Does Alchemy Worship Savitar, the New Enemy on 'The Flash'?
- 7 years ago
et another monster speedster has entered The Flash, but this time, he’s not alone. At the end of this week’s episode “Shade”, Doctor Alchemy (Tobin Bell of Saw) revealed he’s in cahoots with Savitar, the God of Speed, who kind of looks like the evil spawn of Zoom and Megatron from Transformers. Together, they’ve been restoring people’s powers from the Flashpoint timeline.
Little is known about Savitar in the DC TV universe, but perhaps his comic book origin — namely the fact he’s a cult demigod — can offer a insight into his relationship with Alchemy. Created by Mark Waid and Oscar Jimenez during their acclaimed run on The Flash in the ‘90s, Savitar was an unnamed Eastern European pilot selected to test an experimental supersonic jet. Struck by lightning during flight, the plane crashed but the pilot survived, along with access to the Speed Force.
Naming himself “Savitar” after the Hindu god of motion, Savitar sought to learn the Speed Force and became a cult leader in the process. In comics, Savitar first fought Johnny Quick, a Golden Age superhero who is the father of Jesse Quick (played by Violett Beane in the series). Savitar then fights Wally West, who teams up with every speedster alive including Impulse, Jay Garrick, XS, and Max Mercury to take him down. Around this time, Savitar also recruits a woman named Christina Alexandrova, a member of the Blue Trinity — a prototype team for the Russian team Red Trinity — to become Lady Savitar.
