Publication history

Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, the character first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #1 (March 1963),^[2] making him the first member of Spider-Man's rogues' gallery, based on issue publication date,^[3][4] excluding the burglar who murdered Ben Parker (Supercharger was the first Spider-Man supervillain chronologically^[5]). He is also well known to be related to Kraven the Hunter. That revealed relationship helped evolve him as a major villain compared to his original depiction of being just a solo villain in the original issue of The Amazing Spider-Man.^[6][7][8]

Fictional character biography

The Chameleon was born a Soviet citizen named Dmitri Smerdyakov (Дмитрий Смердяков). In his youth, he was a servant and half-brother to Sergei Kravinoff and eventually became a minor associate to Gustav Fiers. Although Dmitri and Sergei were friends, Sergei was often abusive to Smerdyakov, leading to a combination of admiration and resentment towards Kravinoff. Eventually, Smerdyakov emigrated to the United States of America. As he had made a talent for himself during his youth, impressing his brother by impersonating friends and neighbors, he assumed an even more impressive disguise: the identity of Chameleon. During his first known criminal outing, he impersonated Spider-Man, though he was exposed and arrested. Shortly afterward, Kraven the Hunter himself came to America, and the Chameleon set his old associate's sights on Spider-Man.^[9] Both men became long-time enemies of Spider-Man, part of his primary rogues' gallery.

The Chameleon inspired Kraven to begin hunting Spider-Man, inviting Kraven to dispose of the hero.^[10] With Kraven, the Chameleon battled Iron Man,^[11] and then confronted the Hulk.^[12] At one point, the Chameleon disguised himself as Hank Pym, and robbed Pym's laboratory for documents to combat Virus Nine. While delivering the documents and a shrunken Hulk to HYDRA, he was encountered and defeated by Ant-Man.^[13] The Chameleon disguised himself as the Torpedo and battled Daredevil.^[14]

When Kraven the Hunter committed suicide,^[15] the Chameleon became obsessed with making Spider-Man suffer for his failure to prevent Kraven from killing himself. He ingested a serum which made his face permanently featureless and malleable. He attempted to kidnap America's leading expert on superconductors, but was thwarted by Spider-Man.^[16] He then kidnapped J. Jonah Jameson. He approached the Maggia for support to become New York's new crime lord, and formed an alliance with Hammerhead.^[17] Disguised as a scientist, the Chameleon temporarily removed Spider-Man's powers. He allied himself with the Femme Fatales, the Scorpion, and Tarantula to eliminate Spider-Man and the Black Cat, but escaped when his plan failed.^[18]

The Chameleon's most ambitious play against Spider-Man happened when he formed an alliance with Harry Osborn as the Green Goblin. Before Harry's death, he told Chameleon Spider-Man's secret identity could be found through Peter Parker, to construct androids of Peter's parents; Chameleon later admitted that he went through with the plot to confirm once and for all that Peter was Spider-Man. The plan led to a psychotic breakdown for both Spider-Man and Chameleon, Spider-Man briefly renouncing his civilian identity while Chameleon is sent to Ravencroft Asylum.^{[volume & issue needed]} However, when Doctor Ashley Kafka sneaks him into a basement to try to continue treating him in the belief that he was close to a breakthrough when the court were preparing to put him on trial, Chameleon escaped and attempted to convince Spider-Man that he was actually a hallucinating writer who had suffered a mental breakdown after his daughter's death in a car accident, but Peter managed to break through this deception due to his own strength of will.^[19] Chameleon's confirmation of Spider-Man's secret identity led him to try to attack Spider-Man through his family and friends, but this effort met with rather dismal results when Mary Jane Watson subdued him with a baseball bat.^[20] Somewhere in between this and subsequent appearances, he appeared to have been destroyed by his nephew Alyosha Kravinoff; Alyosha later threw a Chameleon mask at Spider-Man's feet, referring to it as 'That weakling Dmitri' but apparently recovered, waking in a hospital.^{[volume & issue needed]}

After tricking Spider-Man to the bridge where Gwen Stacy's death occurred, on the pretext of having kidnapped his wife, he declared his own loneliness and love for Peter. When Peter laughed, he threw himself off the bridge.^[21] He reappeared some time later in a mental institution, completely incapacitated, believing himself to be Sergei Kravinoff rather than Dmitri Smerdyakov.^{[volume & issue needed]} He later reappeared in his Chameleon identity as part of the Sinister Twelve villain team organized by Norman Osborn as the Green Goblin.^[22]

After Spider-Man was unmasked, the Chameleon gathered a gang of villains called the Exterminators,^[1] including Will O' The Wisp, Scarecrow, Swarm, and Electro and also blackmailed the Molten Man into his employ all in an effort to defeat Spider-Man and attack his family.^{[volume & issue needed]}

