27 best fighters in the Arrowverse, ranked

10. Eobard Thawne – The Reverse Flash

Whether he’s in the body of Harrison Wells or wearing his own face, Eobard Thawne is one of the most dangerous villains in the Arrowverse.

His super speed makes him a match for anyone in combat and his intellect only adds to his abilities. Thawne is extremely driven to complete his goals, but he’s also extremely patient. After becoming trapped in the past (from his perspective), he waited years to build the particle accelerator that would give Barry Allen his powers and actually create the Flash.

After that, he would hone Barry’s abilities until he was fast enough to help him return to his home. All the while, he proved himself to be an extremely dangerous man. Thawne first revealed himself to Barry in the midseason finale of The Flash season 1. Here, he proved to the hero just how much stronger he was by comfortably defeating him in combat.

He later went on to terrorize the Legends in a journey across time and space to find the Spear of Destiny. He finally confronted the Legends in the trenches of World War One with an army of time replicants. The sheer volume of Reverse Flashes overwhelmed the team until Sara used the spear to change history ever so slightly.

His influence continues to this day as he is the mysterious party that Nora West-Allen is working with in the future. In other words, it seems that it’s impossible to properly defeat him.
