I havent gotten to watch the Flash yet, because I was making this to get it out for you guys tonight!

[@Beardy9102021]

series-cravings.tv/stream/flash-season-1-episode-9-man-yellow-suit hey, this site puts the shows up minutes after the release on air. you're welcome :)

[@morpheusbxthegod3096]

It was a Phenomenal episode. ..btw...love this video Comicstorian....two thumbs up!!!

[@grimthane]

Good timing. They're done implying.

[@JimMcCray]

You're a nice boy.

[@SteveJonesGamingGWO]

Right in the nick of time

[@TheOriginalJrod]

Flash is possibly the most important character of the DC universe. Flash Point made that pretty clear.... and introduced "Bat Dad" who is probably the best Bat Man of them all.

[@fromtheday9461]

he also started the silver age (which saved DC comics from going bankrupt) he introduced the idea of the multiverse. Without Barry Marvel comics would not be the same today either as they had to step up their game due to the success of the flash.

[@wanderingdude777]

Flash is pretty cool, and important. Why are his villains sooo, idk, lame? I mean, a talking gorilla, a really cold guy, and a handful of evil twins. Does a villain NEED to be Flash-related to have super speed?

[@TheOriginalJrod]

wanderingdude777 If they want the ULTIMATE super speed, in the DC Universe, then yes it would NEED to be Flash related as the Speed Force holds that power.

[@wanderingdude777]

Loki Belial well, yeah, THAT I understand, but..... REVERSE Flash? Zoom and Inertia are ok names but... REVERSE FLASH. Come on.

[@TheOriginalJrod]

wanderingdude777 I absolutely agree it's a lazy name, and that was rampant in the early days. Hence Capt Cold. and Capt Boomerang... However it wasn't just Flash, in fact Superman has fought some of the dumbest named, non-sense villains ever.

[@MysteriousTomJenkins]

So basically Eobard hates the Flash for no real reason and he becomes a villain because he saw that he was destined to become a villain. Time travel can cause some crazy shit to happen.

[@Pksoze]

Ukitaros A psycho fanboy....the worst type of villain.

[@MysteriousTomJenkins]

Ukitaros Isn't that Superboy prime as well? And Batmite? Fuck, fanboys are dangerous in DC.

[@oooweeeoooo]

MysteriousTomJenkins Superboy Prime isn't a Flash fanboy. He's terrified of the Flash and anything remotely related to him

[@MysteriousTomJenkins]

eyestorm11 I wasn't saying he was a Flash fanboy, I was saying he was a fanboy.

[@oooweeeoooo]

MysteriousTomJenkins Fanboy of what? I guess I didn't understand your comment.

[@ziberteck]

"Only made her have a miscarriage" Like that's not tragic and terrible...

[@veggy4216]

Zoom was savage like Eobard xd except he didn't really last that long at all.

[@ignaciogrant2226]

You all prolly dont care at all but does any of you know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the login password. I love any assistance you can give me

[@edenjordy8619]

@Ignacio Grant instablaster =)

[@ignaciogrant2226]

@Eden Jordy thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@thoughtsontheboardwalk4294]

Hey Ben just wanted to let you know great job on the videos I recently got into comics and your videos help me get my knowledge up i love your enthusiasm and passion when talking about the characters and events again keep up the great work :)

[@lewiswhyte2235]

Pollocks wasn't evil, he was just a kid who didn't understand what was going on.

[@deckthelols4813]

To those of you who saw yesterdays episode: "Merry Christmas"

[@Observeman24]

Ddud dudd dudndudndudndud dudnuddududududndudnddununu u

[@MistahSushi73]

wow just finished watching the new episode and was wondering about the reverse flash and then you guys post this. you guys are awesome thank you!

[@TheBohobemeister]

As always, wonderful video!

[@DX115FALCON]

My brain hurts...

[@PillarofWind]

Same

[@dcsuperguy8838]

This is actually the easiest thing I've ever heard.

[@XTrash.KittyX]

+DC SuperGuy Because you're called DC SuperGuy... XD

[@davidndiulor8428]

+DC SuperGuy are you an alien?

[@dcsuperguy8838]

✖ArcticKitty19✖ Yes lolz :D

[@matheusdk8142]

Great video, I waited to see it only after this weeksFlash episode!

