Hey YouTubers it's Charlie! the the flash season 2 just confirmed a new female character
will be joining the show. She'd be like a really smart Felicity Smoak type character
who might eventually join team flash and be Grant Gustin's love interest. was part of
the casting call describing her as being spunky funny intelligent and well versed in science
right away that you they just scream someone that would be perfect for team flash eventually
whether or not she actually knows the Barry is the flash when she first meets him the name
on the casting call is Wendy there is a Wendy Harris in the comics that fits that description
the name could just be a placeholder for someone more recent in the comics like Patty Spivot
it who also fits the description just like an arrow every new season introduces new characters
we've already found out about Mirror Master, I've already done a video about that it only makes sense
that they're going to bring you hero characters you also have to consider that if Caitlin
Snow is going to become killer frost she won't be part of team flash anymore leaving a giant
hole so they'll need someone who can take her place eventually and just to be clear Daniel
Panabaker is a series regular so even if she does become killer frost she'll still be
in most of the episodes she just won't be buddy buddy with team flash anymore You also have
to remember that Eddie is gone to so they could be looking for this new female character
to fill some of his functions at the police station, Wendy Harris never worked at the police
station the comics she was more of an Oracle type character but Patty Spivot was the
head of her department at the central city Police Department they could just be looking
for a character to work with Barry at the police station who would eventually learn
about him being the flashing and then join team flash I know they said that there would
be some some romantic things going on between this new character in Barry at a certain point
was probably can happen first is is she'll help team flash out with some science related
problem learn berries the flash and then over time some sort of romantic relationship will
develop and for those that are thinking about Iris West they did say that she and Barry
were going to be a thing in season to shall be morning Eddie's death and it was be way
too weird for them to to do anything so if you're not a big fan of of Barry and Iris
together.don't worry you'll be fine what would really be fun is if they introduced this new
female character she starts helping Barry out slowly learns about the flash starts helping
them they have great chemistry together in that year in the mid season finale Bam she
learns his secret identity the relationship reaches a boiling point we learned the big
villain is of the season that is typically what mid season finale's are for its when
the plot boils over in you get a whole bunch of AutoShip moments both good and bad so now
explain Wendy and Patty's history and the comics just starting with the the Wendy Harris
proxy she's mostly known for being the Barbara Gordon Oracle's protege she eventually
took on the proxy name and became a very Barbara Gordon type character but she actually started
out in the 1970s super friends cartoon She and a character name Marvin White were like the
teenage sidekicks of the super friends they had a pet name wonder dog in 2006 they wrote
her and Marvin into the comics as twins think that they wreck on attempted to make them
biological twins those versions of the characters became the caretakers of the teen Titans mansion
in the in the wake of infinite crisis they were super geniuses all you know almost on
par with brainiac probably not quite as smart as Mr. traffic but you get the idea they didn't
have special powers but they were smarter than most of the Justice league DC also introduced
the wonder dog character but the twist is is that he was a demon ended up killing Marvin
and leaving Wendy in a coma later in Barbara Gordon solo title in the Oracle comic she
wakes up from the coma but she's a paraplegic so Barbara Gordon has to teach her how to
live without the use of her legs and she becomes her protege she learns to be a badass
behind a computer and then it eventually is up helping the Stephanie Brown batgirl and
takes the name proxy relatively speaking though she is a pretty minor character in the comics
so what I'm thinking is is all take some of her character traits and give them to the
Patty Spivot character so like that person on the show that we see will be a combination
of those two people Patty Spivot it also started out back in the 70s but she she has a much
richer comic book history she debuted in 1977 in this comic called DC special series number
one she became Barry's lab assistant at the central city Police Department and almost
had the exact same accident that gave him his flash powers he saved her but then then
later in a daydream he hallucinates her as Ms. flash like what it happened if I had not
saved her so she became one of the first female flashes in the DC universe Andrew Kreisberg
engraver Landy did say we be seeing multiple new flashes in season two is totally possible
they could do a female flash so later in the comics Jeff Johns used her life during his
run this version of the character had a super crush on Barry Allen but he ended up marrying
Iris so they entered into this cannot awkward love triangle in the lead up to flashpoint
she and Barry found a child in a shipping container that turned out to be the reverse
flash would like the aged himself using the negative speed force once he was alone with
Patty later he returned himself to normal age tried to kill her but she was rescued
by the other flashes during flashpoint she took on the hot pursuit persona so she kinda
got speed forth powers,, not really look slightly different she and Bart Allen time traveled
to the future almost got trapped by brainiac she sacrificed herself so that Bart Allen
would get his speed forth powers back so he can go back in time and savor so she she has
a pretty big arc in the new 52 comics her character is pretty much the same except that
Barry never married Iris so he and Patty entered into like a romantic relationship so they
started out like the new 52 flash number 1 as a couple she did not know that Barry was
the flash though but she's working at the central city Police Department as like the
head of blood analysis so she's a pretty important character after guerrilla warfare big you
know Gorilla Grodd storyline she learns the berries the flash in the and they resume the
relationship so right away you know it just seems that there are a couple of easy things
that the TV show could do to adapt some of these Comic Book storylines a lot of that
will depend on the context with which she enters the story like is she going to be working
at the police department will she be replacing Eddie or will she be a scientist whose helping
team flash out there is so many places that they could choose to put her whenever she
starts out for me I'd like to see the character get introduced at the police department so
she gets to know Barry in real life before she gets to know the flash that said Barry's
lab is really cool but they didn't spend a whole lot of time there in season one the
spent most of their time filming inside star labs it feels like if they're going to build
the universe out and Barry needs to have a life outside team flash needs to have people
that he can go to that are not part of team flash these are going to be super awkward
with Iris Yorty has Joe but he needs another female character his age that he can develop
some chemistry with so here's my question for you guys you where do you want this new
female character to start out do you want her to be someone working at the police station
who learns about the flash eventually or do you want her to be a scientist who knows about
the flash right away don't forget the Caitlin Snow might become killer frost in season 2
if she does that she will be leaving team flash so they'll be a giant hole that they'll
have to fill so it just makes sense to have someone working with Barry at the police station
to fill Eddie's role who can later also feel Caitlin's role remember all this is again
a happen at once this is like all spread out over the entire season so I think I'm in a
do for my next flash bonus video is talk about my favorite storylines that I want to see
them do in season two so be sure to subscribe to get that will try and post it next week
