The development of opponents who travel through time and space (spoilers enter carefully)

The Flash is a superhero under the DC Comics Company and a core member of the Justice League. He has driven the entire Silver Age of North American comics. Except for the five-year interruption of the heroic comics in the 1940s, the Flash comics has never stopped publishing. It is the longest-published heroic comic in history except for the three DC giants Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.
In 2014, "The Flash" was adapted into a U.S. drama and received great acclaim once it was released. The main line of the series is the story of the Flash fighting monsters upgrading and thriving in battle. Because of the characteristics of The Flash, the screenwriter has arranged a second line of time and space, which makes the plot become a climax of twists and turns.
The Flash is a great man, how great is he? He can beat the speed of light, penetrate objects ignoring the laws of physics, and even cross the barriers between parallel worlds to reverse time and space. Such a great person, naturally, there must be a particularly attractive opponent, so the flashback came into being. The ability of the reverse flash is similar to that of the Flash. This two people, good and evil, have thus become rivals for life.
The Flash is superior in skill, but the flashback is like Xiaoqiang who can't die. He gets more frustrated and braver. Inspired by "Terminator", one day Nishihan suddenly had a brainstorming idea: to travel to the past and kill the Flash in his childhood, and the world was quiet from then on. Of course, the Flash would not wait to die. He heard the news and rushed to stop them. The two struggled for a long time, fighting hard to separate. Flashback never managed to achieve the goal. In a rage, he killed the Flash's mother.

The butterfly effect is really amazing. The Flash has since disappeared, leaving only Barry Allen as an ordinary person. Barry had an unfortunate childhood. His mother died tragically, his father was put in jail as a murderer, and the investigating police adopted him. Then, life was back on track. He was studying, playing ball, going to school, and working. After adolescence, he was worried about love. His life unfolded step by step without any surprises. He saw no possibility of becoming the Flash.
Nishihan's goal has finally been achieved. Do you think he will be satisfied and live a happy life from then on? Wrong, this incident brought him new troubles. Sooner or later, he would have to pay back when he came out, and the retribution came very quickly: in the process of fighting the Flash, his device ran out of energy and was trapped in this backward era. (Reverse Flash is a future man. Put you in the age when there is no computer, mobile phone, no internet or toilet, I guess you can understand his mood)
The only possibility for him to go home is the Flash’s ability to travel through time and space, but The Flash no longer exists, and the thought of this drives him crazy. He regrets it, but how can he regret taking medicine? After learning from the pain, he really made him think of a way: do it himself and create the enemy Flash. After ten years of planning, the big explosion of the particle accelerator gave Barry Allen superpowers, and the Flash finally reappeared.

As a newcomer in the superpower class, Barry is nervous and excited, but also full of confusion and anxiety about the future. The incarnation of Dr. Wells appeared in time and served as his life mentor. In this way, the pure-hearted Barry and the ghost-spirited doctor became partners. They had a master outside and a master, fighting with super-powerful criminals, and forged a profound revolutionary friendship in the battle.
Man is a terrible emotional animal. For Barry, the Doctor is a good mentor, helpful friend, and a strong backing. He thrives in battle, and his dependence on the Doctor is deepening day by day, almost treating the Doctor as another father. For the doctor, seeing Barry's continuous progress, from youthfulness to maturity, there is actually a feeling of joy that "my family has grown up." It is a pity that this false harmony cannot last. As the truth is revealed a little bit, their cooperation has finally come to an end.
The doctor deserves to be a villain with a high IQ. The conspiracy fails to come to the fore. He tells the plan and gives Barry an irresistible offer: as long as he runs fast enough, he can open the time channel, Barry can save his mother, and the doctor can also save him. Can hitchhiking back to his own time.
Poor Barry is really in a dilemma: Go back in time? It means changing history. For his selfishness, the destiny of thousands of people will be changed. Perhaps, the city he loves no longer exists. Give up this opportunity? Not reconciled, his father's grievances are still unsuccessful, and there is no way to ask for help. "Your Honor, the real murderer came from another time and space. By the way, he is my good friend Dr. Wells..." That said, he would definitely be regarded as a lunatic, right? This is the difference between bad guys and good guys. Bad guys can do whatever they want, but good guys always look forward and backward to consider various influences.

Barry embarked on the journey with the blessings of his friends. They were full of fear for the future, but still extended a helping hand to Barry, because they value his happiness more. Barry was deeply moved and made him see his own mind clearly: instead of redeeming the past, it is better to grasp the present, the passage of time is closed, and in the end, he stays in this imperfect but full of good memories world.
Seeing that the doctor who was desperate again was mad, he was going to kill Barry, he was going to destroy the world, you couldn't reason with a madman, but Barry couldn't beat him. At the moment when Barry's rival, Police Officer Eddie, turned the tide, he fired a shot at himself, and the evil doctor was wiped out in an instant.
The doctor who can be regarded as having no plan forgot one thing: There is a noble person in this world who is willing to sacrifice himself for others, even if this other person is his own rival in love. This noble man happened to be the ancestor of the Doctor. He died and the Doctor was obliterated (a paradox caused by traveling through time and space). History has opened a new page in this way, the future has unlimited possibilities, the story of the flashback has ended, and the legend of the Flash has just begun.
