>Looks like both Caitlin and Cisco will be making the acquaintance of a fellow scientist, since the CW series — in addition to casting a new baddie who will reportedly be "diverse" — is busy filling the role of a socially awkward, African-American genius in math and science, who specifically is a bit obsessed with aliens and their tech.

Any guesses as to who this may be, Yea Forums?
Also, aliens confirmed for season 6, it seems.
>Curtis 2.0
pls no
Does the Flash even have any notable alien villains?
Better yet, other than the Dominators (and Supergirl), have aliens even shown up on Earth-1?
Why not just bring Hartley back?
Nope, but then again the earths will be merged in the Crisis.
>Any guesses as to who this may be, Yea Forums?
Cyborg, or a Black Blue Beetle
The actor is probably busy, he's a Broadway performer.
>Cisco
I thought he left the show?
>a socially awkward, African-American genius in math and science
I hate the 'socially awkward' genius trope more than anything in the world.
>I thought he left the show?
Nope, he just gave up his powers. Probably an actor request.
Aren't they using Cyborg for Doom Patrol tho?
>the role of a socially awkward, African-American genius in math and science
YOU ALREADY FUCKING SHAT ON LUKE FOX FOR THIS SHIT
Just remember if it weren't for the kino TV series, CW would've gotten their filthy paws on Doom Patrol and ruined it.
And yet it's on the verge of cancellation while the Arrowverse is still going strong.
I bet it’s going to be Static.
>African-American genius in math and science who specifically is a bit obsessed with aliens and their tech.
Hmm, are there any red heads left to convert?
Oh, wait. Alexander Luthor. We are heading for a Crisis after all.
This show will never end
Not really, DP got renewed for a second season. Its clearly got an audience.
Black guy who's into alien tech could be this dude.
>DP got renewed for a second season.
Barely.
It seems like Steel would fit more with Supergirl, maybe post-Crisis they team up because John found out Leviathan tech is what he's been working with.
>This
>"Socially awkward"
It can still be cancelled. Jessica Jones still got a third season.
>CW and Greg Berlanti seem to constantly emasculate black male characters who're otherwise manly.
What did they mean by this?
Just because the character is confirmed to be black doesn't mean the character he's based on was originally so.