[@IamTheBuckethead]

Thanks for all the awesome info. :)

[@TOSStarTrek]

Love you show! Keep up the good work!!

[@imJianz]

Love your channel!

[@HotdogJuice]

My mind just exploded bro....

[@dcsuperguy8838]

Lol! :D

[@wanderingdude777]

Holy crap Flash storylines are confusing. I barely understood the new one and I watched the Comicstorian vid on him.

[@dcsuperguy8838]

I easily understood this first time

[@c0wboys4life]

I've been waiting for this...and the midseason finale was good too

[@DylanEctor256]

My mind melts into a puddle when time travel is talked about

[@miloanderson2903]

I'm new to the channel. LOVE IT! I dig the history of vids. I love the green lantern stuff. The infinity gauntlet history was great. More history of doctor who episodes I'm looking forward to. I'm a big fan of he-man. Probably not a lot of history of stuff on that. But I enjoy this channel tyvm.

[@ThePrentisturks]

Hope reverse flash is in the flash movie...the show really busted the characters popularity

[@-JMo-]

Can you do a vid completely on Eobard Thawne? I'm currently watching the CW Flash show and only a couple of things makes sense. Thanks!

[@super_robot_punch]

Very cool video, I had no idea there were so many reverse flash type characters. I was only tracking Hunter Zolomon and Eobard Thawn.

[@fatenabu1]

Though Zoom is my favorite, I really liked the idea of how Hunter really doesn't have super speed but moving through time just a little at a time

[@adamgoodine2448]

I like all your videos

[@davidndiulor8428]

Zoom: uses the cosmic treadmill when paralysed from the waist down Logic.

[@kashsmith6181]

My head hurts after watching this.

[@kharicousin5734]

I can feel my cells vibrate when I run to fast

[@MrVariant]

Very informative and nice music

[@danielshottopics8187]

You know the interesting Thing about Time Travel is Reverse Flash and all the Flashes when they Go back in time and Change something they are not really changing anything just creating Alternate Timeline or universes Well technically when you go back in time it already is an Alternate Timeline and when you Enter an Alternate Timeline it will be a little Different but you being there will Alter it even further Remember that Episode of TNG where Worf Goes to Alternate realities Data a Android on one of the Enterprises says the universe is fracturing off into other universes every second at all points in time the Past present and Future so when you go back in time it is an alternate timeline even before you got there cause it Fractured off even before you got there it's called Quantum mechanics.

[@itsreythegiant]

Daniel Bertazzon wat

[@BanjoMomma]

Some Random Dude lol yeah it sounds confusing but it's not really as complicated as it looks

[@zzasserzz]

Thank You!!!

[@bobbysuger]

wow, this made my head spin. Why not stick to one story instead of creating 1 million reverse flashes? madness

[@shakezulas]

thanks for clearing up the origin of RF

[@fleetwoodmerda]

Wait. If the Reverse Flash created the negative speed force, shouldn't he be a black woman that walks backwards really slowly and is called Hsalf?

[@donmega6892]

That was lame.

[@sidsy7173]

then esreveR Hsalf, would be the flash... wait a second...

[@fleetwoodmerda]

Robert Orlando / Pitch Chill mate, it was just a little joke, there's nothing to be angry at. Besides, the way you are so pissed about something so simple just shows how much of a next-gen kid with a fucked mind you are.

[@bananaminionz]

The Obnoxious Yes Guy no, he would be a naked black child which is a girl that runs backwards extremely slowly on her hands, calls herself Hsalf and is a kind loving person.

[@jimmyneutron9430]

Black PREGNANT woman

[@ACoolestNinja]

Hunter was always my favorite, he just seemed more interesting character wise.

[@STATICSOUND809]

I like inertia his design looks so evil he just might be my favorite reverse flash

[@jakebryant3445]

New 52 reverse flash looks awesome!

[@kasperikalervo91]

agree

[@sarkastikleader4708]

Just like how Wally West is my favorite Flash, Hunter Zolomon is my favorite Reverse Flash. Nothing against Berry or Prof. Zoom but this was the era I started reading Flash comics.

