Thomas Wyatt

*"I'm sure that many of you were concerned when he was no where to be seen, however, I am willing to be the new hero of this city. Not only do I protect you from behind my office desk but I will put myself out there to fight for our city. Let today show that Rapidity is an unreliable vigilante."*
—Thomas Wyatt
**Thomas Wyatt** is the father of Barry Wyatt and an opponent of his vigilantism.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Superhuman Strength:** Thomas possesses a tremendous level of superhuman strength and is very muscular. He is able to send a man flying through the air with an uppercut. During the attack on Nick Russell's retirement ceremony, he threw the Eagle at Electrify with ease. When the First National Bank of Siren City was robbed, he picked up a car and kicked it at one of the robbers, threw the others around with ease and tore off one of their arms. He also picked his son up by the neck and punched him away with enough force to break the sound barrier. He was able to shoulder-check him several yards away and punched a large depression into the side of a building after hitting him, and drew blood with a headbutt. He also threw a Volvo at him and knocked an SUV out of his path using his shoulder.
* **Superhuman Durability:** Thomas' anatomical strength is equally impressive, being able to withstand immense physical punishment. For instance, he can jump down from high buildings and land on concrete with no discomfort, even leaving a depression in the pavement under his feet. He tanked a grenade launched into his chest, and although he was blown back, he walked it off. While Barry was able to knock him out by stomping on his face, he resisted having his face repeatedly slammed against the pavement and shocked by his kinetic energy-charged grappling hook.
* **Superhuman Speed:** Thomas can run at high speeds with his incredibly strong legs, which allowed him to catch the Eagle's wing and dodge Lucy Jones' portal bullets. However, he is nowhere near as fast as his son.
* **Superhuman Stamina:** Thomas produces fewer fatigue toxins than a human being, allowing him to push himself for long periods of time. However, Barry was able to wear him out during the fight outside First National.

### Abilities

* **Expert Combatant:** Thomas is a highly skilled field combatant. Whereas his son is a striker/high flier hybrid, Thomas is a technician powerhouse, as he relies on grappling techniques when he is not throwing powerful punches.
* **Gifted Intelligence:** While Thomas is neither academically nor scientifically inclined, he is a smart, albeit sociopathic man. He is manipulative and socially intuitive.
	+ **Expert Tactician:** Thomas is the leader of Team Alpha.

## Techniques

* **Scoop Slam:** Thomas reaches between his enemy's legs with his stronger arm and reaches around their back from the same side with his other arm, lifts them up and turns them upside down so that they are held up by his arm cradling their back, then throws them to the ground.
