lordyellowtailI'm going to put much of this entry under a cut. Suffice it to say, I've had a very specific theory about the true identity of Harrison Wells since episode 1.09, "The Man in the Yellow Suit." I've wanted to talk about it here for a bit, but I've been too busy to write up the essaylet.
So I'm thrilled to have found an image someone put together that expresses my theory with less than 100 words. I'm linking to it from another image storage website, so if it disappears please let me know and I'll re-upload it somewhere else. For reference, I found it on the Nightmare Fuel TV Tropes page for The Flash.
Put under a cut, because potentially huge spoilers.
Behold!
I noticed the size disparity when I first watched Episode 1.09, "The Man in the Yellow Suit." We've seen Wells in a t-shirt, and he's just not as bulky and muscular looking as the more violent Reverse Flash. At first I thought it was body armor, but if you look at the shots of Wells in his secret lair, the Reverse Flash suit he has is quite narrow at the shoulders, just like him.
It also makes a lot of sense: Wells actually takes the time to ask the violent Reverse Flash who he really is when they have him in captivity, because he's supposed to be the Reverse Flash, and he has no idea who this murderous other guy is. That, and no matter how fast you are, there is no way you can be in two places at once. There's no way Harrison Wells could have beaten himself up in episode 1.09--unless two versions of him are running around. ...What.
