9 Villains We’re Still Waiting To See In The Arrowverse

With five seasons of Arrow, three of The Flash and two apiece of Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow behind it, the Arrowverse contains... a heck of a lot of TV. Due to the formula of these shows - an overarching big bad, with smaller threats scattered throughout the season - the writers have plundered a huge number of villains from the DC comics universe. Everyone from big-hitters like Ra's al Ghul and Deathstroke to those resting at the bottom of the villainous barrel have shown their face over the years.

Back in season 1, there were a lot of theories that Iris’ boyfriend Eddie Thawne would become a villain – seeing how every member of the Thawne family in the comics has gone on to become a bad ‘un. In the end, Eddie actually sacrificed himself to stop the Reverse Flash, but have we really seen the last of the character?

In his final scene, he appeared to be wearing a talisman around his neck. Such a trinket usually belongs to Cobalt Blue AKA Malcolm Thawne. In the comics, Malcolm is actually Barry’s long-lost twin brother who used a magic talisman in his quest to steal Barry’s life – his friends, loved ones and, most importantly, his speed.

This would definitely fit Eddie, who was always jealous of Iris and Barry’s relationship. No one stays dead on this show either, so it wouldn’t be too far-fetched for Eddie to come back as a twisted version of himself. Going by that easter egg from season 1, maybe this has been the plan all along?
