In the trailer for next week's episode of The Flash, "The New Rogues," fans got their first look at Mirror Master, one of the speedster's most notorious rogues -- and one who looks like he's going to be much more true to his comic book roots than the previosu live-action version (played by David Cassidy on 1990's The Flash).
And while the character is certainly a pretty major part of the episode (at least based on the way they're promoting it in the trailer, seen here), he's far from the only threat next week, as the episode brings back Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold and also introduces Ashley Rickards as The Top.
While Rickards is no relation to Emily Bett Rickards as far as we can tell, David Cassidy -- the original Mirror Master -- is actually the father of Arrow's Katie Cassidy (the Black Canary).
You can check the synopsis out below, and some (admittedly low-quality) images of Mirror Master taken from the trailer in the attached image gallery.
Some of the shots seem to show Mirror Master appearing before a workman, while others see him with a woman -- who looks to be probably a hostage? It's hard to tell since they're barely there.
Grey Damon, who has previously appeared on Friday Night Lights and Star-Crossed, will play the role of Sam Scudder, the original Mirror Master created in the Silver Age. The character has the ability to manipulate mirrors and other reflective surfaces to a number of ends, including creating custom weapons, altering his appearance, mind control, and -- perhaps most common -- using them as a medium to travel through, so that he can avoid being captured by the much-faster Flash.
"One of the Flash's most infamous Rogues, Sam Scudder -- aka Mirror Master -- is a smooth criminal with a huge ego. Upon discovering he now has the power to travel through any reflective surface, Scudder embarks on a massive crime spree to prove himself the greatest thief that Central City has ever seen," says the character description from Warner Bros. Television.
WENTWORTH MILLER RETURNS AS CAPTAIN COLD; MIRROR MASTER AND THE TOP BATTLE WITH THE FLASH — Barry (Grant Gustin) continues to train Jesse (guest star Violett Beane) and when a new meta human, Mirror Master (guest star Grey Damon), appears on the scene he lets her tag along. Mirror Master has teamed up with his old partner, Top (guest star Ashley Rickards), and is looking for Snart (Wentworth Miller) to even a score. Jesse is quick to join the chase but defies one of Barry's orders which results in disastrous consequences.
Stefan Pleszczynski directed the episode written by Benjamin Raab & Deric A. Hughes.
The Flash airs at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Tuesdays on The CW. "The New Rogues" will debut on October 25.
