[3][6], Having spent years trying to discover the Speed Force's secrets, Eobard became so fascinated and obsessed with the Flash to the point that between the 2170s or 2190s he learned of his lifelong idol's origins and how these super-powers were obtained. [36][37] He knew Stagg wasn't really a philanthropist but a greedy and corrupt man famous for others' scientific achievements. He willingly sacrificed his dream to be a speedster to save the woman he loves, indirectly rejecting his fate as the Reverse-Flash. If he is involved in Nora's death, it is imperative that he helps in solving the murder case so he can cover his own. As Barry now understands the situation, he left Thawne's cell, only for the latter to smirk back.[80]. To account for the possibility of Barry's increasing speed against him, Thawne planed to exploit Barry's speed only when Barry was fast enough to time travel not one second later, thereby giving him enough opportunity to kill Barry if necessary. After a suggestion from Cisco, Barry, Cisco, Caitlin and Thawne all took a group picture together. Their fight caused several trucks to start leaking their contents onto the streets, and caused power outages spread over 20 blocks throughout the city. All that stuff that you see is not a mustache-twirling, villainous starting point. However, Reverse-Flash used his psychic powers to make the four speedsters see knocking out Reverse-Flash while it's actually Impulse taken down, and he sent Fast Track, XS, and Impulse "a billion years" back in time. However, Barry knew that their fight was very far from over as arch enemies. Following a later run-in with Clyde Mardon's weather manipulation, however, Barry returned, angry that Thawne had seemingly lied. Barry was fine with it, but Eobard pleaded for Barry to take him back to 2000 to correct what was done and that Nora's death needed to happen in order to make things right. Thawne then told Joe about his "past" and why he moved to Central City as there were too many painful memories to endure (presumably acting on Harrison's memories). When Joe asked if his particle accelerator was possibly involved, Thawne reminded Joe that the murder occurred 14 years ago long before his contraption was even thought of. After Hartley is locked up in the meta-human prison, Thawne asked how Hartley figured out that the Flash worked with S.T.A.R. Labs, and Thawne spoke on how the particle accelerator's activation would revolutionize several fields of science overnight. The following day, Thawne had a drink with Joe, where Joe subtly suggested that Thawne was involved as he arrived in Central City shortly after Nora's murder. Labs tearfully quitting the team in shame, having been released by Leonard and Lisa after revealing the Flash's secret identity or Dante would've been killed, however, Thawne reminded Cisco that choosing between loved ones is an impossible choice and Cisco regardless is still family and stays. To distract Team Flash, Thawne ordered Grodd to be a distraction using whatever means Grodd saw fit while he constructed a device to re-power the particle accelerator, while keeping Eddie tied to a chair. [84] Following this, the trio traveled to the Time Masters' former base of operations in the Vanishing Point and began using the ruins as their own base.[89]. [19], Nevertheless, the pause allowed the Legends to reach S.T.A.R.

After Barry returned to S.T.A.R. As Cisco worked on using the treadmill as a conduit to achieve this, Thawne released Tony and offered freedom in exchange for killing Blackout to buy them enough time to achieve their plan though this came at the cost of Tony's life. [43], In 2013, Thawne hired an earlier version of Cisco, knowing of Cisco's engineering talents based on his first interaction with Cisco's future self in 2016. Eobard was then sent to an A.R.G.U.S. Eobard and his co-conspirators eventually retrieved the Spear of Destiny, which they used to rewrite reality to their whims. Although Barry could just heal, Thawne said Barry can't heal after possibly being killed. Armed with the knowledge of possible futures, Eobard would display great pride and cockiness, creating an aura of the all-knowing mastermind around himself to both his enemies and his allies. [24] Thawne's actions had profound impacts on Barry's life both as the so-called "man in yellow" (an alternate name before his true alter ego was revealed) and as Wells.

Thawne then told Barry could stop Girder if only moving fast enough as any material can be struck at a high enough velocity. He was seemingly helpless to move (though faking in reality), however, Barry finally regained his own speed and allowed Blackout to drain once more but the amount of power overloaded and killed Blackout, while the resulting energy fed back on the Flash and charged up his protg's speed further. "Because I hate you," Wells, who is now held up in STAR Labs' Pipe prison, replied. [103] As Grodd continued to grow in intelligence and size, Harry used the second suit to impersonate Reverse-Flash in order to save Caitlin from Grodd. While working at S.T.A.R. March 17 2015, 6:00 PM PDT. [2] From this point forward, Eobard underwent massive changes in his personality, behavior and mental health due to his exposure to the negative tachyons that it made him more dangerous and unstable every time he abused it, to the point he rendered himself nearly invulnerable to timeline changes. Relieved to see what Barry is experiencing, Eobard explained to Barry that this reality was beginning to overwrite the reality they're familiar with, so that soon Barry won't remember the reality they're familiar with. After one last "repent," Shinick commented on the irony of the situation; the very same thing behind Thawne's powers was going to kill him. Born in the 25th Century, he is a time-traveler who attempts to destroy everything the Flash has ever stood for through murder and deceit. However, he discovered Atom has sneaked aboard and they fought, though Eobard is unable to use speed in zero gravity, but Atom managed to beat him and tied him up. After the timeline was changed back to normal, Eobard was being erased from existence by the timeline itself, even his connection to the Negative Speed Force was not able to prevent this from happening. Eobard assisted Gavrilo Princip, the remaining assassin, in killing Ferdinand but was shortly thereafter confronted by a robot clone of Sara who he believed to be the real Sara. However, over the years, they have been known for their slow response times, their limited customer service, and their reliance on outdated technology. As a result, Eobard asked Team Flash to help save his life. As his patience began to wane, Eobard is informed by Damien and Malcolm that torturing Rip would not work because Rip literally couldn't tell where the Spear of Destiny was as the man's memories had been wiped. but i really wonder what the future flash did to him.

