Alchemy

"Alchemy", nicknamed Dr. Alchemy by Cisco Ramon, is the alias of an unnamed individual in Central City with a number of meta-human abilities without being exposed to dark matter. Alchemy seeks to "prepare" the world for a currently unknown plot. Part of this includes transforming individuals from the Flashpoint timeline "back" into their meta-human selves including Edward Clariss.

Biography
Dr. Alchemy communicated with Edward Clariss and led him to his lair where he and his followers awaited them. Alchemy also forced Clariss to remember his Flashpoint life and manipulated him into agreeing to serve him in exchange for restoring his powers, allowing Clariss to become "The Rival" again. After the Rival's first encounter with The Flash, Rival led Flash to a sawmill where Dr. Alchemy attacked Flash. Dr. Alchemy claimed that he is helping people achieve their true potential to prepare the world, and had Rival fight Flash again. However Rival was defeated by the joint efforts of Flash and Vibe. When Clariss was imprisoned Dr. Alchemy teleported into the cell to punish him for his crime.
