Since leaving the ring, WWE Hall of Famer Adam "Edge" Copeland has taken over the small screen. In addition to starring in Syfy's hit series "Haven," The Rated-R Superstar has been cast as the supervillain Atom-Smasher on the CW's hit show "The Flash." Edge spoke exclusively to WWE.com about his new role.

WWE.COM: So how did you go from playing a heroic supernatural sheriff on "Haven" to a supervillain named Atom-Smasher on Flash?

EDGE: Well, this new career path that I'm on constantly presents all kinds of different roles and when a role as a comic book character came up, I jumped at it.

WWE.COM: Did you read comics growing up?

EDGE: Absolutely. I read The Flash. I read Green Lantern. I loved Batman. I wasn't a Superman guy — I didn't like the invincible superhero who always wins. Who can get behind someone like that?

WWE.COM: Did you have favorite supervillains like Atom-Smasher as well?

EDGE: Sure. I liked The Trickster because he was The Flash's Joker. I liked Solomon Grundy, too.

WWE.COM: I'm not sure if you are following the Stardust vs. Stephen Amell rivalry, but, if by chance the two were to meet and you were at ringside, who would Edge/Atom-Smasher root for?

EDGE: Well, Flash and The Arrow are in the same DC Comics Universe, so I may battle Stephen Amell on the CW and we all know that a Spear is more powerful than an arrow. Then again, I've never wrestled Stardust, but I did compete against Cody Rhodes so I think I'd actually have to be ringside to make my pick.
