Cicada (CW)

==Summary==
Orlin Dwyer, also known as Cicada, is the first main antagonist in Season 5 of The Flash CW TV series.
He is an enhanced serial killer who targets metahumans to honor and avenge his family, specifically his niece Grace Gibbons. He also wields a lightningbolt-shaped dagger that nullifies their powers among other capabilities. It is implied that the shrapnel which hit Orlin was meant for David Hersch before Nora West-Allen's interference changed the trajectory of the satellite debris, causing a shift in the timeline.

Attack Potency: Wall level physically (Easily overpowered Flash, Vibe and Elongated Man after they were deprived of their powers. Was able to overpower Gridlock despite the latter initially attacking him with his metahuman powers. Hospitalized four ARGUS guards. Strong enough to crush a metal pole with one hand. Threw his dagger hard enough to make a hole in a wall), can ignore conventional durability using his dagger
Speed: Unknown combat speed (Blocked an explosion with a forcefield. Dodged an Ice Blast from Killer Frost. Blocked an Acid Blast from Acid Master with a forcefield, said Acid Blasts required XS and Flash using superspeed to dodge them), Unknown flight speed (Visually turns into a blur while flying)

Standard Equipment: Lightning Dagger, Cicada Suit, His Mask
Intelligence: Above Average (Cicada demonstrated strong detective and scout skills, investigating potential connections between Joseph West and Vibe, and later managed to locate and infiltrate Joe's home. As seen later, Cicada did the same with Ralph Dibny, Iris West-Allen, and Cecile Horton multiple times in the same time line, effectively having them beat by always killing one member, forcing XS to rewind time 53 times to devise a plan to beat him)
Weaknesses: The satellite shard lodged in his chest damaged his right lung, making it hard for him to breathe. As noted by Dr. Ambres, the more Orlin uses his powers, the more it strains his body, as he continues to endure ever-increasing pain.
