately killed ''by'' Iris in the most mundane of ways. It also applies to his posterior erasure from existence: he tricked H.R. with an impersonation, and his transformation into a paradox was negated by an impersonation performed by H.R..
* DecompositeCharacter: Together, Savitar and the Barry Allen of 2024 take aspects of the comic's Future Flash. The latter has the character's depression and eventual return to heroism, while Savtar takes a version of the black-and-blue costume, the FaceHeelTurn, and the murderous nature. Both characters are called "Future Flash" at different points in the story.
* DemonicPossession: Alchemy acts as his avatar; Savitar uses whoever possesses the Philosopher's Stone as his vessel to act out his will.
* DimensionalTraveler: Apparently, he can quite easily hop back and forth in any part of TheMultiverse.
* DoNotCallMePaul: Addressing him by his given name will instantly agitate him.
* DramaticIrony: Earlier in the season, Barry hates that Julian has more authority over him and that they share the same lab. During that time, Julian is TheDragon for Savitar via DemonicPossession.
* DrivenByEnvy: In "The Wrath of Savitar", he does a lot of ranting about how Barry has everything and deserves none of it -- remarkable that a self-proclaimed god would be jealous of a mortal, even a super-powered one.
* DrivenToVillainy: According to him, he is one of Barry's time remnants who was rejected by his loved ones as a "failed" and "expendable" aberration. Evidently, he went insane later down the line, travelled into the distant past and became the Savitar of legend, intent on recreating the tragedy that defined his life to ensure his own existence.
* DrunkOnTheDarkSide: Savitar quite evidently basks in his immeasurable speed, flaunting around his [[AGodAmI self-claimed status as a god]]. The smugness he displays after he steps out of his suit and reveals himself further exemplifies this.
* EarlyBirdCameo: His voice is first heard in TheStinger of ''The Flash'' 3x01, while his arm makes an appearance in TheStinger of 3x02, but he isn't officially introduced until the end of 3x06. And since he is a time remnant of Barry Allen, he was technically introduced during ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' Season Two.
* EnemyWithout: He's revealed to be a time remnant created to fight Savitar who wound up surviving, then being just as broken by Iris dying as the original Barry, then being further broken by Team STAR Labs (with the exception of Caitlin/Killer Frost) rejecting him. So he is indeed what Barry would become if he lost his grip on all his humanity.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: As Barry recounting his favorite memory of his mother and father causes a tear to fall out, it shows that Savitar still loves his parents.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Played with. Judging by his apology to Iris in 3x15, Savitar still holds some fondness for her, but not enough to compromise his own existence.
* EvilCounterpart: To Julian Albert Desmond. Both are connected to the Philosopher's Stone and both started out as simple forensics scientists, but Julian is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who wants to atone for his actions as Alchemy while Savitar puts himself above all else. While Julian does everything he can to save Caitlin from her Killer Frost persona especially after he plays a role in her being overwhelmed by it, Savitar encourages her to embrace her inner darkness.
* EvilFormerFriend: Since he is revealed to be Future Barry Allen, he is this to Team Flash.
* EvilGloating: Most of his dialogue consists of him gloating about [[AGodAmI his godhood]] and how he's going to kill Barry and his loved ones.
* EvilIsBigger: He's ''huge'', easily towering over Barry and the other main characters. When he's given a practical effects appearance, he's played by 6'11" actor Andre Tricoteux. Beneath the armor, however, he is ''exactly'' as tall as Barry.
* EvilIsHammy: One of the hammiest {{Big Bad}}s, what with his constant proclamations of [[AGodAmI his godly status]]. It even carries over to after his reveal where he acts immensely smug towards Barry and Team Flash.
* EvilMakesYouUgly: A time remnant of the once dashing, dorky Barry Allen now [[TwoFaced bears a large burn scar]] over the right side of his face.
* EvilMentor: He cripples Wally in a possible future and even had a skirmish with Jesse Quick.
* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice is low and gravelly, downright metallic compared to Zoom's utterly demonic voice. Averted with his true voice, which sounds just like Barry's, only colder and darker.
* EvilSoundsRaspy: Courtesy of Creator/TobinBell. When he's speaking through someone else as Alchemy, it lacks the metallic echo. His actual voice is the same as Barry's, but does sound a bit rougher.
* EvilTwin: He counts since he is a very malevolent time remnant.
* EvilWearsBlack: He wears an all-black outfit underneath his PoweredArmor. In his own words, he outgrew red.
* ExactWords:
** When asked who he is, Savitar states "I am the future, Flash." But it turns out he was actually saying "I am the ''Future Flash''." He seemed to know the others would be confused by his odd usage of grammar, and did this just to further mess with them.
** He lampshades it once Barry finally figures it out and confronts him. "Like I told you from the beginning... ''I'' am the Future Flash."
* ExpendableClone: He's one of several time remnants Future Barry created to try and stop on Savitar. He's also the only survivor, [[DeconstructedTrope and is less than happy with being treated as expendable]].
* EyeScream: Subtly done. The eye on [[TwoFaced the burned right side of his face]] is discolored from dark green to pale blue.
* FacialHorror: The right side of his face is heavily burned.
* FallenHero: He was a time remnant of the heroic Barry Allen, before he went down a dark, corrupt path and became the villainous Savitar.
* FateWorseThanDeath: He considers his time stuck inside the Speed Force to be this. Given that Wally and Jay had to relive their worst moment, this is a reasonable statement.
