The Flash has teased out the Godspeed plot thread long enough, and it’ll start to get boring if it goes on much longer. Yes, the character was already seen as a regular human in his initial appearance as a lab tech in 2049 who was defeated by Nora, but after “ Crisis On Infinite Earths” rebooted the timeline, any changes to the established continuity are now viable. The synopsis for season 7 states that Team Flash’s battle against Mirror Mistress will end up unleashing “an even more powerful and devastating threat.” The notion of creating an artificial Speed Force to return Barry to full strength has been a periodic narrative point, and with August’s comic book origin, it’s possible the team’s endeavors will inadvertently birth the villain. August gains speedster powers himself after being struck by lightning from a Speed Force storm, and having lost faith in the justice system, decides to use his abilities to kill criminals instead. August Heart was a CCPD detective whose brother was murdered, with the killer being subsequently freed after evidence against him was lost in the lightning strike that destroyed Barry’s lab and gave him his powers. Godspeed is a very recent comic book creation, debuting in 2016 in the first issue of The Flash: Rebirth.
