Thawne is also the second of the Reverse-Flashes, as well as a maternal forefather of Bart Allen and Owen Mercer. Created by John Broome and Carmine Infantino, Thawne first appeared in The Flash (vol. 1) #139 in September 1963, and remained one of Barry Allen's most formidable adversaries in comics over the next quarter century.

In Flash #324, Thawne was apparently killed by the Flash in an effort to save his fiancée, and spare her the death that Thawne gave to Flash's first wife, Iris. Largely unseen over the next 25 years except in sporadic appearances, Thawne was resurrected by writer Geoff Johns in 2009's The Flash: Rebirth, and reimagined as a major villain in the DC Universe with his reintroduction. Johns compares this to his similar treatment of Green Lantern villain Sinestro in an early outline of the Rebirth series.[1] In 2009, Professor Zoom was ranked as IGN's 31st greatest comic book villain of all time,[2] and in 2015, he was ranked #2 on their Top 5 Flash Villains list.[3] Actor Tom Cavanagh portrays Thawne in the CW's The Flash

Eddie Thawne (Rick Cosnett) is a supporter of the Flash inside of the Central City Police Department, the partner of Joe West, and Barry's friendly romantic rival. He is later mentioned by Eobard as a distant relative, thus explaining why he was spared by the Reverse Flash: Eddie's death would cause Eobard to cease to exist. Due to Barry and Joe's suspicions of Wells and Iris' investigation of Mason's disappearance, they decide to reveal Barry's identity to Eddie so he can help them take down Wells and keep Iris safe.