* {{Foil}}:
** While the Rival was a minion of Dr. Alchemy and Season Three's StarterVillain, Savitar is a KnightOfCerebus and Alchemy's master, the true BigBad of the season.
** While the Reverse-Flash was an evil speedster ~~from~~ who leaves behind white lightning.
* NormalFishInATinyPond: Godspeed can hardly hold a candle to the future who killed one of Barry's loved ones in the past, Savitar is an evil speedster from the past (being thousands of years old) who may kill one of Barry's loved ones in the future. Likewise, the two wish to kill Barry but can't; whereas Thawne couldn't kill Barry since their fates were linked and he needed Barry's speed in order to return home, Savitar won't kill Barry because he wants to make him suffer first by murdering Iris in front of him. Then we learn that he's ''not'' from the distant past but rather the near future, and he wants Barry to be so destroyed through Iris' death, which will in turn allow Savitar to be created via Barry's abuse of time remnants. He also can't kill Barry either since he literally ''is'' a time remnant of Barry from the future.
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** In the first episode of Season Three, Eobard Thawne mocked Barry with the infamous line: "NOW WHO'S THE VILLAIN, FLASH?!"
** In "The Wrath of Savitar", Savitar, speaking through Julian, tells Barry "[[MyFutureSelfAndMe From my perspective,]] ''you're'' the BigBad."
** Not to mention how personal he made his feud with Barry and friends sound, to back it up.
** Along with:
*** "Only one of us could live." -- Barry cannot be happy and still create Savitar, so Savitar "kills" him by killing his happiness.
*** "You thought Thawne and Zoom were your greatest enemies, but it's me. It's always been me." -- Even without future interference, Barry is the cause of 90% of his own problems. Even now, Barry has some serious self-loathing issues.
*** "You're there when I become who I am." -- The moment Iris dies is the moment that sets Barry on the path to becoming Savitar.
*** "I created myself." -- Savitar causes the trauma that leads Barry to essentially become him.
*** "Only I can bring out my greatness." -- Only Savitar can turn Barry into what he is in the future.
*** "Iris... I'm sorry that you have to die. But it's you, or me." -- If Iris survives, Barry is not broken enough to become Savitar, and Savitar is erased from existence.
** His CatchPhrase -- "I am the Future Flash!" -- is a straight-up SarcasticConfession.
* FragileSpeedster: Although he easily overwhelmed Barry with his impossible speed in their first fight, Caitlin was able to immobilize him with one ice blast before he escaped. He proves even worse at taking hits without his armor. Barry is able to incapacitate him with an uppercut after he steps out of his armor, and Iris actually kills him with a single bullet.
* FreudianExcuse: He was created as an expendable time remnant and felt rejected by Barry and his friends. This hurt him so deeply that he decided to abandon all human emotions and become a god.
* FutureBadass: Savitar is revealed to be from the future and the fastest speedster thus far shown. Then he's revealed to be a future time remnant of Barry himself, meaning Barry really ''does'' become the Fastest Man Alive.
* FutureMeScaresMe: Barry finds out that Savitar is really a time remnant from the future, gone down a dark path. Even before this revelation, Barry was pretty terrified by the prospect of Savitar killing Iris, but this revelation makes it far, far worse.
* GeniusBruiser: Adding on to his past self being a BadassBookworm, Savitar has traversed the time stream and unlocked many secrets likes of the Speed Force, giving him the knowledge to match his immense physical power.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: The eyes of his armor glow bright, pale blue.
* AGodAmI: He claims to be the God of Speed. Considering he's named after the Hindu god of motion (as H.R. notes), he may not be exaggerating. Turns out it's a classic case of megalomania; he's the first speedster who ever existed who has merely convinced others he's a god. His impossibly fast speeds are also no longer present once he is freed from the Speed Force. Then we learn that he's a time remnant of the first speedster known on Earth-1.
* GodhoodSeeker: Although in the present day he already calls himself one, when his identity is revealed he talks about how he realized the solution to his problems was to become a god.
* GodGuise: ''The Flash'' 3x16, "Into The Speed Force", reveals he's not a god, just a man under that armor. 3x20, "I Know Who You Are", [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin fittingly]] reveals which man. 3x21, "Cause and Effect", reveals why he even tried. Under the rationale that "God feels no pain", he, a FallenHero, decided to become one himself.
* GodEmperor: In addition to being the God of Speed, he claims he "rules" the Speed Force. When his attempt to secure his own existence by killing Iris is thwarted, he tries to splice himself throughout all of time, meaning he really ''will'' rule. It doesn't work out for him.
* GoodColorsEvilColors: His armor is usually blue, but when Barry kicks Savitar out of his own armor and takes control, the blue TronLines turn red.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: The right half of his face is heavily scarred.
* HaveWeMetYet: Future Barry defeated him at some point, so he wants his revenge on our Barry. Then it turns out he's a time remnant ''of'' Future Barry and is trying to ensure his own corruption.
* HeavenlyBlue: Invoked. His primary color is blue, and he declares himself to be a god.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: He has become as manipulative as Eobard Thawne and as sadistic as (Earth-2) Hunter Zolomon, who were the respective {{Big Bad}}s of the first two seasons.
* HiddenAgendaVillain: While we know that he wants revenge for something Barry ''will'' do to him (much like the Reverse-Flash) and that he wants to challenge the most powerful speedsters across the multiverse, at 60% of the way through the season, we still have no idea why he's recreating the metahumans from the Flashpoint timeline. Presumably, he wanted them to be his minions, and WordOfGod is that he has a specific reason for turning Caitlin into Killer Frost and getting her on his side. We finally learn what it is in 3x23, "Finish Line" -- so she can help him splice himself throughout time and stop the Black Flash from getting in the way.
