      was gonna say in injustice 2 he goes by reverse flash also didnt he died in the button or did that get reversed also is there a diffrence between post 52 zoom and the one that survived with barry from the flash point. Still so many questions

      Jaws all on the floor like Barry and Bart Allen just burst in the door and started whooping their asses worse than before, inside the speed-force; throwing them over furniture AH!
      It's the return of the "Oh wait, no way, you're kidding. He didn't just call himself what I think he did... did he?"

  • @bryanb9432
    @bryanb9432 7 років тому +122

    To me
    Eobard thawne is reverse flash
    Hunter solomon is zoom
    Edward clariss is the rival
    Thats it

  • @LMVStudios
    @LMVStudios 7 років тому +50

    I like both Eobard and Hunter, but there's just something about how well Barry and Eobard are mirrors of each other and their intertwining histories and relationships that makes Eobard my favourite. It's kind of like how Batman and Joker are two sides of the same coin. That's how I see Barry and Eobard.

    • @jamiemsm4883

      Then he would always be slower than the flash because you can use your full potential in running speed going backwards

    • @cake6851
      @cake6851 7 років тому +3

      How does zoom have a better origin? some dude who got curb stomped by grodd and got pissy when wally wouldn't go back in time for him. Compared to the man from the 25th century who was able to recreate the accident to make himself like the flash and ultimately realizing he was gonna be his greatest enemy.

    @squidtron-ck9rq 7 років тому +13

    For those of you asking: Kid Zoom is the clone and eventual killer of Bart Allen, Barry Allen's grandson from the 31st century. He was initially known as Inertia, and had (in my opinion) a way cooler green costume.

  • @ska2oos
    @ska2oos 7 років тому +80

    How boring must it be for hunter zolomon and new 52 eobard thawne. they're not fast, just slowing down time. for them everything around them is in a standstill. if they can control when to slow time down and resume it to normal speed then it's cool. but if it's a constant slowed down time then that is just a nightmare

    • @AAAA-nh3ou
      @AAAA-nh3ou 7 років тому +6

      Sen Malla Actually New 52 Eobard has better control over his powers than zoom and can communicate and interract with other individuals really easily

    • @Sanjipika
      @Sanjipika 7 років тому +2

      Sen Malla so you're telling me eobarde runs at a normal pace? Then how is that fast enough to travel through time? >_

    • @ska2oos
      @ska2oos 7 років тому +8

      xJOHNAXLx Good question. I forgot how he went around time gathering those followers. I remember barry beat him cuz he let loose saying he has the power "to move time forward" and all that. if he has super speed as well as time slowing powers, then that is too op even for other speedsters

    • @Dualme
      @Dualme 7 років тому +7

      xJOHNAXLx Eobard is connected to the negative speed force

    • @cake6851
      @cake6851 7 років тому +1

      Not anymore really. In the flash rebirth eobard is back to the negative speedforce. But time stop was so cool for a while.

    • @LouisianaBurns
      @LouisianaBurns 7 років тому

      cobalt from the comics is a twin of barry and ancestor of eboard...so as he is a speedster when they see him they might think savitar so its not a good idea.

      Slownix I want to see Daniel as an evil version of Wally, from another earth or alternate timeline and managed to survive. The Joe os Daniel's life treated him and Iris like shit. He is obsessed with killing our nice Joe because of his madness but at the same time trying to show Iris he cares about her but she only sees him as a villain that needs help. And it's up to Barry or Wally to stop him

I know u did the types of kryptonite but what about the different colored sun's like effects of the red sun and so on. 2- Eclipso and the known parts to the purple gem that's trapped him or something like that. 3- banes venom and other small items like Nth Metal or other major companies from Wayne Enterprise and Lex Corp to S.T.A.R labs and so on

    I've always went w/ the tv show's explanation--Thawne is Reverse Flash & Hunter/Jay is Zoom/Professor Zoom.
    I think Thawne should officially be Flash's arch-nemesis, given their intimate connection.

    Nice vid as usual Comicstorian! Question guys, what gave the reverse flash (Eobarde Thawne) motivation to turn evil?

    What happened to the Original Eobard Thawn that came back, but then got killed by Dr. Manhattan. Are there 2 the different versions or are they the same?(before Flashpoint, New 52)

    Well, this is answered by the man himself in the latest Flash issue ;)

    Personally I like to think the reverse flash we saw in the batman flash crossover was the reverse flash from the Pre-New 52, his design is just to different from the reverse flash in the new 52. And the way he talks to batman, it just seems too likely. Maybe he's in a similar situation to Wally? Maybe some connection with the negative speed force? I don't know

    Is the New 52 Zoom the same as the Reverse Flash in the Button storyline? Thought they were different versions of Thawne?
