Professor Eobard Thawne, also known as the Reverse-Flash, is a major antagonist in the Arrowverse, serving as a minor antagonist in The Flash and a major antagonist in DC's Legends of Tomorrow, later also serving as a supporting character in both shows.
He is a time-remnant of the original Eobard Thawne who originated from the Flashpoint timeline. However, unlike his original variant, the time-remnant of Eobard actually is honorable and later even changes his ways after making alliances with many supervillains, this Thawne also merely commits bad actions in the name of the greater good.
Like his original version, he was portrayed by Matt Letscher.
His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Heinous?[]
Background[]
- Being a time-remnant of the original Thawne, he shares the same background and past crimes as him, such as:
- He became the Reverse-Flash out of spite for being destined to become the Flash's archenemy.
- He murdered Tina McGee's security guards to force her to build him a portal back to 2049 and would have killed her afterwards had the Flash not stopped him.
- He instigated the Crisis of 2024 by assisting the Anti-Monitor, causing the greatest devastation to Central City ever seen with the Anti-Monitor's shadow demons before disappearing in an explosion of light with the Flash.
- After finding out Barry Allen is the Flash, he traveled back in time to kill him as a child, only failing after future Barry took his past self out of the house.
The Flash (2014)[]
- While he killed Barry's mother to fix Barry's mistake of causing the Flashpoint timeline rather than out of pettiness, he still showed sadism in doing it.
- Before doing so, he states to Barry that he would be 'begging' for him to kill his mother. He was also quite the hypocrite as he calls Flash the 'villain' for messing up with the timeline, which is uncalled for since he has done much worse than The Flash did.
- After fixing Barry's mistake, he tells him that things aren't the same it was before, implying he knew about Savitar but didn't say anything to his former arch-enemy.
Legends of Tomorrow[]
- He hired Damien Darhk to help the Nazis nuke New York City to destroy the Legends.
- He killed Rex Tyler with his vibrating hand technique for exposing his plan and stole the JSA's half of the Askaran Amulet.
- He massacred an entire squadron of Nazis, though it is deserved for obvious reasons.
- He massacred a DEA squadron.
- He temporarily stole the identity of Martin Stein, though unlike with Harrison Wells, he did not kill him.
- He tried to kill several of the Legends in one place.
- He stole the identity of an astronaut and killed his crewmates under his false identity.
- Kidnapped and tortured Rip Hunter.
- He gained the Spear of Destiny and destroyed it, forming the world in his own image with Doomworld.
- He tried to kill the Doomworld Legends along with the other Legends.
- When protecting the fixed point, he killed numerous people who were trying to stop World War I, although it is out of good intentions as he is protecting reality from collapse.
What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- Unlike his original variant, the Flashpoint variant of Thawne lacks the petty motivations, the envy, the narcissism and he partially redeems himself on the spot by ridding himself of any petty vendettas against Barry Allen for greater goals.
- He shows some genuine honor as he shows genuine respect to Ray (even though he kills him later on), keeping the Legends alive in his Doomworld to honor his deal with Mick Rory, protecting the fixed point until he dies to where he transfers the post to someone else.
- While he starts off as being more on the Faux-Affable side of the spectrum, he grows to become genuinely affable, even to his enemies.
- He genuinely loves Meena as he is willing to give up his own dreams to save her life by giving her the Speed Force. He also saves her from the Negative Speed Force's control with his love.
- He redeems himself by working with the Flash to stop the Negative Still Force from reviving the original Pure Evil Eobard Thawne, but he dies tragically to protect Meena from his original self, with the original Eobard ripping the face of Flashpoint's Eobard from the inside out to return being played for horror and sympathy.
Trivia[]
- He is the first and so far only incarnation of the Reverse-Flash & Eobard Thawne to be IH.
