Eobard Thawne (Earth-Prime)

Professor Eobard Thawne is a former Metahuman time criminal and an enemy of The Flash and the Legends of Tomorrow, operating as the Reverse-Flash.

After the assassination of Nora Allen, Thawne was stranded in the twenty-first century with no means of returning to his home era. Thawne then took the identity of Dr. Harrison Wells and created S.T.A.R. Labs in order to find a way back to his home time period. Unfortunately, his identity as a villain was revealed and then fought against Team Flash and was eventually erased out of existence when Eddie Thawne committed suicide.

Despite the effort Team Flash had done to erase Thawne from existence, the Flashpoint, where Barry Allen went back in time and saved his mother from being killed, caused Thawne's survival in the timeline. He then operated as a Time Remnant and restored the timeline. He later searched for the Spear of Destiny, a mystical artifact capable of rewriting reality, protecting Thawne from Black Flash's wraith. Unfortunately, Thawne's plan was ruined by the Legends of Tomorrow, who attracted Black Flash and killed Thawne, preventing any possible damages he might do to the timeline.

However, Thawne was re-educated by the Time Wraiths and was assigned to guard the Fixed Point of June 28, 1914, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. He was forced to relive the day over and over again to prevent time travelers attempting to stopping the assassination. His routine was halted when he encountered the Legends, assisting them in breaking the Fixed Point to attract their android counterparts to hijack their Waverider.

While the Time Remnant was trapped, another version of Thawne was created and manipulated Nora West-Allen in 2049, whose was later replaced by his pre-crisis counterpart.

Travelling to the Past
In 2000, Eobard Thawne travelled back in time and fought The Flash in the Allen House which resulted in him murdering Nora Allen.

He later used an Appearance-Stealing Cord to steal the identity of Harrison Wells which killed him in the process, only for him to be resurrected some time later.

Life as Harrison Wells
As Harrison Wells, Eobard began to construct the S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator which would eventually give The Flash his powers.

Eobard also formed a close bond with Hartley Rathaway, eventually becoming his mentor and was responsible, along with Caitlin Snow, for Grodd's testings, with the pair becoming quite fond of him and often visiting him in his cage.

At some point, Eobard began to train Barry Allen and work alongside Team Flash, during which time he taught Barry to throw lightning.

In 2014, Eobard's true identity was revealed to Team Flash who fought and defeated him by erasing him from existence. However, his identity was never revealed to the public and so as a result, Harrison Wells was thought to be the murderer of Nora Allen.

Flashpoint
Despite Team Flash's efforts, Thawne was kept alive by the Negative Speed Force and continued to operate across time as a Time Remannt.

Legion of Doom
In search of the Spear of Destiny, Thawne founded the Legion of Doom with Damien Darhk and Malcolm Merlyn. They then created the Doomworld alternate reality as Thawne killed Ray Palmer. Thawne was later captured by the Black Flash, who alongside other Time Wraiths "re-educated" him before sending him to guard the Fixed Point in 1914.

Possessing Nash Wells
When Earth-Prime was created, the consciousness of the Earth-1 Eobard Thawne was transferred into Nash Wells due to him being the last surviving Wells and Eobard's DNA matching the other Wells doppelgängers, which he saw as an opportunity to regain a physical body.

When the other Wells' relealized that Eobard was with them, they restrained him deep within Nash's subconscious while Harry and Sherloque Wells attempted to get Nash to face his guilt for his part in the crisis and to seek help from Team Flash, with Sherloque eventually imitating Thawne's red eyes as a last resort. However, despite their best efforts, Thawne managed to escape and trapped Nash within his own mind through the use of his memory of losing Maya before he could tell Team Flash.

Once in control of Nash's body, Eobard attempted to murder Cisco Ramon before realising that he no longer had his powers. The two fought for a while before Eobard was incapacitated by Cecile Horton, at which point he was locked up in the Pipeline. Barry then interrogated Eobard where he revealed that his goal was to kill him and all of his loved ones, before taunting him over the death of the Speed Force.

Hours later, Eobard began to impersonate Nash and managed to trick Team Flash into activating Nash's gauntlet which generated a pulse of energy that allowed him to escape. He tried to use a Time Sphere before being interrupted by Barry, who he attempted to trick into using his last remaining speed to kill him. He almost succeeded before they were interrupted by Cisco who used a tranquilizer to subdue him.

Nash ultimately managed to overcome the memory of Maya dying with the help of Barry and Cisco after Cecile put them into his mind. Eobard was then expelled from Nash's body which left him alive as Negative Tachyons.

The Godspeed Imperative
In order to defeat August Heart, the Speed Force tapped into its negative counterpart with Iris as its anchor. Thawne was then given a physical body and released back to Earth, where he arrived at S.T.A.R. Labs and knocked Heart away from Barry Allen. Thawne greeted Barry and lent him a helping hand. The archenemies then worked together and faced Godspeed, who summoned a lightning sword from the sky. Thawne and Barry then summoned their own swords from their lightning, which they used in a truel. As Godspeed attempted to absorb Barry's speed, Thawne took the chance and stabbed his sword in Godspeed's chest. Barry then ran to Godspeed and revealed his survival, which Thawne did not regret as he believed that was what Barry summoned him for. Thawne then took the opportunity and attacked Barry, only to be overpowered by Barry's improved speed over the years. Thawne questioned Barry's abilities, with him asking him if he got faster. Thawne was ashamed by his lack of improvement and promised to return with a faster speed, then ran away to a unknown location.
