Grace Gibbons is one of the two main antagonists of Season 5 (along with Orlin Dwyer) of the TV series The Flash and a posthumous antagonist in Season 6. She is also the second bearer of the Cicada mantle.
She is the niece of Orlin Dwyer, the first Cicada, who went into a coma during the events of the Enlightenment and gained numerous powers. After waking up, she decided to continue her uncle's mission to kill every metahuman in Central City and kill anybody who gets in her way.
She is portrayed by Sarah Carter as an adult, and by Islie Hirvonen as a child.
Her Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Her Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- She tried to kill Nora in her mind, who was actually trying to rescue her from the coma she was in.
- After failing to kill Nora, Grace swears to kill all meta-humans and get revenge on Team Flash.
- When she wakes up from her coma, she becomes the new Cicada, killing more than 152 people with her powers after the Flash had disappeared.
- It's even mentioned that she had killed more people than Zoom or "Red Death". This makes her The Flash villain with the highest amount of confirmed kills.
- Her status as a serial killer caused people to fear her and dub her an "immortal monster". Even Nora was terrified of her.
- Upon realizing that meta-humans were still increasing, Grace steals a time sphere to go back in time to help her uncle destroy all meta-humans.
- When she first arrives in the past, she attacks STAR Labs and easily overpowers Team Flash.
- When Dr. Ambres attempts to protect Orlin, she brutally kills her without remorse, showing that unlike her uncle she has no problems about killing regular humans.
- She kidnaps her uncle just after Team Flash had finished curing him and takes him back to a cabin.
- She attempts to kill the meta-human who killed her parents, Vickie Bolen, uncaring of who she has to kill to get to her.
- After finding out that Vickie murdering her parents was a complete accident, she still doesn't care and decides to kill her anyway.
- Orlin, who's started to redeem himself, attempts to convince Grace to give up her crusade of hate against meta-humans before it consumes her, like it did to him, however she angrily rejects him.
- Arrives at the hospital to kill Vicki and takes her husband hostage. She also kills a policeman.
- The Flash attempts to reason with her, however she rejects help yet again, showing how delusional she's become.
- She overpowers The Flash and is about to kill him before Orlin intervenes.
- Orlin yet again tries to convince her to late go of her hatred against meta-humans, which finally convinces Grace that "it's too late for him" and she stabs him in the back with her dagger, killing her uncle who dearly loved her.
- She kidnapped her younger self and took her to her hideout.
- Killed Thomas Snow, who had just been freed of his Icicle persona, who sacrificed himself for his daughter.
- She then took Thomas Snow's invention, the cryo-stabilizer and some prototype versions of the meta-human cure.
- Planned to create a virus that would kill all the meta-humans in Central City at once, showing how far she's willing to go in her goals.
- Taken even further when she plans to time travel to the night of the Particle Accelerator Explosion the moment they are born.
- She attempts to kill meta-human Renee Adler before being thwarted by Team Flash yet again.
- She takes over the CCPD and attempts to use the area to unleash her new meta-human virus plan.
- Fights Team Flash yet again.
- Is absolutely enraged when her plan was foiled and attempts to kill Team Flash.
- When Nora enters young Grace's mind and tells her of what she will become in the future, young Grace is horrified by how evil her future self turns out to be and has a change of heart and takes the cure, causing her evil self to fade from existence.
What Prevents Her from Being Pure Evil?[]
- She lost her parents when she was young due to a meta-human attack and was forced to live with her uncle, who, despite caring for her, was a bad influence on her and filled her mind with hatred for meta humans and caused her to become the murderous serial killer she is today, making her tragic.
- Although she brutally kills him after he tries to convince her to stop her war against meta-humans, she still genuinely cared for her uncle and fondly hallucinates him as looking over her and guiding her in her plans.
- She does appear to be genuinely insane, hallucinating her uncle encouraging her to kill all meta-humans after she killed him and genuinely believing that meta-humans are a "virus" that must be destroyed, making it likely that she has a few moral agency issues.
Trivia[]
- Only the future version of Grace counts as Near Pure Evil, as the past version is just a child who barely commits any villainous actions and redeems herself by taking the meta-human cure after seeing what her future self has done.
