!'''Star(ling) City Citizens'''

[[folder: Oliver Queen / Green Arrow]]
!! [[ComicBook/GreenArrow Oliver Jonas Queen / Green Arrow]]
->'''Known Aliases:''' The Starling City Vigilante, The Hood, The Arrow, سهم (Al Sah-Him, Arabic for "The Arrow"), The Green Arrow
->'''Played By:''' Creator/StephenAmell

The main and eponymous character of ''Series/{{Arrow}}'', a vigilante in Star(ling) City. See Characters/ArrowMainCharacters.
----
* ActionDad: He had a son, but he doesn't know it yet. He finally finds out in the second part of the second {{Crossover}}.
* AndStarring: Is given a "Special Guest Star" citation like most of the ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' cast. Him especially, being its main star and all.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: His appearance in "Flash vs Arrow" involves him attributing his being still alive to this and trying to teach Barry how much being in their line of work requires it. He points out that Barry has the potential to be even better at it than he is, because his superspeed gives him all the time in the world to case out and analyze any given situation.
* BadassNormal: No powers. Just training. Still 100% badass.
* BigDamnHeroes: Arrives with Firestorm to help Barry take down the Reverse-Flash in Rogue Air.
* CannotConveySarcasm: The reason why Felicity didn't know he was literally going to shoot Barry with an arrow is that she couldn't tell if he was joking or not.
* CelebrityParadox: Cisco makes a {{Pun}} on ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' when fighting The Turtle in Season 2. His actor played Casey Jones in ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesOutOfTheShadows'' later in the same year.
* ColorCharacter: Cisco lambasted his MeaningfulRename when he saw it in the news.
* ContinuityCameo: He appears in the pilot to further encourage Barry to become a superhero.
-->'''Barry:''' I'm just not sure I'm like you, Oliver. I don't know if I can be some vigilante.\\
'''Oliver:''' You can be ''better'', because you can [[TheCape inspire people]] in a way that [[TheCowl I never could]]. Watching over your city like a guardian angel, making a difference, saving people...in a [[TitleDrop flash]].
* CrazyPrepared: He brings nanite arrows, made by Ray, specifically to counteract Wells SuperSpeed in Rogue Air.
* DidNotGetTheGirl: Tries to invoke this word-per-word to Barry to help him stop him from torturing himself from his unrequited love.
* DisappearedDad: Has one. He himself is one as he has no idea that he has a child and that the child is in Central City. This is because his late mother Moira exiled the child and its mother without his knowledge (or maybe even consent).
* ExperiencedProtagonist: This is highlighted numerous times during the crossovers. When Barry was struck by Bivolo's HatePlague and was required to be stopped by Oliver, their respective team members except Felicity (who is close to both and thus more concerned about the situation happening than the possible outcome) had an argument with Diggle invoking this very trope in the discussion.
-->'''Caitlin:''' I just hope they (Wells and Joe) can turn Barry back before he ''kills'' Oliver. \\
'''Diggle:''' Me, I'll be more worried with what Oliver might have to do to Barry. \\
'''Caitlin:''' Barry has super powers. Oliver [[UnderestimatingBadassery has a bow and arrow]]. \\
'''Diggle:''' Do you have any idea how many people Oliver killed with that bow and arrow?\\
'''Cisco:''' Recurve bow arrows can travel up to 300 feet-per-second, so, like, 200mph? Barry can run three times that fast.\\
'''Diggle:''' Whatever. Oliver's been doing this a lot longer; my money's on [[LampshadeHanging experience]].\\
'''Cisco:''' My money's on speed. \\
'''Felicity:''' Please tell me you're not actually having this conversation right now?!
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Barry notes Oliver's ImportantHaircut after he joined the League of Assassins.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Obviously.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: In "Flash vs Arrow", Barry has been hit with the HatePlague and they get into a fight. It ends in a draw.
* LongLostRelative: A variant. During his visit, he meets the woman he impregnated whom his late mother "exiled". After he leaves, the woman talks to their child over the phone. He finally meets the child the following year.
* MrFanservice: Iris, in particular, notices, and says that his arms are twice the size of Barry's.
* SecretKeeper: Mutually with Barry/The Flash.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Everytime he and Barry are together, his "tough-as-nails" demeanor/personality is often highlighted.
* SinkOrSwimMentor: Much to Barry's initial resentment. Comes with it being [[TrainingFromHell how he was taught, too]].
* StopHavingFunGuy: Scolds Barry for nicknaming his criminals, not casing the scene before rushing in and in general, treating crime fighting as a game.

[[folder: Felicity Smoak / Overwatch]]
!! Felicity Megan Smoak
->'''Known Aliases:''' Overwatch
->'''Played By:''' Creator/EmilyBettRickards

Oliver Queen's right-hand woman. See Characters/ArrowMainCharacters.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: Iris [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] the fact that she and Barry are adorable nerds.
* AndStarring: Is given a "Special Guest Star" citation like most of the ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' cast. However, she was credited under (albeit first) the regular guest star lineup in her first {{Crossover}}.
* BetterAsFriends: What she's decided with Barry for now as of "Going Rogue."
* TheConfidant: In "All Star Team-Up" Barry confides in Felicity that Wells is the [[BigBad Reverse-Flash]] and his fear that Cisco and Caitlin are either working for, or will side with, Wells if they come to blows. Felicity in turn helps convince Barry that both Caitlyn and Cisco are trustworthy and to tell them what he knows about Wells.
* DuelingHackers: In "All-Star Teamup" she uses a desktop computer to wrestle the VillainOfTheWeek, Brie Larvan, for remote control of a swarm of robotic bees.
* HollywoodHacking: She hacked into Central City's network in about three seconds (after Cisco said it would take 30 minutes) by typing a bit on a computer that happened to be sitting nearby.
* LittleBlackDress: She wears [[https://hostr.co/file/970/gyAlysdZQMX7/felicity2.gif an impressive example]] of this during a trivia contest.
* NerdsAreSexy: Her attractiveness and nerdiness are equally lampshaded by other characters.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Inverted with Ronnie Raymond. In the source material, she's his stepmother. Here, they never even meet.
* SixthRanger: So far, she's the one who is occasionally seen and referred to in helping Team Flash. This all changes when Iris finds out that Barry is the Flash and starts helping out Team Flash as well.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: A nerd with a pair.

[[folder: John Diggle / Spartan]]
!! John Diggle
->'''Known Aliases:''' Spartan
->'''Played By:''' Creator/DavidRamsey

Oliver Queen's right-hand man. See Characters/ArrowMainCharacters.
----
* ActionDad: He and Lyla have a baby girl named Sara.
* AloofAlly: He doesn't interact with Team Flash as much as Felicity and Oliver do.
* AndStarring: Is given a "Special Guest Star" citation like most of the ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' cast.
* BattleCouple: He and his wife Lyla were veterans who fought in TheWarOnTerror.
* HappilyMarried: With his wife Lyla.
* HeroicBSOD: A comedic one happens to him when he sees Barry's [[SuperSpeed powers]] for the first time. Needless to say...
-->'''Diggle:''' I had a cousin who got struck by lighting once. He just developed a stutter.
* MetaGuy: He usually lampshades every trope related to the situation.
* RetiredBadass: He's a veteran who fought in TheWarOnTerror.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: He stands 6'2, and his deadpan humor is more evident here than in his own show.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Inverted. Unlike Ollie and Felicity, it took him a while to adjust to Barry having super powers. Ollie says that powers or not, this is still the same Barry they befriended back in "The Scientist"/"Three Ghosts". Up until the ''Arrow'' Season 3 finale, he mentions that he's still not used seeing it.

