* RaceLift: The comic version of Godspeed was AmbiguouslyBrown. The Godspeed of the show is Native American.

!!AVA Corporation]]

* ArtificalHuman: They are described as being 'robot clones', a hybrid of robotic and Bishop's cloning technology. Whether this means they are {{cyborg}}s or OrganicTechnology is unclear.

* EvilKnockoff: Robotic versions of the Legends created by Evil Gideon.

* DevoredByTheHorde: His fate in the erased timeline is [[spoiler:getting devored by Mick and Kayla's [[HalfHumanHybrid Necrian children]].]]

!!! '''First Appearance:''' "[[Recap/TheFlash2014S3E18AbraKadabra Abra Kadabra]]" (''The Flash'' 3x18)
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/{{The Flash|2014}}''

A technologically-advanced criminal from the 64th century on Earth-19. He has outfitted his body with advanced {{Nanotechnology}} which allows him to have a range of abilities that most people in the 21st century would perceive as magic.

->see the Characters/DCEUTaskForceXNewTeam page for Abner Krill, the character in an undesignated Earth who bears his physical likeness

* 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 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.]]
* BadassFingersnap: Uses one to fill a tank with water to drown some cops.
* BadassInANiceSuit: He wears a black suit and is a formidable "stage-magician".
* CardCarryingVillain: He's fond of EvilGloating and is so proud of being an asshole in general.
* CelebrityParadox:
** The ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' has been alluded to before in the Arrowverse. Abra Kadabra's actor previously played Kurt in ''Film/AntMan1''.
** The ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' has been referenced before on the ''Chronicles of Cisco'' blog. Abra Kadabra's actor played Thomas Schiff, one of the Joker's deranged followers.
* ClarkesThirdLaw: His abilities look like magic, but it's actually advanced technology from the future.
* ChewingTheScenery: He speaks very theatrically.
* DealWithTheDevil: Abra Kadabra tempts Barry with a deal he just can't resist. If Barry releases him, he will reveal Savitar's true identity.
* DemotedToExtra: From a recurring threat to Barry and Wally's ArchEnemy to a VillainOfTheWeek. Though from the looks of things, [[HaveWeMetYet he'll be back]].
* DimensionalTraveler: He hails from Earth-19, but is able to cross different parts of TheMultiverse and commit crimes.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: In the Pre-Crisis future, he had a wife and son. Crisis appears to have {{Ret Gone}}d them.
* EvilGloating: When his fate is sealed, he proceeds to continuously rub in that Barry will never find out Savitar's identity from him. He even remarks with glee that withholding the truth from Barry is almost like he got to kill Iris too.
* EvilWearsBlack: He wears a black suit and is a textbook CardCarryingVillain.
* {{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.
* HaveWeMetYet: In the future, he's one of Flash's most persistent foes to the point he even knows his true identity. Due to their long history together, it seems like we'll be seeing him again.
* MagiciansAreWizards: Has stage-magic-themed abilities as his gimmick.
* MysteriousPast: Not only is he from the future, but he's from a different AlternateUniverse.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Abra Kadabra is only his CodeName. His real name is revealed to be Phillipé.
* RaceLift: Abra Kadabra is usually Caucasian in the comics, while here he's played by a mixed Arabic and European actor.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: After he makes a HeelFaceTurn, he dies in helping the Flash fight a new muscularly buff villain.
* SmallRoleBigImpact:
** He's initially just a VillainOfTheWeek, but he's ultimately responsible for Caitlin turning into Killer Frost, so that [[HealingFactor she doesn't die]] from an injury he inflicted. He also inadvertently gave Barry the idea of travelling to the future to find out Savitar's identity. Finally, he's the first person to let Barry know about his upcoming nemesis [=DeVoe=], which--combined with Savitar's later similar revelation--is what actually spurs Barry to first go after [=DeVoe=] in Season Four as soon as he hears the name.
** His second appearance also sets up the next arc for season 7, [[spoiler:as it ends with him being brutally murdered by the monstrous Fuerza, who becomes one of the new big villains.]]
* SmugSmiler: He loves giving an evil, overconfident smirk.
* SwissArmySuperpower: Nanotechnology from the 64th century offers endless applications that are so versatile they can be passed off as stage magic.
* TrappedInThePast: He's from the 64th century and is travelling TheMultiverse to look for gadgets to create a time machine so he can get home. This is in direct contrast to his comic book counterpart, who hates his home time period.
* UncertainDoom: The last we see of him is being escorted back to Earth-19 by Gypsy to await execution for his crimes.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: As of his return in Season 7, Crisis has changed the timeline so that the future he came from no longer exists, with his wife and son implied to have been {{Ret Gone}}d.
* WeWillMeetAgain: Gypsy takes him to Earth-19 to be executed for his crimes there, but his past self will still turn up again to give Barry trouble.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: His hair is dyed white and he's a merciless jackass.

