How is Barry being Savitar most likely to be true? After watching the last episode it has turned from, "meh, might be possible" to "most definetly not going to happen".

Anyway, my own theory on who Savitar is was orignally just the first speedster who ever lived just like it was in the comics. However i have modified it since we got more evidence in the last episode. Caitlin's dad is Savitar. The exact same hair as Savitar is shown in the photo for Mr. Snow. So i believe that the first speedster went in the Speed Force to achieve immortality and then came out closer to present day. This is when he fell in love with Caitlin's mom, but disapeared due to the responsibility of parenthood and not wanting to tell Caitlin about his villainous ways. Faking his own death. (probably with the help of a time remnant) He then became the villainous Savitar as he felt he was a god with his powers in this new world of 2017. It makes sense that we would have a villain from the past after we have had a future and present day foe for Barry.