[[folder: Laurel Lance / Black Canary]]
!! [[ComicBook/BlackCanary Dinah Laurel Lance / Black Canary]]
->'''Known Aliases:''' Black Canary
-> '''Played By:''' Creator/KatieCassidy

An ADA in Star(ling) City who also functions as a vigilante. See Characters/ArrowMainCharacters.
----
* AndStarring: Is given a "Special Guest Star" citation like most of the ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' cast.
* BusCrash: She dies late into ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' Season 4.
* GenreSavvy: Implied that she figured out Barry's SecretIdentity after he (and his team) came to visit Oliver in Star(ling) shortly after Oliver (and his team) was in Central City and connected the dots.
* MidSeasonUpgrade: She asks Cisco to modify Sara's Sonic Device. He of course enthusiastically obliges and suggests a new name for it - "the Canary Cry". Laurel likes it.
* NoodleIncident: She apparently became close with Team Flash between her appearance here and the time of her death. This likely happened in the breaks between their respective shows' seasons.
* OutOfFocus: She's interacted with Team Flash very little, not evening having her own adventure with them like Felicity, John, Lyla, and Ray did. And since she's killed off late into Arrow Season 4, she never will.
* SecretKeeper: Knows Barry is The Flash.
* StepfordSmiler: Was able to let loose and be more fun when talking to Cisco, but it's still obvious that she's still somewhat affected by her and her father's fallout (ItsALongStory). Well, that and the crap that is happening to her friends' lives at the time.
* WhenSheSmiles: Her {{Crossover}} appearance is one of the rare times [[note]] including [[DeletedScene deleted Season 1 flashbacks]] [[/note]] the audience sees her more fun nature, this despite, at the time, [[StepfordSmiler her relationship with her father being seriously strained and a lot of shit is happening concerning her friends]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Thea Queen / Speedy]]
!! Thea Dearden Queen / Speedy
->'''Known Aliases:''' Speedy
-> '''Played By:''' Creator/WillaHolland

Oliver's younger sister who also functions as a vigilante. See Characters/ArrowMainCharacters.
----
* AndStarring: Is given a "Special Guest Star" citation like most of the ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' cast.
* AppropriatedAppellation: She has always treated "Speedy" as an EmbarrassingNickname, but the second {{Crossover}} shows that she has finally learned to like it. She and Cisco even engaged in a SnarkToSnarkCombat when the latter suggested that [[TheNicknamer he]] can think of a better superhero CodeName for her.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Due to Oliver's ThouShallNotKill policy, he holds back on killing Savage. Because of this, she finishes the job ([[{{Immortality}} or at least she thinks she did]]).
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: She and Cisco engage in one.
-->'''Thea:''' I'm ''not'' changing my nickname. I like Speedy.
-->'''Cisco:''' Are you familiar with my body of work? If you are, then you ''know'' I can come up with something so much better than "Speedy".
-->'''Thea:''' Why don't you get a haircut and maybe we could talk about it?
-->'''Cisco:''' I think you just mad cause my conditioner game is on point.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Quentin Lance]]
!! Quentin Larry Lance
-> '''Played By:''' Paul Blackthorne

TheCaptain of Star(ling) City Police Department and Laurel's father. See Characters/ArrowMainCharacters.
----
* AndStarring: Is given a "Special Guest Star" citation like most of the ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' cast.
* TheCaptain: He is DaChief oF SCPD.
* {{Foil}}: To Joe. Both of them are the cop main characters [[note]] For added bonus, both of their actors' respective StarMakingRole are also cops; ''Series/LawAndOrder'' ([[Theatre/{{RENT}} at least as a screen actor]]) for Jesse L. Martin, ''Series/TheDresdenFiles'' for Paul Blackthorne. [[/note]] of their respective show, and actively involved with their city's resident hero as a result. But while Joe has always been supportive of Barry being The Flash, Quentin's relationship with The Arrow is pretty shaky and unpredictable. Around the time he discovered The Arrow's real identity, their relationship had completely gone to shit. They also have a daughter whom they've always been especially close to - while Quentin had a second child (Sara), he's described the bond between Laurel and himself as one of trust, similar to Joe and Iris. Furthermore, one side of the relationship has been keeping the other LockedOutOfTheLoop with good intentions; and the level of hurt that Quentin felt about Laurel doing it, when Sara died, has forced Joe to reconsider his own self-righteous attempts to keep Iris from finding out that Barry is The Flash.
* HeelRealization: It appears his conversation with Joe will make him reflect on his and Laurel's strained relationship, though how exactly will it play out remains to be seen.
* LargeAndInCharge: He stands 6'4 and is DaChief of SCPD.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Joe did not give him the details regarding why he (Joe) and Cisco are in Star(ling) City, stating that "anyone who finds out about it will be in grave danger."
* ObliviousGuiltSlinging: He confides in Joe that his relationship with Laurel is severely strained, because his daughter kept something monumental from him and he has trouble getting past that betrayal of trust. He's unaware that the person he's talking to is keeping similar monumental secrets from his own daughter, but from his expression Joe clearly sees the parallels. Part of Joe's response is an attempt to justify his own actions.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Ray Palmer / The Atom]]
!! [[ComicBook/TheAtom Dr. Raymond Palmer / The Atom]]
->'''Known Aliases:''' The Atom
-> '''Played By:''' Creator/BrandonRouth

A businessman who owns Palmer Technologies. See Characters/ArrowRecurringCharacters and Characters/LegendsOfTomorrow for other tropes.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: Just like Felicity, Ray proves to be just as much of a dork as her with his tendency to OpenMouthInsertFoot, the goofy smile he gives when he lands in front of Team Flash, and helping Cisco name the villain of the week. It's even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Caitlin when he and Felicity start [[OpenMouthInsertFoot inadvertently describe their sex life to the team]].
--> '''Caitlin:''' ...God, there's two of them.
* AndStarring: Is given a "Special Guest Star" much like in ''Series/{{Arrow}}''.
* BirdsOfAFeather: He and Cisco hit off pretty fast.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: He is one of the EnsembleCast of ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''.
* MidSeasonUpgrade: Goes to STAR Labs in "All Star Team-Up" in order to upgrade his PowerArmor so that it can sustain itself without overheating the system.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: He doesn't make it to the battle royale against the Reverse Flash (due to being locked up at the time), but still manages a big contribution as Oliver loads his arrows with nanites Ray created to counter the Reverse Flash's powers.
* OneHeadTaller: Barry told Felicity how Ray towers over her.
* PowerNullifier: Creates one for The Reverse-Flash (or maybe for Barry too should he go rogue).
* SecretKeeper: Becomes this for Barry/The Flash after the two meet.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Manly Man to Cisco's Sensitive Guy.
* TheSmartGuy: He is the Arrowverse's first Tech based hero, he can't not be. He even builds nanite arrows specifically to cancel out Wells' SuperSpeed.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: He stands 6'3, and him being both "hot" and OneHeadTaller than Felicity were respectively lampshaded by Caitlin and Barry.
* UnskilledButStrong: He's still a bit undisciplined when it comes to his tech, which theoretically makes him among the most powerful combatants in the Arrowverse. He nearly damages his neck through reckless flying when we first meet him.

