What do other villains think of the Reverse Flash?
He's a fast guy
Probably something like "that sounds very stupid"
>Reverse Flash, huh? Does he go very slow or something?
UUUU
I think the rogues probably hate his guts and look down on him. They’re professionals, he’s just some yellow psycho.
The rest of the dc universe, I don’t think he has the same rep as Luthor or Joker. But he’s up there
In Suicide Squad hell to pay he pretty much ran havoc, and there was very little anyone could do to stop it. A cruel person with the fucking insanely OP powers of the Flash is damn near unstoppable
i was upset that boomerang didn't have any speedster related snark in that movie.
Now that you mention it he really should have been better suited to going up against a speedster. Never even thought of that
Would Thawne Black Manta the Tornado Twins?
I imagine it's a case of like, the more of a threat they feel the flash is, the more respect or fear they feel towards Thawne. Like the ones who get slapped by the flash probably aren't comfortable around his less pleasant twin. Conversely, those who can go toe to toe with the flash and other high tier supers either respect him as an equal or think of him as beneath them, bearing in mind the superiority complex they often have
I think the rogues have even ragged on him for being The Flash's psychopathic fanboy, which is very apt.
which one?
Honestly I think info on him should be pretty scarce, wouldn’t you think?
He doesn't stick around and socialize enough for anyone to have an opinion. The ones who do know him, The Rogues, hate his guts.
I'd imagine so. He pops in and out of the timeline whenever he feels like it, so he wouldn't be in too many databases, although the heroes probably tried to gather intel on him whenever they had him imprisoned.
You think that the Time Cops in the future censored his identity from public records, so that nobody would try to kill Eobard before he was born?
None of the villains with legit superpowers should care about Joker.
We surprisingly don't have much thoughts about him from other villains. Headcanon wise though?
>Black Adam
Likely doesn't care much about him and would see him as being more of a possible thorn in his side if he ever got out of control since he couldn't catch Thawne, but Thawne wouldn't really be able to hurt Black Adam.
>Joker
Probably thinks the guy should lighten up a bit, and probably emphasizes with him a bit.
>Sinestro
Somewhat similar to how Black Adam feels, except that I think that he has an actual real fear of the fucker getting a yellow lantern ring. He's just happy that he's contained to only fucking with The Flash, because if he actually wanted to go on a real rampage, he would be highly liable to get a yellow lantern ring. I'm actually surprised that Sinestro doesn't show much thoughts about him, because a speedster, especially a crazed one like Thawne getting any kind of ring would be the worst case scenario for him.
>Lex Luthor
Probably has wanted to work with the guy at some point, but maybe he saw just how crazy his obsession with The Flash is and just decided to nope out of a potential partnership. He may have deduced that The Flash is the one thing keeping him from going around and causing essentially an omnicide across the entire timeline.
When Zolomon was around all the villains were afraid of him. It was a combination of having more OP 'speed' than the Flash and being known for hating villains and the only thing keeping Zolomon from snapping their necks was that he's rather convince Flash to do it.
>probably aren't comfortable around his less pleasant twin.
>the rogues have even ragged on him for being The Flash's psychopathic fanboy
>He doesn't stick around and socialize enough for anyone to have an opinion. The ones who do know him, The Rogues, hate his guts.
All of this. Eobard's a deranged stalker who only ever pops up to bother Barry. He probably doesn't pay any mind to other heroes/villains, so they wouldn't have much of an opinion on him, either.
>He's just happy that he's contained to only fucking with The Flash, because if he actually wanted to go on a real rampage,
That has to apply to more than just Sinestro. Eobard could kill thousands in the blink of an eye if he weren't so focused on Barry.
See I kind of like that, he's essentially a force of nature with one of the most base emotions a person has: Envy
Eobard deciding to be back on his bullshit on the weekend you're arguing with The Flash over how many tenths of the law possession really is must be a bit like planning a heist, running into the cops on the way out and mid face off having a biblical meteor shower start up. It's great in a way because the good guys are very, very much distracted by a bigger problem, but that bigger problem is just as likely to take you out
That's like saying none of the villains with legit superpowers should care about Batman.
We all know that out of universe popularity is the only reason why Batman or his villains get any respect from any of the heavy hitters in other rogues galleries.
the rogues generally dislike the dude (if im not mistaken)
>"Wait, I thought you had to run backwards."
Would using a lantern ring put a limiter on him since he couldn't go faster than light when using it?
Didn't he already make Barry believe they'd go evil because he'd be a shitty father in all timelines?
In the Suicide Squad cartoon everyone is terrified if him
Lex may see more of himself in Eobard than he wants to admit. Both geniuses consumed by jealousy and obsession with a specific superhero. Only unlike Thawne, Lex has ambition outside destroying his nemesis.
Way I see it: Prof. Zoom, LL, Ras & The Joker have all soloed the Justice League on their own before. And only one of them needed superpowers to do so
Zoom HAD a yellow lantern ring during Geoff’s run.
He was fucking playing around and he was still a huge threat.
This is the guy other people avoid because he’s a creepy stalker you can’t reason with that can travel through time at will.
Both Joker and Ra's needed supertech to pull it off though.
Yeah, they hate him, and gave him an insulting funeral.
There is only one Reverse Flash, so it’s obviously Eobard Thawne.
= joker
>This whole obsession with the Flash thing... It's been decades bro, it's time to move on with your life. This shit is just derivative and sad. Get your own fucking gimmick and stop living in The Flash's shadow. Be your own man, you owe yourself that much.
I feel like out of all the villains Manta would get him the most, but I don't think they'd like each other at all.
Probably hate him because he wants to kill Flash in such a vindictive way. The others have a more professional working enemies thing going on.
I feel like they could learn a lot from each other.
They’d both call each other out for being so obsessed with their hero without seeing the irony.
Honestly, would anyone even know anything about him other than "He's the fast guy who hates the Flash for some reason"? It's not like he actually works with other villains that much.
I'll add that he doesn't rob banks or whatever. He's just a fucking psycho it's better to steer clear of.
They should. Joker doesn't have powers or a gimmicky freeze ray. And yet he's the scariest and most effective supervillain on Earth. The LOD are probably jealous as fuck.
That "proffessional supervillain" thing sounds really dumb to me. Eobard has fucked Barry up the ass more times than either of them can count but because he isn't "respectful" they hate him? What a bunch of fags.
I think most villains look at each other and think
>That guy looks fucking stupid
or
>Wow, what a fucking psycho, glad I'm not crazy like that guy
Honestly, I don't think it's because he isn't respectful. They have a bias against speedsters in general (probably because they don't trust them, knowing how badly a speedster can fuck them over), and they just seem to find Eobard a prick. Which he is, and he hates them too.
What if Joker had a rock?
Doesn't Lex normally shy away from working with people he cannot control too well? He is not a huge fan of teaming up with guys like Black Adam
>Clayface is there and is somehow scared shitless of the Joker
>Literally all he has is a rock to use
He could've just went and stomped a literal mudhole into him. What the fuck? This is an old one too wasn't it? Damn, Joker wank's been going on forever.
Zolomon and Cheetah had pretty good chemistry that time they teamed up IIRC.
Nah he’s right, it’s canon that Snart avoids killing Barry the way he killed Johnny Quick in Forever Evil because they have mutual respect.
They are on opposite sides of the law but if there is an invasion from Gorrilla City, they will all team up to defend their town.