!!!'''Species:''' Metahuman
!!!'''Known Aliases:''' Cicada II, Cicada 2.0, She-Cada
!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/SarahCarter
!!! '''First Appearance:''' "[[Recap/TheFlash2014S5E16FailureIsAnOrphan Failure Is An Orphan]]" (''The Flash'' 5x16)
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/{{The Flash|2014}}''

A meta-human serial killer following her uncle's legacy, who travelled back from the future to [[StableTimeLoop stop XS and Team Flash from curing her]].

->see the Characters/ArrowverseCentralCityCitizens page to see her present self
->see the Characters/SmallvilleMeteorFreaks page to see Alicia Baker, the Earth-167 character who bears her physical likeness

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While she's worse than her uncle, she's still somewhat more sympathetic than the comics Cicada who killed in order to [[LifeDrain absorb life]] out of a desire for power, rather than a KnightTemplar with a misplaced sense of justice.
* AffirmativeActionLegacy: Her uncle was the original Cicada.
* AncestralWeapon: She ends up taking her uncle's dagger as the second Cicada.
* AxCrazy: She becomes perhaps the single deadliest villain in the show to date, with over a hundred kills to her name.
* BigBad: In the last quarter of Season Five after her uncle takes the meta-human cure, her future self shows up to bring havoc upon Team Flash.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: {{Justified}}. As the dark matter shrapnel in her brain has severely compromised her, she sees her uncle as good and anybody who opposes him as bad.
* CanonForeigner: Like her uncle, while Cicada is an existing character, Grace Gibbons is original to the show.
* CelebrityParadox: The ''Series/{{CSI}}'' universe is often used to poke fun at Team Flash in the early seasons. Her actress was the recurring lab tech during the sixth season of ''Series/{{CSINY}}''.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: The very first female BigBad for ''Series/{{The Flash|2014}}''. [[note]] Discounting Amunet, who was the BigBadWannabe part of a BigBadEnsemble.[[/note]] Furthermore, she contrasts her uncle by being a much more unhinged person. Dwyer at least was unwilling to harm non-metas, Grace is willing to kill anyone without powers if it meant they were in her way.
* CrazyPrepared: She knew ''exactly'' when to interfere with the chain of events that if left undisturbed would mean she wouldn't exist in the future.
* CurbStompBattle: ''All'' of her battles with Team Flash end like this in her favor.
* DarkActionGirl: She becomes so dangerous and notorious that she's dubbed as the most lethal villain in history. In "Failure is an Orphan" she demonstrates why, by showing she's so skilled with her knives she can deflect conventional gun fire from Joe, laser fire from Iris, ice blasts from Killer Frost, concussive blasts from Vibe, and thrown lightning from the Flash. ''At. The. Same. Time.''
* DarkIsEvil: A genocidal serial killer who dresses in a dark hood and mask.
* DecompositeCharacter: She's revealed to be yet another version of Cicada, distinct from her uncle Orlin and David Hersch.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: Dies mid-way through the Season 5 finale, leaving the FinalBoss duties to Eobard Thawne.
* EvilCounterpart: To Nora. Both are the daughter figures to The Flash and Cicada, both [[KidFromTheFuture went back in time]] to save a fate befalling their 'fathers', and both become {{Legacy Character}}s. The similarities grow even further when it's revealed they were both [[UnwittingPawn unwitting pawns]] for Eobard Thawne in his plans to escape death row.
* EvilerThanThou: She kills her beloved Uncle Orlin when he cements his HeelRealization because he's no longer the metahuman killer she emulated. Not only that; she is perfectly willing to kill non-metahumans unlike her uncle.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[Franchise/StarWars Kylo Ren]], as the obsessive, emotionally immature LegacyCharacter of a DarthVaderClone, who winds up being disappointed in her idol's perceived weakness of redemption, and thereby determined to surpass them and become their SuperiorSuccessor. For bonus points, both end up murdering a paternal figure (Kylo with his biological father, Grace with her uncle and father figure) and she has powers to move objects like the Force.
* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: Aside from her RedRightHand, Grace looks like a normal, attractive young woman, whose soft features make her appear somewhat innocent. Beneath that, any innocence she ever had died long ago, to be replaced by racism, hatred, and cruelty as she indiscriminately slaughters metahumans and anyone else who gets in her way.
