RIP 1990s Flash Showrunner Paul DeMeo

It’s being reported that one of the creators of the 1990s Flash TV series, Paul DeMeo, passed away a few days ago. He and his writing partner, Danny Bilson, produced and wrote for the original television series, and later they reunited to write the Bart Allen comic series The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive.

There are no details available at this point, and even DeMeo’s age seems to be unknown, but the passing of a man who co-created the original television series and ultimately influenced the current one is worth noting. May he rest in peace, and we at Speedforce offer condolences to his family and friends.

The images feature Iris in her new costume, as well as our first look at Jaco Birch, aka Pyro (played by Max Adler). He is apparently a character from old Power Girl comics.