However, the Chameleon was dealt a most humiliating defeat at the hands of Aunt May, when he attempted to trick her into believing he was Peter, then murder her. However, May was not fooled by any means, and defeated the villain with a plate of oatmeal-raisin cookies laced with Ambien. The Rhino was also employed as part of the team up and later defeated Spider-Man only to be unable to collect payment from Chameleon as he was already captured.^[23]

After the 'Civil War,' Chameleon showed up among the villains at Stilt-Man's funeral at the Bar with No Name where Punisher poisoned the drinks and blew up the bar.^[24]

The Chameleon next appeared in the newest incarnation of Super Villain Team-Up, called MODOK's Eleven. In this limited series it is revealed that he contacted A.I.M. the moment he was telepathically summoned by MODOK. He then allowed A.I.M. to send in their newest creation the Ultra-Adaptoid under the guise of being the Chameleon.^{[volume & issue needed]} Additionally, it was revealed in Super Villain Team-Up: MODOK's Eleven that his apparent insanity and demise years earlier were in fact well-crafted ruses designed so that he could fade into the background once more.^{[volume & issue needed]}

The 'One More Day' storyline ended with the removal of Peter and Mary Jane's timeline from all memories, and no one knows Spider-Man's identity.^[25]

The Chameleon returns to New York more sadistic and sociopathic than ever before. To complete his hired goal of bombing City Hall, he kidnaps and takes the identity of Peter Parker who works for Mayor J. Jonah Jameson. While posing as Parker, he tries to better his life, revealing that he always tries to rectify the problems in the lives of his 'faces'.^[26] Using Peter's security clearance to get access to various materials, Chameleon was poised to bomb City Hall before Peter escaped and thwarted his plans as Spider-Man. During the resulting confusion, Chameleon escaped.^[27]

Sometime later at an alley building during 'The Gauntlet and Grim Hunt' storyline, a distraught Chameleon is met by Kraven the Hunter's wife Sasha Kravinoff and her daughter Ana Kravinoff who want his help in avenging the death of her husband.^[28] Various follow up issues during The Gauntlet storyline show Chameleon helping the Kravinoff family into creating an alliance of Spider-Man's enemies as well as Diablo.^[29] First, he and Sasha managed to spring Electro from prison.^[30] Then Chameleon approached Mysterio stating that he has friends that are 'dying' to meet him.^[31] When it came to the Grim Hunt part, he posed as Ezekiel in order to get close to Spider-Man, defeat him, and bring him to the Kravinoffs in order to sacrifice him as part of a ritual that will revive Sergei Kravinoff.^[32] After Sergei is resurrected, the Chameleon states that the problem might stem from inward anger of being resurrected. He and the Kravinoffs discover Spider-Man's corpse, which turns out to be Kaine in Spider-Man's costume instead.^[33] The real Spider-Man goes to take revenge on the Kravenoff family. Spider-Man soon arrives and pulled Chameleon and Alyosha into the huge nest of spiders. Sasha realizes that the Kravinoff family wasn't hunting the spiders, but it was the spiders hunting them.^[34]

During the 'Origin of the Species' storyline, Chameleon is invited by Doctor Octopus to join his supervillain team where he becomes involved in securing some specific items for him. He poses as Harry Osborn to trick Spider-Man by telling him that Menace's infant has died. When Spider-Man has been away, Chameleon got the infant.^[35] Doctor Octopus later talks with the Chameleon saying that the baby is the first of a new species. Using a lead gained when he took down Shocker, Spider-Man arrives at the Kravinoff Mansion where he captures Chameleon who reveals that the baby is still alive and is in the clutches of the Lizard.^[36]

Chameleon later becomes a member of Doctor Octopus's latest incarnation of the Sinister Six. He poses as Captain Steve Rogers in order to infiltrate an Air Force base.^[37] Chameleon disguises himself as a tribal chief when he and Mysterio pull off a zombie pirate attack on some natives.^[38] Using robots of the other Sinister Six members, Chameleon and Mysterio pulled off this scheme as a diversion so that Doctor Octopus and the other Sinister Six members can infiltrate the Baxter Building to look for specific technology plans while the Future Foundation were investigating the more obvious threat.^[39]

Chameleon later poses as Klaw in order to infiltrate Intelligencia so that he can help the Sinister Six steal their Zero Cannon.^[40]

