My mistake was being a nobody.' -Eddie Thawne Įdward 'Eddie' Thawne (Januresurrected 2049) is a former police detective of the Keystone City Police Department until he transferred to Central City Police Department. Returning from the dead really has a way of making you realize the mistakes you made in your old life. However, in this version, he’s Iris’s estranged brother.' It's funny. I’d like to say that they were at least creative.įlash III is Wally West, Iris’s nephew from the future. But liberties have been taken with this, and other shows of the Arrowverse.

The DC Encyclopedia lists Zoom as “heir to the sinister legacy of Professor Zoom the Reverse-Flash, Hunter Zolomon was one of Flash III’s closest friends before a series of tragedies ruined his life.” It doesn’t mention Jay Garrick, the Flash of Earth Two aka the Golden Age Flash, though.

He found that the Jay Garrick of Earth One was actually named Hunter Zolomon. Jay eventually told her that he already sought out his other self. After relentless searching, she was left empty-handed. Her hope was that DNA from his doppelganger could lead to a cure. Caitlin Snow, who’s been seeing Jay Garrick, started to notice that his cells were deteriorating – a side effect from losing his speed. I also wondered where the other Barry Allen was.Īll this time trying to list doppelgangers from Earth Two, I never did think that Zoom could be from Earth One. With him out of the equation, I wondered where Earth Two’s Eobard Thawne might be. Before this “Harry” showed up, my first theory was that he was Zoom, since another name for Reverse-Flash is Professor Zoom. So when he met the STAR Labs crew of Earth One, he was actually Harrison Wells. Eventually, Eddie Thawne killed himself to stop the family name and negate the super-villain from existence. Thawne from the 22 nd Century shape-shifted into Wells and took over his identity. In season one, a flashback told that Wells and his wife were killed by Eobard Thawne, the Reverse-Flash, in 2000. Tom Cavanagh reprised his role, but essentially, he was a different character. When Jay Garrick broke through the breach from Earth Two, he brought the villain with him. Many hypotheses have been thrown around as to who is Zoom. Warning: this article contains spoilers from The Flash episode 211: “The Reverse-Flash Returns”
