Identity Of 'Reverse-Flash' Confirmed By THE FLASH Star, But Is He The Only One?
Who is the "Man in the Yellow Suit"? That was seemingly revealed in The Flash's midseason finale, or was it? Hit the jump for comments from that actor, and what sounds like confirmation of second Reverse-Flash making his presence known in the form of [SPOILER]...
Harrison Wells is the Reverse-Flash. Or should that be a Reverse-Flash? Following the big reveal in the midseason finale of The Flash, fans now firmly believe that Wells is Hunter Zolomon, though equally as many feel like he could be someone else (a time displaced Barry Allen perhaps). Talking at the Television Critics Association's winter previews on Sunday, star Tom Cavanagh confirmed: "[Wells] is the man in the yellow suit." Is he the only one? Andrew Kreisberg teased the involvement of another Reverse-Flash in The CW series, and promised that there really is a reason that Detective Eddie Thawne has that surname. "His name is not an accident. Eddie's connection to the Reverse Flash lore is going to pay off big time in the back half of the year."
That's interesting, but Cavanagh told Entertainment Weekly, "There is just one Reverse Flash," so does that mean Wells is an older version of Eddie? It's enough to make your head hurt, but we'll learn more in episode 17 when we revisit the night that Barry Allen's mother was killed from the villain's perspective. "We’re going to see what happened that night from the Reverse Flash’s point of view," Kreisberg teased. “I didn’t say it was from Wells’ point of view, I said it was from the Reverse Flash’s point of view." What do you guys think all this will mean for The Flash?