[[folder: Harrison Wells]]
!! Dr. Harrison Wells
-> '''Played By''': Creator/TomCavanagh

The ''real'' Harrison Wells, killed fifteen years ago by Eobard Thawne, who took his place. Had Thawne not messed with the timeline, Wells and his wife would have built the Particle Accelerator in 2020.
----
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Nothing is known about the canonical founder of S.T.A.R. Labs, but hopefully he didn't went into the same crap Dr. Wells did...
* AdaptationNameChange: In the comics, the name of S.T.A.R. Labs' founder is either Dr. Robert Meersman (Silver Age) or Dr. Garrison Slate (New Earth).
* {{Adorkable}}: The S.T.A.R. Labs name was his wife's idea—and before she came up with it, he wanted to name his dream after her.
* AndStarring: Technically, since it is ''his'' actor's name in the OBB.
* AscendedExtra: In the comics, the founder of S.T.A.R. Labs was never a big character and isn't integral to any StoryArc. Here, he's vital to the plot.
* BackFromTheDead: Thanks to Barry going back in time to save his mother in the Season 2 finale, Wells is likely saved from being [[KillAndReplace killed and replaced]] by Eobard Thawne.
* BigGood: According to Eobard Thawne, he and his wife successfully launched the Particle Accelerator and "radically changed the course of humanity" in the original timeline.
* BrainyBrunette: Given that members of the Thawne family are blonde, it should've been a big clue that there was more to Thawne's disguise than a name.
* BodyHorror: Thawne's identity theft involves him transforming himself into a genetic copy of Wells while the real Wells' body turns into a desiccated husk.
* ClearMyName: Sadly averted. The S.T.A.R. Labs crew hasn't done anything so far to rectify the horrible things Eobard Thawne did while using his name and identity despite their knowledge of the latter's DeadPersonImpersonation, which the world will probably believe since they're now being exposed and aware of several scientific breakthroughs (meaning that things such as TimeTravel no longer sounds ridiculous).
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: He has his [[BodyHorror skin ripped off]] by a futuristic device Thawne carried and is left an unidentifiable corpse.
* DeadAllAlong: The "Harrison Wells" we know is actually Eobard Thawne. Thawne killed him and took his place fifteen years ago.
* DeathByAdaptation: Doctors Meersman and Slate apparently didn't die in their respective versions, unlike Dr. Wells who is DeadAllAlong.
* DiesWideOpen: He died with an agonized look on his face ([[BodyHorror what's left of it, that is]]).
* FromBadToWorse: If Eobard Thawne ''killing him'' isn't bad enough, the bastard ultimately tarnished his name and reputation on purpose just so he could shave a few years off on the wait to get back home. Even after his [[DeadPersonImpersonation impersonator]] was long outed, everyone associated his name in all the evil things that the latter has done.
* HappilyMarried: He planned to run S.T.A.R. Labs and build the Particle Accelerator with Tess Morgan at his side.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Or rather of another timeline. Had Eobard not messed up the timeline, he and his wife, Dr. Morgan, would have successfully launched the Particle Accelerator in 2020 and radically altered the course of humanity.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: He was a kindhearted man with good intentions for the world. Unfortunately, his impersonator did several monstrosity before ''and'' after he [[KillAndReplace killed and replaced]] him that ultimately tarnished his reputation. But the real kicker is probably when the impostor made a posthumous video confessing a crime he made using ''his name''.
* IronicName: His name sounds very similar to Creator/HGWells. He was killed by a time traveler.
* KickTheDog: He was given a CruelAndUnusualDeath all because Thawne needed to take his identity.
* KillAndReplace: The Reverse-Flash uses some sort of futuristic device to drain his body, transforming himself into Wells while turning Wells into a desiccated corpse.
* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: How Eobard Thawne dispatched his wife Tess so he can easily KillAndReplace him.
* NeverFoundTheBody: After the KillAndReplace, Eobard somehow dispatched his corpse. It was buried not far from the [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident "accident" site which was then discovered by Joe, Cisco and Quentin fifteen years later.]]
* NiceGuy: He envisioned S.T.A.R. Labs as [[ForScience a research laboratory that would be free from government or corporate influence]] that could benefit mankind and be right in the heart of the city. Then Thawne corrupted his dream for his own selfish purposes.
* PlatonicLifePartners: Was this to Dr. Tina [=McGee=]. Sadly, Thawne [[NoodleIncident did something(s)]] after he took his identity that strained "their relationship".
* PosthumousCharacter: Died around the same time Nora Allen did, which was around the beginning of the TurnOfTheMillennium.
* RaceLift: Dr. Wells was Caucasian, while Dr. Garrison Slate is either BlackAndNerdy or AmbiguouslyBrown. Nothing is known about Dr. Robert Meersman.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: We only see the real Wells in the moments before his death, but his work on the particle accelerator is what causes Thawne to come in and steal his identity, resulting in the series' current timeline, rather than the one that would have existed had he survived.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Unlike the fake Wells we know, he seems to actually need them; he favored the cleared-frame style.
* TogetherInDeath: A variant. His wife died first, but he was [[KillAndReplace killed and replaced]] by Eobard Thawne just moments later.
* WalkingSpoiler: One of the biggest so far.
[[/folder]]

!'''Family Members'''

[[folder: Nora Allen]]
!! Nora Allen
->'''Played By:''' Michelle Harrison

Barry Allen's mother and Henry Allen's wife. Her death at the hands of the Reverse-Flash continues to haunt Barry as an adult.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Like Barry, she's blonde in the comics and most adaptations. Here, she's a redhead.
* BackFromTheDead: Thanks to Barry going back in time in the Season 2 finale, Nora is saved from being killed by Eobard Thawne.
* DeathByOriginStory: She was killed by a mysterious man in a blur of light when Barry was eleven.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: When Barry was finally able to time-travel, he opted not to save her (following the advice of his 2024 self) so he wouldn't mess with the timeline. Still, he was able to say goodbye to her unlike before and stayed with her until she dies, and doing so finally gave him some closure in his life.
* DiesWideOpen: Barry finds her corpse with a shocked look on her face.
* GoOutWithASmile: In the Season 1 finale. Barry ultimately didn't save her, but he gladly revealed to her who he is and that he and his dad would be OK. Hearing this, she leaves the world more peacefully and with pride on what her son will become. This contradicts the usual flashbacks Barry had of her where she had a shocked look on her face. She still DiesWideOpen, however.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: She died from a knife to the heart.
* KilledOffscreen: Everyone knows her cause of death, but the stabbing happened offscreen. It was shown in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot during the first season finale.
* MissingMom: To Barry.
* PlotTriggeringDeath: While not the absolute key to everything, her murder ''is'' what drove Barry into a job in police forensics and into using his newly-gained powers to help people.
* PosthumousCharacter: Killed in the pilot.
* RevengeByProxy: It is later revealed that the Reverse-Flash killed her as consolation price because he wasn't able to kill young Barry.
* TwoFirstNames: Being a Creator/DCComics based character, she has a last name that is traditionally used as a first name.
* WhiteShirtOfDeath: Was wearing an Ivory colored blouse the night the Reverse-Flash killed her.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Clarissa Stein]]
!! Clarissa Stein
->'''Played By:''' Isabella Hofmann, Chanelle Stevenson (young)

