Candice Patton Acknowledges That Iris In a Super Suit on 'The Flash' Is One Of the Most Amazing Things To Happen

Tomorrow night, the world will be blessed with Iris West-Allen in a super suit on The Flash — something that Candice Patton isn’t taking lightly.

Speaking with Variety about the special episode where Iris temporarily gets Barry’s speedster powers, she dished on how it really felt.

“We’ve seen, in little ways, Iris and Caitlin and the other women on the show saving the day without powers, but there is something cool about seeing a strong, badass female superhero [too],” she says.

Candice added that seeing Iris in a super suit will give “young girls something to aspire to” and make them feel empowered — just like Wonder Woman did for many, including her.

“I walked out of Wonder Woman with my girlfriend Caity Lotz who’s on ‘Legends [of Tomorrow]’ going, ‘This is what white men must feel like every day!’ It’s important for young girls to walk out and feel empowered.”

The Flash airs Tuesdays @ 8PM ET/PT on The CW.