[@danpena4127]

Reverse Flash is a Character called Dr.Harrison Wells who was later in the tv series he is Eobard Thawne and yes Thawne as in Eddie Thawne who is a detective and is Cobolt Blue I think that's the name

[@jonnymackie1358]

Very good dude, one of my fave villains, although one mistake if you dont mind me saying so ? Thomas Wayne shot him Eobard in the head im sure, not stabbed in the chest ? Otherwise pretty good, love your stuff :)

[@patrickmcnatt6752]

the first bizzaro flash had inverted colors, giving him the appearance of the revere flash

[@lukevankleef4245]

The Rouges are Flash's most famous enemy's? I have never even heard of them before. Zoom/Profesor Zoom/Reverse Flash is the one that I heard about the most.

[@AlexanderMartinez-yg6go]

You're right

[@account6555]

my head hurts

[@viktorybomb]

In the new 52 it's actually revealed that flash and berry Allen traveled to an alternate universe where his dad become zoom.

[@SpiderKingBloxxer]

When I think of Reverse Flash I think of a turtle fast flash.

[@KavinCatastrophe]

I hated professor zoom imagine a man going back in different times in your life just to mess you up and you never knew why all these bad things are happening to you.

[@prideguy3233]

That would pose me off

[@berserkchip]

Reverse Flash technically didn't really appear in Justice League Unlimited. A cyborg controlled by Lex Luthor wore the Reverse Flash costume.

[@arjunratnadev]

this history is a mindfuck, time paradoxes can go any way D:

[@oscarnjboy]

what issue did you get zooms origin where he found the time capsule around the 1:37 mark i wanna find it

[@bryanb9432]

Eobard thorn, Edward clarelis lol

[@BK-sh2pn]

ikr!

[@kunai8548]

First spolier if you did not watch the final of the flash but dr wells is reverse flash and he is crippled so it is like the zoom guy and In the tv show their is two light ar barry moms death and it is barry and dr wells

[@reytraje3420]

woah! there so many flashes !

[@djamadi100]

Awesome

[@davidndiulor8428]

Summary: DON'T FUCK WITH TIME!!!

[@fredlee1234]

And could u do a black panther know your universe and inhumans

[@fredlee1234]

What about that green arrow outsiders war story line?

[@kylewarren5268]

Did u really just say "eobard THORN"? Hahahahaha!

[@Zeromegas]

Inercia/Kid Zoom and Zoom (Solomon) are my favorites

[@eelnoside]

Hunter Zolomon is my favorite Reverse Flash!

[@themanwhoplayswithdolls5418]

You have your facts wrong. Infinite Crisis did not give Reverse Flash the rebooted origin you mentioned. It was Mark Waid after the first Crisis.

[@franciscomijaelmendez8068]

Do the first crisis please!!!

[@kaesarkyle2100]

"Eobard Thorn"

[@KavinCatastrophe]

The reverse flash eobar thawne has finally appear in the new 52.

[@brandonjaimes2600]

You should do one of vibe

[@overlordofpizza]

Around 1:29-1:30 You said his name was Eobard "Thorn". Isn't it "Thawne"?

[@TheCookieGamer523]

It's pronounced very similarly, we know what he meant anyway

[@annieliu3488]

as a non comic nerd it reallllyyy hurts my head trying to keep up with all the timelines. i mean i like professor zoom, but his story especially is soo confusing.

[@shpreslindmyrtaj8686]

I saw that this video is published long time ago but I just saw It and I really like your videos but I wanted to ask a question if the reverse flash is from 25th centry and barry allen is from 21th centry then how did they met with eachother? ,Do you have a video abaut their history? Anyway keep up with the great videos ( sorry abaut my english if i have written somethig wrong)

[@fraquan8711]

Time travel

[@donmega6892]

ET thinks of the Flash as his idol. He went back in time to meet him, only to find of that he was the evil flash and he was killed by Flash himself. ET went mad and he tried to kill Barry in the past and that's when flash stopped him from killing himself.

[@donmega6892]

That's spoiler free as I can get.

[@bwahahahahahahahahahahahah8374]

Hunter Zolomon is probably the most overpowered character in the DC multiverse you could possibly think of. He can manipulate time to his liking and even make the Flash (going at his fastest, mind you) look like a statue. When he punches, there's so much force that if he existed in real life, he would be sucked into a black hole, which he would outrun ( by running through time so that he's somewhere else).

