He first appears in Arrow, personally investigating a superhuman-related crime in Starling City. Barry is a fan of the Arrow's exploits and learns Oliver Queen is the vigilante; they become good friends. Sometime after Barry returns to Central City, he is struck in his laboratory by lightning which was affected by dark matter from the explosion of the S.T.A.R. Labs' particle accelerator.

Killer Frost / Frost
Killer Frost (portrayed by Danielle Panabaker; seasons 2–9) is Caitlin's violent metahuman alter-ego who was inadvertently created by Thomas during his experiments to treat Caitlin's ALS gene. In later seasons, she works alongside Team Flash as just "Frost". When hit by Mirror Monarch's mirror gun, she and Caitlin split into two bodies. Frost briefly transforms into Hellfrost and gives her life in the fight against Deathstorm.
- Panabaker also portrays Caitlin's and Killer Frost's Earth-2 doppelgänger, a metahuman villainess who is the wife of Deathstorm (Ronnie Raymond of Earth-2) and works for Zoom.[3] She did not finish medical school and became a criminal. After Earth-2's particle accelerator explosion, she developed cryokinesis and became unable to touch anyone without killing them. Her hair turned white and her lips and eyes blue.

Khione
Khione (portrayed by Danielle Panabaker; season 9) is a new personality and a "third Snow sister" in Caitlin's body who emerges from the Consciousness Resurrection Chamber after its malfunction. She initially uses the alias Snow.[4] She has only one biometric signature, making her neither human nor metahuman, and is later described as a goddess. Her powers connect her to the natural world, allowing her to reconstruct organisms, purge unnatural cells, and detect life. At the end of the series, she ascends to become the protector of the natural order and returns her body to Caitlin.
Eddie Thawne / Malcolm Gilmore / Cobalt Blue
Edward "Eddie" Thawne (portrayed by Rick Cosnett; main: season 1; recurring: season 9; guest: seasons 2–3 & 8) is a CCPD detective who is a romantic interest for Iris, a colleague of Barry and Joe, and an ancestor of Eobard.
In season one, Eddie transferred from Keystone City. He is initially jealous because of Barry's childhood bond with Iris and suspicious despite denials, though Barry and Eddie do eventually end up good friends. Eddie teaches Barry how to box which (in addition to Oliver Queen's training) helps Barry be a capable combatant. Eddie initially sees the Flash as a menace and heads a task force dedicated to the Flash's capture, but he changes his perception due a near-death experience with the Reverse-Flash and even assisted the Flash. He later learns of Barry's secret identity and helps in an investigation of Wells as the Reverse-Flash who turns out to be his descendant. Eddie is disillusioned that Iris may eventually marry Barry until a conversation with Martin Stein when he realizes the future is not set and chooses to stop the Reverse-Flash by sacrificing himself to erase Eobard from the timeline, and his body is sucked into a wormhole. Eddie's likeness is later used by the Speed Force and Deathstorm in seasons three and eight respectively.
In season nine, Eddie is resurrected as "Dr. Malcolm Gilmore"[5] in 2049 by the Negative Speed Force. After regaining his memories, Eddie gets manipulated into believing that he lost his chance for a family with Iris and is tempted as a new avatar for the Negative Speed Force, calling himself Cobalt Blue. However, he agrees to co-exist with Barry. With Eddie being alive, he will fulfill his destiny to his family bloodline that would ultimately conceive Eobard.
Cosnett was originally slated to portray Jay Garrick in the pilot before the character was changed to Eddie Thawne.[6] Many speculated his character to be the Reverse-Flash in disguise due to his name and appearance.[7]
Cisco Ramon / Vibe / Mecha-Vibe
Francisco Baracus "Cisco" Ramon (portrayed by Carlos Valdes; seasons 1–7) is a mechanical engineering genius who works at S.T.A.R. Labs. Since season two, he operates as the superhero Vibe using metahuman visions and the ability to create breaches to other places until season five but his abilities are temporarily restored during season six for the Crisis.

- Valdes also portrays Cisco's Earth-2 doppelgänger Reverb, a metahuman villain, enforcer for Zoom and intimidating wrangler of Killer Frost and Deathstorm. He has more experience and control of his powers than his Earth-1 self, and can manipulate sonic vibrations to create powerful shock waves of considerable strength.[3] His visor technology is used to modify Vibe's own visor.

Lonsdale also stars as the character on Legends of Tomorrow and originally auditioned to portray Jefferson "Jax" Jackson.[15] He did not return full-time for season five due to wanting to seek other acting opportunities; he later made guest appearances in seasons six and nine.[16] It was always intended for Wally to be the son of Joe and brother of Iris, which differs from the character's comic history, as the producers felt it "weird" for second seasons of television series to introduce previously unmentioned cousins of established characters.[13] The character inspired another character of the same name following DC's New 52 relaunch.[17]
Clifford DeVoe / Thinker
Clifford DeVoe / Thinker (portrayed by Neil Sandilands; season 4) is a mild-mannered professor and metahuman with superhuman intelligence, who seeks to fix all that he deems wrong with humanity.[18][19][20] His character was foreshadowed by Abra Kadabra and Savitar as Team Flash's future adversary.

