Characters

Edward Clariss

Edward Clariss (also known as the Rival[1] and the Rival Flash) first appeared in Flash Comics #104 (February 1949), and was created by John Broome and Joe Kubert.[2]

Publication history

Edward Clariss first appeared in Jay Garrick's final appearance in Flash Comics #104 (February 1949), and was created by John Broome and Joe Kubert as an evil counterpart of Garrick during the Golden Age of Comic Books. He would be revived by Geoff Johns and David Goyer in a story called "Injustice Be Done" from the Justice Society of America comic books through the Modern Age of Comic Books.[3]

Fictional character biography

A precursor of the Reverse-Flash, Dr. Edward Clariss was a professor at the university attended by the Golden Age Flash, and had recreated the formula which was behind Jay Garrick's speed. He hears Joan Williams talking about how the Flash's own speed was given to another student, which helped him develop the formula. Bitter at the scientific community's rejection of his claims, Clariss becomes a criminal. He uses a similar darker version of the Flash with a mask over his head, and gives the formula to other criminals. The Rival's version of the formula is temporary, and he is captured and jailed. Later stories have indicated a possible link between his formula and the Velocity 9 created by Vandal Savage, but no such link has been conclusively proven.[3]

JSA #16 (November 2000) contains a flashback to a battle between the Rival and the Flash several months after the former's first appearance. Now that he has inexplicably regained super-speed, Clariss reaches light speed during the fight and vanishes into the Speed Force. After the Justice Society of America's reformation 50 years later, Johnny Sorrow retrieves Clariss from the Speed Force and invites him to join the Injustice Society. Driven insane in the Speed Force, the Rival races across the country on a killing spree. The Flash realizes that the Rival's path across the country spells out Clariss's name and the final murder victim will be Joan; Jay absorbs the Rival's speed before he can kill Joan.[3]

A robot of the Golden Age Reverse-Flash was seen in one panel of The Flash (vol. 2) #134 (February 1998), where he is defeated by Garrick.[4]

The Rival returns in Impulse #88 (September 2002), posing as Joan's doctor. Now pure speed energy, he possesses fellow Golden Age speedster Max Mercury. After battling Jay and Impulse, Max time-travels to an unknown destination. In The Flash: Rebirth #4, Max escapes from the Speed Force and is rejuvenated by Wally West's energy, which allows Max to return to Earth in a new body.

Return

After the events of Doomsday Clock, Clariss returns to continuity, having faced Garrick in the 1940s.[5] Later, in a flashback to Jay's origin, it is revealed that Clariss was a fellow student and peer of Jay's at Midwestern University who was almost picked by Professor Hughes to help him in his experiments with hard water vapors until Hughes decided to go with Garrick because he thought Clariss would question him too much about the true purpose of the experiment.[6]

Eobard Thawne

Professor Eobard Thawne (commonly known as Professor Zoom) is the archenemy of Barry Allen, as he is the first supervillain to be called the Reverse-Flash. While other speedsters cannot change the past without dramatic consequences, his ability to travel and manipulate time is able to drastically alter history and completely erase people from existence is due to having corrupted the Speed Force which created a negative version.[7][8][9]

Wally West

Wally West briefly impersonated Professor Zoom aka the Reverse-Flash.[10]

Hunter Zolomon

Hunter Zolomon (también conocido como Zoom) es el archienemigo de Wally West y el segundo Flash Reverso. A diferencia de los demás velocistas, obtuvo sus poderes de un accidente con la Cinta Cósmica, no de la Fuerza de la Velocidad. Zolomon puede controlar la velocidad a la que se mueve en el tiempo mediante la Fuerza Eterna. [ 11 ] [ 12 ]

Thaddeus Thawne

Thaddeus Thawne (también conocido como Inertia y posteriormente Kid Zoom ) apareció por primera vez en Impulse #51 (agosto de 1999) y fue creado por Todd Dezago y Mike Wieringo . Otro personaje llamado Flash Reverso, es un clon de Bart Allen . Cuando se le preguntó quién creó a Inertia, Ethan Van Sciver escribió que solo podía aceptar el cinco por ciento del crédito; el crédito restante pertenecía a Mike Wieringo (20 por ciento), Grant Morrison (25 por ciento) y Todd Dezago (50 por ciento). Según Van Sciver, la apariencia de Inertia es una representación invertida de Impulse. [ 13 ]

Inertia aparece en Teen Titans (vol. 3) como parte de Titans East . La historia concluyó con el número 46 (abril de 2007). Cuando Bart envejeció cinco años después de Crisis Infinita y se convirtió en Flash, Inertia lucha contra Bart de nuevo, matándolo finalmente junto con los Rogues . [ 14 ] Wally West se venga drenando los poderes de Inertia, paralizándolo.

Inertia permanece desconectado de la Fuerza de la Velocidad después de Crisis Infinita y usa la droga Velocity 9 para recuperar sus poderes. En Crisis Final: La Venganza de los Villanos , Libra y Zoom usan a Inertia en un intento de que los Villanos se unan a la Sociedad Secreta . Inertia roba los poderes de Zoom y se hace llamar Kid Zoom, solo para ser asesinado por los Villanos, quienes lo culpan de haberlos obligado a matar a Bart. [ 15 ]

Inercia resucita más tarde, pero queda atrapado en la Fuerza de la Velocidad. Inercia intenta impedir que Barry Allen, Max Mercury y Jesse Quick escapen de la Fuerza de la Velocidad, revelando que Eobard Thawne le prometió liberarlo y permitirle tomar el cuerpo de Bart una vez que lograra su objetivo. Después de que Barry intenta convencerlo y hacerlo entrar en razón, Inercia detiene sus ataques y huye. [ 16 ]
