Biography
Eobard Thawnes life from the moment he was born… was struggle.
Growing up in an apocalyptic future of Earth-65869, Eobard learned early on that their Kree Masters had taken Earth as a strategic outpost in their war against the Skrulls centuries ago, after a costly war between the Justice Lords and Galactus ruined Earth.
One thing had led to another, and the Flash ended up making a costly mistake, which ruined their strategy. Realizing their mistake too late, the Justice Lords released their 'supervillain' prison (what was left of them) to give the team a chance against Galactus. In the end… they both lost, and the planet became a Kree outpost within the year, the Empire rebuilding the planet with their terraforming technology… but keeping the humans as slaves.
Eobard Thawne was born four hundred years after the Earth was conquered, into one of the few free colonies, and from his early teens, dedicated his life to finding a way to saving his lost planet. Finding the history of the Flash an inspiration, Eobard spent the next decade traveling on the surface and below it, finding the lost history of Earth… trying to piece together the event which created the Flash. Eventually, his search struck the holy grail; an original holographic diary of the Flash himself under the ruins of the Hall of Justice. Eobard eagerly started the process. Or rather, he tried to start it… but he couldn't hope to have access to the same chemicals the original Flash used, so he had to substitute. When he tried to run, his energy was /red/, not the yellow of the original Flash. It was a strange feeling, going at superspeed. Taking the original Flashes ring, Eobard repaired the ring, and modified the suit within. Now, Eobard had to learn how to use this new power, and who better to practice on?
For the next several years, Eobard spent his time hiding, running, and fighting a one man war against the Kree garrison. The Kree became easy practice over the years, with a resistance movement eventually forming out of the wreckage.
None of it mattered. The war was long since lost.
Taking his power, Eobard went back to the original war against Galactus… and found that no matter what he did, The Justice Lords would not accept him, and the Flash was locked into his actions. Hundreds of time jumps, failed.
Eventually, Eobard came to realize his Earth… was doomed.
So he left. He opened a dimensional rift, and hurled himself into the chaotic landscape of the multiverse, content to find a world where Galactus was galaxies away.
Character Details
Driven, capable… hateful. Eobard Thawne comes across as cold and calculating. Professor Zoom has a deep hatred for superheroes and their shortsightedness. He enjoys torturing and ruining the lives of superheroes, gaining deep satisfaction in getting substitute revenge… but he's particularly revenge obsessed with the Flash; all of them. He particularly loves to ruin their lives, torture them… and kill them, in the end.
| Genius |
| Where Eobard came from is gone, but he learned all he could before his universe collapsed, becoming a respected scientist of the Speed Force amongst the ruins of civilization of his time. He's quite capable of learning a great many subjects, if he puts his mind to it. |
| Languages |
| Having traveled all over the world preparing for his original ill-fated trip to fix what went wrong in his old universe, Eobard has studied languages both familiar and completely foreign. It usually takes about a day of intense study for Eobard to become fluent; his genius and his superspeed combining to make him a /very/ quick study. |
| Molecular Vibration |
| Eobard has the ability to phrase through most forms of matter by resonating at the exact frequency of that object. He can typically phrase through most common material without issue… but it can take him up to a minute to get through several feet of something incredibly dense. |
| Cosmic Awareness |
| Eobards connection to the Negative Speed Force makes him aware of when an entity or object is foreign to the particular universe or timeline he's currently in. He needs close proximity for this 'awareness' to work. |
| Superhuman |
The negative Speed Force allows Eobard to push his own body far beyond what a normal man is capable of.
His Reflexes are enhanced to the point that he can easily keep up with other Speedsters.
His agility is enhanced to the point that not only is one of the fastest men alive, but can easily maneuver while at any speed.
His stamina is enhanced to the point that his superspeed doesn't draw any noticable fatigue from him, even after prolonged use.
He's durable enough to withstand the harsh effects of Speed Force use on the human body.
