1. Reverse Flash
No one else could hold this place. Professor Zoom, the Reverse Flash.
Eobard Thawne (that sure is one hell of a name) was a professor in the 25th century who was a huge fan of The Flash. One day, he found a time capsule left by Allen to be discovered in the far future. The capsule contained a Flash outfit, which fueled Thawne’s obsession. After years of work, he managed to give himself super speed, and decided to travel back in time. Unfortunately, this experience broke his mind, and he was driven even more insane.
Thawne, now calling himself Professor Zoom or the Reverse Flash, took on a life of crime and murder in Central City. This culminated when Zoom murdered Barry Allen’s wife, Iris, driving Barry into a deep depression. When, years later, Zoom attempted to kill Barry’s new fiancé, Fiona Webb, on their wedding day, Barry stopped him the only way he could: by breaking his neck. Unfortunately, Zoom was resurrected at the end of Blackest Night, and immediately skipped off into the timestream to damage Barry Allen’s past after streamlining his own.
Zoom is vicious, scarily intelligent, and coldly calculating. And he is far and away the Flash’s greatest foe.
And there we go, my favorite villains from my favorite rogues gallery, all laid out for your entertainment. Just know that I love so many Flash villains that a lot of my favs didn’t even make the list, so if your favorite got left out, that doesn’t mean that I don’t like him or her. So be safe on the streets of Central and Keystone tonight, The Rogues are out for blood.
