Reverse Flash speaks in this promo.

If you take the audio clip and make the voice a higher pitch, you can clearly tell that it's Wells.

It's pretty obvious without any alterations too - the way he pronounces "Flash" is similar to Wells too.

Well that put me firmly back in the Wells is probably RF camp. almost certainly Cavanagh that read that line.

Unless it's a misdirection and they got Cavanagh to read the lines while the identity of RF is somebody else, this pretty much confirms it.

So the interview where Gustin said he was surprised when he found out who played RF was a misdirect?

Interested to see how they do it, although I doubt RF will be unmasked in the first ep they show him properly

 

[OriginalMiles]

It's a possibility. For all we know, RF is ****ing with Barry by imitating his friend.

 

[DigificWriter]

I listened to that higher-pitched audio, and it DOES NOT sound like Wells.

 

[Mike Murdock]

I'm really thinking that Reverse Flash is trying to train Flash more than anything else.

I also think Harrison Wells wants to steal the Tachyon stuff.

 

[jrmtz543]

Looks like Wells is RF and probably a descendant of Eddie (why didn't he kill me?).

 

[Mike Murdock]

The only thing yet to be explained was Wells and RF together at the same time.

So he's Eobard?

What other comic characters fit the discrip?

 

[Derrick9592]

I actually knew this all along that he has the be the Reverse Flash. Only question about it though is how was he able to duplicate himself?

Maybe the face was simply a hologram ?

 

[Pickleweasel]

He did something with multiplex's blood remember?

 

[KillerMcQueen]

Well, this thread's title is due for a change after tonight's episode.

 

[DigificWriter]

I owe tons of people an apology. I was wrong to take Kreisberg's statement about Wells at face value and to criticize the people who chose to believe he was lying.

 

[marvelrobbins]

well thinking wells was reverse flash were right on the money.

Well, it certainly seems like Wells is indeed Eobard Thawne and he didn't kill Eddie because he's a descendant of him. It really stuck out how he emphasized "Thawne" when he spoke to him during the RF's attack.

Still, there are some questions left to answer. RF and Wells appearing together simultaneously isn't that hard to pull off, since RF is clearly a time traveler. I do think it's strange though that we didn't actually see Wells in the suit, if he is indeed RF. I mean, why not just show it instead of showing him having the suit in the ring? Might be nothing but I still wonder if there is something else we don't know yet.

Also, what was that metal brace thing he put on the suit? Anyone have any ideas there? Maybe it was something we've seen in another episode that I missed?

If they are sticking to the comics on this... if I recall correctly, Thawne gained his powers by putting on Barry's old costume, which retained his powers somehow. Perhaps then, the RF suit is Barry's old costume, which remained after Barry vanished in 2024. This is what happened in the comics; Barry Allen died in COIE, but his costume remained and Wally took up the mantle. They've been making it look like Wells is trying to keep the Flash from disappearing 10 years in the future... but perhaps he's trying to make sure the future stays intact so that he gets his hands on that suit. The scene at the end might be a clue to this, since the suit itself appears to be the source of Wells' power (hence the reason why he apparently only moves at light speed when wearing it... though that wouldn't explain how he can alter his voice like Barry can).

Interesting that there were apparently two Flashes present during Barry's mother's death. Was this a future version of Barry (perhaps one that's transformed into a being of pure energy following the "crisis") or might this be another Flash? Maybe Jay Garrick or Wally West will appear?

^ The thing Wells stuck on the yellow suit was the Mercury Labs Tacyhon device.

The two entities present during Nora's death were the RF (Wells) and somebody who showed up as a red lightning streak (likely Barry).

Ah, okay. That makes sense. Thanks.

 

[Sawyer]

Dammit. I really wanted him to turn out to be one of the good guys.


Well..... goodish at least.

Yeah Barry saved his younger self by bringing him out of the house and unto the street a few blocks away.

I think the device that Wells put on the suit energized the costume...giving the wearer superspeed....If I remember correctly one of the reverse flashes powers wasn't super speed but temporal displacement. This could be how Wells is the man in the yellow suit and beating himself up.
