CW's 'The Flash' Adds Greg Finley: Which DC Comics Super-Villain Will 'Star-Crossed' Actor Play?

The CW Network continues to grow its rogue gallery from the DC Comics Universe. In the upcoming super speedster drama, The Flash,  actor Greg Finley (Star-Crossed) will make Grant Gustin's life a living hell as the metallic super villain Girder.

Entertainment Weekly reports that the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit guest-star has joined the superhero show as Tony Woodward, also known to comic book fans as Girder. In his origin tale, Woodward causes a scene at the workplace, which escalates to a riot at the steel plant. After assaulting a female co-worker, the other employees huddle together to take him down.

The steelworker screamed to his death as he was thrown into a vat of molten steel. The liquid steel he fell into just happened to be a failed experiment from S.T.A.R. Labs. After being turned to  a living metal, Girder lives a violent criminal lifestyle, which often leads to clashes with Superboy and the Teen Titans.

For the TV show, the mythology has changed, as Woodward now seems to have been affected by the lab explosion that also gave Barry Allen (Gustin) his super-speed powers. Though the hero and villain do not share a back-story in the comics, the two will now share some past history together.

Girder happens to be the bully who picked on Barry when they were kids. Imagine the most-feared bully from your childhood now having superpowers to pick on you.

Greg Finley makes his way to The Flash in episodes 6 and 7. Readers, are you excited to see the premiere of the Arrow spinoff on Oct. 7?
