The Flash Season 3 Premiere: 10 Big Questions We're Asking After 'Flashpoint'

9. Where Was Harrison Wells?

The Flash Flashpoint Questions
The CW

One disappointing aspect of Flashpoint: there was no room for Tom Cavanagh.

The actor, whether it's as Harrison Wells, Reverse-Flash, or just Harry, has long since established himself as one of the strongest and most reliably entertaining parts of the show.

It begs the question of what happened to him in the Flashpoint universe? Since S.T.A.R. Labs was a thing before Ramon Industries, presumably he was around at some point? Especially as Reverse-Flash wouldn't have killed him.

It may never get answered now we're seemingly out of Flashpoint, but it'd be interesting to know all the same - and might help answer the question of just how Wells/Cavanagh will appear in Season 3 (whether it'll just be the Earth-2 version, or another new one).
