Yeah Eobard in this takes JUST a few leaps from the source material, in that he originally had the Flash's old suit from the past which was laden with his powers, LOST said power suit, and then created the negative speed force in order to combat his nemesis. Its probably since Barry doesn't know that he isn't just POWERED by the speed-force, he MADE IT, in that its an entire energy force created from his own metagene that went across all of space and hypertime.