* HisOwnWorstEnemy: It's been repeatedly stated that Barry himself is his own worst enemy, not whoever or whatever he faces. This is taken to new heights with the reveal of Savitar being an evil time remnant of him -- for all his claims of godhood, Savitar hating his past prime self so much that he's willing to recreate the very tragedy that drove him to his own creation takes some serious internalized self-hatred to happen.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Impersonating the still- heroic Barry contributed to his downfall. It motivated H.R. to rescue Iris, impersonate her and take her place to die in order to atone for revealing Savitar where Iris was. That change makes Savitar a paradox and eventually erases him.
* HumanAllAlong: He was no god. Just an evil clone of Barry Allen.
* HumanoidAbomination: He looks even ''less'' human than Zoom. He looks more like a semi-organic robot than a person. However, it's revealed to be a disguise to make him look more intimidating and to keep his incredibly high speed under control.
* IAmTheNoun: He refers to himself as the future. Or rather, the Future ''Flash''.
* IHatePastMe: He's revealed to be a future time remnant of Barry Allen who ''despises'' his past self.
* IHaveManyNames: His real name is Barry Allen. He uses multiple aliases throughout Season 3, including Savitar, Alchemy, the God of Speed, and The Future Flash.
* IfICantHaveYou: He's perfectly willing to kill Iris not only to preserve himself, but also to make sure his past self won't be able to live happily with her. When offered a chance at redemption, he refuses specifically because he knows that Iris would never leave present Barry for him.
* InexplicablyAwesome: Savitar's PoweredArmor is still this, even after TheReveal. There are mysteries on how Savitar managed to create it, how it's able to do certain things like move on its own, or how it summons broken shards of itself back.
* InNameOnly: He had little in common with the comic book version of Savitar, with the only similarities being a powerful evil speedster who's worshiped as a god by his cult. It almost seemed like he was an original character with the same moniker, but then it's revealed he's actually a CompositeCharacter with Future Flash, ~~and his armor ''does'' visually resemble~~ let alone the ~~character's black suit by bearing blue TronLines~~ likes of nearly identical design.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Savitar has become a megalomaniac, but that only accentuates how insecure he is and how desperate he is to escape from his very painful past as Barry Allen.
* InformedAttribute:
** He claims to be Barry's greatest nemesis, far more than the Reverse-Flash or Zoom, a claim that is later echoed by Abra Kadabra (a man from the future, for whom this is all ancient history). However, over 75% of the way through the season, his [[ArchEnemy personal connections to Barry]] have not been nearly as well established as with the Reverse-Flash or Zoom, meaning this claim has yet to be physically demonstrated. Finally subverted when we learn that Savitar, but he is a future time remnant, meaning Barry is indeed HisOwnWorstEnemy.
** Tracy comes to the conclusion that Savitar's armor keeps his supercharged speed under control, and that he'd likely suffer severe side-effects without it. When seen without the suit, Savitar's speed seems no different than Barry's, and he suffers no obvious consequences to going without it.
* InvisibleToNormals: Non-metahumans, most metahumans, and camera footage can't see him, even when he's not moving. Speedsters like the Rival and Barry can, though when he is moving, [[UpToEleven even they only see brief flashes of light]] due to how incredibly fast he is. However, he seems to be able to make himself visible when he wants to, such as allowing Julian to see him. It's eventually revealed that he's trapped in the Speed Force. Once he breaks free, he's visible to everyone.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Befitting his god delusion, Savitar only truly cares about himself. His entire evil plan revolves around ensuring his own existence and ascending to godhood.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: It only becomes apparent once he [[TheReveal reveals]] his MysteriousPast was initially successful as a time remnant of Barry Allen, but it's quite clear Savitar has long since gone off the deep end. He dons a PsychoticSmirk, has gained [[AGodAmI a god complex]], and is uncharacteristically sadistic.
* KarmicDeath: He is ultimately killed by Iris West, the very woman whom he tried to kill to ensure his survival.
* KickTheDog: ''Hoo boy''...
** He baits Julian Albert into getting the Philosopher's Stone and getting turned into Dr. Alchemy with the false possibility of bringing his sister back to life.
** He appears to Wally as his mother in an attempt to get him to release the Philosopher's Stone, only to drop the disguise and taunt him.
** He seals Wally in the Speed Force to suffer an eternal MindRape.
** The BadFuture Barry saw has him stabbing Iris through the back, breaking Wally's spine, and sending Joe into a deep depression.
** As soon as he's close to facing a RetGone, he threatens to kill Caitlin if Cisco doesn't redesign the Speed Force Bazooka. To threaten Cisco, he mimicked the way Thawne killed Cisco in a cancelled timeline, just to hurt him.
** He specifically threatens to kill Cisco with a Reverse-Flash so he can "die the same way twice."
** Once he's finally out of ways to save himself, he declares that he will kill all of Barry's loved ones out of spite. It's the last KickTheDog moment he gets to make before Barry gives him a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown and Iris shoots him.
* KillTheOnesYouLove: His goal is to kill Iris West, the woman he outright called the love of his life. Why? So that he can break the prime Barry and drive him down the dark path that will give birth to Savitar. But in a twist of irony, it's Iris herself who puts an end to him.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: His beating and slaying of Edward Clariss would have been horrifying if Clariss criminal simply because there weren't such a violent SmugSnake.
