We have also seen Wells grow a bit unhinged when he yelled at Cisco for creating and losing the weapon that got into Captain Cold's possession and could very well kill Barry. Knowing that involves a very detailed knowledge of future events. This is also seen when in his super secret, creepy lair, he watches Barry get struck by lightning on a screen, witnessing the event that makes him The Flash we know and love. We know he is either from the future or has access to it because of the way he has discussed certain events. Harrison Wells shares Professor Zoom's intelligence, manipulative techniques, and obsessive desire to protect Barry. The key aspect about Professor Zoom is that he is a villain born of obsession, not hate.

Why would Wells act as a close friend and mentor if he wants to destroy Barry? Well, Professor Zoom is an odd villain, and that's saying something considering how wonderfully bonkers comics can get. Throughout Thawne's history we have seen him protect Barry, because without The Flash, he never becomes Professor Zoom. Thawne becomes the unhinged villain Professor Zoom along the way. If that wasn't crazy enough, he gets plastic surgery to look like Barry and travels back in time to meet his idol. Born Eobard Thawne in the 25th Century, he became obsessed with Barry Allen to the point that he recreated the circumstances that gave Barry his superpowers, which aged Thawne in the process. Like all long-running comic book characters, Professor Zoom's background has shifted quite a bit. We might've already seen Professor Zoom, as the yellow blur responsible for the death of Barry's mother could have been him, so it is only a matter of time before we get a closer look at what makes this villain tic. The most popular theory? Harrison Wells is Professor Zoom. If you're a comic lover like me, you've probably come up with a host of theories. There are a variety of hints as to who Wells really is and what he wants. For starters, he is faking the inability to walk, has a holographic newspaper from 10 years in the future, and has killed in order to protect Barry Allen. Over the course of only a few episodes, we have come to learn that there is a darkness underneath his kind, mentor-like appearance. It's pretty clear that the reason Harrison Wells become one of The Flash 's most popular characters is the mystery that surrounds him.
