"The Flash" will introduce a new member of The Rogues, but with a twist. The character was originally a male in the comic books, but he will be reinvented as a woman on the show. "Awkward" actress Ashley Rickards is tapped to play the gender-bending role.

She will play Rosalind "Rosa" Dillon who is later known as The Top in the fourth episode of season 3. Just like in the comics, the evil character possesses the power to make people's heads spin. She is described as the Bonnie to Mirror Master (Grey Damon)'s Clyde.

The episode will also see the return of Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold. "It's kind of the origin of Mirror Master...We're really excited," executive producers Aaron & Todd Helbing told E! News. "It's the origin story of him, but it's this struggle between Mirror Master and Captain Cold and you get to see who comes out on top."
