Former WWE wrestler Adam Copeland, AKA "Edge", will be guest starring on The Flash as DC Comics' Atom Smasher in Season 2.

"One of the most powerful enemies we encounter this season, Atom Smasher has come to Central City to kill The Flash," the CW told Comicbook.com. "His incredible strength and ability to grow to enormous size makes him more than a match for Flash and the entire S.T.A.R. Labs team will have to come together to find a way to defeat him."

In the comics, Atom Smasher is the alter ego of Al Rothstein, and was a longtime hero - only to go much darker following the death of his mother. Rothstein was name-dropped in Season 1 among the victims of the particle accelerator explosion, among many other DC characters.



Since his injury-related retirement from WWE, Copeland has been busy as an actor with an ongoing role on Syfy's Haven and starring in the upcoming WWE-produced movie, Interrogation.

The Flash returns to the air October 6 on the CW. Read IGN's Season 1 review to learn more about great science gone wrong.