[@crazynice32]

YEA!

[@yoda4833]

While professor zoom is my favorite reverse flash, but after the flash season 2, im really interested in his stories. What issues of the flash does zoom and professor zoom team up against Wally west?

[@sephlock4767]

That wasn't the Justice League Unlimited show! *Cue Nerd Rage*

[@AConvenientMess]

Love the video, can I ask you a question? In The Flash TV show (2014), who is the the reverse flash? I mean they did show that Dr. Wills is actually him but, that doesn't fit why would he hit HIMSELF so hard that he could die? Secondly, Barry said that he saw a red and yellow streaks, but at the end we saw that Dr wills stole the device in order to make red and yellow, so how did he kill Barry mother while he didn't have the device?

[@daubrinmoncada]

There's a theory that Dr. Wells is from the feature...

[@karakilljoy]

it's obviously time travel, because we see him in some of the end scenes looking at newspapers from the future, as to why he hit himself, i assume it's so no one suspects him. But that's just a theory.

[@AConvenientMess]

I thought of this theory before but the reason of why I didn't believe it is because: "Wills can time travel and he is reverse flash, and he is doing his best to keep the future as he wants" here is the tricky part, if you can time travel why don't just go there while you have the chance

[@dcsuperguy8838]

Umm remember that weird episode where Thawne like to the appearance of Wells by doing something with his... face(that was weird)? Well that explains why Wells is RF because he's actually Eobard Thawne! As for beating himself up, it was a cover sort of I think so no one would suspect that he's the RF

[@jamiemsm4883]

question. why show hunter zolomon when talking about Eobard :P?

[@steveanderson5963]

There was a bizarro Flash used in an issue of Lois Lane.

[@jasonabele8053]

when you first were talking about Eobard Thawne, you showed a panel of Hunter Zolomon

[@dcsuperguy8838]

Eh no one will pay attention to that. Right?

[@patoren3gou653]

too bad R-F is the villain because that yellow suit is AWESOME

[@SteveRudzinski]

When I think of Zoom, I think of Hunter. His black/red eyes and style of speak is way more iconic than Eobard.

[@I-Roy]

Sounds to me like Eddy is going to be the 3rd Reverse Flash when Grodd finally attacks...Theories are fun :)

[@TheFiremanIsComing]

it's the other way around. he's the ancestor of the seconde zoom. Dr. wells is the 3 or 1 zoom we don't know yet, but it seems there are 2 zooms on the show now...

[@I-Roy]

Talking about the back-story. With the time-travelling shenanigans, anything could happen though and i'm pretty sure they're misleading people to think Wells is one of the Zoom. Something like that anyways.

[@dcsuperguy8838]

Sorry but not all theory's are right.

[@felixching3422]

Hi. I have no friends who reads comic books so I'm just gonna ask this here. I recently got back to comic books after 10+ years, my favorite way back was Spawn and Sin City. Now I just finished Suicide Squad and want more comic books to read, so what would you guys recommend? I really like the dark, gritty, adult stuff so yeah. Thanks in advance.

[@CaptianAwesome36]

Hellblazer constantine is pretty dark

[@jamiecooper1513]

i'd recommend batman vol 1 and so on, trust me its really good, dark story's, you'll love it if you're into that

[@TheHorreK2]

its really hard to ceep up to all of this if you havnt grown up with all the comics. I can barley remember half of the names in every of your videos D:

[@jamiehurricane]

Hey Comicstorian can you help? I have tried a few times to get into DC, I bought the WHOLE new 52 and not one of the stories i could follow, because they just followed their old stories. Every one of them had a last page reveal of some villain I had no idea who or what they were. Infinite Crisis was perhaps the worst comic I ever read, could you maybe recommend 10-20 graphic novels to get into DC?