Prof. Martin Stein's wife.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: Her comic counterpart is not a devoted wife to Prof. Stein, to the point that she ''divorced him'' just because she couldn't stand the fact that he is MarriedToTheJob.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Her New Earth counterpart has [[RavenHairIvorySkin raven hair]]. Here, she's blond.
* AlliterativeName: She's known as Clarissa Clemens prior to her marriage.
* AlphabeticalThemeNaming: She and '''C'''aitlin '''S'''now are the {{Love Interest}}s of the two people that composes Firestorm.
* CelebrityParadox: The ''Franchise/LawAndOrder'' franchise is acknowledged to exist in the Franchise/{{Arrowverse}}. Her actress was a main character on ''Series/HomicideLifeOnTheStreet'' which takes place on [[SharedUniverse the same universe]].
* CoolOldLady: Very cooperative of Team Flash when tracking down Ronnie when he was still unwillingly fused with her husband.
* HappilyMarried: Despite her woes that her husband is MarriedToTheJob, they are more than vocal on how they love each other.
* {{Housewife}}: Implied to be this.
* MeetCute: ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' reveals that she was tagging along with her uncle when she first met Prof. Stein, who was her uncle's student at the time. In fact, their meeting was one of that episode's plot points.
* MoralityChain: For Stein when he was still unwillingly fused with Ronnie, much like how Caitlin was for the latter during the ordeal.
* SecretKeeper: One of the few people outside of his team who knows that Barry is The Flash.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Dante Ramon]]
!! Dante Ramon
->'''Played By:''' Nicholas Gonzales

Cisco's older brother.
----
* ActionSurvivor: He's attempted to take out Heat Wave and survived.
* AdaptationalVillainy: His comic counterpart is apparently very close to Cisco. Here, they're not. Of course this gets subverted once HeelRealization kicks in.
* AgeLift: In the comics, he and Cisco are around the same age. Here, he's clearly older and their actors' ages are 13 years apart.
* AloofBigBrother: He's not really that much of a great brother to Cisco. At first.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: ParentalFavoritism is in his favor, much to [[TheUnfavorite Cisco]]'s dismay.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Looks like a decent man until you hear him talk to his brother pre-HeelRealization.
* CompositeCharacter: He has elements of Armando Ramon, his and Cisco's eldest brother in the comics.
* {{Fingore}}: Captain Cold freezes his fingers to give Cisco a SadisticChoice between his brother suffering frostbite or telling him The Flash's SecretIdentity.
* HeelRealization: Finally realizes how shitty of a brother he was to Cisco when they were kidnapped by the Rogues.
* HeroicSacrifice: Attempted to take on Heat Wave to give Cisco, the brother he mocked most if not all his life, a time to escape after his HeelRealization. Thankfully, he didn't die.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Acts smug around Cisco but he reveals that he's been jealous of him practically most of their lives.
* JerkAss: His jealously of Cisco caused him to continually belittle and undermine him, including referring to Cisco as being "loyal like a dog" and telling a girl who had a crush on Cisco that Cisco planned on becoming a priest and therefore would not be interested in her. Continually makes it clear that he thinks Cisco is glorified janitor at Star Labs. Isn't nearly as good a musician as he or his parents believe he is (his piano playing sucks ass). Oblivious to how pretty much everyone except his parents regards him as an asshole. It's practically impossible to feel any sympathy at all for him when Heat Wave kicks the crap out of him, or when Cold freezes his hands to extort Cisco. It's notable during this episode that Cold has apparently quickly figured him out and dismissed him as a non-entity, as Cold never speaks to him and barely even looks in his direction. Even when Cold freezes his hands, he ignores Dante completely and directs all his comments at Cisco. Cold even refers to Cisco as a "good brother" and you almost get the impression that he thinks Cisco is a much better brother than Dante deserves.
* KickTheDog: Pretty much his treatment of Cisco pre-HeelRealization.
* ManipulativeBastard: Because the SiblingTriangle wasn't in his favor, he lied to the girl he and Cisco liked by telling the latter wanted to be a priest.
* RedemptionEarnsLife: He was actually attempting [[RedemptionEqualsDeath the inverse trope]] when doing his HeroicSacrifice. It wasn't fatal, but the deed obviously repaired his very strained relationship with his brother.
* SecretKeeper: Given that Captain Cold {{Fingore}}d him to give Cisco a SadisticChoice to tell him The Flash's SecretIdentity, he may well be this. Unless of course Cisco whispered it to Cold or told him someplace else so he wouldn't hear it.
* SiblingTriangle: He and Cisco apparently liked the same girl in High School. The woman favored Cisco so Dante lied to her by saying Cisco wanted to be a priest.
* TwoFirstNames: Per the Creator/DCComics norm.
* WickedCultured: SharpDressedMan? Check. Loves to play the Piano? Check. Knows wines? Check.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Tess Morgan]]
!! Tess Morgan
->'''Played By:''' Bre Blair

The wife of Harrison Wells. She died because of a car accident more than a decade ago.
----
* BackFromTheDead: Thanks to Barry going back in time to save his mother in the Season 2 finale, she and her husband are likely saved from being killed by Eobard Thawne.
* BigGood: According to Eobard Thawne, she and her husband successfully launched the Particle Accelerator and "radically changed the course of humanity" in the original timeline.
* CanonForeigner: She's an original character created for the show, though it's possible that Dr. Meersman/Dr. Slate (S.T.A.R. labs' founder in the comics in the Silver Age/New Earth respectively) has a wife.
* DiesWideOpen: Wells sees her corpse still having the shocked look on her face.
* DisappearedDad: She revealed in a conversation with her husband that her father was long dead by the time they first met.
* FunWithAcronyms: Her husband initially proposed to call his laboratory named after her (T.E.S.S., which stands for Technical Engineering Scientific Studies) but instead, she proposes Scientific and Technological Advanced Research Laboratory (or S.T.A.R. Labs for short) because, as she puts it, her husband is her one and only star.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Shares her husband's vision of creating a laboratory that would be free from government or corporate influence so they could benefit mankind and be right in the heart of the city.
* HappilyMarried: To Harrison Wells. The real one to be precise.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Or rather of another timeline. Had Eobard not messed up the timeline, she and her husband, Dr. Wells, would have successfully launched the Particle Accelerator in 2020 and radically altered the course of humanity.
* HotScientist: Wells' pretty scientist wife who's also his co-founder of S.T.A.R. Labs. Wells, you lucky bastard!
* TheLostLenore: Subverted. Wells doesn't seem that affected when she was brought up. It's because Wells isn't Wells.
* TheMaidenNameDebate: Kept her maiden name, which makes sense for a published scientist. Some viewers can thus miss that she's Wells's wife, not girlfriend, but Wells says to Joe "we were married to the job... and each other." Thawne's literal taking and assuming of Wells' life was meticulous enough that he picked up on this.
* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: How Eobard Thawne dispatched her so he can easily KillAndReplace her husband.
* MythologyGag: Her name is evocative of [[Series/{{Smallville}} Tess Mercer]].
* PosthumousCharacter: Died fifteen years before the story, along with her husband, the ''real'' Harrison Wells.
* TogetherInDeath: A variant. She died first, but her husband was killed moments after.
* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: All she wanted to do was create projects to better humanity, but she ends up killed by [[TheSociopath Thawne.]]
* TwoFirstNames: While she's a CanonForeigner, she is still a character in a Creator/DCComics show. Applies to her actress too.
* WalkingSpoiler: Circumstances surrounding her death is essential to the series plot.
* WhiteShirtOfDeath: Was wearing a Beige blouse during her fatal accident.