During the 'Ends of the Earth' storyline, Chameleon was present with the Sinister Six when Doctor Octopus tells them his master plan.^[41] Chameleon was present at Palazzo Senatorio at a summit where the world's greatest minds and the world leaders is carried out to discuss about Doctor Octopus' supposed offer to save the world with Chameleon disguised as Al Gore. As Al Gore, Chameleon states that Doctor Octopus would save them. Without a counter-argument, Spider-Man punches Al Gore and reveals to everyone present that Al Gore is actually Chameleon in disguise. Spider-Man stated that his new costume could detect which person is actually Chameleon based on his heartbeat. A transmission from Doctor Octopus states that he has activated the Octavian Lens which are blocking the harmful UV rays from the sun in order to reinforce his offer. After letting Chameleon go, Spider-Man secretly places a Spider-Tracer on Chameleon so that he and the Avengers could follow him. They follow Chameleon to the Mediterranean Coasts where the rest of the Sinister Six is waiting for Chameleon. Using many of the stolen objects, the Sinister Six successfully subdue the Avengers leaving only Spider-Man standing.^[42] After Spider-Man and the Black Widow escape with the help of Silver Sable, Chameleon suggest that since the remaining members of the Sinister Six had each received their $2 billion and their criminal records expunged, they should just leave Doctor Octopus and his scheme. However, they stay on board as that would make an enemy out of Doctor Octopus. The Chameleon later gets involved with Mysterio in tricking Spider-Man and his allies into thinking they were destroying Symkaria, in order to give Doctor Octopus more time to complete his 200 satellites. However, the Chameleon is captured and the Black Widow threatens to reveal the secret behind his real face.^[43]

Following the 'Dying Wish' storyline, Chameleon later fights Superior Spider-Man (Otto Octavius's mind in Spider-Man's body) and the Secret Avengers on the S.H.I.E.L.D.Helicarrier.^[44] Chameleon ends up knocked unconscious and Superior Spider-Man transports him to his hidden underwater lab where he ends up imprisoned.^[45] Chameleon, Electro, Sandman, Mysterion, and the Vulture are later seen as part of a team led by Superior Spider-Man called the 'Superior Six'. Superior Spider-Man has been temporarily controlling their minds in order to redeem them for their crimes. He does this by forcing them do heroic deeds against their will which almost get some of them killed. Every time he is done controlling them, he puts them back in their containment cells.^[46] They eventually break free of Superior Spider-Man's control and attempt to exact revenge on the wall-crawler, while nearly destroying New York in order to do so.^[47] With the help of Sun Girl, Superior Spider-Man is barely able to stop the Superior Six.^[48]

Following the return of the true Spider-Man, Chameleon attempts to drive Spider-Man insane as revenge for the Superior Spider-Man's treatment of him during the events of 'Superior Six'. However, Spider-Man's ally Deadpool switches costumes with Spider-Man, with Chameleon unaware of this. He fails at driving 'Spider-Man' insane (as Deadpool is already insane), and ends up being shot in the leg by him. Both heroes (in each other's costumes) punch the Chameleon at the same time, knocking him out and later delivered him to the authorities.^[49]

At the conclusion of the 'Hunted' storyline, Chameleon is revealed to be one of the attendees at Kraven the Hunter's funeral as he is pleased that Kraven the Hunter spared him from the Great Hunt. As he walks away, Chameleon quotes to his dead stepbrother to sleep well and states 'You needn't worry. The world is no longer your burden. Besides, there won't be much of it left soon..Not by the time I've finished.'^[50]

Powers and abilities

Originally, the Chameleon had no superhuman powers and simply used makeup and elaborate costuming to impersonate his targets. In order to do this, he implemented a device in a belt buckle that emitted a gas that helped him mold his features. Later, the Chameleon obtained a microcomputer from Spencer Smythe for his belt buckle that could be programmed with the facial features of hundreds of people.^{[volume & issue needed]} The belt buckle also contains a video receiver that enables the computer to analyze the appearance of anyone the Chameleon encounters so that it can duplicate his/her features using electrical impulses. The computer utilizes holographic technology that allowed him to change his appearance at the push of a button. His electronic devices allowed him to appear as two different people to two separate observers simultaneously. The Chameleon's costume consists of 'memory material' that can be altered by electrical impulses from his belt so as to resemble the clothing of the person he is impersonating.

Later, the Chameleon's powers are made innate: his skin pigmentation have been surgically and mutagenically altered by a serum so that he can take on the appearance of any person at will.^{[volume & issue needed]} He also wears fabric made of memory material that responds to nerve impulses and can appear to be whatever costume he wishes to be.

When his past friendship with Kraven the Hunter was revealed, it was also revealed that the Chameleon had taken the same serums that Kraven had taken over the years.^{[volume & issue needed]} This would suggest that the two characters were of a similar age (over 70 years old). It would also suggest that the Chameleon's physical strength and endurance could be somewhat augmented, but as the Chameleon's strength is much lower than that of Kraven, his augmentations may not reach a superhuman level.

Aside from his physical advantages, the Chameleon is a master of disguise, and a brilliant method actor and impressionist. He is also a master of creating lifelike masks and make-up. He is a quick-change artist who can assume a new disguise in less than a minute, although he no longer needs to use such skills. He also speaks several languages fluently. Although the Chameleon is not a scientific genius, during his increased lifespan he has been exposed to a wide array of sophisticated experimental technology, much of which he can apply effectively in his nefarious schemes.

