"Who the hell are you? What do you want?" "For all of you to die."

- William Lang and the unknown individual.

"Cicada" is a mysterious being whose goal is to kill all meta-humans.

Biography
When a CCPD convoy was transporting William Lang/Gridlock to Iron Heights Prison, Cicada ambushed it, heavily injuring the cops and guards before opening the trunk of Gridlock's truck. Gridlock demanded to know who he was and what he wanted and Cicada told him he wanted for all of his kind to die. He then approached Gridlock with a dagger of mysterious power in hand, much to Gridlock's terror. He then attempted to kill Gridlock, until Gridlock got out off his restraints and fought back. Just as Gridlock was overpowering Cicada, his dagger took away his powers and Cicada was able to beat him senseless and stab him thereby killing him. After killing Gridlock, he went to an unknown location, hurt, and took off his cloak and mask, putting them in his locker along with his dagger.

Right after the Flash and XS defeated Vanessa Jansen, Cicada showed up and threw his dagger into her chest before confronting the speedsters along with Vibe and Elongated Man. As XS ran Jansen to a hospital, Cicada threw his dagger to the ground stripping the three meta-humans of their powers. They attempt to fight back with hand-to-hand combat but are completely overwhelmed by his superior strength and skills. With all of them down, Cicada moves on the Flash to kill him but XS returns calling out to her father, which stops Cicada and instead walks away.
