Eobard Thawne

Eobard Thawne (イオバード・ソーン, Iobādo Sōn), also known as Professor Zoom (プロフェッサー・ズーム, Purofessā Zūmu), is a fictional character and antagonist of the DC series. He was a brilliant scientist born in the 25th century, where Barry Allen's heroism as the Flash is the stuff of legend. Seeking to emulate his idol, Eobard traveled back in time to meet the Flash, but learned instead that his destiny was to become the second Reverse-Flash (リバース・フラッシュ,  Furasshu), the archenemy and greatest nemesis of the Flash, who wants to destroy his enemy and everything he stands for. Rendered unstable by this knowledge, Eobard set out to erase Barry Allen from history and establish himself as the one true Flash.

"Oh, I'm not like The Flash at all. Some would say I'm the Reverse."

Biography
Eobard Thawne was a fan of Flash's from the future, who replicated the same experiment that gave Flash his powers. After traveling back and learning of his destiny as the Flash's nemesis, he sought to ruin Barry's life, due in part to the fact he cannot kill him without creating a time paradox. One of the worst acts he committed was killing Barry's mother.

Powers

 * Negative Speed Force: After duplicating the incident that gave Barry Allen his powers, Eobard began generating a negative version of the Speed Force, the energy field that gives speedsters their powers. This grants him access to all of The Flash's powers, along with some unique ones of his own.
 * Super Speed: As expected of the Reverse-Flash, Professor Zoom's main ability is his ability to move at superhuman speeds, up to at least 7,500,000 mph. He's consistently shown to be capable of keeping up with, if not being slightly faster than, Barry Allen, even moving too fast for Barry to track on occasion.
 * Accelerated Healing: Like other speedsters, Thawne's body heals at a much faster rate than a normal human.
 * Enhanced Senses: Due to his increased speed, Professor Zoom's senses are greatly enhanced, letting him perceive things moving at much higher speeds than a normal human could perceive.
 * Dimensional Travel: Professor Zoom can forcefully drag himself and others into the Negative Speed Force, where his powers are greatly amplified.
 * Vortex Creation: By spinning his arms at super speeds, Thawne can create powerful gusts of wind from his arms.
 * Phasing: By vibrating his molecules at just the right frequency, Professor Zoom can phase himself through solid objects.
 * Shock Waves: A skill learned from Zoom, the third Reverse-Flash. By snapping his fingers at high speeds, Professor Zoom can create sonic booms capable of shattering glass and crushing buildings.
 * Electrokinesis: Like all conduits of the Speed Force, Thawne generates electricity from his body. However, this electricity is negative compared to the Speed Force's positive, and is cancerous to users of the Speed Force.
 * Speed Force Negation: By contaminating them with his negative electricity, Thawne can disrupt a speedster's connection to the Speed Force, removing aspects of their powers.
 * Infection: By infecting a Speed Force conduit with his electricity, Thawne can make them generate their own Negative Speed Force energy.
 * Time Travel: By going fast enough to break the time barrier, Thawne can travel either forward or backward in time. Unlike other speedsters, any alterations that Eobard causes to the timeline have no paradoxical side effects.
 * Youth Draining: Thawne can drain the youth of someone he touches and add to his own, gaining the memories and experience of the victim while aging them into dust.
 * Age Shifting: Thawne can change his physical age to disguise himself, turning himself into a young boy, an old man, or his normal age at will.

Notes & Trivia

 * Zoom first appeared in Flash #139 (September 1963)
 * During the Hall of Doom introduction, Calculator refers to Zoom as "Professor Zoom" (Eobard Thawne) despite the costume reflecting that of Hunter Zolomon. This is probably due to the fact that at the last minute The Flash was changed from Wally West to Barry Allen.
