From the moment it was announced, Robbie Amell’s return to The Flash was something that fans of The CW series were very excited about. After all, while his character Ronnie Raymond’s time had been brief, his lasting impact as one of the original halves of Firestorm as well as the love of Caitlin Snow’s (Danielle Panabaker) life remained. Ronnie had sacrificed himself to save Central City and Caitlin had never really gotten over the loss of her husband. However, by the end of “Resurrection” the excitement for Ronnie’s return had turned to horror as it was revealed that Ronnie really was gone. Instead, the entity Team Flash had been dealing with as the Black Flame and that Caitlin had “resurrected” is actually Deathstorm and now the terrifying entity is free to cause even more chaos and harm. But while Deathstorm is terrifying in his own right, the reveal of the character had many fans wondering if The Flash was setting the groundwork for a larger story, one that could serve as a perfect ending for the idea of the Arrowverse as we know it: Blackest Night.
