Per the press release, Cicada is described as a “…grizzled, blue-collar everyman whose family has been torn apart by metahumans, Cicada now seeks to exterminate the epidemic – one metahuman at a time.” While he won’t be as much of a cult leader as he is in the comics, he will prove to be a real challenge for Barry and the team.…
