Professor Eobard "Zoom" Thawne, otherwise known as the Reverse-Flash, is a fictional supervillain appearing in comic books published by DC Comics. Created by John Broome and Carmine Infantino, he first appeared in The Flash (vol. 1) #139 in September 1963. He is the archenemy of Barry Allen (the second superhero to be called the Flash), a descendant of Malcolm Thawne, and a maternal forefather of both Bart Allen and Owen Mercer. In 2009, the character was re-imagined as a major villain in the DC Universe by writer Geoff Johns in The Flash: Rebirth.

IGN ranked Professor Zoom as the 31st greatest comic book villain of all time in 2009, and #2 on their Top 5 Flash Villains list in 2015.C. Thomas Howell voiced him in the 2013 animated feature film Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, and Matt Letscher currently portrays the character on various TV shows set within The CW's live-action Arrowverse.
