*Blink* Harbinger? Seriously? Of course I know who that is, she was in a team-up book... Still I never would have guessed that. And I dunno I don't think there have been *any* villains who did not appear in the comics (at least in name) up to where I am - Ep. 18 of season 2. It would be strange if Trajectory was the first. Most of the supporting cast are TV originals (even if many of them got merged or have a connection with comic characters) but none of the villains have been. Also Time Travel is a lot less fun than Dimension Travel. *Sigh* I will probably never enjoy this show as much as I did the first of the two Earth Two Episodes. Also I REALLY thought that Zoom was from Earth One, but it looks like I could be wrong. |

You're the best at this! I remember quite a bit about 52 but none of these characters are familiar to me at all. Sadly the library doesn't seem to have it anymore or I would re-read. The Time Wraith things are original though? Huh. It takes some visual cues from the Black Flash in the Morrison/Millar run.... |

Don't even know what that is.  I was not impressed with the Griffin Green guy who's powers were to have super strength and then get old and then die. But I guess everyone from this show originates in the comics. Maybe a Major Bummer villain? Might have fought Sugar and Spike? And was Rupture part of the Vibe family, too? I sorta remember Reverb under a different name, but not this guy. I can not believe there were enough Vibe related characters to make a Vibe family. Sometimes comics scare me. |

Ok, there were A BUNCH in season 2 episode 22.
Black Siren? Dude with purple coming out of his hands? Flying girl? Anyone know anything? Some of these could have just been background characters with no comic equivalent, I suppose.

Ok, as far as I can tell "Black Siren" is original to the show! (I'm pretty sure this is the first time in two seasons a "named" villain didn't have a comic counterpart." I don't know who any of the other Earth-Two villains are.
Now I am watching Supergirl Season 2.
HERE I basically know who all the villains are, even though I haven't read much Supergirl. Yay!

Not a villain but Iris' father was originally T.H. West the absent minded professor nearly exposed Barry as The Flash a couple times during the Carmine Infantino run. As opposed to Detective Joe West in the show who I actually quite like what they've done with for the most part.

Black Siren is their name for the Earth-2 Black Canary, so even though the name isn't drawn directly from DC comics, the character is. |

and before you ask. . . not sure why they aren't using her comic book name, but the new "bad" introduced last night is "Blacksmith" a rogue that led the other rogues as an underground group called "the Network" comicvine.gamespot.com/blacksmith/4005-10463/ |

I didn't know/remember this.) I quite liked all the changes the Flash made in adapting to TV... Well, except the sorta, kinda, non-biological incest. |

Originally Black Canary emigrated from Earth Two to Earth One. So I contend the Earth-Two Black Canary's name is "Black Canary." Or did all that get retconned by Roy Thomas in the '80s? |

Flash Season 2 was out on DVD for months and months before I could watch it. And some stuff (Legends of Tomorrow, Agent Carter Season 2*, Daredevil) never shows up. (Although they just got Supergirl Season 2, Orphan Black Season 5, Ash vs. Evil Dead Season 2, Jessica Jones Season 1 and American Horror Story Season 6 so I will be busy with NerdTV for a while!) * This one hurt. I really enjoy a lot of the superhero TV glut, but Agent Carter Season 1 was far-and-away my favorite.) |