As a thank you for their help, Barry gave Thawne, Cisco and Caitlin a Christmas present each, but Thawne declined Barry's offer of eggnog. Labs, he was placed into a forcefield to both monitor his condition and make sure he doesn't hurt anyone. That coupled with his discovery that he was destined to become the Flash's greatest enemy, the Reverse-Flash, Thawne lost his mind and took his rage out on his idol out of envy of not being who he is and spite for humiliated him. Angered but soon unwavered by his nemesis's sabotage to his trip home, Eobard said he would find another way to travel to the future and boasted his superiority to the Flash before issuing a challenge to catch him. Thawne was already aware of Arrow's true identity (presumably because of his future knowledge). He kept Rip stuck inside the Waverider which was powerless and shrunken down and put on display on his desk, driving Rip insane with nothing else to do but bake cakes. When the Flash went after Peek-a-Boo, he reminded the Flash that Peek-a-Boo can't teleport if the woman couldn't see, leading to the Flash busting out all the lights in the tunnel.[50]. [53] Unfortunately, Team Flash would later discover that Hunter actually was Zoom all along and there to exploit Barry's powers for his own use, thus Barry blamed himself believing Hunter's faade and should have known better after Eobard's impersonation. Noticing how surprised his nemesis is, Thawne explained that he had grown fond of Nora too and that he truly considered Nora like a daughter, which made the Flash angrier. So it's that sort of well, that absence of love, that absence of acceptance that drives him to be greater, smarter, faster, better than the Flash, and it's kind of a sad loop that he finds himself in". [65] On December 10, 2019, when an antimatter wave hit Earth-1 and the multiverse was destroyed,[64] Thawne's body was also obliterated, reducing his existence to nothing more than negative tachyons, though his consciousness was preserved within the Negative Speed Force. However, Eobard anticipated all of this. He ran directly into Godspeed, saving the Flash and projecting Godspeed few blocks away. Since then, the two speedsters battled each other for many years, but neither of them was strong or fast enough to defeat the other. Others believe that the companys reliance on old technology has caused their customer service to become poor, and that they have stopped releasing new software. As Eobard questioned who should die first, Rip revealed himself and pulled a gun on them, only for the so-called weapon to be a film prop which amused Eobard's syndicate, unaware of Rip's suffering amnesia. He opted to become the reverse of everything the Flash was, vowing to kill as many people as the Flash saved. Knowing Nora was still watching him from the lab, Thawne waved at the camera before Nora left.[17]. Labs' satellites, and thus Orlin Dwyer is now an easier-to-stop version of Cicada. Thawne agreed to help Nora, after which he looks at the countdown, reminding them both that he has little time left. However, they were distracted by the appearance of The Arrow of Starling City who both Thawne and Joe distrusted, due to the vigilante's previous body count and the terrorist attacks committed by Malcolm Merlyn/Dark Archer and Deathstroke since Arrow was active. If you like TVLine, you'll LOVE our email news alerts! In this new clip for the Season 1 finale, Wells (whose real name is Eobard Thawne) tells Barry why he killed his mother.

