Flash Missing Vanishes In Crisis
By Evan Gibbon
Thursday 25, 2024

A deadly game that played out at the main transit point at a secret location this month, with one landing near to where experts overseeing the total destruction of the toxic stockpile were staying, sources said on Tuesday night. One rocket strike on the cities port town Central City landed about 500 yards from the hotel used by the joint mission of the organizers the sources told the paper on conditions of anonymity. The observatory said it was the first attack by insurgents on the area held by anti-government forces. "It was a bit too close for comfort," The Flash said to reporters, "It was similar to earlier incidents in Starling City, which were also diverted." The Flash said three rockets hit the city of almost killing a taxi driver and wounding six others were among the scene. Luckily, and deadly crisis was averted. The Flash also unlikely that Central City which wields veto powers on with the security council and is cities closest political ally would back sanctions against terror.

The deal averted the Central City threat by The Flash that nearl killed hundreds of people in the outskirts of the city. The last progress report issued by the joint mission said leaders had sent six shipments, totaling about 35 percent of the total stock piled by the joint mission said leaders had sent six shipments. Last week, they missed the target to destroy a dozen hangars and underground production facilities. It will also likely not meet this month's deadline to neutralize all chemicals overseas, the sources said. The cost of the operation has run into the hundreds of millions of dollars. The longer it takes, the more expensive it becomes for the international community, which is footing the bill. In addition to a long list of financial.

There's no story. It was a stupid paragraph of text that was posted in a thread I started like 10 loving years ago and it got reposted every time the Flash came up to the point which it was a bannable offense. Thankfully DP agrees that's its loving retarded.

It is just a Wikipedia article. But if you don't see the similarities here. Well...

The "Return of Barry Allen" storyline in The Flash (vol. 2) #74-79 reveals that Thawne started out as a fan of The Flash living in the 25th century and became desperate to meet him. After gaining super-speed by replicating the electrochemical bath that gave Barry Allen his powers, losing years of his life in the process - even undergoing surgery to make himself look like Barry - he traveled backward in time using the Cosmic Treadmill to meet his hero. Thawne became mentally unstable upon arriving several years after Barry's death- the Treadmill having broken down over the centuries- and discovering from the Flash Museum that he is destined to become Reverse Flash and die at the hands of his idol, resulting in his mind - already disoriented by the stress of time travel- seeking escape by convincing himself that he is Barry Allen. However, his true identity is eventually revealed due to his more violent nature, "Barry" attacking Central City in revenge for "forgetting him," until he is ultimately defeated by the Flash family and sent back to the future, his memory wiped of the incident due to the trauma of the time-travel and the beating he had received at the hands of Wally West.

He later became a criminal known as "The Professor," who found a time capsule containing the Silver Age Flash's costume. He was able to use a machine to amplify the suit's speed energy, giving himself the abilities of the Flash as long as he wore it. In the process, Thawne reversed the colors of the costume, the suit becoming yellow, the boots and lightning bolt highlights red, and the chest symbol's white circle becoming black. Taking the new name "Professor Zoom", Thawne used his speed powers to commit crimes, but was stopped by the Flash, who had travelled forward in time to witness the time capsule being opened because it also contained an atomic clock which threatened to explode like an atomic bomb due to the process with which it had been sent into the Future. The Flash, assuming his counterpart might know where the clock was, pursued Professor Zoom. After a destructive battle, the villain was finally defeated when he boasted how he used a chemical coating to protect himself from air friction. Betting that the invisible aura around his body would be superior protection, the Flash seized Thawne and began to push him forward so fast that the intense air friction overwhelmed the coating and the resulting burns forced him to surrender. It proved a waste of time, as Thawne knew nothing about the clock and the Flash was just barely able to find and remove it to an isolated area before it exploded. He also destroyed the costume to prevent such use again.[3]

Blaming the Flash for his defeat, Thawne began traveling back in time to gain revenge, using his knowledge of history to his advantage. In his second appearance he hypnotized Doctor Alchemy, who was trying to go straight, into helping him. He also became obsessed with "replacing" Barry Allen, not only as the Flash, but as the husband of Iris West. After Iris finally made it clear that this would never happen (actually the second time she had insisted this, Thawne having erased her memory of the first time), Thawne (apparently) kills her at a party, vibrating his hand into her head. It took a long time for Allen to get his life back together after this. Shortly after he had found love again, Zoom reappeared, threatening to kill his new fiancee on Allen's second wedding day. Terrified that history would repeat itself, Allen instinctively and inadvertently kills his enemy, breaking Thawne's neck in a final struggle.[4] After he was found not guilty of murder in the subsequent trial, despite the fact that Wally West (the then-Kid Flash and future Flash) testified that Barry could have stopped Thawne without killing him, Barry went to the 30th century to retire and live with the resurrected Iris, as it was revealed she was really an inhabitant of that era sent back for protection and that her mind had been taken from the moment before death, only to later die during the Crisis on Infinite Earths.

It seems against the grain for this show and Arrow for that matter, to use the name of a fairly massive character (for Flash) and it be a fake out. If he's not Zoom then it's kinda pointless.

I still think Wells and Thawne are both Reverse Flash from different times.

Actually my theory is that Wells gives Eddie speed powers after Iris rejects Eddie because she is in love with The Flash so in order to win back Iris Wells offers him the job of being The Flash, because he doesn't think Barry can cut it but it drives him insane and he attacks the Flash.

Nope, your theory is wrong.

They are not going to do a story where a good guy who is in love with the same woman as the hero gets an injection from an amoral scientist that gives him a super power but also makes him crazy and turns him into the hero's nemesis.

Aside from the idea being incredibly dumb, you make it seem as though there is a story like that already somewhere. What story is it? Or am I misreading you?