* FantasticRacism: A combination of the death of her parents, and her own injuries at the hands of metahumans, as well as unconsciously hearing her uncle and Dr. Ambers' anti-meta rhetoric has given her the same metahuman hatred as her caregivers.
* FinalSolution: Her EvilPlan is to use the botched, deadly versions of Cisco's meta-cure to kill every last metahuman.
* FreudianExcuse: Her parents were (accidentally) killed by a metahuman. Then she was put in a coma by [=DeVoe's=] satellite, and was able to listen to Dr. Ambres and Orlin's anti-meta rhetoric thanks to the dark-matter shrapnel in her brain.
* FutureBadass: Evil version. She's a comatose CreepyChild in the present day and a notorious KnightTemplar in the future.
* HateSink: Unlike her uncle who was a WellIntentionedExtremist, Grace is completely devoid of redeeming qualities, indiscriminately killing anyone who gets in her way including her own uncle when he tries to talk her down.
* HandBlast: And they are not only powerful, but also versatile, as she can use them basically like a tractor beam to grapple people and objects.
* InvincibleVillain: Team Flash almost never wins a single encounter with her. In fact, she is so powerful that in the end erasing her from existence is the only way to get rid of her.
* KidFromTheFuture: Or niece, in this case. She travels back in time to stop her present self from getting cured.
* KnifeNut: She is able to use a pair of kukuri blades with such skill she can deflect gun and meta-human fire from multiple sources, in addition to being connected to the lightning dagger.
* LegacyCharacter: Dons her uncle's mantle in the 2040s.
* ALessonLearnedTooWell: While unconscious, she constantly overheard Vanessa Ambres and Orlin Dwyer's constant rhetoric about revenge and hatred to metahumans. She becomes so obsessed with it that she becomes even worse than her uncle.
* MindOverMatter: Her more advanced power gives her a limited form of this, as she can project energy that can lift and move both people and objects.
* OutsideContextProblem: Team Flash was so focused on catching her uncle, that they're completely blindsided when she arrives from the future, completely without warning.
* [[PsychopathicManchild Psychopathic Womanchild]]: She is stuck mentally and emotionally as a child because of the shrapnel in her brain. She has no control over her temper and sees the world in an oversimplified "Us vs Them" mindset.
* RedRightHand: While Orlin was able to hide his scar under his clothes, Grace's is stretched across her forehead.
* RedemptionRejection: Her uncle tries to talk get her to let go of her anger and stop killing, so she kills him.
* RetGone: When the dagger is sent to the Mirrorverse, she is erased from existence.
* SelectiveObliviousness: Even when her uncle explicitly tells her that he doesn't believe that her parents' deaths at the hands of a metahuman was a deliberate attack, but just an unfortunate accident, she ignores his argument that no money was taken to focus on her belief that all metahumans are evil.
* SummonToHand: Just like her uncle, she's able to control the lightning dagger thanks to having another satellite shard lodged in her.
* SuperiorSuccessor: To her uncle who was the original Cicada. While already a dangerous man himself, she's more competent with the dagger and is practically an InvincibleVillain with [[OneManArmy one of the highest body counts]] in the entire Arrowverse. While Frost is still immune to Grace's depowering skills, she is not as effective against Grace as she was against Orlin.
* StableTimeLoop: If Team Flash had given her child self the meta-human cure, she wouldn't exist. She goes back in time just as Dr. Ambres is stitching up her Uncle Orlin to prevent that from happening.
* TooPowerfulToLive: She's powerful to the point she's an InvincibleVillain who is nigh undefeatable. Never mind choosing whether to spare her or not, killing her is practically an impossible feat. The only option Team Flash had left to put a stop to her is to [[RetGone erase her from existence]].
* WalkingSpoiler: She shows up in the final quarter of Season 5 just as Team Flash administers the cure to her Uncle Orlin becoming the BigBad. She also kills her own uncle.
* WoundThatWillNotHeal: Her head wound is still visible in her adulthood.
* VillainousBreakdown: When she's faced with her plan being foiled and herself being subject to a RetGone, all she can do is howl in rage.