In his 2010 appearances in The Amazing Spider-Man, writer Fred Van Lente placed a stronger emphasis on his skills of disguise rather than his superhuman powers. In this portrayal, Chameleon kidnaps people and brutally kills them by dumping them in an acid bath. From listening to them beg for their lives, he alters his pitch to sound exactly alike and takes a face print to make into a mask. This more chilling Chameleon also seeks to fix the lives of his 'faces', attempting to rectify the problems of their lives while he poses as them as a part of some warped heroic view of himself.^{[volume & issue needed]}

Other versions

Chameleon 2099

In Marvel 2099, a designer drug that causes its users to involuntarily shapeshift in response to whatever emotion they are feeling at the time is nicknamed 'Chameleon'. After fighting an addict (who turned into a bull-like monster when angered and a mouse-like creature when frightened) at Woodstock 2099, the era's Spider-Man tracks down the distributor of Chameleon, a hippy known as Major Jones. While battling Jones and his minions, Spider-Man accidentally knocks the dealer into his supply of the drug, causing him to mutate into an amorphous blob, the new Chameleon.^[51]

Chameleon 2211

A version of Chameleon appeared in Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. He has the powers of physically changing into any shape or form after accessing their DNA. This usually involves sampling their blood after killing the subject, although less lethal methods are possible; he was able to change into Sandman after an accidental ingestion of some of his sand.^{[volume & issue needed]}

Chameleon encounters an alternate Uncle Ben from another future who has been transferred into the 'main' timelined by Hobgoblin of 2211, attempting to influence Ben to kill Edwin Jarvis for his current involvement with this timeline's May Parker by arguing that, since the multiverse means every action possible is being committed, you might as well do what feels good. When Ben rejects the suggestion, Chameleon kills and replaces him. This fools Spider-Man 2211 whom he then kills when he arrives to try to return 'Ben' to his reality. After discovering the body, Sandman's father was framed for Ben's murder, and Sandman went to Spider-Man for help.^{[volume & issue needed]}

The two encountered Chameleon at Peter's high school (Chameleon had murdered the principal and was posing as him), where Chameleon reveals that he wasn't human at all but a giant monster. Chameleon was finally defeated, however, after Spider-Man (of Earth 616) used Spider-Man 2211's helmet to literally 'administer poetic justice', causing a last-minute body switch between Chameleon and Sandman's father into an electric chair.^[52]

Counter-Earth

Spider-Man faces the Counter-Earth version of The Chameleon in Spider-Man Unlimited #5. This Chameleon, a reptilian Bestial, is a depraved serial killer who both Spider-Man and a bestial Wolverine team-up to defeat.^[53]

Ultimate Marvel

An Ultimate version of Chameleon appears in Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man as twin siblings with the ability to shape-shift. One poses first as J. Jonah Jameson,^[54] and later Spider-Man, while the other keeps the real Jameson and Peter Parker restrained.^[54] They are defeated by Johnny Storm and Bobby Drake, and imprisoned in the Triskelion.^[55]

Marvel Action Hour: Iron Man

In Iron Man during The Marvel Action Hour, the Chameleon appeared in #4 of the cartoon based comic in service to Justin Hammer. He used his transformation abilities to obtain the Grim Reaper weapon from Stark Enterprises.

Marvel Noir

In Spider-Man Noir, Dmitri Smerdyakov (a.k.a. The Chameleon) is depicted as a former Coney Island freak working for mob boss Norman Osborn (a.k.a. 'The Goblin'). Like his mainstream counterpart, he has the ability to alter his features to imitate any individual, although this ability stems from his clay-like malleable features rather than any technological advantages. Osborn has him impersonate J. Jonah Jameson in order to eliminate Ben Urich and set a trap for Spider-Man. He was killed by Felicia Hardy when she witnesses him as Jameson killing Ben.^[56]

In other media

Television

• Chameleon's first animated appearance was in The Marvel Super Heroes, voiced by Tom Harvey.^[57][58] He was seen in the Iron Man segment episode 'Cliffs of Doom', working with Kraven the Hunter to steal Tony Stark's magneton laser. Chameleon is also seen in The Incredible Hulk segment episode 'Enter the Chameleon'.
• Chameleon appeared in the 1980s Spider-Man, voiced by John H. Mayer.^[59][60] In the episode 'Arsenic and Aunt May', he met a relative of the man that shotUncle Ben. Chameleon poses as Ben's ghost with his female associate posing as a gypsy to manipulate Aunt May into killing Spider-Man.^[61]

