- "We're all reflections. Faster, stronger than our human counterparts whose faces we share."
- —Mirror Iris West-Allen to Ramsey Rosso[src]
Mirror duplicates, also known as reflections,[1] were mirror copies of some humans created by Eva McCulloch as replacements for their Earth-Prime counterparts.
History[]
Eva McCulloch of McCulloch Technologies was blasted with energy after the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator exploded and she crashed into a mirror there. The real Eva was killed, but a mirror duplicate of her was created; she thought herself as the original.
At some point, Eva created a duplicate of Sam Scudder. This being was her first experience at creating mirror duplicates.[2]
After Iris West-Allen was trapped in the Mirrorverse, Mirror Iris West-Allen was created as a replacement, identical to Iris but with better abilities. [3]
Later when Kamilla Hwang discovered the true form of Mirror Iris with the prismatic filter in her camera, Mirror Iris shot her with the mirror gun and Eva created a mirror duplicate to replace the real Kamilla, whom she sent with Mirror Iris to find the prismatic refractor.[4]
Sometime after the Crisis, David Singh was captured and replaced. His first mission was to get Joe West to go into witness protection so that he would not get in the way of Eva's plans for Joseph Carver.[5]
Mirror duplicates
Since Eva only viewed the mirror duplicates as "reflections" of herself, she used them as however she pleased. Mirror Kamilla was ordered to kill herself to get the blood sample that Eva needed from Ramsey Rosso,[1] and later, Eva used the true form of Mirror David as a wormhole to teleport into McCulloch Technologies and surprise the Flash.[6] However, any act of rebellion where the duplicate thought for itself was quickly thwarted. Eva's first act on Earth-Prime was the destruction of Mirror Iris for wanting independence.[1]
Mirror David's face cracks apart.
With the invention of her suit, Eva no longer needed mirror duplicates to do her bidding outside the Mirrorverse. Though Eva was still taking people into the Mirrorverse, she wasn't making any more mirror duplicates.[6]
As part of her effort to dismantle Black Hole, Eva destroyed the Sam Scudder duplicate. Afterwards, Eva researched files of Joseph Carver and learned that she was a duplicate herself.[2]
When Eva was publicly exposed as a mirror duplicate, she decided to replace all the inhabitants of the earth with her mirrored versions.[7] Her duplicates were attacking Central City citizens until she was convinced by Iris to give up. She then destroyed all the duplicates, returning the real people to the Earth. Eva then went back to the Mirrorverse.[8]
