For the criminal of Earth-2 who operated under the alias "Mirror Master", see Evan McCulloch.


"You just stay out of my way, Flash, and I'll stay out of yours. I have unfinished business to attend to, and a whole world to liberate."
—Eva McCulloch announcing her plans to the Flash[src]

Dr. Eva McCulloch is the wife of Joseph Carver and a quantum engineer, co-founder of McCulloch Technologies. In the night of the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator explosion, she was accidentally thrown into a mirror and remained trapped in there for six years. While she didn't appear to develop abilities at first, after Iris West-Allen was trapped with her during her sixth year in the Mirrorverse she was shown to have meta-human powers similar to that of Sam Scudder.

Biography

Early life

At some point, Eva founded McCulloch Technologies, with her husband Joseph Carver becoming the company's C.E.O.[1]

During the particle accelerator explosion, Eva was accidentally thrown into the Mirrorverse and soon after was presumed dead to the outside world.[2]

Trapped in the Mirrorverse

Six years later, Eva was found by Iris West-Allen after investigating McCulloch Technologies, having been also thrown into the Mirrorverse and replaced by a mirror clone of herself. Eva and Iris then decided to work together in order to find a way to escape. [2] Iris was actually tricked into coming close enough to the mirror so that Eva could grab her. She had been planning to escape for half a decade, after realizing that her husband had truly abandoned her.[3]

Manipulating Iris

Eva used her powers to see into Earth-Prime to allow Iris to know that Iris' brother Wally was visiting the family. Seeing the happiness of the family hurt Eva emotionally, so she feigned pain and closed the viewing portal.[4]

Liberated

Succeeding in her plan of making Barry Allen waste most of his remaining speed, Eva started to work in the next phase of her plan. She ordered "Iris" and "Kamilla" to infiltrate Central City's A.R.G.U.S. facility alongside "David" and get a sample of Ramsey Rosso's blood. Meanwhile, she also watched over Barry Allen, realizing that he was extremely close to expose "Iris" as a faker.[3]

Eva's liberation

Eva finally getting her liberation

Inside the Mirror Dimension, the real Iris was getting closer into discovering the truth about Eva. Knowing that, Eva orchestrated a trap to catch and arrest Iris. The trap worked, and Eva kept Iris as a unconscious prisoner. In the meantime, Barry discovered a physical proof of "Iris's" facade: A photo taken by the real Kamilla where "Iris" could be seen with a prismatic fragmentation in her entire body. Alongside Cecile and Nash, Barry confronted "Iris" with a prismatic scanner that could, theoretically, generate the same fragmentation of Kamilla's photo when thrown into "Iris". Eva, however, switched the scanner with it's Mirror Dimension's counterpart, which caused the machine to show that Barry was a faker, not "Iris".[3]

Barry was then locked inside the pipeline. Later that day, Eva's team succeeded in the mission of getting a sample of Ramsey's blood, but at the cost of "Kamilla's" life. "Iris" was going to use the blood to liberate Eva, but Barry (who was released from the pipeline by Cecile) arrived in the spot just in time. "Iris", however, managed to use the blood before Barry could do anything. "Iris" and Barry then started fighting. Thanks to Barry's lack of speed, "Iris" started winning. Inside Mirror Dimension, however, the real Iris started messing with Eva's head by saying that she was still in love with Joseph Carver. Eva then started to freak out, screaming that she wanted Carver to suffer. That imbalance in Eva's mind somehow weakened "Iris", causing her to fall into the ground in pain. Barry used that moment to bring the little that the mirror clone had of the real Iris in her heart to the fore.[3]

Thinking to have no other choice, Eva somehow used her powers to kill "Iris" from inside the Mirrorverse. She then escaped from the Mirrorverse, appearing before Barry Allen. He tried to use his speed to contain her, but he was so slow at that time that Eva managed to incapacitate him with one single hit. Eva could kill Barry at this point, but choose to spare his life, arguing that he was no longer "much of a threat". Eva then escaped through several mirrors that were there, but not before alerting The Flash not to get in her way.[3]

After her escape from the Mirrorverse, she went to a McCulloch Technologies facility inside of a machine chamber where she was put in stasis. After she woke up, she remarked her revenge upon Joseph saying that she is coming for him.[5]

Personality

Eva initially comes off as a very shaken but kind woman who has been trapped in isolation for six years. While her motives are currently unknown, Eva has been having her mirror clone of Iris collect technology for her, including the Mirror gun. It's possible Eva has become mentally unhinged and untrusting due to her imprisonment, likely faking failure to help Iris get out of the Mirrorverse out of fear of being abandoned. However, it has been revealed that her kind and broken persona is just a facade, and she has been using her powers to exact her plan of "liberation", most likely from the Mirrorverse. She is actually a paranoid but driven individual who believes solely in evidence and will do anything to achieve her goals. It is revealed that she is quite conniving and ruthless, as she is fine with killing her husband and gets easily provoked. Despite this, she has been shown to be merciful at times, choosing not to kill Barry Allen even though he was weakened and would have been easy to kill.[3]

Powers and abilities

Powers

"Eva can move anywhere through any mirror in the universe in the blink of an eye."
Barry Allen to Cisco Ramon[src]
  • Meta-human physiology: After Eva was blasted by the dark energy of the particle accelerator explosion, this altered her DNA and supercharged her cells, giving her access to her abilities.[2]
    • Mirrorverse adaptation: Since being stuck in the Mirrorverse for so long, Eva's body has adapted to the side effects of her powers, including being able to read, function, and use technology while in the Mirrorverse with no ill effects. Her body was also temporarily tethered to the Mirrorverse, being burned when she tried to travel to the real world from the Mirrorverse. However, this adaptation is no longer a problem for Eva, after she arrived in the real world. Some of Eva's adaptation, like being able to read in the Mirrorverse, can be achieved by humans who have been trapped there long enough.[2]
      • Vitrikinesis:
        Eva reforges the mirror

        Eva reforges the mirror.