• Chameleon was a featured villain in Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, voiced by Hans Conried.^[62] In the episode 'Seven Little Superheroes', he lured Spider-Man, Iceman, Firestar, Captain America, Doctor Strange, Sub-Mariner and Shanna the Jungle Queen to the remote Wolf Island to pick them off one by one. He is foiled by Miss Lion (Aunt May's dog who had tagged along with Spider-Man on the trip). MTV News stated of the episode, 'To many, this is the quintessential episode of the series, made better by the intense cackling of Hans Conried as the Chameleon. (Conried was made infamous by his role as Captain Hook in Peter Pan.)'^[63]
• Chameleon appeared as a recurring villain in the 1990s Spider-Man animated series, having no speaking lines in his true form yet voiced by multiple voice actors via matching whomever he is impersonating. An international hitman and spy, this version wore a belt-mounted camera device, which is capable of capturing a person's image, so that he can turn into that person as a form of disguise. This proved to be his undoing in his first appearance: he copied an image of Nick Fury from a Daily Bugle front page which had been inadvertently flipped. Thus, Fury's eyepatch was on the wrong side and Spider-Man pointed out to the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents he was an impostor. During all this, Mary Jane Watson met Chameleon, disguised as Peter Parker, and asked him to come to a Shakespeare play. Chameleon kissed Mary Jane on the lips passionately to hide from S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Mary Jane kissed Chameleon back, thinking that he was Peter and thought he promised to come to the play. Chameleon, disguised as Peter, later attempted to kill two diplomats at a U.N. conference, but was foiled by Spider-Man, easily picking him out from the crowd as he had taken Peter's appearance. In 'The Insidious Six' two-parter, Chameleon later becomes a member of the Insidious Six where he took the form of a prison guard to free Shocker, Scorpion, Mysterio, Rhino and Doctor Octopus from the prison cells. During all this, Chameleon impersonated various individuals; the Kingpin only to say one sentence, Hammerhead to help kidnap Silvermane, Silvermane to trick Silvermane's henchmen, and even Aunt May to mess with Spider-Man.^[64] In the episodes 'Framed' and 'The Man Without Fear', Chameleon works for Richard Fisk, framing Peter for getting restricted government information. Chameleon even posed as Spider-Man to abduct Peter from the paddy wagon outside of the courthouse after the first half of Parker's trial. It is revealed that Chameleon is jailed in a S.H.I.E.L.D. prison and was assigned by the Kingpin to impersonate and release John Hardy, using his newfound ability to take on different forms without his camera device. After Parker's name is cleared by Spider-Man and Daredevil, Chameleon as well as Richard and rogue Federal Agent Susan Choi are arrested, put on trial, and sentenced to prison.^[65] In the episode 'Six Forgotten Warriors', Chameleon was sprung from prison by Kingpin and the Insidious Six in order to find the keys to the Red Skull's doomsday device. When Red Skull was freed from the time dilation loophole, it was revealed that Chameleon is Red Skull's stepson. In the end, Electro along with Red Skull and Captain America were trapped in a time dilation loophole and Chameleon escaped.^[66]
• Chameleon appears in The Spectacular Spider-Man animated series, voiced by Steven Blum.^[67] This version uses lifelike masks much like his original iteration. His first chronological appearance was in the episode 'The Uncertainty Principle' where a business competitor hired him to disguise himself as Norman Osborn and steal Oscorp's secrets. In the episode 'Persona', he is hired by an unnamed general to steal the symbiote and disguised himself as Curt Connors to commit the deed but failed due to a battle between Spider-Man and the Black Cat. He later masquerades as Spider-Man to commit various crimes and lay the blame on the web-slinger. His henchmen are Quentin Beck using special effects techniques to make it appear that Chameleon has all of Spider-Man's powers, and Phineas Mason using inventions to help commit the crimes and secretly photograph them and give the pictures to the Daily Bugle. Spidey teams up with Black Cat to defeat the impersonator but escapes by masquerading as Stan Carter. In the series finale 'Final Curtain', Chameleon is disguised as Norman once again. His impersonation is ultimately revealed after Spider-Man rips off the Green Goblin's mask which reveals Norman. Harry Osborn remembers Norman apologizing to Spider-Man earlier (as Norman never apologizes to anyone), realizing this to which Harry yanks at his face mask and reveals the impostor. Chameleon then bails by jumping out of the helicopter with a parachute after saying 'I did not sign in for this'.
• Chameleon appears in Spider-Man, voiced by Patton Oswalt.^[68] This version uses a device implanted into his mask to shapeshift into another person. In the episode 'Bring on the Bad Guys' Pt. 4, following Electro's defeat, Chameleon impersonates and frames Spider-Man for robbing a bank. Also, he impersonates Chief Yuri Wantanabe as Spider-Man is tricked into restraining himself. Revealing himself to Spider-Man, Chameleon tells him he was the mastermind behind Spider-Man's bounty, and that he helped Mysterio with his HYDRA illusion in 'Bring on the Bad Guys' Pt. 2 by disguising himself as Captain America, also telling him he had been sneaking into the Daily Bugle for weeks to gain more information on Spider-Man. Spider-Man chases Chameleon to the Daily Bugle where he is caught on camera by J. Jonah Jameson and Stan the Cameraman. In an attempt to further criminalize Spider-Man, he impersonates J. Jonah Jameson, but Spider-Man defeats Chameleon by punching the doppelgänger, saving Jameson's life. Imprisoned in a cell that negates his holographic technology, Chameleon is briefly contacted by his as-yet-unidentified superior where Chameleon tells him that everything is going to plan.

