Forum:Harrison speculation

I thought it would be interesting to have a thread discussing possible comic alter-egos of Harrison Wells. With The Man in the Yellow Suit everyone seems to be jumping on to the "he is reverse flash" or even "he is Professor Zoom from the future" type bandwagon but I still think the door is open to other possibilities I have heard others mention. It would be cool to list them below in their own sections, please indent any replies. talk2ty 16:51, December 10, 2014 (UTC)

Kristin Wells or a relation
This is the only theory I can say I came up with on my own, everything else I have read from others first. As seen at w:c:DC:Kristin Wells (Earth-One) (the New Earth version was reinvented as a Kryptonian, ignore that) this incarnation of "superwoman" was a 29th century history student. She later becomes a history "professor". Although not a tech specialist, her everyday knowledge of future tech would probably make her like this in present day.

Notably her timeline was wiped out by the 25 April 2024 crisis alluded to in the 2024 newspaper. This would give her or any close relations (father, brother, husband, son) a reason to come back and prevent that, to save her, or for her to save herself, if she was invented as a male character or in disguise as one.

For an idea of her abilities:
 * Decorporealization
 * Teleportation
 * Super Strength
 * Flight
 * Limited Intuition
 * Hole Poking (Time Warps)
 * Invulnerability
 * Emotion Sensing power is latent in all humans and common in the 29th century

The way Harrison got bloodied up by Reverse may seem like evidence against invulnerability, but keep in mind that these are tech-based so it would be possible for the user or an enemy to turn them off. Plus invulnerability is commonly overwhelmed in DC. talk2ty 16:51, December 10, 2014 (UTC)

Professor Eobard Thawne
This is popular enough based on him being a smart guy with future connections and people marking out over the yellow suit, no explanation needed. If a descendant of Eddie Thawne that would be justification to not kill him. Of course, that could also lead to Eobard designing a suit for Eddie to wear. Being a cop he could be interpreted as a Hunter Zolomon type. talk2ty 16:51, December 10, 2014 (UTC)

future Barry
He does have a similar angular face, a keen mind, and Flash vanishing in a crisis could explain how he ended up in the present, as some have pointed out.

Thomas Oscar Morrow
People have pointed out that this guy has a TV into the future which could explain how he is able to see newspapers from later on. One problem with this though is that the minimum viewing period was 100 years and 2024 is only a decade into the future, too short. 16:51, December 10, 2014 (UTC)

Pariah
A scientist, linked to the Crisis, can travel between alternate earths and try to save them from the crisis, good match. talk2ty 16:51, December 10, 2014 (UTC)

Vandal Savage
An intelligent manipulator, has apparently travelled backward in time on occasion, would have an interest in preventing a world-destroying crisis while being known to use brutal means to get his way. talk2ty 16:51, December 10, 2014 (UTC)

=Others= feel free to make your own sections if alternative ideas occur for the ID of either Harrison or Reverse (since they are not confirmed same). Do not limit your ideas of Harrison to people who would take on a Reverse mantle. Do not limit those who could take on the Reverse mantle to those who could fill the shoes of Harrison. talk2ty 16:51, December 10, 2014 (UTC)
