Cicada

Cicada is a cult-leading villain who terrorized Keystone City in The Flash's rogues' gallery. Obsessed with the life-force of those saved by the Flash, he built a murderous following around a twisted belief that their deaths could fuel his own immortality.

A chilling presence born from the Modern Age of DC Comics, Cicada made their mark in Flash #180 (2002), introduced by the legendary team of Geoff Johns and Scott Kolins during one of the most celebrated runs on the Scarlet Speedster's title. Sharing the pages with the likes of The Flash, Wally West, Trickster, and Peek-a-Boo, this villain carved out a genuinely unsettling corner of the Flash's rogues' gallery. Collected in the prestigious Flash Omnibus by Geoff Johns, Cicada may have a compact catalog footprint, but their debut in that landmark run makes them a character any serious Flash reader will want to know.
