Powers, Abilities, Skills, Strengths |
Negative Speed Force - Thawne is powered by the Negative Speed Force- an energy source for his speed that is the opposite of the Speed Force utilized by the Flash and his allies. The Negative Speed Force gives Thawne access to the same abilities as the Flash including: |
Superhuman Agility - Thawne has greater reflex balance and bodily coordination than any human, allowing him to easily maneuver while moving at superhuman speeds and counter other speedsters.
Super Human Stamina - Thawne can withstand the physical stress of moving at Superspeed without growing fatigued or weakened.
Negative Speed Force Aura - A protective energy field that surrounds Thawne's body and protects him from friction and kinetic impact when using his super speed powers.
Accelerated Healing - Thawne can heal his body at super speed, or slow his physical perception of time to the point that a fatal blow could take days to kill him instead of seconds so long as he doesn't use the full extent of his speed.
Electrokinesis - As the source of the Negative Speed Force Thawne can generate red electricity and lightning based attacks.
Enhanced Senses - Thawne can perceive time at a normal or slowed rate relative to how fast he is moving at the time.
Cosmic Awareness - Because of his experience using his powers to travel through time Thawne can innately sense when someone is from a different time period or dimension.
Molecular Acceleration - Thawne can change the speed the molecules of his body vibrate allowing him to go intangible and phase through matter like the Flash.
[/ul]
Genius Level Intellect - Thawne is an expert in physics, chemistry, and engineering. He has a deep understanding of the Negative Speed Force/Speed Force and can manipulate it to his will.
Advanced Hand-to-Hand Combat - Thawne is a highly skilled fighter especially when utilizing his super speed. He is capable of fighting multiple opponents who are just as fast as he is.

Weaknesses, Fatal Flaws
[/td][/tr][tr][td style="border:1px solid #0f0f0f;padding:3px;background-color:#222222;"]Superiority Complex - Thawne believes he is superior to virtually everyone else which makes him very difficult to cooperate with and makes him very distrusting of others.
Flash Obsession - Thawne is obsessed with the Flash, he wants to be the Flash but he is incapable of being a hero because of his lack of moral and ethical values-- so he settles for destroying the Flash.
The Black Flash - Because of his meddling with time Thawne has begun having visions of a zombie-like Flash wraith in a black costume appearing around him. The more he acts to disrupt the natural progression of time the more tangible and threatening this entity becomes. Could it be the temporal remnant of the original Flash?
Enhanced Metabolism - Like the Flash Thawne has an accelerated metabolism and requires between 8 to 10 thousand calories a day.

