Reverse Flash has an unexpected end caused by another villain; See!

A potentially dark future for the DC Universe is upon us. Reverse Flash finally be defeated, but not by anyone or in any way that any fan was expecting. “The Flash Annual #3” shows that Eobard Thawne may be destined for a somewhat horrible end.

Everyone knows that the Scarlet Speedster, Barry Allen, has many rivals, but few of them can be considered as much of a threat dedicated to ending him as the Reverse-Flash of the 25th century. After nearly his entire life of hero worship, Thawne swore that he would destroy as much of Flash’s life as he could without it affecting his own personal timeline.

Ever since he gained super speed, the Reverse-Flash has been a major tormentor in Barry Allen’s life and has been one of the few villains he has been unable to stop. Thawne’s mastery over time and speed, combined with his immense hatred for the Flash, has given him everything he needs to try to ensure that his most hated enemy suffers while he is still alive.

However, this may not take as long as expected and very soon the DCU will show Thawne unexpectedly meeting his creator. In “The Flash Annual #3”, by Robert Venditti, Van Jensen, Brett Booth and Ron Frenz, some visions of Central City from 20 years in the future are shown.

Wallace West, the Flash’s sidekick, turns up dead and Barry blames himself for not being able to save him. Knowing that there is only one thing he can do to try to make things better, he travels to Gorilla City and ends up meeting his old enemy, Gorilla Grodd.

Barry then tells Grodd that the Speed ​​Force is broken and part of it is due to the villain’s time travel. Grodd smugly reveals that it was the consumption of a portion of Reverse-Flash Daniel West’s brain that gave him the ability to travel through time. Not content with just one, Grodd also appears to eat the brain of Reverse-Flash Eobard Thawne.

Even though Reverse-Flash is considered Barry Allen’s greatest enemy, all the power and tricks he had up his sleeve weren’t enough to stop him from becoming Grodd’s dinner. While Thawne was indeed one of the most knowledgeable people on the subject of the Speed ​​Force, Grodd’s brief connection to the mysterious phenomenon ended up proving him to be even more lethal than before.

By all accounts, Barry’s speed and Grodd’s strength combined are more than enough to defeat the evil speedster. If there’s one thing that has defined Eobard’s tenure as Reverse-Flash, it’s his sheer ruthlessness toward his enemies.

He has been unable to kill his most hated rival, Barry Allen, and has ended up making the decision to make Barry’s life a nightmare by doing things like killing his mother. Thawne did this because he believed that the only person who could stop him would never do it.

So, he never considered that someone who hated all speedsters might come knocking on his door and try the impossible, which would be to kill him. He also never used his powers to try to help anyone other than himself. So, when a DC villain came to eat his brain, Reverse-Flash had no one to help him at that time to avoid that fate.