* KneelBeforeZod: He keeps insisting that others bow to him as part of his AGodAmI shtick.
* KnightOfCerebus: The moment he shows up, an already dark and intense scene goes UpToEleven. The revelation of his true identity in 3x20 only makes him even ''more'' of a living nightmare.
* LargeHam: He clearly enjoys boasting about his godhood at every opportunity.
-->'''Savitar:''' You are but a shadow beneath my throne.
* LeanAndMean: Underneath his armor, he has Barry's GeekPhysique.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In "I Know Who You Are", Barry confronts Savitar, declaring he has finally figured out Savitar's identity. Savitar dryly responds with the thought on ''every'' viewer's mind.
-->'''Savitar:''' It's about time.
* {{Leitmotif}}: His [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=E4q9GbMrwqk theme music]] consists of a choir chanting in soprano, as if to signify his godhood.
* ALighterShadeOfBlack: Despite his actions and what his end goal is, he's far more sympathetic than Reverse-Flash or Zoom. He's so far the only BigBad Barry has ever sympathized with in spite of how much Savitar wants him to suffer.
* LightIsNotGood: His armor has glowing lines of pale blue light and the lightning he leaves behind is pure white, but nobody would mistake him for a hero.
* LightningBruiser: He's huge and doesn't have Barry's [[FragileSpeedster fragility]], but is also fast well beyond any other speedster featured on the show.
* LiteralMetaphor: Barry Allen truly is HisOwnWorstEnemy.
* LivingLegend: Invoked. Jay Garrick and Abra Kadabra talk him up as an all-powerful "God of Motion," the very first speedster to ever exist, the conqueror of many Earths, and the very worst enemy of Barry Allen. It's later established that Future Flash deliberately spread the myths of "Savitar" via time travel.
* LossOfIdentity: The time remnant that once was Barry Allen [[ThatManIsDead thoroughly rejected his former identity]] after experiencing so much pain at the hands of his former friends disowning him. He instead embraces his GodGuise as Savitar and refusing to be referred to by his old name.
* [[MalevolentMaskedMen Malevolent Masked Man]]: His metallic armor masks his face up, and he's definitely malevolent.
* MacGuffin: The Philosopher's Stone, later revealed to be calcified Speed Force, is one of the main plot drivers for Season 3. It's the source of power for Dr. Alchemy (and later Savitar), it enables the recreation of the Flashpoint metas, and it's vital in what is needed speedsters to stop Savitar or alternatively what Savitar potentially uses to prevent himself from being foiled.
* ManipulativeBastard:
** He (through Alchemy) recruits a normal Edward Clariss by constantly showing him visions of his alternate Flashpoint life where he had powers, and offering to turn him into a metahuman. It's later all but stated he did this to the other three people he changed.
** He uses visions of someone's deceased loved ones (Julian's sister, Dante Ramon, Francine West) to manipulate them into taking the Philosopher's Stone and setting him free.
** He turns Wally into a speedster, then emotionally manipulates him using taunts and visions, which ends with Wally throwing the stone into the Speed Force and being sucked in himself, while Savitar was allowed to roam free.
* MasterOfIllusion: Thanks to the Philosopher's Stone, he can project illusions to manipulate people to do his bidding. He voices the illusions himself, making it even harder for Team Flash to tell what's real and what isn't.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It's ambiguous if his PoweredArmor has scientific or mystical origins. It's even implied to be [[{{Magitek}} both]].
* MeaningfulName: Savitar (also spelled Savitr) is a Hindu god of, among other things, motion.
-->'''HR:''' Savitar. Hindu god of motion.\\
'''Barry:''' ...he said he was a god.\\
'''Cisco:''' Well, ''that's'' not disturbing.
* MirrorMatch: Whenever he fights Barry. [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome Apparently]] this also happened in a potential future where Barry created a [[CloneArmy whole bunch of time remnants]] to fight him, and Savitar single-handedly killed them all except deliberately leaving one alive (as well as the original Barry) [[StableTimeLoop to become him]]. The fact that he was able to do this is likely a combination of him being a FutureBadass as well as [[TheUnfettered lacking Present!Barry's moral boundaries]].
* MonsterProgenitor: He's the first speedster and among the first metahumans at all (if not the absolute first), as he was granted power by the Philosopher's Stone, the first MassSuperEmpoweringEvent. Except not; his prime self was first turned by the Particle Accelerator explosion, meaning the Stone, made of calcified Speed Force energy, could only have made him ''more'' powerful.
* MyFutureSelfAndMe: 3x20 reveals that Savitar is actually a future time remnant of Barry Allen who has turned evil, so throughout Season Three, Barry has been fighting an evil version of ''himself''.
* MysteriousPast:
** Allegedly he was the first human to become a speedster before he became a god. It gets more muddled until Nora discovered her powers. Even when he ~~claims that Barry created him, only to backtrack and claim he created himself, meaning it's possible he's ''not'' the Savitar from legend, [[GodGuise merely someone using~~ begins his name]] (similar to Hunter Zolomon only pretending to be Jay Garrick). "Into The Speed Force" confirms this to be the case, and "I Know Who You Are" reveals his true identity -- a time remnant of Barry himself. Then "Cause and Effect" has the team theorize that he deliberately created the myth of the God of Speed by means of time travel, meaning he ''is'' that AncientEvil, but the myth itself is inaccurate.
