"Flash's" Grant Gustin: There's a Surprise Reverse-Flash Twist Ahead No One's Seen Coming

The real Harrison Wells is dead. The current Harrison Welles is from the future trying to restore his power. And the name "Harrison Wells" is a clue,is Dr. Wells full name Harrison George Wells (H.G. Wells)?

Yes. As it turns out, in the divergent reality of the television series (because any setting created by time travel, I think of as a divergent reality), the real Dr. Harrison Wells was murdered 15 years ago.

I also liked Thawne's rationalization, sort of a classic time traveler's rationalization, that the pain and death he caused doesn't count because you folks died centuries ago from his point of view.

When was his middle name given as George? I missed that.

The full name of H.G. Wells--the prolific writer (really how did people do so much back then? oh right, no movies, TV shows or internet)--was Herbert George Wells, not Harrison.
