## Trivia

* There are several hints that prove Wells is not who he says he is and is the Reverse-Flash:
	+ When he first appeared to Barry in the Christmas episode, he disguised his voice and blurred his face. Barry did the exact same thing when he first came to Iris as the Flash, indicating that it is someone we know.
	+ The fact that he was able to walk without the use of a wheelchair in the pilot episode and had an article about the Flash disappearing in a crisis with the article being dated in 2024.
	+ When Barry showed his first signs of wanting to be a vigilante in the pilot episode, Thawne (as Wells) cruelly states Barry isn't a hero and "Just a guy who was hit by lightning", indicating his hatred for Barry
* In the flashback, "Things You Can't Outrun" Thawne states it felt like centuries for him waiting, referring he comes from the future.
