Flash’s season 7 easter eggs introduce Arrowverse’s negative Flash. Nearly a year after Season 6 ended abruptly due to the pandemic and its subsequent pause, The Flash picks up where the previous season left off. With Iris West-Allen still stuck in the Mirrorverse, Eva McCulloch (aka Mirror Mistress) roaming freely in the real world, and Barry Allen at just 1% Speed, there’s a lot more work to do in the season’s premiere 7. There is, however, a neat reference in the episode to an easter egg in the comics that could set up the next plot after the mirror universe arc ends.
Some time after Senior Flash debuted, Chester P. Runk and Allegra Garcia made a meaningful appearance at the Season 7 premiere, titled “All’s Wells That Ends Wells.” While monitoring STAR lab communications in case of any emergency, Chester was engrossed in a book by Dr. Meena Dhawan called Quantum Gravity & the Universe. Chester speaks to the author as if she were there, clearly interested in the ideas and concepts Meena writes about, while also expressing some of his own thoughts about the universe and its neural connections. It.
While the timing doesn’t fit the episode’s plot, it does hint at the possibility of a Negative Flash. In the comics, Meena Dhawan made her debut in 2016’s The Flash #3 as a scientist at STAR Labs, gaining speed powers and helping train others with similar abilities. Meena fights Godspeed, a speedrunner who intends to steal other people’s speed, before being kidnapped by the Black Hole. Upon emerging, she steals the Negative Speed Force – an artificial energy source created by Eobard Thawne/Reverse-Flash – from Barry’s powers, becoming Negative Speed.
Flash first introduced the concept of the Force of Negative Speed in season 5, when Nora West-Allen, daughter of Barry and Iris, used it to travel back to the present from 2049. Reverse-Flash taught. She connects with the Force Negative Speed, also relying on Nora summoning her negative emotions for extra power. Although the connection with the Force of Negative Speed eventually led to Nora’s death, it looks like it will return in Season 7. Considering that Godspeed is confirmed to return in season 7, the easter egg about Meena may foreshadow her arrival and potential. teamed up with the villain Speedster.
While Barry, Iris and Team Flash can defeat Mirror Mistress, Black Hole can survive. In addition, the question of why Godspeed withdraws speed remains unanswered despite appearing a few times. Mina can be introduced as someone who has been brainwashed by a black hole. Maybe she was working at Eva’s tech company before things went awry and she turned into Negative Flash. Instead, she could be the Negative Lightning and actually behind all the different versions of Godspeed. Maybe she can’t maintain her powers and needs more, which is why she’s been hunting Barry since season 6. After all, negative speed forces can have a negative effect. to one person. Either way, the Easter egg in the season 7 premiere of The Flash confirmed Mina’s presence in the Arrowverse and paved the way for her to become the future Negative Lightning.