Video games

• Chameleon appears in the SNES version of Spider-Man, a video game based on Spider-Man: The Animated Series. He attacks the player by mimicking the appearances of the Rhino and the Owl.^[69]
• Chameleon appears in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 video game, voiced by Glenn Steinbaum. It is revealed that he has been posing as Donald Menken, the CEO of Oscorp, so that he can oversee the Kingpin's experiments. In the post-credits scene, Chameleon removes his disguise and asks what their next plan is. The Kingpin then states to Chameleon that now, 'the real work begins'.

Novels

• The Chameleon plays an important role in the Sinister Six novel trilogy by Adam-Troy Castro.^{[citation needed]} He arranges for the escape of Doctor Octopus, the Vulture, Electro and Mysterio to form a new incarnation of the Sinister Six, coordinated by internationally feared criminal Gustav Fiers (the Gentleman) who has often employed the Chameleon in past schemes. With the aid of the Gentleman's ward, Pity, a young woman with enhanced strength and speed that allows her to stand up to Spider-Man and the ability to generate a psionically-induced darkness, these men form a new incarnation of the Sinister Six to aid in the Gentleman's plan to trigger a global financial collapse (although the Six are only aware of the Gentleman's plan to destroy the American economy by generating an EMP in the middle of New York, unaware that he also plans to release a catalyst that would destroy ink and thus remove all physical back-ups of the lost data, as well as render the money the Six had been paid with little more than paper). During their first attack of a 'Day of Terror', where four of the Six take hostages at various points around the city (Mysterio posing as Electro while he and Pity steal the catalyst to draw attention from Electro's absence), the Chameleon takes an acting class at Empire State University hostage to make them run across a football field rigged with explosives, but he is taken by surprise by Mary Jane, who dismisses his plan as pathetic before catching him off-guard and forcing him to flee. When the time comes to trigger the EMP, although Fiers believed that he had the Six under control, he is killed by none other than the Chameleon, who disguises himself as Fiers' new driver so that he can find the plane where Fiers is storing his new material wealth (Fiers having 'sacrificed' most of his actual money to pay the Six or buy new goods that will become more valuable once money itself has lost all value); while dying, Fiers reflects that he was always able to see through the Chameleon's disguises in the past, but wonders if the Chameleon just let him see through those disguises until he was ready to strike. However, the Chameleon's plan to take control of Fiers' scheme is cut short when Doctor Octopus attacks the plane intending to do the same thing, followed by a fight between Doctor Octopus, Spider-Man and Pity that sends the plane crashing into the sea, with Pity and Octavius vanishing while the Chameleon is left hospitalized from hypothermia and near-drowning.

The Flash is an American superhero television series developed by Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, and Geoff Johns, airing on The CW. It is based on the DC Comics character Barry Allen / Flash, a costumed superhero crime-fighter with the power to move at superhuman speeds. It is a spin-off from Arrow, existing in the same fictional universe. The series follows Barry Allen, portrayed by Grant Gustin, a crime scene investigator who gains super-human speed, which he uses to fight criminals, including others who have also gained superhuman abilities.

Initially envisioned as a backdoor pilot, the positive reception Gustin received during two appearances as Barry on Arrow led to executives choosing to develop a full pilot to make use of a larger budget and help flesh out Barry's world in more detail. Colleen Atwood, costume designer for Arrow, was brought in to design the Flash's suit. The creative team wanted to make sure that the Flash would resemble his comic book counterpart, and not simply be a poor imitation. The series is primarily filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

The Flash premiered in North America on October 7, 2014, where the pilot became the second-most watched premiere in the history of The CW, after The Vampire Diaries in 2009. It has been well received by critics and audiences, and won the People's Choice Award for 'Favorite New TV Drama' in 2014. The series, together with Arrow, has spun characters out to their own show, Legends of Tomorrow, which premiered on January 21, 2016. On April 2, 2018, The CW renewed the series for a fifth season, which premiered on October 9, 2018. On January 31, 2019, The CW renewed the series for a sixth season, which is set to premiere on October 8, 2019.

