'The Flash' Season 6: Who is Efrat Dor's Eva McCulloch in 'Marathon'?
This article contains spoilers for 'The Flash' Season 6: 'Marathon'
'The Flash' introduced a new mysterious organization, new threats and new characters post 'Crisis on Infinite Earths'. One of the characters was Eva McCulloch. The episode centered around Iris West-Allen (Candice Patton) investigating Black Hole, a shadow organization that deals with meta-human smuggling. The final minutes of the episode see Iris meeting Joseph Carver, the founder of McCulloch Technologies who denies any connection with Black Hole and he runs the company to honor Eva McCulloch, his wife.
Played by Efrat Dor, Eva is yet to be seen in the series. However, according to comic history, her character is based on Evan McCulloch, popularly known as the Mirror Master, one of The Flash's deadly foes. He is the second man to take the identity of Mirror Master after Sam Scudder. The character eventually became a member of The Flash's Rogues Gallery. There have been enough references to Scudder who was seen in Season 3. McCulloch technologies also had fleeting mentions in Season 5 with Jessica Parker Kennedy's Nora West-Allen searching for one of their mirror guns to stop Cicada. The question is: Is she a mirror master?
Evan was also introduced as a character who was an assassin and then switched to working with the FBI in the comics. The storyline for the TV series starting with the gender swap will definitely be a whole lot different. At the moment, a lot of it is yet to be explained and it is established that old foes are resurfacing even on a rebirthed multiverse. For now, it remains to be seen how team Flash tackles this new threat.
What are your thoughts on Eva McCulloch? Is she a mirror master?
'The Flash' airs Tuesdays 8 pm on The CW.
