His first act was to murder 10% of Central City's inhabitants.

As Johnny Quick, Eddie joined forces with four other hyperhumansPower Ring, Owlman, Superwoman, and Ultraman – to form the Crime Syndicate of America in order to take over the United States. While the others had vast territory under their thumbs, Eddie was content with Central City, as he secretly feared his fellow members.

Eddie took over S.T.A.R. Labs and renamed it the Speed Central, his headquarters. He also formed his own personal army, the Quickling, to help him maintain order in Central City.

At one point, Eddie captured Clyde Mardon, and utilized his powers of weather manipulation in order to control the city's weather.

In 2015, Eddie scoured the whole city to find a missing Quickling and finally located him at the Augustyn Tower, in the captivity of the Rogues. As revenge, Eddie vibrated the ground with his feet to make the building collapse, killing everyone inside, including Lisa Snart.[1]

The following took place in an alternate timeline where Flashpoint never happened.

In 2016, Eddie encountered Barry Allen, a speedster from Earth-1, during the latter's accidental journey to Earth-27. They both fought but Barry managed to escape. In their second battle, Barry defeated Eddie to free Central City. After learning his secret identity, Barry, with the help of Hartley Rathaway, was able to imprison Eddie in the pipeline of Speed Central.[1]

Invading another Earth

In 2018, Owlman built a device that could create an interdimensional breach in order to escape the annihilation of Earth-27 by the Anti-Matter Man. The breach was opened in Central City, where the Crime Syndicate broke Eddie out of Speed Central. After entering the breach, Eddie and the Crime Syndicate arrived on another Earth, where they began causing chaos for fun.

The Syndicate eventually came into battle with this Earth's vigilantes. Eddie saw Superwoman trying to enslave the Barry Allen who defeated him and protested that he wanted to personally kill Barry.

Barry then used the lasso to tie up Eddie and Superwoman. The Syndicate members were imprisoned in the pipeline.

When Barry came to interrogate the Syndicate on how the breach opened in Central City, Eddie angrily shouted at that he wouldn't tell him anything. Superwoman mocked the fact that Eddie currently didn't have his powers, to which Eddie threatened her. After Ultraman decided to confess that Owlman was the one who opened the breach, Eddie called him a traitor. Later, Iris West-Allen delivered Eddie some lunch from Big Belly Burger.[2]
