Back in December, someone donning a costume that resembles the one Earth-19 (where H.R. comes from) speedster the Accelerated Man wears was spotted on the set of The Flash. He wore a red pilot’s suit and matching cap with goggles, as well as yellow boots and gloves and a white belt and mouth covering.

Up until now, we weren’t 100% sure if it was the Accelerated Man or when this costumed-character would appear in the show.

Below, you can check out the first official photo of Accelerated Man.
Earth-19 is the Earth of the DC Comics multiverse where the story in the popular Gotham by Gaslight graphic novel, DC Comics’ first ever Elseworlds tale, took place.
