Gypsy is coming to The Flash

Interesting news coming out of the superhero TV series The Flash: a new superhero will be added to the cast when the series comes back from its winter hiatus on January 24th. Her name is Gypsy, and she's actually been around since the 1980's, having been created in the comics by Gerry Conway and Chuck Patton. Armed with the ability to blend in with her surroundings, making herself invisible, Gypsy was a part of the Justice League: Detroit story line.

But what struck my fancy with the character was the fact that she was always barefoot. Gypsy was the only female character to go shoeless in the comics (I believe Marvel's She-Hulk also went barefoot, but not all of the time). Of course it would be nice if the actress who plays her on The Flash also went barefoot, but I'm not counting on it.

Still, whether Gypsy wears shoes or not, The Flash is an extremely fun TV show. It airs Tuesdays at 8:00 pm on the CW network. If you haven't already, check it out.
