Eobard Thawne

Eobard Thawne, also known as Adrian Zoom, Barry Allen, Black Flash, Harrison Wells, Mister Zyx, Professor Zoom, Renegade Flash, Reverse-Flash, Thaddeus Thawne II and Zoom, is a character from the DC Comics series.
== Charactah Account ==
Eobard Thawne was a brilliant scientist born in the 25th century, where Barry Allen's heroism as the Flash is the stuff of legend. Seeking to emulate his idol, Thawne traveled back in time to meet the Flash, but learned instead that his destiny was to become the Reverse-Flash, Allen's greatest nemesis. Rendered unstable by this knowledge, Thawne set out to erase Barry Allen from history and establish himself as the one true Flash.
Eobard created his own Speed Force the same way Barry created the normal Speed Force. By duplicating the incident that granted the latter his powers, Professor Zoom was able to create his own Negative Speed Force by generating it through kinetic energy.
Eobard can tap into it as normal speedsters can with the normal Speed Force and can apparently shut off their connection to the latter by "contaminating" it with negative energy. Through this, he has the ability to create multiple after images like Hunter Zolomon, the modern day Zoom, and can travel through and alter time (a feat which most speedsters were never capable of achieving).

== Trivia ==
* One of the concepts for Geoff Johns' run on the Flash after Blackest Night was Eobard making a Reverse-Flash Family. Outside of a one-panel glimpse in a one-shot, this never came to fruition - until issue #755 of the Rebirth series, which finally saw Eobard put together a Legion of Zoom based on Barry's greatest enemies as a prelude to his taking over Barry's body.
* While he's still solely fixated on the Flash Family, the turn of the millennium promotes Eobard to a multiversal threat due to his constant tampering with time.
* Eobard's Rebirth backstory borrows heavily from Syndrome of The Incredibles. They both wanted to be the kid sidekick to their idols, but clearly lacked any ideal traits to be superheroes, and the incident soured their opinions on their heroes.