While Thawne desperately searched for a solution, Farooq attacked S.T.A.R. Barry's twin Malcolm Thawne is his ancestor. Testing his newfound powers and killing civilians randomly, Reverse-Flash is confronted by the Flash, XS, Impulse and Fast Track who are all engaged in a huge fight. Nora was more scared of being hated by Barry if the truth came out, so Thawne suggested to distract Sherloque by helping the detective fall in love. Thawne got placed inside the chamber as Shinick took his chest plate away, revealing Cicada's dagger inside.[59]. My speed is my life. [16][114], In a possible future which his nemesis's daughter hails from, Reverse-Flash's suit (equipped with his tachyon device) gets displayed within the Hall of Villains in the Flash Museum along with other memorabilia from past villains that Team Flash had fought and defeated. After Leonard returned, Barry decided to pursue Leonard, though Thawne warned Barry that Reverse-Flash is a greater threat. However, Eobard was played by two different actors. He told Barry already that they'd fought for a long time. Thawne told Cisco to never do anything as to build such a weapon again, though he was unaware of another weapon that Cisco had built which was also stolen. Before he could kill Amaya, Eobard is alerted that Black Flash was close and sped off to avoid this. [9] Thawne then became consumed with an insatiable and everlasting hatred for the Flash who he began to see as the villain from his point of view. He began speaking on stage, claiming that the particle accelerator would create a brighter future, bringing advancements in power and medicine, as well as physics as they knew it. Eobard then traveled back to 2014 and located Captain Cold before having joined the Legends and turned from criminal ways, revealing Leonard's future death being all they needed to have Captain Cold agreed to help them in getting the Spear of Destiny. Eobard died for the fourth and last time after he was killed by the Negative Still Force, only to be reborn by killing his amnesiac time remnant but died afterwards by overdosing his powers from the Negative forces and after Barry reversed time to cancel Eobard's attack. Labs until projects were completed and sometimes remained there for months. [98] While Barry did still hate Eobard for everything he did, Barry eventually chose to forgive him, trying in not wanting to hate him anymore. Realizing that time had been reversed, Thawne turned around and greeted the two heroes while also being impressed that XS figured out how to reverse time, once again complimenting the "clever girl.". and our [76] Eddie still committed suicide in 2015 and erased Thawne from existence for the time being,[8] which also resulted in the singularity. Is it true that Harrison Wells was concerned about Barry? Thawne quietly admitted that he could not teach Nora due to his time running out, as he noted the clock in his cell, which read a little over an hour left. To stop Farooq, Thawne theorized that Barry's cells were still altered. Reason why Simon Stagg got knifed by Harrison Wells? [82] His nemesis then took Reverse-Flash back to the new version of 2016, took his ring from him, and constructed a speed-dampening cell using carbine material to imprison him in an abandoned factory. Reverse-Flash reminds Joe of being warned. Thawne sent Caitlin and Cisco to inventory supplies where the two unexpectedly encountered Deathstroke's army.[43]. While building a potential time machine for Thawne, Cisco visited him for advise on materials. As his former idol was disgusted to learn what was behind Eobard's motivations, even revealing that someone had been killed by Eobard's future self, Eobard angrily stated that he had become better than the Flash and was the one thing the Flash could never stop, and he promised that one day he would learn his nemesis's real name. One of the fun things is discovering, like on Doctor Who, whats a fixed point in time and what cant be changed, what things always have to happen, and then what things are changeable and mutable. [13], Shortly after, Eobard found himself pursued by Black Flash, a black-clad demon-like speedster who now served as the Speed Force's enforcer. When Wells was able to catch up to Cisco, he was able to kill him with a powerful sonic blast. And thus, time would rubberband because of the paradox Eobard created. Thawne then arrogantly declared that he always won due to being the only speedster who's able to manipulate the timeline to fulfill his desires. Thawne assured Nora that Sherloque had yet to discern the mystery partner's identity, otherwise Barry would travel to 2049 and threaten to phase a hand through Thawne's heart. Eobard traveled to 1942 and began secretly aiding high-ranking members of the Nazi party to obtain the Askaran Amulet's first half, providing future information and the means to win World War II in exchange for the device. Despite being outnumbered, Thawne was unfazed and confident he could fight the three, and he engaged them all at once. [16], On December 11, 2013,[46] Thawne held an event at which he planned to switch on S.T.A.R. The Flash eventually prepared for the jump and ran at the speed required and Thawne tutored on how to access the time the Flash wanted, and successfully time jumped to that night to prevent the Allen family from suffering Eobard's actions. However, Eiling personally tracked Bette but Thawne distracted the general long enough for Barry to get Bette out of the facility. [17] The particle accelerator was then switched on. While the team were outraged of the concept, Thawne told them that Firestorm would likely sacrifice themselves. Wells had been tracking Ramon for a while and had been planning to kill him for a while, but he was hindered by the Flashs speed and by Ciscos own super-speed. All Rights Reserved. To shut up Barry of the future accidentally revealing future knowledge trying to convince the team of being from the future, Thawne played dumb and pretended that he'd just met Barry of the future, and told the team to prepare the particle accelerator, telling Barry of the future to travel through time to outrun the Time Wraith, while they build a sonic weapon to stop the Time Wraith for good when returning with Barry to 2016. [24] According to Iris in 2049, some sources describing the battle claimed that Reverse-Flash controlled an army of shadow demons and that Flash was instead or also aided by Batwoman, Elongated Man and Supergirl. Thawne gets bitterly told by Barry that he was finally going to get what he deserved and sped away, as the clock counting down to Thawne's execution ticked down to ten minutes. Those two agendas are simpatico. In the lab, Thawne gave Nora water, and questioned how Barry would get Cicada's dagger to which Nora answered by showing him a piece of Savitar's suit. A few hours later, Reverse-Flash stormed Mercury Labs looking for a tachyon prototype device, killing the guards yet was unable to reach the device due to the doctor sealing it away and he stormed off. Thawne saw this as an opportunity to curb his bloodlust, but Barry claimed that there's a letter left for his protg if something happened, detailing Thawne's plan worked and how to stop him. This went on for so long that a bar was founded for time travelers to wait their turns to attempt to prevent the assassination and watch as others tried and failed. Arriving back in time to take his speed mirage's place, Thawne gets tended to by Caitlin and Cisco who profusely apologizes for the force-field failing.