        Eva is able to manipulate mirrors after she was struck by dark matter. When she psycho-kinetically retrieved the mirror to her hand and pieced the broken shards of the mirror back to its original form, she and Iris figured that her abilities can do much more. She seems to be able to heal mirrors, make them 'sentient', use them as windows to see other people through mirrors in the real world, travel effectively through them, and psychically manipulate mirrors and mirror shards, and even weaponize them.[2] Eva is able to shatter and telekinetically manipulate mirrors in the real world, even when she was trapped in the Mirrorverse. Eva is able to wormhole items and manipulates any surface with high solar reflectance.[3]
        • Mirror clone creation: Eva is able to create mirror clones by using a mirror to create a fractal reflection of someone. She can use this ability by transporting people through mirrors, as shown when her silvery hands manifested and pulled Iris into the mirror verse. Her mirror clones are psychically linked to her and are shown mirroring her actions, such as murmuring or scratching her arm. It has also been shown that she can create mirror clones through the use of the mirror gun, which is how Kamilla's mirror clone was created. The mirror clones have all of the memories and full knowledge of their counterparts, making them difficult to detect. The only way to differentiate them from their originals is through personality and by taking an image of them, as they give off an odd refractive index when photographed through a prismatic filter as they appear to be prismatic crystalline structures or living mirrors. Her mirror clones are in essence, complete duplicates of people forged by splinters of the Mirrorverse or mirrors themselves. They have no problems with dying or betraying friends to exact Eva's goals, as shown with Singh and Kamilla specifically, and sometimes Mirror-Iris until she became disloyal. Her mirror clones have the memories of the original, as they are imbued with life by using the 'heart' of the original. It has been shown that the clones can circumvent Eva's will and become themselves, and feel alive. The mirror clones also share in Eva's emotions, thoughts, and abilities. Eva is also able to kill her clones at will, in which they give off a faint blue glow, crack, and ultimately shatter into multiple mirror pieces.[3]
          • Accelerated healing factor: Eva is able to rapidly heal her mirror clones of any injuries sustained as seen when Iris' mirror clone's arms were healed within seconds from Eva. Her body is also adapted to the Mirrorverse, as she is not affected by the disruptive high-frequency sound emitted by technology in the mirror verse.[6]
          • Mirror clone powers: All of Eva's mirror clones have the ability to reveal their mirror skin, and even shape it into knives and spikes. They can also pass their bodies through mirrors to materialize them on another mirror to release a deadly surprise attack. The clones are also capable of catropic teleportation and moving in and out of the Mirrorverse unharmed. The clones are able to corroborate with Eva's powers and can become conduits for Eva's ability, so she can affect mirrors in the material world. Her mirror clones also share in Eva's instability, which can weaken them. Mirror clones are also able to destabilize bio degenerative chambers by walking through the emission field, albeit doing so kills them in the process.[3]
        • Catropic teleportation: Eva can link Einstein-Rosen bridges or the fractalized mirror dimension to mirrors, allowing her to essentially create wormholes, or portals, through mirrors. This allows her to move through mirrors, pull others into mirrors, move people in and out of the Mirrorverse, and allow her mirror clones to move in and out of mirrors and into the Mirrorverse unharmed. She can also tether others to the mirror universe, as she did to Iris. When she was trapped in the Mirrorverse, she could not escape as she suffered severe burns if she tries to enter the real world. It was revealed that Eva was able to move small portions of her body through mirrors, albeit with some pain, and her hands appear to be silver, which is most likely a byproduct of her Mirrorverse adaptations. After escaping the Mirrorverse, she can now travel into and between, as well as control, any nearby reflective surfaces. Eva is also able to use the ability on any surface with high solar reflectance, as shown when she used a tray to replace the prismatic scanner with a reverse scanner from the Mirrorverse. Eva can also use this ability to remain inside a mirror and speak to people, and unlike Sam Scudder, Eva doesn't have to jump inside of a mirror to travel through it. As long as a mirror is close enough, she is able to go inside to teleport, appearing as prismatic reflective shard with a very faint blue glow when teleports into, outside, or through reflective surfaces.[3]
        • Mirrorverse communication: Eva has the ability to communicate through mirrors with anyone standing in front of one, such as Iris' mirror clone.[6]

Abilities

  • Genius-level intellect/Master scientist: As a founder of McCulloch Technologies, Eva is keen-minded and has displayed an extraordinarily intelligent, being a quantum engineer.[2]
    • Computer specialist: As a founder of McCulloch Technologies, Eva has some technology skills of great prowess.[2]

Weaknesses

  • Temper: Eva's temper is one of her weaknesses, as when she is provoked emotionally, her mirror clones become unstable and disoriented, leaving them open for attack.[3]

Former weaknesses

  • Power instability: Since being new to her powers, Eva can’t seem to be able to leave and enter the Mirrorverse using her powers as of yet.[2] Although this may be a con as she seems to be able to check on her mirror clone with ease. It was recently revealed that Eva is extensively knowledgeable in her powers, and can use them effectively.[6]
  • Mirrorverse adaptation: It's possible that due to the amount of time Eva has spent being stuck in the Mirrorverse, her body gets severely injured if ever she tries to step foot in the real dimension. Since arriving in the normal dimension, this is no longer an issue.[2]

Equipment

  • Tech suit: After Eva escaped the Mirrorverse she started using a tech suit which can transform her arm into a blaster.[7]