Hunter Zolomon / Zoom
Hunter Zolomon / Zoom (portrayed by Teddy Sears,[63] initially portrayed by Ryan Handley,[64][65] voiced by Tony Todd;[66] seasons 2–3 & 5 & 9) is a speedster from Earth-2 who is obsessed with being the only speedster in the multiverse and the main antagonist of season two. Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg said, in season one "with the Reverse-Flash, we just modulated Tom Cavanagh's voice, and this year we wanted to do something a little bit different [for Zoom]. Part of the mystery of the season is who or what is underneath the Zoom outfit, and so we wanted to do something like James Earl Jones as Darth Vader — this iconic voice coming out of this mask."[66] Hunter was a traumatized child (portrayed by Octavian Kaul[67]) that witnessed his mother's murder at his father's hands, which triggered his bloodlust as a serial killer before he gained his speedster abilities from the particle-accelerator explosion on Earth-2. Dissatisfied, he sought to increase his speed with the Velocity serums which he soon discovered carried a fatal illness. He also traveled the multiverse and imprisoned Jay Garrick with a speed-dampening mask after he's unsuccessful in stealing Jay's speed to cure himself. Inspired to be both hero and villain, he uses Jay's name as the fraudulent Flash of Earth-2 to instill false hope, which he then takes away as Zoom. Discovering Earth-1, he plots to increase Barry's speed, sending various metahumans from Earth-2 to fight the Flash of Earth-1 while also infiltrating the team as Caitlin Snow's love interest. Zoom extorts Harry Wells into physically stealing Barry's speed by kidnapping Jesse Wells. After succeeding in stealing Barry's speed, Zoom brings his army of Earth-2 metahumans to conquer Earth-1 and construct a device capable of destroying the other Earths in the multiverse, to ensure he remains the only speedster. Hunter seeks to corrupt Caitlin's mind into being like Earth-2 Killer Frost and then Barry's by killing Henry in the same spot the Reverse-Flash killed Nora, convinced that they are similar because of their childhood traumas. However, Barry ultimately bests Zoom in their final fight before two Time Wraiths arrive to punish him for his crimes against the time line; they transform him into the corpse-like Black Flash enslaved to the Speed Force. Subjugated to the Time Wraiths, the Black Flash makes occasional appearances, such as to hurt Savitar before being killed by Earth-1 Killer Frost.
- Sears also briefly portrays the Earth-1 version of the character, a non-metahuman individual.[68][69]
Jay Garrick / Flash
Jay Garrick (portrayed by John Wesley Shipp; seasons 2–4 & 6–9) is the Earth-3 version of Henry Allen. Hunter Zolomon held him captive in a failed attempt to harness his speed before being inspired to take up his name and persona to falsely operate as the Flash of Earth-2. Zoom keeps him from escaping by forcing Jay to wear a mask that suppressed his speed and prevented him from talking. After Zoom's defeat, Jay is rescued by Barry and returns to Earth-3. Jay adopts Hunter's Flash helmet as a symbol of hope, taking satisfaction in taking something from Zoom as the villainous speedster had done to him.[70] After learning that Henry is his Earth-1 doppelgänger and Barry is Henry's son, Jay watches over Barry as a sympathetic yet stern mentor to which a friendship develops. After Barry undoes Flashpoint and trying to fix the mistakes left in its wake, he explains to Barry that time travel can have adverse consequences and that Barry must live with these mistakes. Jay also helps Barry come to terms with Henry's death and in battling Savitar. The two Flashes do initially banish Savitar to the Speed Force, but Savitar manages to escape and Jay takes Savitar's place. After being freed, Jay joins Team Flash in the final battle to defeat Savitar. Jay later returns to help Barry use Flashtime, and reveals that he plans to retire and is training a protégée as his successor as the Flash. Afterwards, Jay has retired and settled down with Joan. Barry does talk to him about the upcoming Crisis that is occurring in the multiverse. Sometime after the Crisis, Jay is now living on Earth-Prime in Keystone City and regains his speed powers with the help of Joan. Before he can join the fight against Godspeed's drones in Central City, he ends up taken captive to draw Impulse out. It is revealed that the future of 2040 has him as the mentor of Bart Allen, and he gets killed by Godspeed. Barry and XS were able to rescue Jay and Bart with help from Mecha-Vibe. Jay later helped out in fighting Godspeed's drones. Following Godspeed's defeat, Jay and Joan were present when Barry and Iris renew their vows. Afterwards, Jay's death in 2040 was erased. Unfortunately, an event has erased Joan as Jay is married to someone else which causes XS and Bart to find the time anomaly responsible on December 31, 2013. After XS and Bart fixed the timeline, Jay's marriage to Joan is restored as Jay mentions to the two about his own time-travel adventures like one where he fought Nazis in World War II. Before departing, he mentions his upcoming meeting with President Lex Luthor which he then mentions that he was kidding about it. Jay and Joan from 2040 help Joe find Iris in the time stone that Darhk gave Joe. He later helps Barry's fight with Thawne.
- Regarding the difference in his portrayal of Garrick over Allen, Shipp "figured Jay is my version of Barry" from the 1990 series, adding, "I went back and I watched a couple of episodes of the 1990–91 version to kind of remind myself what I did. [Jay] is much more reminiscent of my Barry Allen from 25 years ago than my Henry Allen. I went back and I was amazed how much attitude my Barry Allen had in some situations. I went back and I picked up that thread and I brought it forward 25 years, and tried to weave it in."[71]

She believes that having superhuman power brings out the best or the worst in people, and acknowledges the Flash's heroism. Her hatred for Mark stems from survivor's guilt; when she was a teenager, she was supposed to make the deposit at the bank where her father died. When Patty gets her chance at revenge on Mark, the Flash persuades her to choose justice over vengeance. She leaves Central City to pursue her studies in the Forensic Science program at Midway City University. She also deduces Barry's secret identity and confronts Barry to confirm his identity to her and ask her to give up her dream and stay with him, but Barry admits nothing, not wanting to stop Patty from pursuing said dream. Patty later tricks Barry into revealing his Flash persona to her as she departs Central City, making him confront her in a train, after a faux attack, where they say goodbye seemingly ending their relationship on good terms.
