Eobard Thawne(Arrowverse)

.Eobard Thawne was a distinguished scienteist of the infulental Thawne Bloodline.He became obsessed with the 21st century hero Flash and duplicated the circumstances which gave Flash his powers.Eobard gained the ability to travel through time.Through the use of this power he discovered it was his destiny to become Flah's greatest enemy,Reverese Flash.

Crushed by the realization he could never be the flash Thawne vowed to kill everyone he loved and take everyone he cared about away from him.After getting stuck in the past Thawne tried stealing a tachyone device to get back home leading to an encounter with the flash who imprisoned him.Flash inquired as to Thawne's reasons for hating him and was disappointed by the answers he got.Thawne was allowed to leave his prison as it was determined his presence there negatively affected the timeline. Flash and his allies even helped Eobard return to his time.

After the initial encounter Thawne fought Flash in several different timelines with neither man ever coming out on top.Thawne somehow found out Flash's identity as Barry Allen and traveled back in time to kill him as ann 11 year old.A future version of Flash went back in time and saved younger Barry.Thawne was distraught and chose to kill Barry's mother Nora in an attempt to prevent Barry from ever becoming the Flash,also framing Barry's father Henry in an attempt to further hurt his enemy.

Shortly after this Thawne was distraught to realise that he'd lost his powers and would be unable to return to the ones he loved in the future.He realised the reason for his loss of power was that without Barry as the flash,he would never gain his powers and began planning how to get back home.

Eobard caused a car crash and killed ceo of star labs Harrison Wells and his wife,Tess Morgan in order to take his body.Thawne had cameras placed all over the city to keep observation over Barry's life.In his life as Wells,it appears that Thawne was a benevolent employer to Caitlin snow,Ronnie Raymond and had a fatherly relationship with Hartley rathaway.He later employed Cisco Ramon who he came to view as the son he never had.

Thawne developed a working relationship With military General Wade Eiling.Upon learning that Eiling had been using his(Thawne's) pet gorillia grodd as a test subject he canceled the project for Grodd's safety.Thawne began the construction of the particle accelerator which would give citizens of central city powers and ensure the creation of the flash.

Hartley discovered that there was a high chance that it would expolde and kill many.in order to keep him quiet Eobard fired Hartley and threatened to end his career if he dared breathe a word about it to anyone

After Barry was put into a coma by the accelerator Thawne convinced his foster father Joe West that Barry should be taken into the care of Star Labs.Though Joe agreed he always remained suspicious of Thawne. due to the high casualties of the explosion everyone but Cisco and Caitlin abandoned the work.Once Barry woke Thawne helped him in his exploits as a hero and in fighting villains in order to advance Barry's speed.Eobard discovered that corrupt businessman Simon Stagg knew about Flash's existence and wanted to use him for somerthing.Knowing he needed Barry alive Thawne killed Stagg to keep him safe.

When the metahuman Betti San Souci began destroying facilities in the city Barry revealed she had a grudge with Eiling prompting Thawne to reveal his history with the man.After Barry brought Bette to star labs Thawne saw an opportunity to get rid of his enemy and tried to manipulate Bette into killing him.Barry stopped her from going through with it but her body began to build up to an explosion and Thawne was forced to coach Barry how to take Bette's body into the water so noone else could be harmed by the explosion.Thawne later had a drink with Joe and realised Joe suspected his involvement in Nora's death.He attempted to prevent further investigation by threatening the life of Joe's daughter,Iris.

Thawne was targeted by a man named Farooq Giibson who had lost friends in the particle accelerator.As Barry had temproraliarly lost his speed there seemed to be no way of escaping Gibson's wrath.Thawne released a metahuman from the pipeline(the prison team flash created to contain metahumans) named Tony Woodward in exchange for protection from Gibson.When Gibson ended up Killing Woodward Barry was furious with Thawne who couldn't understand why,pointing out how Woodward tormented Barry as a child.

