After a destructive battle, the villain was finally defeated when he boasted how he used a chemical coating to protect himself from air friction. The Flash, assuming his counterpart might know where the clock was, pursued Professor Zoom. He used his speed powers to commit crimes, but was stopped by the Flash, who had travelled forwards in time to witness the time capsule being opened because it also contained an atomic clock which threatened to explode like an atomic bomb. In the process, the colors of the costume reversed, the suit becoming yellow, the boots and lightning bolt highlights red, and the chest symbol's white circle becoming black. He was able to use a machine to amplify the suit's speed energy, giving himself the abilities of the Flash as long as he wore it. Originally, Eobard Thawne was a criminal from the 25th century, who found a time capsule containing the Silver Age Flash's costume. Professor Zoom returned in The Flash: Rebirth #3 (June 2009). In 2009, Professor Zoom was ranked as IGN's 31st greatest comic book villain of all time. He is also a maternal forefather of Bart Allen (the superhero Impulse, the second Kid Flash, and the fourth Flash), and a descendant of the villain Cobalt Blue, Barry Allen's long-lost twin brother. He is primarily associated with the superhero Barry Allen, the second Flash, and is the second of the Reverse-Flash.
