The Scarlet Speedster beware:Black Flashis returning toThe Flash!

While technically a villain, Black Flash is more of a personification of Death than a mustache-twirling antagonist.

He will [be] the classic comic book Grim Reaper aspect, Kreisberg says.

Its just going to be on multiple shows.

Hes a classic character and we have storylines on multiple shows that fit having him return.

How do you stop the Devil?

It presents an interesting challenge for the heroes of the respective shows in which he appears.

As of now, onlyThe FlashandDCs Legends of Tomorrowhave speedsters on their shows, but that could certainly change.

As for whether Sears will return to reprise his role, Kreisberg played coy.

Im not sure, Kreisberg said.

Teddy is pretty busy with [24: Legacy].

The Flashreturns Tuesday, Jan. 24 at 8 p.m.

ET on The CW.
