Harrison Wells has been a fixture of The Flash TV series throughout its run, but there have been many of them. Which of them stands tall as the best?

There have been many characters who made their way into viewers’ hearts throughout the nine-season run of The Flash. There have also been many versions of the same character who did the same. There is no greater example of that than Harrison Wells.

The Flash may have featured many iconic characters from the pages of DC Comics, but Harrison Wells was not one of them. No, he was an original creation for the show and that created an air of mystery around him, as fans attempted to figure out his intentions.

While that version of Wells turned out to be the Reverse-Flash in disguise, we have met many variations of the character over the years (including the real original one!). Yes, Tom Cavanagh got to show us his performance skills a great deal as he spent the majority of his seven-season run on the show playing multiple versions of Wells (including a whole council of them at one point!), and he was always a joy to watch in the role(s), giving his all to each and every one of them.

It’s hard to imagine what the show’s run would have looked like without Harrison Wells. We loved them. All of them. But some versions stood out more than others. So without further ado, let’s rank all of The Flash‘s Wells from worst to best.