Character History
[/td][/tr][tr][td style="border:1px solid #0f0f0f;padding:3px;background-color:#222222;"]Eobard Thawne was born in the 25th century in the year 2451. He was genetically enhanced by his parents to be highly intelligent and attractive - the perfect human as they perceived it. They had very strict expectations of Eobard and became very disappointed in his lack of social skills and tendency to day dream about being a super hero, specifically he had become fixated on the Flash.
The Flash had loveable carefree nature and his popularity as a hero was everything Eobard wanted in his life, but due to the expectations of his parents and societal pressures of the 25th century it just wasn't possible for Eobard and he was forced to repress his feelings and over time fascination turned in to obsession.
Eobard's parents thought that having another child would help Eobard adjust to life in society so they had a second son named, Robern. Eobard struggled with his sibling and was often reprimanded for periodic outbursts, triggered by his growing frustration.
Eobard spent so much time in social bonding sessions and psychological analyses with Robern that he fell far behind in his own studies into physics. As a result, his application to study the newly discovered Speed Force at the Flash Museum was rejected. Eobard illegally began doing his own research on the subject.
In time Eobard had become such an expert in the science and history of the Flash he devised a way to replicate the Flash's powers for his own. The first thing he did with his new abilities was to travel back in time and prevent his brother from ever being born. The Professor that blocked his admission to the Flash museum? Gone. Eobard used his powers to ruin the lives of everyone who had ever wronged him in his history- but it didn't stop there.
Using a replica of the Flash costume with a reversed color scheme Eobard tried to be a new Flash for the 25th century but his selfish nature made the experiment a dismal failure. Frustrated with what it meant to be Flash he traveled back further in time to the 21st century to meet his hero and learn from him.
Upon discovering the identity of the Flash Eobard was sadly disappointed. Barry Allan was not the man Eobard had expected him to be. Disappointed in meeting his hero and knowing he could never live up to his legacy in the 25th century there was only one solution in Eobard's mind. He had to become the Flash's greatest nemesis, the reverse of everything he was and if he could not replace him as the Flash he would find a way to destroy him.
So began an age old rivalry that spanned centuries. Eobard dedicated his life to erasing Barry Allen from existence. Traveling further and further back in time with each attempt Eobard corrupted the time line with every action-- until eventually he succeeded.
However the timeline managed to play a cruel joke on Eobard- he succeeded in erasing Barry Allan from history but in so doing he paved the way for Wally West to become the original Flash several years ahead of his time.
Ready to travel back in time and start all over again with erasing Wally this time Eobard discovered his ability to manipulate time was at it's end. A mysterious Black Flash had started hunting him through the time stream-- the more Eobard tampered with time the bigger the threat this avatar of Death became. Knowing full well that this was more than just a hallucination he knew it was time to lay low.
Resigning himself to being trapped in this version of history Eobard took a job at S.T.A.R. Labs under the fake identity of Dr. Harrison Welles. He would find a more conventional method of dealing with this 'new' Flash. After all no one had more experience with fighting the Flash than Eobard, and he had become exceedingly good at it over time.

Sample Post
[/td][/tr][tr][td style="border:1px solid #0f0f0f;padding:3px;background-color:#222222;"]"Horror vacui" a phrase commonly used in most studies in physics. It is a postulate attributed to Aristotle and roughly translated to the English language means 'Nature abhors a vacuum." What this means is that nature contains no vacuums because the denser surrounding material continuum would immediately fill the rarity of an incipient void. Aristotle's theory was criticized by his lesser peers and remained a subject of great debate through to the 18th century by the likes of Newton and Leibniz.
Much like himself, Eobard Thawne believed that Aristotle was simply not appreciated in his time. His theory was accurate and had multiple applications throughout multiple facets of physics--including and not limited to Eobard's particular field of expertise, Time Travel.
Thawne dedicated his life to eliminating the existence of one particular man. For most vengeful people it is enough to simply kill your enemy and move on, but that was never Thawne's goal. He wanted to erase his very existence-- as though it never happened. Complete removal from the space-time continuum. Not even so much as footprint fading on the sands of time.
The Flash proved very difficult to eliminate. Time and again his mastery of the Speed Force proved more than an equal to Thawne, even as Thawne continued to travel back further and further in time. But Eobard was persistent-- he would eliminate the Flash from existence and take his place in history as one of the greatest heroes of all time.
Then one day for all his planning, all his struggles Eobard Thawne succeed in his goals. The name Barry Allan was almost completely erased from his existence.
However, nature abhors a vacuum.
Eobard Thawne could not have predicted the curveball that time had planned for him. Wallace Rudolph West...The Speed Force's newest chosen champion materialized as the primary Flash several years before his time. He had taken Eobard's rightful place in history after all that hard work and planning... Thawne was fast, but history inevitably was much faster.
It was no matter, Thawne had decided to look at the bright side. This new Flash was nowhere near as competent as his predecessor. Thawne had ample experience at destroying the Flash and 'Wally' had no idea that he was watching from the shadows. It was inevitable after all he had already erased one Flash, Thawne could do it again.
"I hope I haven't kept you waiting too long." Thawne spoke to the woman seated across the table. A string quartet played melodious romantic music in the background and flickering candlelight danced across the stunning red head's beautiful face as Thawne took her hand in his and gently kissed the back of it. He spoke with a cruel grin forming at the corner of his lips. "Iris West... I have been looking forward to having this dinner with you for a very long time."