[[folder: Rob]]
!!Rob
->'''Played By:''' Jeremy Schuetze

Captain David Singh's fiancé, later husband.
----
* DecompositeCharacter: In the New 52 comics Singh is in a relationship with Hartley Rathaway; since they aren't connected in the series (and Hartley is currently a criminal), Rob was introduced as Singh's LoveInterest here.
* DietEpisode: Not an ''episode'' exactly, but Rob appears to be fairly health conscious and has roped Captain Singh into it as well. This hasn't stopped Singh from sneaking less healthy lunches at work.
* GayAesop: A very subtle one. Rob tries to visit Captain Singh in his hospital room only to be briefly denied as only family are allowed in at the time. Joe insists that Rob, being Singh's fiancé, counts as family and Rob is allowed in without a fuss. This mirrors real-life instances in which same-sex partners are denied visitation rights in hospitals.
* HappilyMarried: With Cap. Singh in the penultimate episode of Season 1.
* NonActionGuy: Apparently.
* OnlyOneName: Hasn't been given a last name.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: Only appeared and mentioned in scenes related to Captain Singh.
* StraightGay: Like his fiancee, he doesn't appear camp.
* UnbrokenVigil: Is introduced waiting outside Singh's hospital room after he's injured by the Weather Wizard.

[[folder: Francine West]]
!! Francine West
-> '''Played By:''' Vanessa A. Williams

Iris West's mother and Joe's estranged wife. She has a son that is also Joe's.
----
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: The drug-addict and estranged LongLostRelative storyline is native in the show, though it's justified since she's [[SparedByTheAdaptation mostly]] a PosthumousCharacter in the comics anyway.
* AdaptationNameChange: Iris' mother is named Fran or Nadine (New Earth) from the DC comics.
* ChildrenRaiseYou: It is implied that raising Wally is what really reformed her.
* CompositeCharacter: Most likely a combination of '''Fran''' Russel (Iris' biological mother) and Nad'''ine''' West (Ira's wife) from the DC comics.
* IHaveNoSon: Both Joe and Iris disowned her and want her out of their lives.
* IllGirl: She suffers from [=McGregor=]'s syndrome.
* LongLostRelative: She disappeared from Joe and Iris' lives for more than twenty years.
* KilledOffScreen: Succumbs to her disease in between episodes 11 and 12 after having made peace with both Iris and Wally.
* MissingMom: She left when Iris was a little kid. Joe had to tell her she died.
* MoralityPet: She's the only person that Wally so far cares for. He gets into illegal street races to pay for her hospital bills.
* RaceLift: She's Caucasian in the comics like the rest of her family.
* RecoveredAddict: The reason she disappeared from her family's life.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: She's trying to make amends to both Joe and Iris before she finally succumbs to her illness.
* SecondEpisodeIntroduction: Makes her debut at the second episode of Season 2.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: She's almost always a PosthumousCharacter in the comics. Subverted when she later succumbs to her disease.
* YouSeeImDying: From a disease, as a result of her life as a negligent drug addict. This is the reason she came back to her family's life, to get closure. Unfortunately for her, this doesn't change how Iris initially feels about her. While she's sorry she's dying, Iris tells her to never come back. Later on, Iris becomes more sympathetic and makes peace with her.

[[folder: Wade Eiling]]
!! General Wade Eiling
->'''Played By:''' Creator/ClancyBrown

A US Army General who's collaborated with Harrison Wells in the past. He returns to Central City after Bette San Souci reveals herself.
----
* AndStarring: Is credited with a "Special Guest Star" citation.
* ArcVillain: For the Firestorm storyline. While he doesn't appear until near the end, his confiscation of Stein's research is an indirect catalyst for Stein going to STAR Labs and getting into the accident with Ronnie.
* ArchEnemy: Considers Grodd this after being tortured by him.
* AssholeVictim: He's such a smug, power-hungry dick that it's hard to feel sad when Wells sics Grodd on him.
* BadassBaritone: As only Creator/ClancyBrown can pull off. When Grodd is speaking through Eiling, he sounds '''''demonic''''' compared to his normal voice.
* BigBadWannabe: PlayedWith. He is a genuine threat and someone to be concerned about, but is relatively minor in the grand scheme of things compared to the Reverse-Flash. After having enough of Eiling's crusade to turn the meta-humans into living weapons he has him dragged off by Grodd at the end of "Fallout".
* CelebrityParadox:
** Cisco mentioned ''Film/TheShawshankRedemption'' in Season 1. His actor played a major antagonist in that film.
** In the second annual {{Crossover}} with ''Series/{{Arrow}}'', Cisco mockingly calls the main villain "Franchise/{{Highlander}}". Eilling's actor was part of [[Film/{{Highlander}} the film]] that started the entire franchise, with it even being his StarMakingRole.
** The ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' is acknowledged to exist in the Franchise/{{Arrowverse}}. His actor plays Colonel Schoonover in the second season of ''Series/{{Daredevil|2015}}''.
* ColdBloodedTorture: Uses this to try to get information on Project Firestorm from Professor Stein.
* CrazyPrepared: He's quick to get to work making weapons for specific use against each metahuman.
* TheDeterminator: Wells notes that once he has a target in sight, he doesn't let up.
* EnemyMine: Acknowledges being in this with Barry as of ''Grodd Lives''
* EvilOldFolks: Downplayed on the "old" part, since Creator/ClancyBrown was only fifty-six when shooting. He wants to use meta-humans as living weapons, throwing the ethics and morality of such things to the wind.
* FantasticRacism: He really hates metahumans. However, he calls Barry "[[YouAreACreditToYourRace one of the good ones]]" after he is saved from Grodd.
* FourStarBadass: He manages to prove quite a dangerous gunman in "Grodd Lives", taking out some armed guards and at least one SWAT member.
* GeneralRipper: It ''is'' Wade Eiling we're talking about.
* IfIWantedYouDead: Is aware of the Flash's SecretIdentity and says that if he wanted to come after him, he would've already done it.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's rude to everyone, though a little less to Wells, mostly due to being wary of him.
* JerkassHasAPoint: The rationalization Eiling gives for the extreme measures he's taking is frighteningly solid: in a few years the USA went from fearing terrorists crashing hijacked airliners into major cities, to super-powered metahumans who can ''set off nuclear explosions with their minds''. America and the US military are [[Film/TheAvengers2012 hopelessly, hilariously outgunned]] against existential threats to our very survival, like the Reverse-Flash.
* KarmaHoudini: Despite all of his blatantly illegal actions, he's still able to main his rank in the army.
** He's eventually freed from Grodd's mind control, though Barry tells him he'll eventually have to pay for his crimes.
* LaserGuidedKarma: He used to torture Grodd with a cattle prod back when he was at STAR Labs. Grodd remembers all too well. When Thawne brings Eiling to him, Grodd is very eager for revenge.
* MysteriousPast: It has yet to be fully expanded on, but Wells claims that Eiling has a history of doing less-than-ethical things that involve science experiments for the purpose of human super soldiers.
* OneManArmy: Mind controlled or not, if Eiling has a WalkingArsenal at his disposal, he will USE all of it effectively.
* PragmaticVillainy: He distrusts meta-humans but he's content to leave Barry alone because they have a "common enemy".
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: He's a powerful army general who's willing to bend and outright break rules and laws to get what he wants.
* SecretSecretKeeper: Has apparently been aware that Barry is the Flash for some time. After being rescued from Grodd, he admits this to Barry that he's known for months and becomes a standard SecretKeeper.
* SpearCounterpart: To [[Series/{{Arrow}} Amanda Waller]], more or less. Both are high ranking government employees who do extremely immoral and illegal things that they claim are for the greater good of the world, and have an uneasy truce/relationship with the heroes.
* UnwittingPawn: It is implied that Thawne gave him Martin Stein to force Ronnie and Stein to re-merge, for an as-of-yet unknown reason. [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Thawne sics Grodd on Eiling once this is done]].
** And then he moves to BrainwashedAndCrazy.
* UncertainDoom: Is dragged off by Grodd... and it turns out, he's not dead.
* VillainsNeverLie: Promises to never reveal Barry's superhero identity due to having a common enemy in Grodd and the Reverse-Flash.
* VisionaryVillain: How he justifies using meta-humans as super soldiers.
* YouHaveOutLivedYourUsefulness: Pulls this on Bette San Souci and tries to on Firestorm -- twice. Thus it's pretty karmic that Thawne disposes of him once he is no longer useful to his plans, though he survives.

