Alias: Eobard Thawne
Debut: The Flash #139 (1963)
Affiliation: Villain
Whatever name you pick for him – Eobard Thawne, Reverse-Flash, or Professor Zoom – this guy is always one of the most epic characters DC has ever created. The complete opposite of Flash, Thawne is a supervillain that is unique in so many ways. He has been part and even had a role in the development of some of DC’s major narrative arcs, such as Flashpoint or Rebirth, and has managed to become much more than just a Speedster villain – he has become one with the Speed Force, he has become energy. His backstory is also interesting and as it got darker with the years, Thawne became more and more interesting; there is absolutely no doubt that his modern-day iteration deserved a spot on our list.
