Yeah Devoe has a lot of things that the previous three main baddies don't. One is a superpower with a crappy catch, being a speedster is a very manageable condition while thinking too much literally drains him.

Secondly, he has a...legitimately LOYAL partner in crime with his wife. Whether he'll STAY loyal to her is up for debate, but she's just as responsible for his ablities as he is if not more so. Sure Zoom had his army and Savitar had his worshippers, but both of those were brought in under the promise of either power or the threat of coersion, and all of Reverse Flash's partners...were the Flash's partners ironically, who stopped helping him after he was revealed to be who he was.

Finally, its not all a race to him, quite literally in this case. That sounds weird considering Savitar and Reverse Flash layed plans thousands of years in the past, but even then they had this air of impatience and anger surrounding them. The Thinker has been planning this out since season ONE-WHILE-dying of Meta-ALS, so whatever he's planning...is gonna be big.
