Wally West / The Flashīarry Allen / The Flash (Image credit: DC Comics)īarry Allen is the first hero to tap into the Speed Force. Barry does it by tricking Thawne into resetting the villain's own timeline and making it so he never had the desire to become more than a Flash fan from the 25th century - and in actuality, becoming the curator of a Flash museum. This action led directly to Flashpoint, which saw Allen and Thawne fighting throughout the timestream, leading to the DC reboot known as the 'New 52.'Īfter decades of terrorizing the Flash, Eobard Thawne was finally beaten (it seems) in 2020's ' Finish Line (opens in new tab)' storyline. When this failed, Thawne went back in time and framed Allen's father for the murder of his mother. Thawne later traveled back in time again, this time trying to prevent Allen from becoming Flash in the first place. Driven insane by the revelation that he was destined to become a villain, and having used plastic surgery to become Allen's spitting image, Thawne attacked Central City, masquerading as Allen before being defeated by Wally West. Johnny QuickĮobard Thawne was the first 'Reverse-Flash,' a man from the future who traveled back in time to meet his hero, Barry Allen. Wally eventually found Savitar and excised him from the Speed Force, and put him away in a prison he hopes can hold him. This caused the Speed Force to break into mainstream DCU and send out surges of energy through those that tap into it - one of those bolts went through Wally West, resulting in the Sanctuary disaster which kicked of the Heroes in Crisis (opens in new tab) event. Savitar re-emerged recently after it was discovered he had found a way to get inside the Speed Force and had been draining away its energy. Savitar later escaped but was seemingly killed by Barry Allen when Professor Zoom altered Allen's powers to cause other speedsters to die at his touch. Savitar also had a cult of followers who worshipped his speed, and in World War II took on Johnny Quick, nearly defeating him before Max Mercury stepped in and trapped Savitar in the Speed Force. Naming himself after the Hindu god of speed, Savitar had the unique ability to sap the speed of others - though his nemesis Wally West was immune to this effect. Originally a supersonic jet pilot for a developing nation, the man known as Savitar gained his super-speed powers when his experimental plane was struck by lightning.
