Eobard Thawne was born in 2151, a member of the prestigious Thawne family, consisting of politicians, scientists, and captains of industry. Through unknown circumstances, Eobard gained a limited connection to the Speed Force, and traveled back to the time of the Flash. Slowly forming a bitter rivalry, the two speedsters clashed frequently, but neither was able to gain the upper hand over the other. In 2024, Eobard discovered the Flash’s true name, and attempted to travel back in time to kill his foe’s younger self. Despite the efforts of the Justice League, both the Flash and Reverse-Flash were sent back in time to 24 years earlier. Attempting to murder a young Barry, the Reverse-Flash was stopped when the Flash carried his younger self to safety. Enraged, Eobard murdered Nora Allen in an attempt to traumatize Barry, then fled.
Before he could return to his own time, Eobard realized he had drained his connection to the Speed Force, stranding him in the 21st century and forcing him to hatch a plan to create the Flash so he can return home. First, he stalked and murdered Harrison Wells, the scientist who created the particle accelerator that created the Flash, and took his place. He then devoted his life to both ensuring the creation of the particle accelerator and watching his nemesis grow. As time went on, “Wells” grew fond of both Barry, though he still hated his future self, and the rest of the S.T.A.R Labs team, in particular Cisco Ramon and Hartley Rathaway, who he later fired to prevent from fixing the particle accelerator. When the accelerator was activated, it malfunctioned, and “Wells” made sure that both Cisco and Grodd, a gorilla who he and General Wade Eiling had been running tests on, were exposed to it’s energy. After the accident, “Wells” faked being crippled so as to stay beneath suspicion, and convinced Barry’s guardian Joe West to let S.T.A.R Labs take care of Barry, who was in a coma after being struck by lightning. When Barry awoke from his coma, he came to the realization that he had super-speed, and began using his power to help people and stop deadly metahumans, with Wells and the rest of the team’s assistance.