Series overview

The first season follows crime-scene investigator Barry Allen who gains super-human speed after the explosion of the S.T.A.R. Labs' particle accelerator which he uses to fight crime and hunt other metahumans in Central City as the Flash, a masked superhero.^[1] Barry pursues his mother's murderer, Eobard Thawne, eventually uncovering that his mentor Harrison Wells is Eobard in disguise. In the second season, a singularity event brings speedsterZoom from a parallel universe, who seeks to eliminate all other speedsters in the multiverse. After Zoom kills Barry's father, Barry defeats Zoom and travels back in time to save his mother's life.

In the third season, by changing his past, Barry creates the alternate timeline 'Flashpoint'. He is somewhat able to restore the timeline, but causes the emergence of Savitar, a god-like speedster with a grudge against Barry. When Barry accidentally travels to the future and sees Iris West killed by Savitar, he becomes desperate to change the future to prevent that from happening. After saving Iris and defeating Savitar, Barry takes his place in the Speed Force in order to repent for his creation of Flashpoint. The fourth season sees Team Flash successfully bring Barry back from the Speed Force, but in the process release dark matter, turning a dozen people on a city bus into metahumans, masterminded by Clifford DeVoe, an adversary with the fastest mind alive. After the defeat of DeVoe, the team is approached by Barry and Iris' daughter from the future, Nora West-Allen.

During the fifth season, the team discover that Nora's presence has altered the timeline and unleashed Cicada, a serial killer bent on killing metahumans. They also eventually learn of her allegiance with Eobard, who orchestrated Nora's arrival and Cicada. Barry and Nora succeed in subduing Eobard, but are forced to let him go and Nora is erased from the timeline. Unbeknownst to everyone, this event in turn causes the crisis that Barry disappears in to take place earlier than expected.

Production

Development

On July 30, 2013, it was announced that Arrow co-creators Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg, Arrow pilot director David Nutter, and DC Comics CCO Geoff Johns would develop a television series based on the Flash for The CW, and it would detail Barry Allen's origin.^[30] Kreisberg revealed after the announcement that Allen would first appear as a recurring character on Arrow in three episodes of season two—all written by Berlanti, Kreisberg and Johns—and the last of the episodes would act as a backdoor pilot for the new show. Kreisberg added that Allen would be a forensic scientist and the introduction of his superpowers, as well as the reactions to this, will be very human and grounded. Johns stated that the character of the Flash in the show would resemble his comic book counterpart, complete with his trademark red costume, and not be a poor imitation. Kreisberg elaborated: 'No sweat suits or strange code names; he will be The Flash.' While researching the best way to depict the Flash's lightning speed, Johns stated it would not just be the standard 'blurring around'.^[31]

Barry ultimately appeared twice in Arrow's second season, with the planned backdoor pilot cancelled in favor of a traditional pilot by The CW executives, who had been impressed by early cuts of Barry's first two episodes on Arrow. This allowed the creative team to flesh out Barry's story and his world on a bigger budget, as opposed to a backdoor pilot's constraint of incorporating characters from the parent show. The pilot was officially ordered on January 29, 2014, and was written by Berlanti, Kreisberg, and Johns, and directed by Nutter.^[32][33] On May 8, 2014, The Flash was officially picked up as a series, with an initial order of 13 episodes.^[34] Three more scripts were ordered in September 2014 following a positive response to newly completed episodes by executives,^[35] while a back ten was ordered the next month for a full 23-episode season.^[36]

With the commencement of production on the series' second season, former Arrow and Ugly Betty writer Gabrielle Stanton was promoted to executive producer and showrunner; after having served as consulting producer and writer on the first season's finale 'Fast Enough'.^[37] However, it was later reported that Kreisberg would be returning to sole showrunner duties at an unspecified time.^[38] That time was later proved to be at the start of 2016, 'Potential Energy', when Stanton was no longer credited as being involved with the show. In May 2017, it was reported that Aaron Helbing would be departing the series. Helbing had served as a writer since the first season, and as co-showrunner, along with his brother Todd and Kreisberg, since the second.^[39]

On April 2, 2018, The CW renewed the series for a fifth season, which premiered on October 9, 2018.^[40][41] On January 31, 2019, The CW renewed the series for a sixth season,^[42] which is set to premiere on October 8, 2019.^[8]

Design

The costume was designed by Colleen Atwood, who also designed the costumes for Arrow.^[43] It features a burgundy color scheme, a masked helmet, and gold accents throughout,^[44] and went through multiple adjustments from the moment it was placed in computer renderings to the day of filming the pilot.^[11] Primarily made of leather, the suit contains areas with a stretchable material to allow Gustin room to bend. According to Atwood 'It was all about a costume that could sell speed, Grant [Gustin] was continually moving in the suit, so it had to be designed to make that all happen visually and functionally.'^[45] It initially took Gustin approximately 40 minutes to get into his costume, as the first cowl was prosthetic and had to be zipped and glued to his face. This was cut down to approximately 15 minutes by episode eight, when designers were able to develop a new cowl that easily slid over Gustin's face and locked into place.^[11] Maya Mani replaced Atwood as the costume designer for the second season and made slight changes to the Flash costume, such as changing the color of his crest from yellow to white, being faithful to the Flash costume from the comics.^[46]