* AloofDarkHairedGirl: As the new head of A.R.G.U.S., she now sports a more refined and collected aura.
* BattleCouple: She and her husband were veterans who fought in TheWarOnTerror.
* CelebrityParadox: Caitlin and Cisco mentioned ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' in Season 1. Her actress had a SmallRoleBigImpact on that show's fourth season.
* TheGhost: Team Flash first met her during the ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' side of the first {{Crossover}} and was mentioned a few times towards the end of Season 1, but has yet to show up here. [[WordOfGod She is then confirmed]] to appear during the middle of Season 2 with Diggle.

!'''Mercury Labs'''

[[folder: Tina [=McGee=]]]
!! Dr. Christina "Tina" [=McGee=]
->'''Played By:''' Amanda Pays

The head scientist of Mercury Labs, a rival to S.T.A.R. Labs which developed tachyon technology that the Reverse-Flash tries to steal.
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: While she isn't truly a villain, she is portrayed in a much darker light than her original counterpart and the previous adaptation. This version of Dr. [=McGee=] is described as an "egomaniac" and behaves as antagonistically as possible towards Barry and S.T.A.R. Labs. "All Star Team-Up" sees her warm up to Barry, revealing that her antagonism is because she and Wells were best friends until Tess Morgan's death changed him. "Wells", of course, is literally [[DeadPersonImpersonation not the man she once knew]]. Subverted when she starts mellowing down.
* AgeLift: As a result of the same actress who portrayed her in the 90s series reprising her role, this incarnation of Tina is notably older than prior versions, as well as Barry.
* BenevolentBoss: Caitlin seems to have a high opinion of her when she briefly worked for Mercury Labs.
* DecemberDecemberRomance: Gets a few ShipTease with Henry Allen in Season 2. Unfortunately, Zoom decided to be the ultimate MomentKiller.
* DefrostingIceQueen: She eventually warms to Barry after ignoring the CCPD nearly got her killed. By Season 2, she completely mellowed down.
* DistaffCounterpart: She's Wells' Mercury Labs counterpart.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Despite supposedly being a so-called egomaniac, she draws the line at militarising any technology developed at Mercury Labs. She fired Brie Larvan because of this.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: She becomes a blonde in Season 2.
* GrandmaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave: Assuming that she's born the same year [[note]] 1959 [[/note]] as her actress, then she aged gracefully.
* HotScientist: The woman aged gracefully and is the head scientist of Mercury Labs.
* TheLeader: Of Mercury Labs.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: She's totally unaware of everything that has happened in the series up until the penultimate episode of Season 2 where Team Flash finally fills her in.
* MeanBrit: She's British and fairly cold towards most people she interacts with. [[SubvertedTrope She does eventually warm up to Barry, however, and most of her interactions are around Dr. Wells, who she no longer gets along with]].
* PlatonicLifePartners: She and Dr. Wells used to be this. Sadly, [[NoodleIncident Thawne caused something to happen]].
* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: Two of her scientists, Brie Larvan and Eliza Harmon, both turned to the dark side.
* RemakeCameo: Pays first played Dr. Tina [=McGee=] in the 1990s Flash show, where she was the confidant and teased love interest of Barry Allen.
* TheRival: To Wells and S.T.A.R. Labs. The two don't have a high opinion of each other.
* SecretSecretKeeper: Reveals that she knows The Flash's identity in "[[TheFlash2014S2E22Invincible Invincible]]". While no specific explanation is given, she points out that it's her job to be perceptive.
* SixthRanger: Becomes an ally of Team Flash during the penultimate episode of Season 2.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: She and Wells used to be best friends when they were living in Starling, but after Tess died in the car accident, she thought "Wells" changed too much. If only she knew how much.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Black Siren destroys Mercury Labs in the penultimate episode of Season 2.

----
* AdaptationalWimp: The second Firestorm in the Franchise/{{Arrowverse}} will be Jefferson Jackson, so he won't be a {{Superhero}} anytime soon.
* AgeLift: He's normally depicted as college aged, usually a college freshman. Here, he's a grad student, thus making him at least around in his mid-twenties.
* BlackAndNerdy: A grad student who worked for Prof. Stein.
* DecompositeCharacter: ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' will have Jefferson Jackson as the second Firestorm.
* DemotedToExtra: In the comics, he's the second Firestorm. In this continuity, that role will be given to Jefferson Jackson, thus possibly reducing him to a OneShotCharacter as a result.
* InNameOnly: Likely so due to being a DecompositeCharacter (see above).
* ProperlyParanoid: He explains to Caitlin that after the military seized everything from the project and Stein disappeared, he's been looking over his shoulder ever since.
-->'''Jason''': Am I being too paranoid? Or not paranoid ''enough''?
* TheRival: To S.T.A.R. Labs, somewhat. He applied for a job there before the reactor explosion, but afterwards ended up working with Tina [=McGee=] at Mercury Labs instead.

----
* AlliterativeName: '''S'''imon '''S'''tagg.
* AndStarring: Was credited with the "And" billing in guest star lineup.
* BigBadWannabe: He really tries to set himself up as this toward the Flash. Too bad he goes down to [[BigBad Eobard Thawne]] first.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Like the archetypal corrupt politician character, he projects an approachable person demeanor everytime he's in front of the public.
* CelebrityParadox:
** Cisco mentioned ''Film/TheShawshankRedemption'' in Season 1. His actor was a main character there.
** The ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' is acknowledged to exist in the Franchise/{{Arrowverse}}. His actor plays the U.S. President in that franchise, at least by the time of ''Film/IronMan3''.
* ChekhovsGunman: Laurel mentioned him as the major sponsor of CNRI in the first season of ''Series/{{Arrow}}''.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Stole his organ-cloning research from Danton Black.
* KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade: Thawne kills him to protect Barry from possible capture and experimentation.
* SmugSnake: Best seen when he was talking to Thawne; right before Thawne kills him, Stagg smugly states he would love to test what the Flash is capable of.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: His comic counterpart is normally a Metamorpho enemy.
* TemptingFate: He mocked Thawne about not bothering to stand when they met. Guess what the scenario is when he dies?
* WeHardlyKnewYe: He gets stabbed by Thawne in his debut episode.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: You'd think that with three of the main characters being on the police force, they would at least make mention of Stagg suddenly "disappearing". In "Out of Time", it's addressed that he was believed to have gone on a vacation, although someone from Iris' workplace was suspicious enough to go looking into Stagg's disappearance.

