In an upcoming episode of CBS' "The Flash," Matthew Kevin Anderson will be introduced as the criminal metahuman Clive Yorkin.

In "The Flash" season 3 episode 12, titled "Untouchable," the metahuman, who will be portrayed by Anderson, will have the power to make people decompose at a really fast pace, which will eventually bring the unfortunate targets to die.

Based on the comic books, Clive is a career criminal who has committed several crimes, a few of which are robbery and murder. He desired to treat his impulses by signing up for an experiment called Nephron Process, which was supposed to pacify the urges that lead him to commit crime. But the experiment only made it worse for Clive, which consequently gave him his terrifying metahuman powers.

As revealed in the synopsis for the episode, Yorkin's initial target will be detective Joe (Jesse L. Martin), but his daughter Iris (Candice Patton) will somehow be caught in the middle of the squabble. Since The Flash (Grant Gustin) foresaw Iris' future, he has been more cautious with the events leading up to her death. And this being one of them, the titular character will be doing his best to save Iris and will be careful enough not to cause or contribute to Iris' death. If the TV adaptation follows the comic books, The Flash will be teaming up with a psychic to catch Clive.

Also happening in the same episode, Barry a.k.a. The Flash will be taking Wally's (Keiynan Lonsdale) training sessions to a whole new level.

Anderson is best known for portraying Detective Lovello in "Impastor." He will be part of an upcoming film adaptation called "Death Note," which is based on a popular anime of the same name.

"The Flash" season 3 episode 12, titled "Untouchable," airs on Tuesday, Feb. 7, at 8 p.m. EST on The CW.