When it later seemed like Gibson was going to kill Barry Thawne showed up insisting he was the only one who deserved to be punished and reciting the names of several victims of the accelerator's explosion in order to prove to Farooq that he regretted what happened.Farooq tried to kill him anyway but seeing his mentor in danger motivated Barry to get his speed back and he ended up saving Thawne from Gibson.Barry apologized for asserting that Thawne didn't care about people but Thawne told him that he was right and that he(Barry) was one of the few exceptions to that rule.

Thawne decided to motivate Barry by attacking him as the Reverse flash.Eobard tried to steal a tachyon device from mercury labs in order to lure Barry into a fight.After this worked Thawne severely beat Barry,He later came close to killing Joe but Barry managed to prevent this.

Later Thawne(as Wells) discovered that Caitlin's fiance Ronnie Raymond ,who was belived to have died in the accelerator expolsion was alive and berated the team for not informing him of this.Rathaway turned up again which forced Thawne to confess that he knew there was a chance the accelerator would expolde.The team breifly lost trust in him but Thawne was able to manipulated them into thinking he was a good person by calling a press conference to confess about it.

Following this Thawne took a moment to tell Cisco how much his humanity brought to the experience of working at the lab and he didn't prefer Hartley to him.

Thawne learned that Ronnie had fused with a man named Martin Stein and that since Ronnie's body was rejecting stein the men could cause an expolsion which could kill everyone in central city,including himself.Thawne got a gun intending to kill Ronnie but had a sudden change of heart and created a device which would allow Stein and Ronnie to seperate.After Eiling attacked Firestorm(the name for Ronnie and Stein while they were merged) Thaawne confronted him and refused to give stein or Ronnie up when Eiling asked him too.Eiling then threatened to out Barry's identity if Thawne didn't comply.Thawne had Stein's drink spiked and gave him up to Eiling's custody.After Stein was saved Thawne kidnapped Eiling and let Grodd torture him.

Once Cisco discovered his secret Thawne killed him however this was undone after Barry traveled in time.Barry revealed his time travel to Thawne who warned him not to mess with the timeline.In this alternate timeline Cisco was kidnapped by Leonard Snart who forced him to reveal Barry's identity by torturing his brother.When Cisco tried to quit over his guilt about doing this Thawne was able to provide him comfort and honestly admitted to loving him like a son.When an investigator named Mason Bridge began investigating him Thawne killed him in order to cover his tracks.Barry knew that Mason had been investigating him and it finally tipped him off to Thawne's true nature.

Thawne realised Barry suspected him and had the shapeshifting metahuman Kyle Nymbus disguise himself as Wells leading Joe to Kill him.Reverse flash then kidnapped Barry's friend and Iris's boyfriend(who was also his ancestor) Eddie Thawne to secure leverage against the team.Thawne mocked Eddie telling him that he was the only thawne to ever be forgotten in history and showing him a news headline to demonstrate that Iris would chose Barry over him.

Thawne sent Grodd after the team but Barry and the others managed to handled it.Thawne was finally defeated and imprisoned by Barry with the help of The Arrow and Firestorm.Eobard convinced Barry to help him reurn home by giving him the promise of the opportunity to save his parents using the particle accelerator which head rebuilt However once Barry went back in time his older self convinced him not to save Nora.When Barry showed up again Thawne was infuriated,intending on killing him and everyone he loved but Eddie heorically killed himself to erase Thawne from existence.

The aftermath of Thawne's death he proved he did have an honorable side as in his will he left his house to Barry and made him ceo of Star Labs as well as leaving Barry a video to watch in the event of his demise.In the video Thawne acknowledged he no longer hated Barry after spending so much time with him and confessed to Nora's murder in order to free Henry from prison as a gift to Barry.

Barry later went back in time and prevented Eobard from Killing his mother,creating new timeline and putting Thawne into a cage.Thawne accused Barry of selfishness and told him that he would one day beg him to Kill Nora.After seeing the disastorous consuquences of the timeline he created Barry approached Thawne and told him he needed help to fix the timeline but Thawne refused to help until Barry was specific with his request.Thawne then Killed Nora and took great joy in taunting Barry over it.
