One of the greatest villains you haven’t heard of yet comes to The Flash tonight.
So who is Abra Kadabra, anyway?
And with Abra Kadabra coming to DC TV, magical isnt just a clever turn of phrase.
Who is this magical malcontent, you ask?
Sit back and lets go for a mystical ride back to the Silver Age of comics…
He wasnt a classic evil sorcerer, not really, he was a citizen of the 64th century.
Now, lets stop here and let this sink in.
Thats pretty messed up.
Thats like me going back to 1654 with a flip phone and saying I was a wizard.
But Abra Kadabra would have his applause, oh yes.
He used his super tech toforcepeople to applaud.
In their first encounter, Abra defeated Flash by using his futuristic clap inducing technology (ahem).
Later, Abra Kadabra attempted his greatest trick by making the Flash disappear.
All that was left of Flash was his uniform as he was shot off into space.
After Abra Kadabra escapes from prison, he sets up a puppet show (as one does).
He uses his new found puppet glory to ruin Flashs reputation.
He builds a Flash puppet and humiliates it.
Thats kind of silly, but things soon take a glorious turn.
Abra Kadabra uses his 64th century tech to set up a trap that turns Flash into a freakin puppet!
Now what does that feel like?
Does you Kukla feel all Fran and Ollied?
We want to know!
and defeats Abra Kadabra.
But this moment of glory will forever define the endless insanity of Flashs Silver Age adventures.
Psst, Greg Berlanti, psst, Geoff Johns, pssst, Andrew Kreisberg.
Gather round, I need to talk to you.
Yeah, lets huddle.
yo have Abra Kadabra turn Barry into a puppet on TV.yo, the universe needs this to happen.
Thanks, you guys.
The magicians immense ego doesnt allow him to play well with others.
They honor his non-conformist view of the world and form a sort of Cult of Kadabra.
Wally saves Abra Kadabra and destroys the method by which the evil techo-wizard travels through time.
One wonders if CWsFlashwill follow suit and cast Abra Kadabra as more of a rival to Wally than Barry.
After this act that proved there is no honor among thieves, Abra Kadabra became Nerons chief lieutenant.
Not bad, from a puppet obsessed egocentric stage magician to the right hand man of the devil hisownself.
Thats why it was so shocking when Abra Kadabra made Linda Park disappear from all of reality.
Not only was Linda gone, no one remembered her.
When Wally West returned in the pages of 2016sDC Universe: Rebirth, a great mystery followed.
Think about that next time your laughing at the puppet stuff.
And there you go, Abra Kadabra 101.
