Fan Casting Eobard Thawne in Greg Berlanti's The Flash

Eobard Thawne is the visionary founder of STAR Labs, a brilliant physicist in a wheelchair who becomes Barry's mentor and father figure. But Thawne is also the Reverse-Flash—a time-traveling speedster from the future who murdered Barry's mother and has been orchestrating events for years to steal Barry's speed. A tragic, ancient figure trapped in a primitive timeline, Thawne is defined by his desperate, consuming need to return home, even if it means tearing apart the universe.
