** Thawne will get what he wants irrespective of who he has to hurt in the process.

** Thawne will get what he wants irrespective of who he has to hurt He cares for nothing but himself and irrationally blames Barry Allen for everything wrong in his life (although it is suggested that this may be the process.result of a repressed memory, as his 'first' trip to the past saw him learn about his future death at Barry's hands only for him to lose all conscious memory of it after taking a beating from Barry's successor Wally).
Added DiffLines:
* SelfFulfillingProphecy: Eobard Thawne was obsessed with superheroes in the 26th century when everyone has forgotten about them. Mainly the Flash (Barry Allen). Studying him to the point of knowing every recorded detail on his life, successfully replicated the experiment that gave Flash his powers, and traveled back in time to become The Flash's sidekick and best friend. Except in the Flash museum he saw an entry on Professor Zoom, a psychopath who was bent on destroying Barry and everything he loved. His identity? ''Eobard Thawne!'' Angry, he did what we all would've done: Ran ''further'' into the past to kill Barry's mother and frame his father. Constantly bullying the young Flash through the time barrier in the most petty ways imaginable [[note]]Tripping him down stairs, letting his dog out on the street so it can run away, blowing out his birthday candles before he could, making kids think he was weird in school[[/note]] before becoming a full blown supervillain.

* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Oh, and ''how''. After his resurrection in ''The Flash: Rebirth'', Thawne learned to effortlessly time travel (previously he'd always needed the Cosmic Treadmill), create a Negative Speed Force, strip away Speed Force powers, and de-age and re-age himself at will. The New 52 version had a device created by Henry Allen he could use to steal other superpowers, giving this trope an in-story explanation, at least for that version of him.

Added example(s)
Added DiffLines:
* CrazyJealousGuy: A platonic example. In his post-''Rebirth'' origin, Thawne's entire revenge campaign against Barry is motivated by the fact he wasn't the only person Barry mentored. That's it. His VillainousBreakdown in #762 also reveals the true motivation behind all his cruel actions; Thawne just wants Barry's entire life to revolve around him, the way Thawne's has entirely revolved around Barry's.
