>>92786944
That or somehow by the end of Rebirth given that Thawne has already been to the domain of Doc Manhattan and survived long enough to come back he could make a heroic turn for a minute and save the DCU?

What is this new meme

>>92787053
First two obviously changed the timeline with the Speed Force. It won't stay as a status quo.

>>92786568
>>92786944
IIRC, Prime Earth's Eobard conquered the world, but people kept rebelling in the name of the Flash.

Perhaps he figured out that instead of trying to make the Flash look bad, he'd make himself look good by commemorating their time-traveling "friendship"?

I kinda like his n52 costume with wellsobard influences more.

>>92787475
That costume was shit.
Fabok's more classic rendering was perfect.

What if it's Barry trying to fix Thawne? He went crazy cus he realised he was destined to be Flash's greatest villain, so maybe Barry pseudo-flashpoint's history to make thawne seem like a good guy, so he never goes crazy?

>>92786568
This is all he ever wanted in life.

You can stop samefagging, /co/'s been saying the the Flash has been garbage for well over a year now.


At this point you're just spamming.

>>92787475
I agree with you, anon, but /co/ hates that costume.

Personally, I'd have this suit, but with the classic emblem. It fits both his "Negative Speed Force" theme and his Zoom persona, but is not that much of a reverse of the Flash's suit.

>>92788417
They did, though.

Actually, in the 60s he wasn't a real professor at all. "The Professor" was his nickname among the thieves in his first appearance, for his scientific methods in thievery. He then combined it with his preferred "Zoom" nickname.

Most of the time in the comics he's just called Zoom, with "Professor" or "Reverse-Flash" added in the introductory moments, or when it's needed to make him distinct from the second Zoom.

To clarify, Eobard personally retconned his backstory after the Blackest Night, ensuring that he'd become an actual professor in the Flash Museum, where he got named "Professor Zoom" even prior to getting powers for his extensive research on Speed Force.

Then again, in Silver and Bronze Ages the editors would often forget their own facts, stuff like what's Zoom's power source (can he use them without his suit or not), his name (Eobard Thawne, Edward Thawnye or Adrian Zoom) and his academics (Zoom has a part in the Secret Society run, the one led by Wizard, where he boasts of his academic background as a professor, contrary to his origin comic).

CW did perfectly, twice.

>>92787668

>>92797998
Yeah. Still doesn't imply the old costume existed in older adventures. But later.

>>92788622
>doesn't have Cisco's face

>>92798097
Would actually be the perfect end cap for the Flash. He kicked everything off by creating Flashpoint would be fitting if fixing it or reversing the fuck up would be done by Zoom.

>>92798097

>>92786944
Barry tried to make Thawne a good guy by making history remember him as one.

>>92798550
Retconned. Flash saving his mom didn't create Flashpoint, Zoom did that all on his own and just let Barry think he caused it.

>>92786568
Remember that time you fucked the whore with HIV, but the condom broke? It was me, Barry, I was the broken condom!

>>92798712
