""Who are you? What do you want?" "For all of you to die.""

- Gridlock and Cicada.

Cicada is a major villain from Season 5 of the CW TV series, The Flash.

He is portrayed by Chris Klein.

History
After the meta-human Gridlock was defeated by the Flash and his team and brought into C.C.P.D. custody, he was being sent to Iron Heights while being locked up in a truck in restraints to where he can't freely move his body. Cicada was waiting for them before throwing a lightning-bolt-shaped blade in front of the trucks' route, which created a flashing explosion that stops the convoy immediately. Cicada then proceeds to attack the guards at will, killing every member who stood in his way, before opening the truck that contained Gridlock. Gridlock asked him who he was and what he wanted, only for Cicada to reply that he wants all meta-humans to die. He then approaches Gridlock with the blade in hand, much to Gridlock's terror, and presumably kills him.

Trivia

 * Although this is the adaption of Cicada from the comics, he bears no resemblance to his comic-book appearance.
 * Interestingly, the sound Cicada makes from his mask slightly resemblances the sound that the cicada insects make.
