3) Doctor Alchemy
Now here’s a real shocker. Earlier on in the trailer, we see Barry getting strange visions of the word ‘alchemy’ etched onto a mirror. Later, Flash faces a hooded masked figure in the night. If you put these two hints together, it means only one thing – Doctor Alchemy is coming to The Flash.
Created in 1958 by John Broome and Carmine Infantino, Doctor Alchemy AKA Mister Element suffers from multiple personality disorder. While half of the time he’s a law-abiding citizen, he also has a criminal persona who is able to transmute the elements using the power of the philosopher’s stone (yes, the one in Harry Potter).
From the show’s SDCC panel on Saturday, we know that the bad doctor will be voiced by Tobin Bell (most known for playing Jigsaw in the Saw movies). No doubt he will provide a brilliantly terrifying voice for the character.

But that’s not the only villain the trailer debuted. As per leaked photos from filming, the promo showed a black-clad speedster with pointed ears on his mask and a yellow/red lightning emblem. Comics fans will no doubt recognize this as the Black Racer.
So, who is it behind the mask this time – could it be yet another of Barry’s trusted circle gone rogue? Actually, an interesting edit in the trailer suggests that it’s Barry himself. In one shot, we see the Black Racer race to meet a certain hero who we will get to in a minute. This transitions to the same location, but with Barry in the Racer’s place. Coincidence? I think not.
