So saying someone's "heroic nature" is what stops them from being used as a villain later on is silly, since that is exactly what the show did.

Y'know what Savi-Barry could've done when Team Flash dismissed him as a disposable hero? Run to literally any universe he wanted.

But nope, gotta turn all Anakin Skywalker and turn evil for very shaky reasons. Well that is what he was thinking of when he went to Team Flash. However i think by the time the team made him consider that option, he was already stuck on wanting to be a god.
