[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/suit.jpg]]

The Suit was originally an outfit designed and crafted by Paul Gambi, a Central City tailor known for providing costumes to many of the Flash's villains, including the Rogues. Its first wearer, serial killer Dell Merriwether, was arrested with help from the second Flash and Green Lantern, and later sentenced to death by electrocution. The electricity which killed Merriwether also delivered an extradimensional parasitic entity, made up only of an electric field, to our world. The entity relocated inside the suit.
----
* ClothesMakeTheManiac: The Suit actually consists of an extradimensional parasitic entity capable of substituting its host's personality with its own.
* EnergyAbsorption: The entity gradually drains the vital energy of its hosts for its own self-sustainment.
* HealingFactor: The entity iss apparently able to reform itself after being destroyed.
* Powercopying: By taking possession of its host, the entity can gain access to their metahuman abilities, although for only a limited amount of time.

->'''A.K.A.''' Edwin Gauss

Edwin Gauss was a physics student at M.I.T. looking to definitively prove Albert Einstein's Unified field theory. After feverish effort, which included the theft of software from electronics billionaire Norman Bridges, Gauss invents a method of interdimensional travel. He developed an exoskeleton which allows his physical form to move across at least four dimensions seamlessly. Bridges, who considers the exoskeleton Gauss developed (using Bridges own software) to be his own property, pursues Gauss to claim the technology for himself. Gauss reinvents himself as a costumed criminal named "the Folded Man".
----
* PaperPeople: In his 2-D form he is totally flat, isn't solid (hence, can't be hit) and is invisible when seen from sides.
* {{Teleportation}}: Gauss within his exoskeleton was capable of teleporting anywhere within the 3rd dimension by shifting to the 4th, allowing him to seemingly disappear from reality altogether when in actuality he was merely crossing from one dimension to the other.
* ThinkingUpPortals: Can open portals at will, attacking enemies without early warning.

[[folder:Brother Grimm]]
[[quoteright:260:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brother_grimm.jpg]]

The prince of the magical dimension of Eastwind, Brother Grimm was a boy when Barry Allen and Wally West helped him and his brother overthrow his evil father. Grimm asked Wally for advice, and Wally told him to make his own choices; he gave the crown to his brother, but soon his brother proved just as evil as their father. Grimm killed his brother in battle and became king of Eastwind, blaming Wally for this tragedy. Years later, he came back to ruin Wally's life the same way he believed Wally ruined his: by destroying his home and family.
