Yeah...back in the old days when there was just him and I could understand the storyline. I liked the yellow costume.

At first I didn't get what was so great about him as a villain, just the villain with Barry's powers, but his various live action and animated appearances over the last decade (CW's Flash, that episode of Brave and the Bold, Flashpoint Paradox, LEGO The Flash), have definitely brought him up to Joker and Lex Luther level great bad guy.

Reverse Flash is the absolute last villain you would ever want for your archenemy. I mean the guy's one and only goal is to make Flash's life as miserable as possible and he absolutely has the power to do it! The thing I find really terrifying about Eobard is that won't even limit himself to screwing with Barry in the present. I mean the Joker is an evil and scary dude, but in the end of the day he's just a man and there are usually limits to what he can and cannot do. He can kill Jason Todd but he can't, for example, murder a young Alfred Pennyworth before he ever went to work for Thomas Wayne. Or he can go to the future after Barry is dead in order to taint his legacy like in the return of Barry Allen storyline. Or how he's manipulating Barry's future daughter in the tv show. Poor Flash is pretty much doomed to be tormented by his crazy yellow nemesis forever. Even killing him didn't work. He's a really unique and interesting threat when done right.

Tom Cavanaugh's portrayal of Reverse Flash on the CW single-handedly elevated this villain to one of my favorites. Read the comics using Tom's voice, it just fits perfectly. Love that guy.

Every post I make, it should be assumed by the reader that the following statement is attached: "It's all subjective. What works for me doesn't necessarily work for you, and vice versa, and that's ok. You may have a different opinion on it, but this is mine. That's the wonderful thing about being a comics fan, it's all subjective."

I actually own a (horribly fragile) copy of that - purchased at a flea market, no less.

Matt Letcher's casting of Eobard on the CW Flash show was amazing. It is crazy how much he looks like the comic version of the character.

The CW Flash show is absolutely the reason I got into quite a few of the Flash's villains, including Eobard. I enjoyed Cavanagh's performance particularly in season 1, which got me to look him up, but I think I enjoyed Letcher's appearances more overall. Still, I'm pretty excited whenever he appears.
This is the first issue with Eobard I ever stumbled upon:

In light of Thawne's current motivation this is so ironic... Originally Posted by Lirica

This was a great issue including art.
And I loved that powerful alien Green Lantern too! Not sure that he ever appeared again, did he?

It had been a while since I last read this issue that I never even thought about this... Originally Posted by Frontier
