DC Eobard Thawne

Occupation: Scientist, criminal 180 cm 81 kgAccording to the DC universe, Eobard Thawne was born in the 25th century and was a huge fan of the 20th-century superhero Flash. As a scientist, he invented an electrochemical bathtub similar to the one that gave the first Flash his powers, and he obtained them by inventing a time machine to travel to the 20th century and meet his idol. However, during his time travel, his mind was damaged, and he began to believe that he was Barry Allen and that the real Allen was an impostor. During the battle, the Flash defeated him and sent him into the future, wiping his memory along the way. However, in the future, Thawne found a time capsule containing the Flash's Silver Age costume, and using a machine he had invented, he imbued the costume with the ability to grant superhuman speed to whoever wore it. Additionally, the machine changed the colors of the costume, making it yellow with a red lightning bolt emblem. Afterwards, he took the name Professor Zoom and became a criminal, but was once again defeated by the Flash, who came from the future. Seeking revenge, Thawne returned to the past and became one of the Flash's main enemies. In Flash #324, the character was formally killed by the Flash and appeared only sporadically in DC Comics for the next 25 years, but was "resurrected" in 2009 by writer Geoff Johns for the series The Flash: Rebirth. In the 2017 Batman-Flash crossover, "The Button" attacked Batman in his cave and beat Batman to a pulp. Immediately after the fight, he was "killed" by Dr. Manhattan and left only a skeleton of him. Later in Flash #23, it is revealed that he is still alive, and he kidnaps Iris, beating up Wally West (the new one), taking her back to the 20th century. There, he shows Barry and Iris their future and then charges the Flash with negative speedforce. In issue #27, the charged Flash beats down Thawne through the time stream and ends up taking his speed. In the same issue, Iris kills Thawne. As of October 16, 2018, he is listed as deceased.