However, despite all this… he is only as strong as his superspeed and stamina allow him to be. He's certainly a lot stronger than a normal human, but he's nowhere near a powerhouse like Superman. |
| Electrokinesis |
Like conduits of the Positive Speed Force, use of his Speed Force generates large amounts of electrical energy as he runs. Eobard, after years of practice, can manipulate this energy in a variety of ways:
While running, Eobard can throw his lightning in directed bursts and sustained attacks, effectively allowing him to use his Speed Force generation as a weapon. This energy is cancerous to positive Speed Force users, stripping them little by little cumulatively of their own abilities every time they're hit by it… though the perpetually growing nature of the Positive Speed Force means this effect is temporary. |
| Zoom! |
| With his connection to the Negative Speed Force, Eobard is one of the fastest men alive (benchmark 13). Capable of running near the speed of light given time to build momentum (plot only). |
| Chronokinesis |
| Eobard is capable of changing his own age with some effort, appearing from a young boy, to an elderly man. |
| Sonic Booms |
| A difficulty trick to learn, but years of practice in his home universe have given Eobard the ability to generate sonic booms and shock waves with a snap of his fingers. |
| Senses |
| Eobards sensory input inherently adjusts to how fast he's going at any given time, allowing him to react at normal or superhuman speed. |
| Vortex Creation |
| Using his superspeed, Eobard can take a few seconds to create atmospheric based vortexes from parts or the whole of his body. |
| Martial Artist |
Years of surviving in the hell that was his original universe have forced Eobard to learn how to fight hand to hand… both normally, and using superspeed.
Normally, Eobard is good enough to take on the uninitiated without much issue, but not beyond that. With superspeed? He's capable of taking on people on the level of Nightwing, if he's in top condition. He doesn't stand a chance against people like Lady Shiva. |
| Time And Space Travel |
Eobard is usually capable of jumping through time and the multiverse within seconds… and unlike Positive Speed Force users, the only consequences to his changes are to the timeline itself, not to himself. Since arriving on Earth 626 though, the nature of this universe has 'settled' over this aspect of his ability, turning even easy time travel into an exercise in frustration best done when essential to his plans (plot approval only). unlike other Speed Force Users, the Negative Speed Force allows his changes to come with little to no consequences to himself, protecting Eobard from self-paradox.
Eobard can travel both to other universes in the multiverse, and into the Negative Speed Force itself, as well… the same anchoring effect making this difficult. It can take up to a minute to build up the speed required for any of these abilities now, depending on destination and distance, as a result. |
| Accelerated Healing |
| Like most Speed Force users, Eobard heals all kinds of injuries to his person at at accelerated rate. Minor injuries take an hours at most usually, while broken bones might take half a day to a week, depending on severity. Eobard does /not/ regenerate beyond normal for humans… his metabolism is simply sped up. |
| Negative Speed Force |
| Originally discovered by Eobard Thawne as a means of fixing his original homes timeline… now a means of preparing this universe for what's coming. |
| S.t.a.r Labs |
| A research scientist in his secret identity, Professor Thawne has access to state of the Art facilities and enough modern factories to mask building any devices he might need. |
| Costume Ring |
| Once belonging to the Flash of his universe, centuries of disuse have been repaired. Now Professor Zoom uses it as his own, in an intentional mockery. |
| Out Of Place Out Of Time |
| This is a wholly alien world to one Eobard Thawne of Earth-65869. Originally from a hellish, post-apocalyptic world, Eobard will probably never get used to all the differences from his world. |
| Misguided |
Eobard Thawne might be insane, or might not. One thing is for sure; he believes that the 'superheroes' of the world will be to blame for a coming apocalypse, and despises them for his own reasons. How this hatred manifests depends on the superhero.
He is utterly convinced he's the only one who can prepare Earth for it. |
| Criminally Amoral |
| Eobard Thawne sees nothing wrong with killing, destroying, cheating, or backstabbing; he's done it all in the name of survival back 'home', and will do it again. |
A much more mercenary Speedster with a hatred of 'superheroes', Eobard is very interested in testing, manipulating, hurting, and otherwise destroying most other heroes in this universe. Both for personal satisfaction, and for culling the weak.