A winged woman who lives in Central City and Works at CC Jitters prior to joining the ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''. Little does she know, she's a lot more than she seems to be. See Characters/LegendsOfTomorrow.
----
* AndStarring: Is given a "Special Guest Star" citation starting Season 2, like most of the ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' cast.
* ChekhovsGunman:
** Sharp-eyed viewers could spot a reference to her in the Reverse Flash's future newspaper before she appeared onscreen.
** Plus her brief appearance at the end of the first season, revealing that she's lying about having just recently moved to Central City when she makes her first proper appearance several months later.
* CompositeCharacter: She's named after the late 90's/early 00's version of Hawkgirl, but her backstory as the reincarnation of an ancient Egyptian woman comes from the Golden Age Hakwgirl, Shiera Sanders Hall.
* EarlyBirdCameo: {{Pun}}s aside, she makes her first appearance in the closing seconds of Season One, watching the Flash run into a black hole.

->'''Played By:''' Franz Drameh

A former collegiate athlete whose career came to a scratching halt after the Particle Accelerator exploded. After Ronnie sacrificed himself to save Central City, Professor Stein began to die without having another partner to fuse with. Initially reluctant at first, Jax ultimately accepted to be his new "co-pilot".

He is one of the main characters in ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: In the comics, he's merely Ronnie's football teammate and BlackBestFriend. Here, he is his successor as Firestorm.
* AgeLift: Like Ronnie, he's traditionally a teenager. Here, he's in his early twenties and Ronnie is a few years older than him.
* AlliterativeName: '''J'''effer'''son''' "'''J'''ax" '''J'''ack'''son'''.
* AscendedExtra: In the comics, Jax is merely Ronnie's BlackBestFriend. Here, he's Ronnie's successor.
* BrokenAce: He was on track to a spectacular football career until the accelerator explosion wrecked his knee. This naturally makes him a bit hesitant to have anything to do with metahumans at first.
* CareerEndingInjury: He saved a student on crutches who couldn't get away during the night the Particle Accelerator exploded, at the cost of an injury that derailed his promising football career and cost him his chance to go to college. It would be an understatement to say he's more than a little bitter about it.
* CompositeCharacter: He exists in the comics, but his role as the second Firestorm and Ronnie's successor originally belongs to Jason Rusch ([[DecompositeCharacter who already appeared in Season 1]]).
* EarlyBirdCameo: He's slated to appear in ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'', but he first guested here to how how he got his powers.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When the accelerator exploded, he saved a student on crutches who couldn't get away, at the cost of an injury that derailed his promising football career. This shows the heroism that makes him the right candidate for Firestorm.
* HowDoIShotWeb: Originally until Stein gave him some pointers.
* LegacyCharacter: Succeeded Ronnie as the new Firestorm.
* LovableJock: Saves a crippled student at the cost of his promising football career.
* MilitaryBrat: ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' reveals that his late father was a member of the U.S. Army.
* MrFixIt: Works as a mechanic when Team Flash finds him.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: He's simply referred to as "Jax".
* RefusedTheCall: Initially reluctant to accept being Firestorm.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Inverted. In the comics, he's Ronnie's BlackBestFriend. Here, they don't know each other and he's merely his successor.
* ReluctantHero: He's very reluctant about the idea of being a superhero, and even after that he's reluctant about the idea of helping Rip Hunter chase Vandal Savage through time. Stein actually ends up kidnapping him because he wouldn't willingly go.
* TokenMinority: The ArrowVerse's first Black superhero to show up [[WesternAnimation/{{Vixen}} in live action]].

-> '''Played By:''' Teddy Sears

Zoom's Earth-1 counterpart.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: He is not Zoom; his Earth-2 self is.
* AdaptationalWimp: Very likely. In the comics, he is Zoom. Here, well, he's not, though it's entirely possible that he may gain powers at a later point.
* AdaptationDyeJob: A redhead in the comics, brown haired here.
* AgeLift: In the comics, he is closer in age to Wally West. Here, he's in his 30s (presumably late 30s based from his actor's age) while Wally is in his early 20s.
* ChekhovsGunman: Not in person, but Caitlin knowing about Hunter allows Team Flash to work out Zoom's true identity and backstory.
* CompositeCharacter: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted.]] We are led to believe he is the Earth-1 counterpart of Jay Garrick but that is a lie. His Earth-2 counterpart is still Hunter Zolomon
* DarkIsNotEvil: He wears all black and seems to be not evil, unlike his Earth-2 counterpart.
* DeathByChildbirth: Part of Zoom's lie about his backstory.
* DecompositeCharacter:
** In the comics, he is Zoom's civilian identity. Here, Zoom is the BigBad of Season 2.
** His role in the comics prior to turning evil was serving as a FriendOnTheForce to the Flash. Here, that role was given to Eddie.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Usually introduced during the Wally West era. Here, he makes a cameo during Barry's second year as The Flash.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: He wears all black, just like Zoom.
* GoodCounterpart: Unlike his Earth-2 counterpart, who is a psychotic serial killer turned even more psychotic supervillain, this Hunter Zolomon appears, at least at a glance, to be a well-adjusted individual.
* {{Megane}}: He's wearing spectacles when introduced.
* MissingMom: It is stated that his mother suffered DeathByChildbirth. According to [[UnreliableExpositor Zoom]], anyway.
* RedHerring: Since he ''is'' Zoom in the comics, his appearance serves a possible entry for Zoom's SecretIdentity. Turns out he isn't, but his Earth-2 counterpart is.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Being showed to Caitlin allows Harry to deduce that Zoom lied, as he recognizes the name as a SerialKiller on Earth-2.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Like Jay, he stands 6'3.
* UnexpectedCharacter: Since WordOfGod has confirmed that Zoom will not be Hunter Zolomon in this rendition even before Season 2 airs, it surprised a lot of people when he showed up. It was a RedHerring.
* TheVoiceless: Justified. "Jay" showed him to Caitlin while he was at least two blocks away.

--> '''Played By''': Tone Bell

The new editor of Central City Pictures News. He's not as enthralled by the Scarlet Speedster as the old management was, which puts him into conflict with Iris.
----
* AccentuateTheNegative: He seems to prefer focusing/showing the downside of things.
* AngryBlackMan: More of a pessimistic than outright angry.
* BeardOfEvil: He sports a beard and hates The Flash.
* TheCynic: A past instance of a BrokenPedestal led Scott to be suspicious and distrustful of heroes like The Flash.
* DaEditor: He's seen ripping a sports reporter for making basketball more boring than baseball and ordering him to rewrite it in his first scene alone.
* {{Expy}}: Of Franchise/SpiderMan 's Jonah Jameson.
* {{Jerkass}}: His reasons for wanting to start an anti-Flash crusade? He doesn't show up ''one'' time to stop a metahuman (because unknown to him he was on a rescue mission in Earth-2). The fact Jay showed up in his place is completely irrelevant to him.
* MeanBoss: He's seen criticizing two of his reporters work in the most abrasive way possible.
* PrinciplesZealot: Mild Example. He distrusts The Flash pretty much entirely on principle alone. When Iris asked why he is so reluctant to trust Flash, he tells the story of a beloved Mayoral candidate who was in the pocket of the Mob, and how he exposed him as corrupt. He then tells Iris that she should't trust The Flash for pretty much that exact reason, that he might at some point in the future fail or do something bad/morally compromising.
* RomanticFalseLead: He shows an interest in Iris, and after Barry helps her work past her issues with Eddie, she sets a date with him. Only for her to never show up, as she admits to Caitlin, that she has been thinking about acting on her true feelings for Barry, which she later does.
* StrawmanNewsMedia: He wants his reporters to start writing stories about how the Flash isn't as great a hero as Central City think he is.
* UngratefulBastard: He wants the reporters to start smearing Flash from now on simply because he has been gone for a few days.

