1. Reverse-Flash

You weren’t expecting to find anyone else here at the top spot, were you? Eobard Thawne is, without question, The Flash’s greatest adversary and the CW series has done an immensely strong job at portraying that over the course of its nine seasons.

His presence in the first season is obviously the best example of that. From Harrison Wells to the Man in the Yellow and every manipulation in between, the Reverse-Flash would stop at nothing to dissect his archenemy, killing his mother, helping him become a hero so that he could help him return to his time, all while trying to figure out a way to kill him.

He’s evil. He’s always been evil and he was even willing to be an ally to his enemies, playing chess with their lives, so that he could achieve his goals. Tom Cavanagh was phenomenal in portraying all of this, while Matt Letscher also did a wonderful job at portraying how obsessed the maniacal speedster could be.

Thawne is an architect, a master manipulator, and the best damn villain that both The Flash and the Arrowverse have ever seen. Some would say he’s the Reverse, but I would say he’s the best!