** Even with his true identity revealed, Savitar's past remains mysterious. When and how he obtained his armor, and how his face was disfigured is never revealed. The armor's [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane implied]] mystical aspects only raise further questions as to where he got it. The root of his [[InformedAttribute supposedly]] supercharged speed and how he obtained the Philosopher's Stone are likewise left unrevealed. His descent into villainy is also relegated to exposition from Savitar himself ([[UnreliableExpositor who may or may not be a reliable source]], given his personal biases and SanitySlippage), and the exact details are left to the audience's imagination.
* MySuitIsAlsoSuper: "I Know Who You Are" establishes that the armor is designed to protect him from the dangerous side effects produced by his greater than normal (for a speedster) speed. It can even fight under its own power by his command.
-->'''Savitar:''' I forgot to tell you. My suit's cooler than yours.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Of a sort. In the comics, Savitar's real name was never revealed. ''The Flash'' does give him a name, Barry Allen, but it's only due to being a CompositeCharacter.
* {{Narcissist}}: He's obsessed with his own godhood and body double scheme, he can't stop talking about it, even when Barry groans at him to shut up.
* NothingIsScarier: He claims that being trapped in the Speed Force made him lose his mind several times over. Although it is later shown that being trapped in the Speed Force forces one to continually relive their worst memories, it is still unknown what Savitar saw, though one could presume it was prime Barry watching Iris die.
* NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: H.R. comments that if he protects himself with a suit of armor, he can't be all-powerful like he claims. Indeed, Jesse manages to stab him through a gap in the armor and injure him. Ultimately, for all his claims of godhood, Savitar is nothing but a man. And Iris proves him right when she shoots Savitar dead.
* ObviouslyEvil: Between [[HumanoidAbomination his]] [[TinTyrant appearance]] and [[EvilSoundsDeep voice]], it's pretty easy to tell that he's a villain. His appearance under the armor -- with the black outfit, burned face, and the sadistic grin he shows to his past self -- just further emphasizes how far removed he is from the hero his prime self is.
* OhCrap: Has this moment when he realizes that he failed to kill Iris, putting his existence in jeopardy.
* OminousLatinChanting: His theme most definitely befits his ominous presence. When his true identity is revealed, it's mixed with a DarkReprise of the show's main theme to awesome yet tragic effect.
* OutsideContextProblem: He's the first ''Flash'' BigBad whose powerful to a level that Barry and do much more than inconvenience Team Flash ~~have no hope of countering. When facing Thawne and Zoom,~~ until Barry ~~just had to find a way to get faster and close the gap between them, but with Savitar, he's so hopelessly fast it's apparent he has no chance of ever reaching~~ starts losing his speed. This holds true even after TheReveal, as Savitar was actually revealed to be a Future Barry Allen, which meant he had knowledge of what Barry had done which is constantly being rewritten whenever Barry and Team Flash try to change history.
speed.
* ParadoxPerson: Savitar's entire existence is one of the most paradoxical in the entire Arrowverse. It's revealed that Barry Allen of 2024 created multiple time remnants to aid in the fight against Savitar, with Savitar killing all of them except for one. This surviving time remnant ended up ''becoming'' Savitar himself, going back to torment the present day Barry by attempting to kill Iris and recreate the conditions used to create himself, effectively ensuring his existence via a StableTimeLoop. However, Savitar only came into existence ''after'' the Flashpoint event, as shown by the future newspaper in the Time Vault changing. Needless to say, Savitar's origins are ''very'' complicated.
* PastLifeMemories: He's capable of granting to others their memories of the Flashpoint timeline. He also gains whatever memories Barry creates.
* PlanetLooters: How he spends his time? Travelling throughout the Multiverse with the Philosopher's Stone in hand, seeking out the most powerful speedsters who threaten his power, doing battle with them, then taking over their Earths. Future Barry does not approve, so out of revenge and pride, Savitar decides to attack the present Flash, who is still in his early days before they've even met. At least, that's what the legend of Savitar says; it turns out he has a far more personal vendetta with Barry, being an evil time remnant.
* PhysicalGod: Jay Garrick confirms in ''The Flash'' 3x09 that Savitar WasOnceAMan, but became the God of Motion, meaning he's not exaggerating. Later subverted; after he escapes his prison, he loses his complete dominance over Barry and only seems slightly faster, because he's still just a man; The Fastest Man Alive, yes, but still not an actual god.
* PowerEchoes: Much like the previous two BigBad speedsters. His NotNamedInOpeningCredits: Surprisingly [[AvertedTrope averted]]. Whereas past voice is given a more metallic, gravelly sound compared to Zoom's very deep, Vader-esque voice or Reverse-Flash's whispery one.
* PoweredArmor: His suit isn't just for show; it sports retractable blades, allows him to channel his white lightning into ranged attacks, and helps him keep his immense power from consuming him. It can also move on its own!
* PretenderDiss: He calls H.R. "the fake Wells", presumably due to the latter having pretended to be a scientist.
* PsychologicalHorror: Something that Savitar introduces that was absent from the Reverse-Flash and Zoom is his tendency to use DemonicPossession, invading the minds of his victims and speaking through them.
* {{Pride}}: Future Barry's victory over him leads to Savitar going back in time to attack Barry in the present. Turns out he's also trying to ensure his own corruption.
* RantInducingSlight: His backstory involves him being rejected and ostracized as a disposable clone of Barry, but he manages to retain an air of haughtiness when speaking to Team Flash -- at least until Joe asks "Man, what did we ever do to you?" in ''The Wrath of Savitar''.
