The CW has had no shortage of villains to come and give our heroes a hard time. Most commonly it is villains of the heroes who appear on the shows, and the shows have certainly used a lot of certain heroes' villains over the past couple of years. One of these heroes is Firestorm who has seen several of his villains used on the Flash as villains of the week. Multiplex, Plastique, Deathstorm, Bug and Byte, and several others have all come and gone on the show, and I anticipate that the hero's rogues gallery will continue to serve as fodder for the CW-verse in the absence of a real Firestorm show. So looking over his villains who have yet to appear in the universe, here are the top 5 Firestorm villains I want to see in the CW.

10 villains I want to see in CW's The Flash
5. Typhoon
We've had a couple of villains in the universe who can control weather, namely the Weather Witch and Wizard, but there has been plenty of villains who had similar powers to others so having another weather based villain wouldn't be the end of the world. It would give the show a chance to display more powers possible with this ability if they don't have the chance to bring back Mark Mardon or his daughter. Plus, it's an ability that has been really cool to see.

4. Sparx
There's been villains with this ability before, such as Livewire and Blackout, so just like Typhoon, it wouldn't kill the universe to have another villain with similar powers show up for a guest appearance in an episode. Electricity based powers have always looked very cool on the CW, and I'm always open to more instances of getting to see it in use.

3. Mindboggler
This is a higher profile villain that I'm sure the CW is just waiting to get to one day. This character has been featured plenty of times in the Suicide Squad comic books, and the ability to manipulate peoples' senses and divert their will would be something very unique and cool to see. Not to mention it would work well against the Flash as a way to explain why he can't just run up and grab this villain.

2. Slipknot
This is another higher end villain from Firestorm's roster that also got a big break in the Suicide Squad live action movie, even if it was a short role that lead to an early death. In any of the shows it would be cool to get another variation of this character that would be used a little more and get to show off his expert rope making abilities a fair amount more than in the Suicide Squad movie.

1. Stratos
The ability to control wind is one that I don't think we've seen very much on the CW. I know that a character had it in Black Lightning but Windfall didn't really use her powers very much, and the main CW universe hasn't had a villain really use it since Clyde Mardon in season 1 episode 1 of the Flash. Unlike water or electricity, wind can be a hard thing to fight against since you really can't see it and that can be another explanation for how a villain like this could fight the Flash, or even a team of heroes like the Legends.
