TheFlash season 9 has cast The 100 star Richard Harmon as a new version of Captain Boomerang after the DC villain appeared in early seasons.
The Flash season 9 has cast a new version of the iconic DC villain Captain Boomerang. The Flash premiered on The CW in 2014 and has been a consistent hit for the network ever since. It now stands as the longest-running installment in the Arrowverse franchise. The Flash is currently in production on season 9, which will also be the last for the Grant Gustin-starring superhero series.
Throughout The Flash's nine-year run, many of the character's classic comics foes have been brought to life, including the Reverse-Flash, Captain Cold, and Gorilla Grodd. One of the most notable was Digger Harkness, aka Captain Boomerang, who was played by Spartacus star Nick E. Tarabay. Harkness was the primary villain in the first crossover episode between Arrow and The Flash. The character later reappeared in Arrow season 5, where he met his end.
The reveal that this version of Captain Boomerang exists following the events of "Crisis on Infinite Earths" follows a pattern utilized by the Arrowverse to use the event to revisit previous characters with a new spin. The most notable example on The Flash is Mirror Master, who was originally introduced in season 3 played by Grey Damon. Damon played the first comic book Mirror Master, Sam Scudder, as a villain of the week.
Owen Mercer finally being introduced in The Flash season 9 also may hint at where the story is building. Owen Mercer's incarnation of Captain Boomerang was first introduced into DC Comics in 2004, created by Brad Meltzer and Rags Morales. In the comics, the character is the son of the original Captain Boomerang and Meloni Thawne, a descendant of Eobard Thawne, aka The Reverse-Flash.
