The Flash
The minatory opponent of theFlash , Eobard Thawne , is Barry Allen ’s opposite in every way of life inDC Comics , down to having his very own solidification of varlet villain !

In a reversal , so to speak , of the group ’s dynamics , The Flash#1 by Geoff Johns , Francis Manapul , Brian Buccellato , and Nick J. Napolitano featured the first appearance of the Renegades . hail from the 25th C , they are a group police officer who do on a task force dedicated to deal with anomalies in time triggered by the Reverse Flash . They are each modeledafter a particular knave , take on altered names such as Commander Cold , Weather Warlock and Trixter when pursing worldly jurisprudence breakers . While they ’ve often been mislead into attacking Barry Allen and his companion , the Renegades have been show to be just as cohesive a unit as the villains that inspire them .
The whimsey of the Renegades is n’t a bad idea and actuallycompliments Flash ’s collected enemiesvery well .

They even institute themselves manipulated byHunter Zolomon , aka Wally West ’s Reverse Flash , Zoom . They also had bouts of internal discord , being betrayed by their version of the Top , who kill fellow officer , Mirror Monarch . Unfortunately , a steady mien for the Renegades just was n’t in the card , as they would all come to an untimely end .
It ca n’t be said that giving the malicious Reverse Flash his own hardening of villain is n’t creative , but when it comes to deal the timeline , it ’s best pull up stakes to theFlash .