-->'''Savitar:''' YOU TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME! I never asked for any of this, Joe! I am only this way because of you! '''All of you!'''
* Really700YearsOld: Implied, given that he's the first speedster in existence. Possibly subverted when he claims that Barry created him, then when it turns out he's just a man under the armor, then fully subverted with the reveal of his true identity.
* RedBaron: The "God of Speed". He's also called the "Dark Lord" by his own cult.
* RedemptionRejection: Barry offers to save Savitar after Iris' death is prevented, and while he seems to entertain the possibility for a brief time, he ultimately rejects the offer when he points out that even if they saved him, forgave him and gave him a place, he can remember all of the happy memories Barry will have with Iris that he himself can't have.
* RetGone:
** Having failed to kill Iris and drive Barry to darkness, Savitar is eventually wiped from existence as a result, though it takes a few hours. He even gets [[RasputinianDeath shot dead by Iris beforehand]].
** Post-Crisis it’s implied that not only was he erased from existence but he never happened at all, with characters having no memories of him. When listing off the previous speedster villains they’ve faced, Savitar is noticeably absent.
* TheReveal: In 3x20, "I Know Who You Are", it's revealed that Savitar is actually a time remnant of Barry Allen, who has gone down a dark and twisted path. He's menacing the present Barry and attempting to kill Iris in order to create a StableTimeLoop and ensure his own existence.
* {{Revenge}}: This seems to be his motive; he wants revenge on Barry for his defeat and imprisonment at Future Barry's hands. However, that's just a cover for his true goal, to ensure that Barry ''becomes'' him.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: He seems to have knowledge of the Flashpoint timeline that was erased. This is because he [[PlaceBeyondTime got trapped inside the Speed Force by Future Barry]], allowing him to observe the events of Flashpoint unaffected. Then it turns out he is a time remnant of Future Barry, so whatever Barry does to try and stop him, Savitar remembers and can easily counter it. On the downside, anything that affects Barry's memory also affects Savitar; when Barry inadvertently gave himself amnesia, Savitar lost his own memories as well, only recovering after Barry did. It occasionally takes a while for Savitar's memories to adjust to changes in the timeline; he only remembers the "Iris" he killed was really H.R. [[OhCrap after he already did it]].
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: Savitar singles out Barry as his most personal ArchEnemy, while his comic counterpart was introduced in the Wally West era. Granted this Savitar does indeed clash with Wally West, but it's a far less personal conflict than it is with Barry. It gets more complicated when it's revealed that Savitar is really the show's version of [[FutureMeScaresMe Future Flash]], who indeed was a personal enemy for Barry Allen in the New 52 comics.
* SadlyMythtaken:
** In the Hindu pantheon, there is a ''Savitr'', but he's a solar god, and has nothing to do with speed or motion.
** Savitar claims he sought godhood because "God feels no pain". Depending on what myth you're looking at, gods are perfectly capable of feeling pain, including Hindu mythology from which he takes his name. It appears that even though he's been around for thousands of years, he has never ''once'' bothered to actually do a bit of research ([[AlternateCharacterInterpretation either that or he's just being plain hypocritical]]).
* SanitySlippage: While we don't actually see it onscreen, he goes from the selfless, heroic, noble Barry Allen that we know, to a sadistic killer with a god complex known as Savitar. He explains it was the result of [[BreakTheBadass anguish at being rejected by Team Flash]] due to [[ExpendableClone his status as a time remnant]], so he resorted to becoming a god to deal with the pain.
* SarcasticConfession: Every time Team Flash asks who he is, he's been answering them flat-out, knowing they won't get it.
-->'''Savitar:''' [[ExactWords I am the Future Flash]]!
* SealedEvilInACan: His physical presence depends on if the box containing the Philosopher's Stone is open. If it's closed, he disappears. Turns out Future Barry trapped him in the Speed Force, so he uses Alchemy as a medium to further his return to the physical world.
* SecondEpisodeIntroduction: Viewers get a glimpse of his arm during TheStinger of the second episode of ''The Flash'' Season Three. Though technically, he's been introduced [[EarlyBirdCameo way before]] the series even aired, in the middle of ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' Season Two.
* SerialEscalation: He's even faster and more monstrous-looking than Zoom, who himself was a big step up from the already creepy Reverse-Flash.
* SerkisFolk: The first speedster who's so inhuman-looking that he's entirely CGI, and played by motion capture stuntman Andre Tricoteux. Subverted as of 3x15, "The Wrath of Savitar", when he finally appears in an actual, physical suit. Further subverted when the man under the armor reveals himself to Killer Frost, then to Barry.
* SlasherSmile: He sports a chilling one when revealing his true identity to Barry.
* SmallNameBigEgo:
** He claims to be Barry's most hated enemy, even more than Thawne or Zoom, while from Barry's perspective he's just the latest in a long line actors of evil speedsters ~~he has to fight. However, considering there's a timeline where he killed Iris which ''broke'' Barry in a way that not even his parents' deaths did~~ like Creator/TonyTodd (Zoom) and wrecked Team Flash's lives, he might have a point.
