"The Flash" Season 3 premieres on Oct. 4 in The CW.

Fall is getting closer, which means we're almost back to the regular programming of "The Flash" Season 3. As previously confirmed, the third run of the hit CW drama will adapt the "Flashpoint" arc from the comic books, which means fans will definitely get to meet new villains as well as reunite with returning baddies.

Here's a list of some of the villains Grant Gustin's Barry Allen will have to face in "The Flash" Season 3.

Magenta

Comic Book reported that "Independence Day: Resurgence" star Joey King has been cast to play Magenta. Her power is magnetism and she has the ability to control and create magnetic fields. In the comic books, she was romantically linked to Wally West, who's going to transform into Kid Flash in Season 3. Seeing this connection, fans already have an idea how Magenta might be introduced in the show.

Mirror Master

Grey Damon is taking on the role of Mirror Master and will appear in the fourth episode of "The Flash" Season 3. As per the official description of the character, Mirror Master (a.k.a. Sam Scudder) is a "smooth criminal with a huge ego." He has the ability to "travel through any reflective surface" and makes a name for himself as "the greatest thief that Central City has ever seen."

The Top

"Awkward" star Ashley Rickards will bring to life the female version of The Top, one of the most fearsome members of the Rogues. Like her name suggests, she has the ability to make people's head spin. She's going to debut in episode 4 together with Damon's Mirror Master.

Dr. Alchemy

Just like Mirror Master, Dr. Alchemy is also one of the Rogues in the comic books. His power is derived from the "philosopher's stone," which he uses to manipulate common elements.

Savitar

"The Flash" Season 3 will introduce another evil speedster in the name of Savitar, which will be played by Todd Lasance. In an interview with IGN, executive producer Todd Helbing described Savitar as a "psychological villain in a weird way."

"I think the Hindu word for Savitar means God of Speed; he's all about speed. Everything about this guy is different. I can't go into super detail, but he's not like Zoom or Reverse Flash," Helbing added.

"The Flash" Season 3 premieres on Oct. 4 in The CW.