Filming

Production on the pilot began in March 2014, with filming taking place in Vancouver, British Columbia;^[47] additional filming for the series takes place in Portland, Oregon.^[48] On how action sequences are shot for the series, compared to Arrow, Gustin said, 'When [Arrow] shoot[s] action sequences, pretty much what you see is what you get and they're really doing everything. We do a lot of plate shots that are empty shots of the area we're going to be in and then they're putting us in later in post. I do a lot of the fighting. I don't have to do it full speed and then they ramp it up and a lot of people have to freeze and I keep moving. Then I have to clear frame and step back into frame. It's really tedious stuff that we have to do. On theirs, they learn fight choreography and they shoot it from the perfect angles and what you see is what you get.'^[49] Production on the third season began in early July 2016.^[50]

Music

Arrow composer Blake Neely is the primary composer of the series, and was first hired in April 2014 to score the pilot.^[51][52] He had previously composed a theme for Barry Allen which was featured in Arrow's season two episodes 'The Scientist' and 'Three Ghosts'. The theme was titled 'The Scientist' when it was released on the Arrow: Season 2 soundtrack. According to Neely, 'It had to be different [from Arrow] .. but it also couldn't be so different that it couldn't fit in the Arrow universe, .. it had to be in a style that could hold hands with Arrow.'^[53] On December 18, 2014, WaterTower Music released a selection of music from The Flash/Arrow crossover episodes, as well as two bonus tracks from their respective 2014 midseason finales.^[54] The first season, two-disc soundtrack was released on October 16, 2015.^[55] The second season's soundtrack was released digitally on July 22, 2016,^[56] and in CD format on July 26, 2016.^[57]

Sound design

The sound design for the show is handled by Mark Camperell. The sound effect for Barry is made up of elements of thunder, electricity, jets, fireballs, and various custom whooshes and impacts. Speaking about designing the sound for The Flash's ability, Mark says: 'My approach for the sounds of The Flash's ability was to editorially treat him like a really aggressively driven hot rod. This doesn't mean that I used car sounds for him, though. What I mean is that when thinking about how to edit his sounds, I thought about it like cutting a car chase.'^[58]

Release

Broadcast

The Flash was screened at the Warner Bros. Television and DC Entertainment panel at San Diego Comic-Con International in July 2014.^[59] The series officially premiered on The CW on October 7, 2014, during the 2014–15 television season^[60] and also premiered in Canada on the same night.^[61] The second episode was screened at New York Comic Con on October 9, 2014, as a way to repay the viewers that watched the series' premiere episode.^[62] The series premiered in the United Kingdom and Ireland on October 28, 2014,^[63] and in Australia on December 3, 2014.^[64]

In January 2015, The CW president Mark Pedowitz announced the intention to do a Flash/Arrow crossover every season,^[183] and The CW announced that an animated web-series, Vixen, featuring the DC heroine of the same name and set in the universe of Arrow and The Flash, would be debuting on CW Seed in late 2015.^[184] The character is expected to make a live-action appearance on Arrow and/or The Flash as well.^[185] The next month, it was reported that a spin-off series, which is described as a superhero team-up show, was in discussion by The CW for a possible 2015–16 midseason release. Berlanti and Kreisberg would executive produce alongside Guggenheim and Sarah Schechter. The potential series would be headlined by several recurring characters from both Arrow and The Flash, with the potential for other Arrow/Flash characters to cross over to the new series as well.^[186][187] In May 2015, The CW officially picked up the series, titled DC's Legends of Tomorrow.^[188]

The second season begins to explore the concept of the multiverse, by introducing Earth-2, which features doppelgängers of the inhabitants in the Earth-1 (the main universe of Arrow, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow) along with Jay Garrick, the Flash of Earth-2, and Zoom.^[189] In the episode 'Welcome to Earth-2', as Barry, Cisco and Harrison Wells of Earth-2 travel to Earth-2, glimpses of the multiverse are seen, including an image of Supergirl star Melissa Benoist as Supergirl and an image of John Wesley Shipp as the Flash from the 1990 television series, implying the two characters and their respective television series exist on alternate Earths to Earth-1;^[190][191]Supergirl's world is later designated Earth-38 in the Arrowverse multiverse.^[192] Gustin as Barry appeared on the eighteenth episode of Supergirl, 'Worlds Finest', which aired on CBS on March 28, 2016. Intersecting with the events of the eighteenth episode of The Flash, which aired on April 19, 2016, Barry accidentally arrives on Earth-38 and helps Kara battle two of her enemies, Silver Banshee (Italia Ricci) and Livewire (Brit Morgan), before returning home.^[193][194]
