'The Flash': Here's what season 5 big bad Cicada looks like in Episode 2 new images

Portrayed by actor Chris Klein ('American Pie'), Cicada aka David Hersch ironically is not a metahuman. Rather he is someone whose family has been torn apart by metahumans

Usually, the villains in 'The Flash' are speedsters who are either after Barry Allen and the team or they are described as a big bad, only to be humanized later on. In season five though, the showrunners are shaking up the order of things a bit to introduce a very different, "grizzled, blue-collar everyman" antagonist, called Cicada.

Portrayed by actor Chris Klein ('American Pie'), Cicada aka David Hersch ironically is not a metahuman. Rather he is someone, "whose family has been torn apart by metahumans" and who now "seeks to exterminate the epidemic — one metahuman at a time". While we have only heard about the might and powers of Cicada so far, the CW recently released some images revealing what the next Barry Allen nemesis would look like.