[@andrebetita]

I'm not sure, but it kinda sounds like you're confusing what the New 52 is. Infinite Crisis isn't part of it, and there's no conceivable way to buy the WHOLE New 52, since it's still ongoing. In any case, for starting the New 52, here are my recommendations. They are all trade paper backs collecting the first few issues of each title: - Batman vol.1: The Court of Owls - Superman Action Comics vol.1 : Superman and the Men of Steel - Wonder Woman vol. 1: Blood - Batman/Superman vol.1: Cross World - Justice League vol.1: Origin (Personally, I didn't enjoy volume 1 of Justice League so much, but it's an important exposition of the new status quo for the New 52. And also, the stories got much better after volume 1, so if you end up liking this title, then you'll need to have read the first few issues.) I also recommend the following for the quality of writing in them, but they are not as integral to the New 52 as the titles I mentioned above: - Aquaman vol.1: The Trench - The Flash vol.1: Move Forward - Suicide Squad vol.1: Kicked in the Teeth - Earth 2 vol.1: The Gathering And if you find that you like any of these titles, then you can go ahead and get volume 2 of the same series and go on from there. Good luck!

[@jamiehurricane]

Andre Betita thanks

[@Wolf9019Gaming]

Professor zoom

[@KrzysztofKotarba]

what I really don't like is how villains are made... "that dude doesn't like. :< I must get my REVENGE and kill them all!!" great character there... sigh...

[@Cosmickev444]

who is the kingdom come flash and how fast is wallace west?

[@Miyo509]

Yes!!!

[@mgoddard4557]

Do the flashpoint batman series

[@infamousdragon6205]

STOP saying thorn its THAWNE

[@Soulreaperflores]

INFAMOUS DRAGON right

[@bx_oof4474]

Ikr

[@TheShadow1347]

I'm a fan of the Reverse Flash from the CW show called "The Flash".

[@Observeman24]

Eobard Thawne

[@Razorblade0482]

I want to see the rival again but in ribirth

[@khizdidit7944]

He didnt stab him, he shot him ._.

[@iiDoggiesii]

in the comics he stabbed him

[@thomasmoura-cook1856]

Eobard THAWNE (not thorn) P.S. you know way more than me, and keep up the awesome videos!

[@dcsuperguy8838]

I found it SO annoying when he said "thorn" instead of Thawne! No offense. Also, I already knew all of these stories but it is fun to hear you tell them! :)

[@jamiemsm4883]

DC SuperGuy tbh i can't hear the difference when saying thorn and thawne. you know the w is silent right :P?

[@raise1752]

The W isnt silent actually, In the TV show they always say it THAWNE not THANE, And i assume they would know how to say it

[@jamiemsm4883]

Inferno _FaDeZ yeah but now say thawne and thorn instead

[@JIronbeard]

Ok I have a question. Jay Garrick has The Rival, Barry Allen has Professor Zoom, Wally West has Zoom, and Kid Flash has inertia. What flash is Daniel West's enemy?

[@aloppai4581]

He's new 52 barry Allen's

[@yusifer5719]

...I know this is 2 years late but that picture at 1:24 ain't Thawne, it's zolomon

[@boredsensei7162]

prof zooms name is eobard thawne not "eobard thorne" lol

[@HeyImSupercoo]

is it me or does the reverse flash have a better costume idk why

[@adampanarselam2977]

why does reverse flash and kid flash costume kinda the same?

[@djrender619]

Why is the reverse flash in the CW always vibrating while barry does not? so far havent been able to find an answer

[@Ali-li8we]

Well the reason is that as you can when Barry is not vibrating you can see him clearly. So Eobard Thawne/Harrison Wells/Reverse Flash (confusing right 😂) just to hide his identity from Barry he vibrates so no one could see him clearly. He is FLASH's ENEMY, what do you think he will do ?? He will do every possible thing to kill Barry.

[@justicar347]

I think "Reverse Flash" is the laziest name for a supervillian. They at least called Superman's dopleganger Bizaro.

[@minartson]

+Seth Corbett There are several Flash villains like Zoom, Professor Zoom, Inertia and Rival. That is why sometimes characters use Reverse Flash.

[@knightfallreptiles7160]

+Seth Corbett I love reverse flashes name and u realize theres a bizaro for every one right not just superman bizaro flash is super fat

[@3rdGenGuy]

The whole Flash Time travel thing is ridiculous. Deus ex Machina DC heroes piss me off.

[@goncaloferreira6713]

do some green arrow villans coud be like one episode for allot of then like:merlyn cupid vertigo onomatopeia...
