The CW’s showing off this first look at Teddy Sears as Jay Garrick on The Flash. The image pays “special homage” to the “Flash of Two Worlds” comic book cover and features the DC Comics character in action.

Per DC Comics: “In the comics, Garrick was the very first Flash, and is known for his winged silver helmet, which was glimpsed briefly in the Season 1 finale. On The Flash TV show, Jay is a mysterious figure who arrives in Central City to warn Barry Allen and his team at S.T.A.R. Labs of an impending danger that he alone cannot hope to stop.”

When Sears (Masters of Sex, 666 Park Avenue) was originally announced as joining the cast, executive producer Andrew Kreisberg said, “Having Jay Garrick come onto the show was one of our earliest ideas. It is so exciting, as we rush into season two, that we finally get to bring the Crimson Comet to life. We couldn’t imagine anyone more suited to play the original Flash than Teddy.”

Season two of The Flash premieres on Tuesday, October 6, 2015 at 8pm ET/PT.
