Eddie Thawne (Earth-Prime)

"Yesterday, I thought I was a man named Malcolm Gilmore. It turns out that whole life was a lie, and in reality, I was a dead man... some idiot who killed himself to stop a supervillain that didn't stay dead."

- Eddie Thawne

Detective Edward "Eddie" Thawne is a police detective of the Central City Police Department and the ancestor of Eobard Thawne, better known as the Reverse-Flash. After being resurrected by the Negative Speed Force, Thawne was sent to 2049 and lived under the name Dr. Malcolm Gilmore.

One night while working before the deadline, Malcolm Gilmore's project was halted when the lights in his office began flickering, with his computer switching off on its own. Suspicious of the sudden blackout, Gilmore walked towards the windows and saw a red thunderstorm outside. As he turned around, beakers of chemicals started floating upwards and defying gravity.

Gilmore later regained consciousness and saw a classified police file detailing the death of Eddie Thawne, a man sharing his appearance.
