The CW continues to
build up the cast for the second season of The Flash. The network has announced
that Demore Barnes will be joining the series as the Firestorm villain Henry
Hewitt, also known as Tokamak, "a charming,
but cocky scientist who was affected by the same Particle Accelerator explosion
that created the Flash. When Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker) recruits
him to join the team at S.T.A.R. Labs, Hewitt jumps at the opportunity to
fulfill his destiny as a powerful meta-human."
In
the comics, Hewitt was the corrupt CEO of an energy conglomerate that tried to
manipulate the congress into manipulating the market on his behalf. He later kidnapped
the daughter of a senator to try to recreate the accident that created
Firestorm. He succeeds, and she become Firehawk. He then tried it on himself
and became Tokamak, a super villain able to manipulate energy and fly.
Barnes is best known
for his roles on The Unit, Supernatural, XIII: The Series, Hemlock Grove, and
12 Monekys.
