Spencer Young

Spencer Young is the main antagonist of  "News Flash", the fourth episode of the fifth season of The Flash. She is an aspiring but arrogant journalist who seeks fame and fortune by blogging about it with her meta-tech phone. The phone is empowered by dark-matter, and Spencer creates fake news, by hypnotizing her targets to complete what the headlines say. However, she was apprehended by the Flash after she tried getting XS to kill him. Spencer's crimes brought meta-tech to Team Flash's attention and giving them a step closer into finding Cicada.
== Personality ==
At first glance, it appears that like Iris, Spencer wants to create news by centering on a speedster, XS, and make a name for herself. However, the difference is Iris only published those articles on the Flash to inspire hope in people on their city's protector. This shows that Spencer is truly arrogant, ambitious and very reckless with her meta-tech phone. She doesn't care about journalism ethics or anything, only if she gets her "juicy story." After Iris warned her that publishing stories about XS might attract the  serial killer murdering other meta-humans, Spencer ignored them, even threatening to have Iris' own blog shut down, all for the sake of fame. She is willing to commit dangerous crimes to keep the story. She hypnotized a police officer, Jonesy, into bringing in a bomb and Hypnotize Nora into stopping it. This  could have killed everyone at the Central City Police Department softball game, showing Sievers disregard of innocents as well. 
== Trivia ==
* Spencer may be a lesbian or bisexual due to her flirting with Nora West-Allen.