** He claims to be a god when he's actually just a man.
** However, his name isn't that small with TheReveal that he is a time remnant of the Flash himself.
* StableTimeLoop: His entire existence is one giant TemporalParadox where he is responsible for his own creation. He wants to kill Iris in order to ensure it, Creator/TobinBell (Savitar and since he lived through all of his prime self's attempts to stop it, he knows exactly how to thwart them. After finding out his true identity, Barry and Team Flash's goal is to break the cycle and prevent his creation Doctor Alchemy) were [[UncreditedRole unlisted]] in the first place.
* SuperEmpowering: As Alchemy, Savitar opening credits of their respective episodes, Creator/BDWong is ~~capable of granting to people the powers and memories they had~~ given full credit in the Flashpoint timeline. Judging by the number of "husks" the police have found, he's done so at least six times thus far, known recipients being Edward Clariss, Frankie Kane, Shade, Wally West, and Clive Yorkin.
opening credits every time.
* SuperSpeed: He's ''so'' fast that only Barry and cameras can even see the flashes of light that come with his movements. In fact, when seen through his perspective, it appears he is running by tunneling through the Speed Force itself. Sensors pick him up OutsideContextVillain: An in-universe example as essentially teleporting all across the city simultaneously, and Barry identifies him as more teleporting than running. Judging from their first battle, Savitar runs so fast that Barry appears to be moving in ''slow motion''. After escaping the Speed Force, his speed has been reduced; while he's still faster than Barry, the latter is able to fight him on a more even footing than before.
* SuperStrength: Thanks to his PoweredArmor, this Savitar is not only faster but also stronger than the average human, able to heft Barry Allen up by the neck using only one arm.
* SwordAndFist: He makes use of bare-handed blows as often as he does his blades.
* SympathyForTheDevil: With the revelation that Savitar is a time remnant of Barry that went off the deep end, Joe appears to be sympathetic to him and tries to remind him that he was his son.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: He's freaking huge and ''will'' deliver snarky one-liners if he has a chance. And underneath the PoweredArmor is a time remnant of the [[FacialHorror once]] TallDarkAndHandsome Barry Allen.
* TakingYouWithMe: After his plans are utterly ruined in "Finish Line", Savitar, knowing that he only has minutes of existence left, promises to kill everyone Barry loves before meeting his fate. Even after Barry stops him, Savitar makes a desperate attempt to kill Barry as revenge for all the suffering he's endured (although he fails in this as well).
* TemporalDuplication: Originates as a time remnant of Barry, created [[StableTimeLoop to fight against Savitar/himself]].
* ThatManIsDead: In a sense. Savitar has completely rejected his previous identity as Barry Allen, and is enraged when Joe calls him by his former name.
* TinTyrant: Savitar's armor invokes this with its menacing appearance.
* TookALevelInBadass: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. Once he escapes the Speed Force in "The Wrath of Savitar", he comes off as only slightly faster than Barry. It appears that being in the Speed Force gave him an immense speed boost. "Into the Speed Force" compounds it by revealing that he's only been pretending to be a god all along.
* TragicVillain: According to his testimony, he's a time remnant of Future Barry who (according to himself) was shunned by Team Flash for not being the "real" Barry. Suffice it to say that he went crazy, decided [[AGodAmI becoming a god]] was the only way to deal with his miserable existence, and went back in time to terrorize his past self.
* {{Troll}}: He pulls off a bit of wordplay just to mess with Barry and Team Flash: They think he's saying "I am the future, Flash" (a boast), when he's really saying "I am the Future Flash" (he is a future time remnant of the Flash). The whole time that Barry's been searching for Savitar's identity, he was overlooking a blatant clue from the man himself. Barry all but kicks himself when he figures out what Savitar really meant.
* TronLines: His metallic armor glows with pale blue accents.
* TwoFaced: Once he steps out of the suit, the right side of his face is shown to carry a huge burn scar.
* UndignifiedDeath: One of the defining aspects of his personality is his god complex, and he's ultimately killed ''by being shot by a mere bullet''.
* UrExample: InUniverse, he is the first ~~person to be granted SuperSpeed. Or at least,~~ new speedster Central City has experienced since the ~~first person we've ''seen'' be granted SuperSpeed, due~~ Red Skies Crisis. Nora and Lia even doubt their boss would believe that a speedster is the cause of the string of robberies.
* RaceLift: The comic version of Godspeed was AmbiguouslyBrown. The Godspeed of the show is Native American.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant:
** Godspeed was originally a villain to Barry Allen.
** InUniverse, he goes from being ~~a time remnant of Future~~ Nora’s StarterVillain to facing Barry Allen.
* ~~VillainBall:~~ ShockAndAwe: Can shoot lightning like other speedsters only with virtually no windup. He could kill Barry at any time and Barry wouldn't be able to stop him due to Savitar ''massively'' outspeeding Barry, but this was especially shown when he was actually trying to kill Barry in "The Present" and took the time to run his arm-blades against the wall can do it standing while ~~slowly walking towards Barry and Wally, instead of just killing them outright. May be a result of his enormous pride driving him~~ others need to toy with his victims. He later explicitly acknowledges that he could easily kill Barry after he escapes his imprisonment in the Speed Force, but he'd rather let Barry live to experience greater suffering when Savitar kills Iris in front of him in the future. The trope is finally subverted when we learn that he is a time remnant of Future Barry, so he can't risk killing himself just yet.
* VillainsNeverLie: He's been telling his SecretIdentity every time Team Flash asks it (see ExactWords above).
-->'''Savitar:''' I am the Future Flash!
