Thawne was such a major fan that he actually used his knowledge of the Speed Force to travel back to Barry’s time to meet his hero. In Eobard Thawne’s time, Barry was a figure of the past that was looked on by many as the ultimate hero and inspiration, and by none more than Eobard himself. The original comic book Reverse-Flash, being a citizen of a distant future (actually the 25 th century in the comics instead of the 22 nd like in The Flash), knew of The Flash as a major historical figure.

We know that he hates Barry Allen enough to try to kill him, and when unable to do so, to kill his mother instead. While Eobard Thawne was essentially the puppet master behind everything that went on in season one, we are never really given a sizable backstory. Now that Eobard Thawne is officially returning not only to the lives of our heroes but to his identity as Reverse-Flash it might be time to look back at what we really know about the villain. Labs team, with the help of Eddie Thawne, defeated Reverse-Flash by effectively erasing him from existence. The episode, titled “ The Reverse-Flash Returns,” brings (no surprise) Barry’s season one nemesis Reverse-Flash back to Central City and into the lives of Team Flash again.
Next Tuesday, The Flash will push full force into the back end of the second season.
Next week’s episode of The Flash promises a Reverse Flash origin as Eobard Thawne returns to the lives of Team Flash.
