Who's the better Reverse Flash, character wise, Professor Zoom or Zoom?

For me, I've always preferred Zolomon. His original motivation to improve superheroes in his own brutal way offered me more compelling thoughts more than Thawne's usual "Screw up Barry Allen's life and legacy before he could screw up mine." motivation. Plus, his backstory is a lot more grounded than Thawne's. He also has cooler powers.

Captain Cold

Zolomon

@bella_blackstar: Please, everyone knows that Captain Cold rocks as a fighter and as a character.

@life_without_progress: Did I say otherwise ? :O

Zoom.

Thawne for me

@bella_blackstar: Neh, you just stated the obvious. :P

Depends on your preference.

Eobards motives were in basically being a fanboy and then disappointed in his hero. There have been multiple retcons of his story but mostly just, cast aside and obsessed with being the Flash.

Zolomon on the other hand doesn’t care about trying to be the hero of his own story. His purpose is to”make heroes better” by giving them a tragedy to suffer or pushing them to their limits. He doesn’t kill indiscriminately and he doesn’t seek validation for his actions the way Eobard does.

Professor Zoom is a mid-tier speedster that’s a Flash villain, specifically Barry Allen but has tangled with Wally at least as much.

Zoom is a high tier (along with Wally) speedster that’s a team-busting villain, specifically Flash family and the justice league.

Thawne is just pure, sadistic evil, while Hunter is a whackjob who thinks he's helping the hero. I like Hunter a bit more.

Zoom!

Hunter. Thawne's a mess of a character.

Zolomon. A superior villain for the superior Flash.

Professor Zoom imo.

Zolomon for sure

Thawne, Zolomon is ridiculous

Prof Zoom

Zolomon stomps. I like Thawne, but he has nowhere near the level of depth (in motivation, powers, basically everything) of Zoom.

Hunter, especially in Rebirth since now his motivation is to screw with both flashes. Eobard was essentially syndrome from the incredibles

Reverse Flash.

Ehh, i like Thawne better.

Zoom stomps on basis of actually being a good character.

Zoloman.

Convoluted as he is, I just love how Thawne's such an asshole.

@lubub55: ... which Reverse Flash?

Lol, I don't think I read the question properly. Professor Zoom.

Probably Professor Zoom for me.

I always loved Hunter Zolomon. He's fkn amazing. ToooooosloooooooowFlassshhhhhhhh.

Having read through all of Thawne's stories, I'd definitely give it to him.

Thawne definitely

This wins.
