Yet DeVoe copied Thawne's plans. What? Other than stealing another person's identity, DeVoe and Thawne's plans are literally nothing alike. Thawne wanted to return home and in the process, torment Barry. DeVoe's body was dying, and he stole Dominic Lanse's body to avoid dying. His current plans are unknown. Plus, Thawne and DeVoe stole another person's identity for different reasons. Thawne stole Earth-1 Wells's body to re-create what basically happened in the original timeline, albeit much earlier. DeVoe stole Dominic Lanse's body to avoid dying, as well as gain his power of telepathy.
