Eobard Thawne

**Eobard Thawne** is scientist from 25th century and sworn archnemesis of Barry Allen aka the Flash, known better as **Reverse-Flash**.

Thawne was once Flash's biggest fan. So much so that idolization turned into an obsession. Thawne had shrine for the Flash in his home and owned every single piece of survived merchendise, interview, news and books about the original Flash. Thawne started to focus his research on him and specialiced in extradimensional energy source Speed Force, source of skills, powers and energy of the speedsters in universe. At some point, Eobard managed to find origins of Flash's powers and replicated accident on himself in hopes to get same powers and sucseeded in it.

Thawne used his powers to go back in time to visit once iconic Flash Museum that was quit centuries before he was born and decades after Flash's death/disapperence. Eobard found out that Flash's name was Barry Allen and saw all of his Rogues mentioned and his work in Justice League. Then he saw gigantic display of Flash's number one enemy, Reverse-Flash aka Eobard Thawne. Thawne was shocked and horrified to learn that he was Flash's biggest personal villain and in the end, died when Flash avenged death of his wife, Iris. This painful realization broke Eobard and drove him mad and lead him to become the villainous speedster known as the Reverse-Flash. This also lead Eobard to create his own speed force by the being the opposite of the positive one which made it the negative speed force and due to Eobard's arrogant, cruel, unstable and sadistic nature. Eobard also managed to create his own extra-dimensional field and named it Negative Speed Force, which can sevearly hurt regular Speed Force users.

Thawnde deided to make Barry's life a living nightmare for not accepting his friendship and messed around with time, but realized he can't kill him nor stop him from becoming the Flash, since it would erase him from existence. Eobard remembered that Barry's mother, Nora was very dear to him and one of foundations of his morals and was devestaded after her eath to illness and decided that, her death should come sooner and on one night while Barry was 10, attacked Allen home and killed Nora and framed his father with it. To Eobard's surprise this made Barry determinated in getting his father's name cleaned and to prove he was not true murderer and decided to stay in 21st century to see what would happen in his life and at same time push him to his "fate".

When Barry got job as forensic science intern, Thawne took on identity of detective Ethan Dawn and "befriended" with Barry. Year later, Barry's accident happened and started to use his powers for good and put Rogues behind bar for the first time. After this, Allen found Thawne's secret room in his apartment and was forced to reveal his identity to him and confessed he was murderer of his mother and about "original" timeline where she grew old. This angered Barry who had a fight with Thawne, but was badly outmatched. However, Barry with help from his friend Hartley Rathaway, managed to trap Thawne by Flash shooting him in back by Captain Cold's gun and Hartley shooting with Speed Force drainer taken from Eobard's room and made him regular again and Thawne send him to Iron Heights Prison and release Barry's father from there.

Couple years later, escaped Lex Luthor proposed Thawne to have revenge on their enemies and to form a Legion and showed has the drainer, which can also give his powers back, Thawne agreed and Lex released him from his cell, returned powers back to him and the two escaped together to recruit more members.
