20 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About The Flash

6. Reverse-Flash Has Ruined His Entire Life

Every comic book character has that one really iconic foe. For Spider-Man it's the Green Goblin, and for Batman it's The Joker. For The Flash, it's the Reverse-Flash, a time travelling menace who wants nothing more than to ruin Barry Allen's life. Hailing from the 25th Century, Eobard Thawne secretly tormented Barry as a child, murdering his mother and framing his father for the crime. He even killed Iris West at one point, and manipulated The Flash into breaking time just so he could mock and kill him. Thawne is totally insane, and his motivations often stem from a desire to replace The Flash as Central City's beloved hero.
