Farooq Gibran

About:
Farooq Gibran, also known as Blackout, was a junkie who was in Central City during the particle accelerator explosion. He wanted to get a better view of the particle accelerator activating so he climbed on an electrical tower. Then the particle accelerator exploded giving Farooq electrical powers but also stopping his heart. Farooq's friends, Daria Kim and Jake Davenport, then tried to do CPR on him.

His powers activated when he resusciated and so he killed his friends. He blamed "Harrison Wells" for both their deaths and swore vengeance for them. He then killed someone a couple of months later and a little later he got confronted by The Flash. Farooq blasted The Flash causing The Flash to temporarily lose his powers.

Farooq also appeared at S.T.A.R. Labs to try and get revenge on "Harrison Wells". "Harrison" then released Tony Woodward to try and kill Farooq but eventually Tony was the one who ended up getting killed. In the S.T.A.R. Labs parking garage Farooq finally got confronted by "Harrison" and just as he was about to kill "Harrison" The Flash got his powers back.

The Flash quickly saved "Harrison" and then because he was stronger than ever Farooq couldn't take The Flash's powers again and then died because of an overdose of energy. Later "Harrison" went back to check on his body and took some blood to find out how he could stop The Flash's powers from working.
