The show 7 Days, the guy has a device that can travel back in time 7 Days and he kinda just replaces himself when he jumps back.

oh okay

i guess that could be the answer but it'd be weird since time travel hasn't worked like that on this show yet

It makes some sense that Joe found a purpose when Barry was left fatherless.

If Wally is still in town I wonder if Iris's mother is as well? In which case maybe it was a situation where without Barry to raise Joe went and found her, and trying to take care of her took its toll

Oh, gently caress, that's a good point. She's have only recently died if she did stick around or Joe got her back.

Edit: Oh man. Wally got his powers while illegally street racing. AND Iris already knows. :allears:

All versions of Thawne own.

Him making GBS threads all over Barry and laughing as his world collapses around him is priceless.

Edit: Aaaahahhaa. "Did you just kidnap her?" "No! I. Uh. Maybe."

Edit 2: "Have I been kidnapped?" "Unclear."

He's a golden age Flash villain, basically Jay's version of the Reverse Flash, except not from the future. In the comics, he invented the Velocity-9 drug they used last season.

Lets be honest, Barry dunking on the dude was pretty sweet.

Bets on Barry's reassertion of Flashness stealing the speedforce from Wally and loving him over?

I don't know that much about DC stuff but I did watch the Flashpoint animated movie and in that there is only so much speed force to go around or something which made it impossible for him to get back to his time until he dealt with Zoom. Been a long time since I saw it but it was something like that. I could see something similar happening here. Barry using the speed force is taking it from Kid Flash.

It does kinda suck that this Flash universe is screwing Barry over so much. RF gets to gently caress with time with no consequence but Barry has to keep whatever timeline he's in stable. gently caress that.