----
* AmbiguousSituation: Barry asks her to keep Team Flash's incursion to Thawne's hidden room a secret, a promise she seems to keep, except the revelation that Thawne has been keeping tabs on Team Flash anyway puts such a "secret" in a questionable light.
* ArtificialIntelligence: One that works for Eobard Thawne.
* BaldWoman: Has this appearance as a hologram.
* ContraltoOfDanger: In stark contrast to the one in ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'', this Gideon has a deep voice.
* GenderBlenderName: Though it technically has no gender since it's an AI, it has a traditionally male name but a female voice. In "The Trap" its full holographic avatar is shown, and its body is clearly female.
* HeelFaceTurn: Averted. She follows Eobard and Barry's orders with equal compliance, even when it involves one going against the other.

* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Zig-zagged. She always obey a direct order from Barry, yet she is still assisting Thawne with his plans against the Flash - although it's implied she's just following her programming and she's not 100% sentient.
* UndyingLoyalty: Towards Barry, since he created her.
* TheVoice: Until we saw her holographic avatar.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: She disappears from the plot entirely after her interaction with Barry in The Trap. She later appears in Season 2 when Eobard Thawne returns from being {{Ret Gone}}d. ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' also shows a different version of her, helping Rip Hunter.

[[folder: Carter Hall / Hawkman]]
!! [[ComicBook/{{Hawkman}} Carter Hall / Hawkman]]
->'''Known Aliases:''' Hawkman, Khufu (original life), Hannibal Hawkes (early 19th Century incarnation), unnamed late 19th Century incarnation, Joe Boardman (early 20th century incarnation), unnamed mid 20th Century incarnation, Scythian Torvil (mid 22nd Century incarnation)
-> '''Played By:''' Creator/FalkHentschel

A man very similar to Kendra who is also being hunted by ComicBook/VandalSavage. See Characters/LegendsOfTomorrow for his main tropes.
----
* {{Badass}}: Is able to hold his own against both Barry and Oliver. Alone.
* BadassBaritone: He has a very deep voice.
* BettyAndVeronica: He is the Veronica to Cisco's Betty for Kendra.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Became an ally of Teams Arrow and Flash after Barry and Oliver kicked his ass.
* EarlyBirdCameo: {{Pun}}s aside, he makes his first appearance in the second ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' and ''Series/TheFlash2014'' {{Crossover}} before headlining ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: He is part of ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''[='=]s EnsembleCast.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: He very well knows that he'll look like Kendra's StalkerWithACrush when he just grabbed her and told her that only he can protect her from Savage.
* OneManArmy: Downplayed. He still loses, but he was at least able to fight ''both'' Barry and Oliver on equal footing.
* {{Reincarnation}}: Similar to Kendra.

* SpearCounterpart: He's basically a male version of Kendra.

* WingedHumanoid: He can sprout bird like wings.

[[folder: Time Wraiths]]

Horrifying creatures that hunt speedsters that alter the timeline.
----
* AmbiguousSituation: How they act is a bit enigmatic. Eobard Thawne implies that they only appear under certain circumstances and that just trying to alter time isn't enough to cause their presence but on the other hand makes a few comments that it was just chance that Barry ran into one and gained its attention.
* ChekhovsGunman: Initially appearing as a VillainOfTheWeek, they return in the Season 2 finale and prove instrumental in finally beating Zoom.
* ClockRoaches: Speedster messing with the timeline too much? These guys will take care of the anomaly.
* DraggedOffToHell: It's revealed this is basically what they do to their victims when they do it to Zoom after his defeat.
* TheDreaded: Even Eobard Thawne is scared witless of these guys. Seeing what they did to Zoom when they found him, it easy to see why.
* EldritchAbomination: They look like Dementors and freely inhabit, and travel through, time itself.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[Franchise/HarryPotter Dementors]], as [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] repeatedly by Cisco and Hartley.
* ImmuneToBullets: The police fired countless rounds into the wraith without harm. The Time Wraiths may even be NighInvulnerable, as Eobard mentions that no one, even in the future, has found a way to stop them.
* ManOfKryptonite: Any one of them can "eat" Barry's speed and immobilize him.
* OutsideGenreFoe: A race of ghost-like, supernatural entities that exist in the time stream would fit more with a show like ''Series/DoctorWho'' than ''The Flash''.
* SuperSpeed: One of them can easily keep up with the Flash and even Eobard Thawne doesn't think he could shake them.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: They are dead ringers for the comics' Black Flash, the Grim Reaper of all speedsters. After what they did to Hunter Zolomon, they may even be the predecessors of Black Flash in this continuity.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Low-frequency sound is fatal to them, as the Time Wraith attacking Barry finds out.

[[folder: Speed Force]]

The Speed Force is the sentient extra-dimensional source of Barry Allen and all speedsters' powers and the key to honing in on their ability to affect the fabric of reality.
----
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: The Speed Force manifests as people close to Barry and locations Barry knows.
* BigGood: The source of Barry's powers.
* TheChooserOfTheOne: The Speed Force chose Barry to be the Flash.
* ThePowersThatBe: It works in ''very'' mysterious ways. It saw fit to strip Eobard Thawne of his powers after he killed Nora, but it didn't do anything to stop Zoom despite all of the mindless carnage he caused.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: The whole point of the Speed Force trapping Barry.
* SentientCosmicForce: The Speed Force itself chose Barry to be the Flash. Barry gives a LampshadeHanging for how ridiculous this sounds when he is having a conversation with its avatar of Joe West.
-->'''Barry:''' I'm ''talking'' to the Speed Force? Isn't that like saying I'm having a conversation with gravity, or light, or...
* WarriorTherapist: The Speed Force is apparently one. Barry spends the entirety of his time in the Speed Force resolving his issues.
[[/folder]]
----

* BigBadWannabe: PlayedWith. He is a genuine threat and someone to be concerned about, but is relatively minor in the grand scheme of things compared to Wells, the Reverse-Flash. After having enough of Eiling's crusade to turn the meta-humans into living weapons he has him dragged off by Grodd at the end of "Fallout".

* AdaptationalVillainy: While she isn't truly a villain, she is portrayed in a much darker light than her original counterpart and the previous adaptation. This version of Dr. [=McGee=] is described as an "egomaniac" and behaves as antagonistically as possible towards Barry and S.T.A.R. Labs. "All Star Team-Up" sees her warm up to Barry, revealing that her antagonism is because she and Wells were best friends until Tess Morgan's death changed him. Wells, of course, is literally [[DeadPersonImpersonation not the man she once knew]]. Subverted when she starts mellowing down.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: She and Wells used to be best friends when they were living in Starling, but after Tess died in the car accident, she thought Wells changed too much. If only she knew how much.
