The Mysterious Identity of Savitar: God of Speed

As fans of The Flash, we've been eagerly awaiting the revelation of Savitar's true identity since his introduction as a powerful and enigmatic villain. With Wally West freed from his Speed Force prison earlier this season, one theory that's gaining traction is that Savitar might be Wally himself, driven mad by his imprisonment and seeking revenge on the past. This notion is fueled by Savitar's prophecy that one member of Team Flash will suffer 'a fate worse than death,' with many fans believing it refers to Wally's time trapped in the Speed Force.

However, another theory suggests that Wally West might not be Savitar at all, but rather his evil counterpart from the future. In the comics, there is a character known as the 'Future Flash' or 'Blue Flash,' who wears futuristic armor and seeks revenge on his enemies to undo the pain of losing someone dear. This Future Flash is said to look similar to Savitar, with a distinctive blue appearance. The 2014 story arcs 'Out of Time' and 'The End of the Road' feature a Barry Allen from 20 years in the future who blames himself for the death of Wally West, adding credence to this theory.

Given the show's focus on duality, time travel, and alternate realities, it's not far-fetched to consider that Savitar might be an alternate version of Barry Allen himself. This would fit with the theme of the season, which has seen characters struggling with their own dual identities, such as Julian Albert/Alchemy and Caitlin Snow/Killer Frost.

So, is Savitar a random character or someone we know all too well? The evidence points to the latter. With so much build-up surrounding his identity, it's unlikely that Savitar will be just another random villain. Instead, fans are betting on an alternate version of a familiar face being the true identity behind Savitar's mask.

As we continue to follow the story and unravel the mystery of Savitar's true identity, one thing is certain: it will be a thrilling ride full of twists and turns that will keep us guessing until the very end.
