Harrison Wells (Earth-1)


 * For the man who stole Harrison Wells' appearance and identity, see Eobard Thawne.

Dr. Harrison Wells was a brilliant scientist and the husband of the late Tess Morgan.

Personality
According to Tina McGee, Harrison Wells was a very kind man which he showed very obviously when he was on a date with his wife Tess, and he was very loving to her. After Eobard killed and stole Wells' appearance, and acted as him, Tina McGee noticed a drastic change in his personality, and that he became more sinister and darker in small, subtle ways.

Biography
While planning on opening a laboratory in Central City, Eobard Thawne watched over him from a distance. He was followed by Eobard, who left spike strips across the road, causing them to crash their car. His appearance was then stolen by Eobard, using a strange device that seemingly transferred Wells' DNA into Eobard while completely dissolving the original Wells into a decayed corpse in a matter of moments. In the timeline where Eobard came from, Wells and Morgan successfully built S.T.A.R. Labs and the particle accelerator which resulted in Barry Allen becoming the Flash, but it was only completed in 2020. Eobard killed them and took Wells' identity in order to make it happen sooner so he can get back to his own timeline.

Joe West, Cisco Ramon, and Quentin Lance later discover Wells' corpse near the crash site in Starling City after Barry learns from Tina McGee that Wells was a completely different person after Morgan's death. After some tests they ascertained that the decayed figure was the true Wells, meaning the current one was an impostor.

Legacy
Although Harrison and his wife Tess, never got the chance to start S.T.A.R. Labs, and see their new company in it's prime, S.T.A.R. Labs still exists in the timeline, because of the actions of Eobard Thawne, inclusive of the particle accelerator (however, in the original timeline, the particle accelerator was not created until the year 2020), Eobard founded the company under the guise of Harrison Wells, (and to the detriment of the latter's reputation), using his knowledge of the future to create and activate the particle accelerator to ensure that Barry Allen would be struck by the lightning bolt that turns him into the Flash, so that Barry could ultimately get him back to his own time.

Abilities

 * Genius-level intellect: According to Eobard, Harrison was a famous scientist like Tess Morgan, yet he was slightly less intelligent then she, as it took him a long time to finish research and development, that would take his wife less effort to finish.

Trivia

 * Even though Harrison Wells does not originate from the DC comics, as he is an original character specifically created for the show, another brief character, only known as "Dr. Wells", appeared in the tie-in DC comic book of the 1990's The Flash TV series titled, Flash TV Special #1 (January, 1991). Interestingly enough, the character was a wheelchair-bound villain who dressed in black and yellow and had the ability to be in two places at once, similarly to how Eobard Thawne, under the alias of Harrison Wells, was introduced on the show.
 * Harrison's name is similar to that of a comic book character, who was also the Director of S.T.A.R. Labs, Garrison Slate.
 * Since Eobard Thawne was erased from existence when his ancestor Eddie Thawne committed suicide, in some sort of timeline, Harrison's murder never happened. As such, history in that time would be reset and the particle accelerator would be built in 2020 as it was originally.
