firestorm was alone in that reactor when he "died" how did his personalities merge
 
I think Eddie will rock the slow burn before becoming Zoom. I think most of the focus of the first season will be on Wells/Reverse Flash and maybe something at the end of the season will be a catalyst for Eddie.

I figure it'll go:
Wells = Reverse Flash w/ powers from suit
Eddie = Zoom w/ metahuman powers of some kind

Or you know Eddie could just be Tommy 2.0 and die to push Barry and Iris forward.
 
New theory on the two Wells/Zooms:

Wells is Eobarde Thawn, a genius Flash fanboy from the future. He manages to duplicate Flash's powers, and decides to give Flash a gift by going back to save Barry's mother. He fails, and eventually unmasks Reverse Flash and sees that it's himself.

Thawne creates the Wells persona, and commits to making Barry a better hero. He is willing to hurt Barry and anyone else to make Flash better.

Reverse Flash is further down Wells' timeline, after Barry finds out and rejects him. After being rejected by his hero, Wells obsessive adoration turns into hatred, and that's when he fully becomes Reverse Flash and travels back to kill Nora Allen.

My guess is that he got vaporied and then his particles escaped when the energies broke through the barriers and spread through the city. THe part of energy that contained him just hit the old dude. In a way...Ronnie is the power.
 
I'm actually not so certain that there are two copies of Wells. Perhaps he's just so fast that he can continuously switch places without others being able to notice. The reason I think this is because, at the end of the episode, Wells has the tachyon device in his possession, whereas we see RF take it from the lab earlier.

Also, I kind of like the name Speed Psycho. I know Cisco wasn't trying out names, but it was funny and fitting.

Just thinking about having to do this is exhausting and frustrating. It would be like weeks worth of just changing clothes over and over again. Makes me think of this.

Kicking his own ass also becomes a lot more convoluted at that point.
 
Just want to point out that i love what they did with Reverse-Flash. This might be the first time i actually find a comic book villain to be scary.

One more tidbit on what's to come later this season:
EW's Spoiler Room said:
Q: Do you have any scoop on the next time Barry will face Reverse Flash on The Flash?

A: After the disastrous first bout, Barry will set his sights on testing the limitations of his powers in a bid to match his nemesis. “We’re exploring the vibrating a lot going forward and what the vibrating can do,” Grant Gustin says. “And how to slow things down, see things and survey situations with time stopped, essentially.” Will those powers also include time travel? “Maybe,” Gustin says with the highest pitch voice of someone trying to keep a secret.

This is an excellent way to put it.


You can count me among the people pleasingly surprised by how menacing he looks. The fx team really captured the feeling of facing an unstoppable, evil force. Reverse Flash is unlike any other villain so far.
 
Probably already talked about, but I was just watching the mid season finale in HD on Sky One and I just noticed that Wells wounds start healing after he attaches the particle to the suit.

So was he suppressing his powers or did attaching the particle to the suit change the future to allow him to have the powers?

If that's true I completely missed it.

I completely missed it before too. Interesting implications if he's a future version of the reverse flash. Did he come back in time to test Barry or did he come to kill Barry but ended up stranded after Barry from that time also travelled back and stopped him?

But then where does that leave that Barry? We know he's not in his time from the newspaper headline...Stuck in the speed force? Stranded the same as Wells?

I wonder if that ring he put on has any effect.

I think the ring only gives access to the costume. Flash is the same in the Justice League cartoons as well as Flashpoint Paradox, although his suit is actually inside the ring.

The particle most likely powers the suit which in turn gives the wearer powers. In the comics, the suit basically gave the wearer the Flash's powers when worn. The particle from Mercury Labs which in theory would allow someone to travel at light speed is most likely the power source for the suit and what would enable him to hypothetically travel through time.

So could it also effect anyone standing nearby? Like would it be able to heal Wells if he was in close proximity to the particle as it powers up the suit?

He's clearly not the reverse flash that's currently running around Central, so I'm wondering if he needed that particle to power a version of the suit and allow him to become the reverse flash in the future?

Basically a forced power up to become flash without going through the process Barry went through.

Yeah, that's definitely how I'd describe it too. They absolutely nailed the menace and terror.

I almost hope they don't go into too detailed an explanation simply cause doing so would remove the sheer mysterious terror of him

Only a matter of time.
 
Man, you know what'd be cool? 5 seasons with each season focusing on a different Flash/group of Flashes.

Season 1: Barry dies at the end, creating the Speed Force.

Season 2: Wally West steps up into the mantle of the Flash in the wake of Barry's death, now with Speed Force powers and dealing with more speedsters. At the end, Bart Allen as Impulse, shows up from the future.

Season 3: Wally and Bart work together as a tag team. Probably with some "need to alter the future!" type thing. At the end of the season, Barry Allen shows up.

Season 4: We see at the beginning of the season that Barry did not in fact die, but he went back into the past (dunno how far. 50's?). Somehow the Speed Force went across time as well and now Barry has to figure out a way to get back to his own time, while working with Jay Garrick. Season ends with Barry going to the present.

Season 5: Barry, Wally, and Bart end up teaming up. Somehow go to the future and they end up getting involved in the massive "Crisis" referred to in Wells paper. Barry travels back and fights Reverse Flash (akin to the beginning of the series). During this event, Barry's mom does die, but Reverse Flash is apprehended and the "Crisis" averted.

Or something similar.

lmao, amazing

Holy shit.

Speaking of holy shit, can someone give the guy who plays Iris's Dad an Emmy? 'I need my Barry' is a terrible bit of dialogue, but he activated an acting speed force and sold that moment. By far the best actor on either show, and forces Grant Gustin to up his game everytime they interact.
 
My favorite part of Reverse Flash so far is how he absolutely relishes saying the word Flash. It's some real haughty shot

Wells saying it in the same manner is doubly awesome

Also #dead at that ZOOM Snapshot
 
What other c-list heroes/villains do we want to see for flash?

Psycho pirate would be neat, but Rainbow Raider or w/e was pretty much almost the same concept.

Plastic Man could be amazing if pulled off right.

I think the JSA is very likely though. IIRC they mentioned (easter egg spoiler)
Al Rothstein being caught in the blast (Atom Smasher)
. We have Arrow Season 3 Spoiler
wildcat from arrow
. Hourman could use a mirakuru derivative, Doctor Midnite wouldn't need much explanation to be plausible. Mr. Terrific could be a thing, but Ray Palmer taking his place seems likely. The big question mark is Alan Scott, Hawkman and Powergirl (who could easily be replaced by Supergirl in the upcoming CBS Series).