* VillainousBreakdown: When he realizes that H.R. sacrificed himself in place of Iris, thus preventing the future where Savitar comes to be, Savitar loses it, spending the rest of the Season Three finale desperately trying to complete his plan before make laps. Sometimes he's ~~{{Ret Gone}}d out of existence. It reaches its peak~~ sparking even when ~~Team Flash foils this plan~~ standing still.
* SuperSpeed: He artificially has it with the help of Velocity 9 and ~~Barry destroys~~ other chemicals
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Through his ~~armor, after which Savitar is reduced to screaming in impotent rage as~~ criminal actions, he makes a final, desperate attempt to kill Barry before being gunned down by Iris.
* VisionaryVillain: His cult believes he'll lead them all to a better world. In truth, his only real vision is to make himself a god who will rule over all of time; everyone is just a pawn in his game.
* WasOnceAMan: He used to be a normal man, but became the first speedster, and eventually this HumanoidAbomination. "Into the Speed Force" reveals he's still very much a man, although "I Know Who You Are" reveals he's a time remnant of the Fastest Man Alive.
* WeaksauceWeakness: The Philosopher's Stone. It's the source of his powers, but it's also his only link to the physical world. Put the stone in the casket and he's gone. He overcomes this when Wally throws the last piece of the stone helped drive Nora into the Speed Force where Savitar is imprisoned, allowing him to escape.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: According to [[UnreliableNarrator him]], the entirety influence of Future Team Flash shunned him after he and Barry's other time remnants failed to stop Savitar, calling him a "fake Barry" and rejecting him as part of their group. This [[DespairEventHorizon broke him]] and led him to turn to villainy to begin with.
* WickedPretentious: He renamed himself after a Hindu god and references the myth of Atlas, but he doesn't show anything more than a passing knowledge of the stories and more than likely just brought them up [[RuleOfCool to sound cool]].
Eobard Thawne.
* WouldHitAGirl: He is Nora's StarterVillain and killed ~~Iris in a possible future~~ her friend and has a brief skirmish with Jesse Quick.
* YouHaveFailedMe: He doesn't take it kindly when his minions fail. The Rival finds this out the ''very'' hard way.
* YourSizeMayVary: In his initial appearances, he utterly ''towered'' over Barry. During "The Wrath of Savitar", he seems almost the same size during some scenes. His being portrayed by an actor (albeit a 6'11 one) in a suit now instead of being purely CGI probably contributes to that. Then it turns out that he's the same height as Barry underneath the futuristic armor.
* YouWillNotEvadeMe: He does this to Jay Garrick for trying to escape the NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Savitar's in the process of giving him. colleague, Lia.

* AdaptationOriginConnection: Unlike his comic counterpart, Godspeed is a StarterVillain for XS.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the comics, Godspeed was a VigilanteMan who wanted to avenge his dead brother and became a more violent foil to The Flash. Here, there is no indication he has any noble intentions from the start.
* AdaptationalWimp:
** He is a very formidable speedster in the comics who poses a huge threat. Here he's reduced to a StarterVillain for XS and gets defeated by her when she has no experience being a speedster.
** Played with in Season Six. He's become more troublesome as he sends Fake Godspeeds in his place, with the fifth one proving to be faster than Barry is at the time and necessitates assistance from Pied Piper.
* AdaptedOut: He isn't shown to possess his comic counterpart's ability to sever a speedster's connection to the Speed Force.
* ArcVillain: He has his own mini-arc in Season Six where he sends fake Godspeeds back to the present while the real Godspeed remains at large.
* AscendedExtra: He first seemed like a throwaway villain for Nora, but then ended up returning as an ArcVillain in Season Six.
* BigBadEnsemble: He is an additional threat to Team Flash throughout Season Six, alongside Bloodwork, the Black Hole Organization, and Eva [=McCulloch=].
* BroughtDownToNormal: Since his powers came entirely from Velocity-9, he only has his speed for as long as it is active. He gets stopped when Nora uses the Central City Citizen building's satellites to neutralize the drug.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: His comics counterpart was BaldOfEvil (balding or completely bald, DependingOnTheArtist) and looked grotesque; here, he's played by dashing David Dastmalchian. While there have been instances when comic Kadabra is actually portrayed as attractive, it's considerably rare.
* AdaptationDyeJob: He is black-haired in the comics. Here, his hair is dyed white.
* AdaptationNameChange: His civilian identity's name is Phillipé instead of Citizen Abra.
* AdaptationOriginConnection: In the comics, Abra Kadabra and Gypsy are completely unrelated. Here, he had her former lover and partner StuffedInTheFridge.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy:
** Zig-zagged. On the one hand, comics Abra is much pettier committing crimes due to being an AttentionWhore, has a much higher body count, and has caused a lot of trauma for the Flash. In contrast, this Abra only kills people who get in his way and has the much simpler motive of wanting to return to his own time after being TrappedInThePast. Having said that, this Kadabra apparently lacks his comic counterpart's FreudianExcuse and psychiatric issues, making him far less sympathetic.
** Played straight upon his return in Season 7, where he undergoes a HeelFaceTurn, assisting Barry and team Flash against another villain.
* AdaptationalWimp: While he's quite powerful here, he's nowhere near the threat he is in the comics, where he's UnPerson'd several main characters, turned people into puppets, and doing other reality warping "tricks".
* AffablyEvil: He's always very polite and courteous when going about his criminal activities.
* ArchEnemy: To Gypsy for killing her former lover (among many other people).
* BackForTheDead: [[spoiler:He returns in Season Seven where he pulls a HeelFaceTurn and then gets killed.]]