* PsychopathicManChild: She is stuck mentally and emotionally as a child because of the shrapnel in her brain. She has no control over her temper and sees the world in an oversimplified "Us vs Them" mindset.

** A rare instance where the example occurs within the ''same'' work, doubling as an ActorAllusion. Creator/JohnNoble (the actor) appears in the episode "Guest Starring John Noble" as himself, while Mallus is still voiced by him. Unlike most examples, the character ''do'' in fact [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall notice that Noble and Mallus sound alike]] and turn to him to read some lines in Mallus' voice.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Abra Kadabra is only his CodeName. His real name is revealed to be Phillip&eacute.

!!!'''Played By:''' Kindall Charters, Ryan Handley (Masked Actor), Creator/BDWong (Masked Voice)

* ArchNemesis: To Bart, who compares Godspeed as Thawne is to Barry.

* EvilIsHammy: Particularly in season six. Creator/BDWong is clearly having a blast playing a bad guy.

!! [[ComicBook/GorillaGrodd Grodd]]

* CanonForeigner: Mallus has no direct analogue to any character in the comics.

* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: Most of the characters pronounced his name as "Mah-luss" before he corrects them in the finale and states it was pronounced as "Malice".

* BadassMustache: Sports one and is a skilled "street-magician".

* MesACrowd: He sends multiple copies of himself to the present in order to overwhelm Team Flash.

* CollectiveIdentity: In Season Six, he sends several fake Godspeeds back in time to cause chaos for Team Flash, while the real one is still at large.

** InUniverse, he goes from being Nora’s StarterVillain to facing Barry Allen.

[[folder:Godspeed Army]]

* 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. This wraps in Season Seven where he is the final main villain of the season.

* BigBadEnsemble: He is an additional threat to Team Flash throughout Season Six, alongside Bloodwork, the Black Hole Organization, and Eva [=McCulloch=].

* SameCharacterButDifferent: Pre-Crisis, he was a petty criminal who gave himself artificial speed at a time when there (seemingly) were no other speedsters around, believing he would be unstoppable. Post-Crisis, he's obsessed with gaining real speed powers, sending an army of duplicates back in time specifically to target Barry.

* MadeOfIron: She's extremely tough. Sara got a few staff whacks on her that she completely ignored. Cops' bullets bounce off of her. Rip blasts her out the window of a Palmer Tech top-floor office and she comes back without a scratch. Later, Rip's younger self stabbed her]] a few times, which just ended up pissing her off and distracting her.

!Time Criminals (Groups)

!Time Criminals (Independent)

* AchillesHeel: The Zambesi totems were used to imprison him, so he's weak to their power. Well, ''five'' of them. He has control over the Death Totem because the tribe that had it chose to ally with Mallus instead of against him, though Sara is ultimately able to break his hold over it.

* NotSoDifferent: From the Time Masters. When Rip finds evidence of a great evil throughout time, they refuse to believe him in fact, they arrest him, even though he's their leader and founder, for actually doing something about it.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Rip describes them as "lacking imagination", which means they are unequipped to deal with Mallus, unlike the Legends.
