* KickTheSonOfABitch: His RoaringRampageOfRevenge is a ''long'' line of these -- he kills [[OffWithHisHead Grodd]], [[NeckSnap Reverse-Flash]] and [[StormOfBlades Mirror Master]] for causing major tragedies in his life. That the latter two [[TimeyWimeyBall technically haven't committed them yet]] [[KnightTemplar doesn't bother him in the slightest]].

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Tellingly, his first victims as Godspeed were speedsters imprisoned in Iron Heights, who had used their newfound powers to go on a crime spree.

Added DiffLines:

* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: When Savitar debuted, he was far and away the most powerful speedster who'd been introduced at that point and the entire Flash family struggled to defeat him, and suffered losses to do so. However, he died after that story and [[ContinuitySnarl mostly]] remained dead for almost 30 years while the Flashes steadily got stronger and stronger. As such, by the time he returns in [[spoiler:''ComicBook/TheFlashInfiniteFrontier'',]] he is only able to pose an indirect threat, and [[spoiler: once he's face-to-face with Wally in the finale of the arc [[CurbStompBattle he doesn't stand a chance.]]]]

An anthromorphic personification of death created by the Speed Force to capture speedsters at the end of their lives. While not technically evil, [[BlueAndOrangeMorality his strange views of morality]] make him a dangerous threat whenever he appears. WordOfGod says he's just an aspect of [[ComicBook/TheSandman Death of the Endless]], but it was implied in ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis'' that he is also an aspect of the Black Racer of the ComicBook/NewGods.

Asskicking Leads To Leadership is the new name of the trope.


* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: He is the unquestioned leader of his cult, as well as the fastest member. In fact, his ninjas only have speed because he grants it to them.

* ForegoneConclusion: He spends his entire arc trying to stop whoever will be responsible for the ''Flashpoint'' event. Given that he's doing so in comics branded ''The Road to Flashpoint'' we can assume it doesn't end well

* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: Attempted this on Jesse Quick; while he was content to have the rest of the Flash Family slaughtered, he took an interest in her and decided to make her his concubine. She refused, understandably, and was very disgusted by the offer.



* SadlyMythtaken: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savitr Savitar, or Savitr's]] connections with speed are him being described as the god in charge of everything that "moves and stands" in the Rig Veda... and nothing else because the guy's a ''solar'' god. The closest thing to a god of speed is Hermes/Mercury, who has already been associated with Jay Garrick.

The closest thing to Somewhat justified as he's not ''really'' the God Savitr, but instead a pilot who named himself after the god of speed is Hermes/Mercury, who has already been associated with Jay Garrick. due to the superficial similairites.



* EvilCounterpart: To Jesse Quick. She seeks the approval of Savitar like Jesse did with her father.

to:

* DistaffCounterpart: Briefly, attempted to be this for Wally West, originally as a puppet for Vandal Savage and later to gain Wally's affections. Then she fell in with Savitar's cult and remade herself as a Distaff Counterpart to him. Functionally though, she acts as a general example for the Reverse-Flash legacy by being the most notable villainous feminine speedster.
* EvilCounterpart: To Jesse Quick. She seeks the approval of Savitar like Jesse did with her father. Unlike the Reverse-Flash's, who have an unhealthy fixation on their respect GoodCounterpart, Christina couldn't care less about Jesse outside of seeing her as a brief rival for Savitar, but after she turned on Savitar she pretty much forgets about it. It's ''Jesse'' who has seething hatred for her, however, as Christina indirectly killed Johnny Quick.


Added DiffLines:

* HeroKiller: Technically, she caused Johnny Quick's death, as he dove in the way to save Jesse from her and ran himself into the Speed Force.
* IHaveManyNames: Both in her codenames and personal names. She has adopted a number of monikers; Blue Trinity (shared with the rest of her team), Lady Savage, Lady Flash, and Lady Savitar. Besides that, her legal name is either Ivana Molotova or Christina Alexandrova, and has gone by any combination of those two.
* ItsPersonal: On the receiving end of this from Jesse Quick, who hates her so much she was prepared to kill Christina in cold blood and retire from heroics. Wonder Woman talked her out of it.
