13. Godspeed
Oh look, a new one! I really wanted to throw a newer villain on this list, but for the five years or so of the New 52, we really didn’t get any great new Flash villains. Turbine and Mob Rule are ehh, the new Reverse Flash is unnecessary…but with Rebirth, we got a really solid new foe for the Scarlet Speedster.
Meet Godspeed. He’s a superfast serial killer. MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE FIRST ARC OF THE FLASH AFTER REBIRTH AHEAD. Okay, there we go. Because “Who is Godspeed?†is the big mystery of the first arc and I don’t wanna ruin the answer without a warning. But it’s Detective August Heart.
Heart’s brother was murdered, leaving him with a desire for vengeance rather than justice. When he was given super speed by the Speed Force Storm, he took a role as The Flash’s new partner…until it was revealed he was also meting out street justice as the masked murderer Godspeed.
Flash fought him and locked him in Iron Heights, but his future remains unseen.
