A meta-human with powers rivalling his arch-nemesis, The Flash, The Reverse-Flash, aka Eobard Thawne was destined to be a villain, long before his birth. Using his knowledge of Barry Allen's past and abilities, he went on to cause despair in Allen's life, committing numerous heinous acts; including the murder of Barry's mother, Nora.
Thawne's violence only escalated when his ancestor became a casualty of The One-Earth Regime, trapping him permanently in the present. With no home to return to and feeling that he had nothing left to lose, he joined The Secret Society, with their leader, Gorilla Grodd promising him the opportunity to destroy those responsible for altering history and creating this paradox, starting with The Flash.
Acting as a backup for Deadshot in the Battle of Metropolis, The Reverse-Flash confront Allen. Racing across the world, he eventually overpowered The Flash in Gotham, where he viciously beat the speedster, releasing his pent-up hatred and disdain for their rivalry, the One-Earth Regime and the current timeline.
Yet, his anger was not enough to secure victory over Allen, and after a second wind from his rival, he was forced to make a hasty retreat.
Regrouping with allies, Reverse-Flash and Captain Cold ambushed Wonder Woman in The Ace o'Clubs. Despite gaining the upper hand momentarily, Diana reflected a blast from his Cold Gun with her gauntlets, freezing him solid. Injured and needing time to heal, he once again made a retreat, fearing that the Amazon would capitalise on his moment of weakness and kill him.
Growing bored with Grodd's plan, and no longer wishing to act as a lackey for Brainiac, Thawne and his fellow lieutenants abandoned The Society, going into hiding until the end of the conflict.
