The Flash
Fans have been disappointed by The Flash’s versions of white-and-gold speedster Godspeed so far.
There have been several fakeouts over the past two seasons but that could change
Will the Flash finally meet the one-true Godspeed in season 7?
Yes, you just might…because that’s where we’re going! — showrunner Eric Wallace told TVLine.
A season 7 synopsis hints at it.
After a thrilling cliffhanger which saw the new Mirror Master victorious and still-at-large in Central City, The Flash must regroup in order to stop her and find a way to make contact with his missing wife, Iris. With help from the rest of Team Flash — which includes Caitlin Snow, Cisco Ramon, Ralph Dibny and Nash Wells, as well as the Flash’s adoptive father Joe West, meta-attorney Cecile Horton, tough cub reporter Allegra Garcia and brilliant tech-nerd Chester P. Runk — Flash will ultimately defeat Mirror Master. But in doing so, he’ll also unleash an even more powerful and devastating threat on Central City: one that threatens to tear his team — and his marriage — apart.
Who is Godspeed?
In DC Comics lore, Godspeed is the speedster alter-ego of August Heart, a former CCPD colleague of Barry Allen’s and a new crime-fighting partner. But after Hearst’s brother is murdered, he turns evil.
We met the show’s first faux Godspeed in season 5 when Barry and Iris’s daughter Nora from the future took on a villainous August Heart in 2049. He was a speedster robbing chemical trucks and plants for the ingredients to artificial speed, Velocity 9.

Nora and her timeline were wiped out in the season 5 finale and we met four new faux Godspeeds –who couldn’t speak and only emitted a high frequency sound — in the season 6 premiere of The Flash.
In season 6’s penultimate filmed episode, The Flash battles another faux Godspeed with the Pied Piper’s help.
