The Identity Of 'Reverse-Flash' Revealed In Clip From Last Night's THE FLASH Finale

Last night's epic midseason finale of The Flash was packed full of twists and turns, but perhaps the biggest came at the very end of the episode. Do we finally know the identity of the villainous Reverse-Flash? It certainly seems so! [WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD]

So, Harrison Wells it is! The big question of course is how he managed to be in two places at once, but as Reverse-Flash is a time traveller, it's possible that he travelled back in time in order to do that. It doesn't explain why he's so intent on protecting Barry of course, but it looks like we'll find out in the second half of the season. Is there a chance that Wells isn't Reverse-Flash? Based on the evidence above (him having the suit, the device that Reverse-Flash stole, and healing extremely fast), no! What do you guys think? Share your thoughts and theories in the usual place.

Called it ever since he said "Run Barry RUN!"

Can't wait to see him wear the suit again.

This seems too predictable. There has to be some twist. Still think it's Eddie.

Eddie is the one who killed Barry's mother. not Wells. Wells just wants his powers back.

I love how Barry has the ring on his right, and Wells has it on his left hand. The REVERSE of what Barry has.

I need to order one of these rings now.

Wells has his own agenda. Getting his powers back.

If Wells does not have his powers then how is he able to modulate his voice like he did in this clip? Barry clearly states to Joe that he has to vibrate his vocal cords slower to do his voice which means it takes the use of his powers. It would be the same thing for Wells.

Ok, Eddie is EDDIE goddammit. There is no "other twist". Wells is thawne. When he killed barry's mother, barry "disappeared", causing thawne to believe his own powers wouldn't exist. He is trying to get Barry to become the flash, that way, in the future, he lives instead of dies, that way Wells will be able to generate the speed force again. Thats what the machine is for: to tap into the speed force.

I can't wait for time travel to happen in the show with the treadmill!

Oh, and eddie is Thawnes great x idk how many grandfather. Thats why he was allowed to live. As for the two places at once thing, either time travel or halagrams.

Wells is the only Reverse Flash. He is Eobard and that's it period he didn't kill Eddie cuz Eddie is his great great grandfather and if he did he wouldn't exist

what about the fact cisco said there were two different lightnings in the room when barry's mom died. Does that mean the older flash was in the room when his mom died?

@ThePresidentGaming

Your initial response says "For the idiots" but shows you have little to no comic knowledge...

It would seem clear at this point through characterization and just pure logic that Wells is Eobard Thawne the Reverse Flash also known as Professor Zoom

Eddie wasn't killed because he is Eobards ancestor...or the CW adaptation of Malcolm THawne aka Cobalt Blue

TheRockmore - 12/10/2014, 8:22 PM
@DarthCMPunk Thank god someone uses comic logic
TheRockmore

@robinhood

Tachyon particles are closely associated with time travel...it would seem that Wells lost that ability in his initial encounter with Barry when he (Eobard/Wells) killed Nora Allen...although I still think he can travel fast....I don't think he can break the time barrier...so the tachyon particles would allow for the extra boost needed to break said barrier

I think that Dr. Wells is somehow from the future and also somehow in cahoots with future Eddie. During the course of the show, we may see Barry take Eddie's girl, have a hand in Eddie losing his job, etc... So in the not-too-distant-future, we see Dr. Wells (Professor Zoom) teaming with future Eddie, who hates Barry, and Dr. Wells uses Future Eddie to help him get the tech in the present. Who killed Barry's mom? Not sure if it was Future Wells or Future Eddie. I think they are both using the same suit, except Wells has it in the present and Future Eddie brought it with him from the future. How does Future Eddie have super speed? It's the suit! We'll sort of. That thing that Wells is putting on the chest of the yellow suit at the end... I bet that slowly siphons Barry's power. Barry recharges it without knowing while on the treadmill or something. Kind similar to the amulet that Colbalt Blue uses in the comics, right? And maybe Barry and Eddie are twins switched at birth like in the comics too. Wells could use that fact to manipulate Barry. Still not sure how or why Reverse Flash eyes glow red...

Get that cobalt blue idea out of all your heads Cuz it ain't happenning
AnthonyLantern
AnthonyLantern - 12/10/2014, 8:27 PM
I have a feeling that Reverse Flash could be 2 people. Wells is obviously the main candidate but why would they also point out that RF didn't kill Eddie. That has to mean something
animeex
animeex - 12/10/2014, 8:30 PM
Well no one has touched on the comment Wells said at the end of the Blackout episode. He said about him being able to absorb the Flash's power and that could be used. Just saying.
TomSolo
TomSolo - 12/10/2014, 8:32 PM
@Arrowverse... I don't think Malcolm is technically a Thawne though. I think the Barry's mom and Eobard's wife gave birth in the same one-horse doctor's office. Barry's mom had twin boys, Eobard's wife's boy died as a result of the doctor being drunk and the only one there, so he switch the dead Thawne baby with an Allen boy and told the Allens one of the twins was stillborn. So if Eddie is actually Malcolm, and Wells is Eobard's, wouldn't that mean that the Wells in the present is actually from the past? This is why I hate time travel sh!t. It gets so confusing!

ThePresidentGaming - 12/10/2014, 8:32 PM
It was meant as a joke. The whole "4 the idiots."
TomSolo
TomSolo - 12/10/2014, 8:36 PM
Btw... I a, in no way saying using the Cobalt Blue/evil twin thing is a good idea. I'm just trying to sort out all this nonsense that is in my head. I thought I had everything figured out until I saw reverse flash beating on Wells.
TomSolo
TomSolo - 12/10/2014, 8:38 PM
Also, maybe In the future Barry split into two Flash's, and one is bad, and that is the one that came back in time and is wearing the yellow suit. Comic books pull crap like that all the time.

You guys are confusing me. So wells is the only reverse flash? Or is Eddie also a reverse flash
