Who is Chillblaine on 'The Flash'?
Chillblaine (played through Jon Cor within the CW sequence) was first introduced to the DC Comics in 1991 in The Flash Annual (Volume 2) #4. He's in truth a sidekick and romantic passion for Captain Cold's sister, Golden Glider. Glider basically blasts him together with her brother's cold gun and he turns into Chillblaine. There had been 4 Chillblaines and best the remaining one was in point of fact a supervillain. The first three had been killed in battle or discarded.
All Chillblaines have been known for his or her appears and not for their brains. They do not really have superpowers or abilities of their very own — nor do they have got a nemesis. However, the fourth Chillblaine went rogue and murdered Glider for her freeze technology, and Captain Cold (often referred to as Leonard) avenged his sister through killing Chillblaine.

The CW's Chillblaine will likely be tremendous other from the comedian book version. In the Arrowverse, Glider (often referred to as Lisa) gave the impression simplest within the early seasons of The Flash (the same is going for Leonard), and her romantic passion was Cisco, no longer Chillblaine. Leonard ended up demise as an act of sacrifice in Season 1 of Legends of Tomorrow, so he would possibly not be killing Chillblaine this time around. According to IMDb, it does not appear to be Lisa (played via Peyton List) is returning this season.

So what is Chillblaine up to in The Flash, if his storyline has nothing to do with Captain Cold or Golden Glider? It turns out like it's going to be extra targeted on Chillblaine and Frost since he set her up. "Let’s see how she deals with having a villain who has essentially the exact same powers," showrunner Eric Wallace told CBR. He added, "First of all, that’s gotta be really annoying!”
