User blog comment:Eobard95/Is Earth-2 Dr. Wells really Eobard Thawne/@comment-26412696-20160509225531

One of my problems with this theory is that it doesn't explain why Harry couldn't just tell Barry how Eobard was able to harness tachyons in order to increase his speed. Barry jeopardized the timeline and could have been killed by a Time Wraith, and I'm not sure Eobard would have risked either. Additionally, what happened to his speed, then? Why couldn't he just stop Zoom, and what does he really need Barry for if that's the case? We already know he was faster due to harnessing tachyons, so it doesn't really make any sense.

As far as Jesse is concerned: Harry appears to be the same age as Eobard's masqueraded version of Wells; if he'd had a daughter, who is now 15, why wouldn't he look 15 years older? And why wouldn't he just attempt to rescue Jesse from Zoom on his own? Depending on Barry puts her life at risk and Eobard is largely a solo player, invested in his own goals, and doesn't mind getting his hands dirty.

It's a nice theory, but I definitely think it's a stretch, as cool as it sounds.
