Harry Wells

Harrison "Harry" Wells is a fictional scientist and a supporting character featured in the DC Television Universe. He appeared on the CW Network series The Flash, where he was played by actor Tom Cavanagh. This version of the character first appeared in the premiere episode of season two, "The Man Who Saved Central City".

Overview
Harrison Wells was a scientist who hailed from a parallel world dubbed Earth-2. His counterpart from the core reality of Earth-1 was murdered by a futuristic speedster named Eobard Thawne, who assumed his form and took his place in that reality until he was removed from the timestream by the actions of his own ancestor, Eddie Thawne. The Earth-2 version of Harrison Wells was a well-respected member of the scientific community in his reality and had a daughter named Jesse. An evil speedster named Hunter Zolomon, aka "Zoom", abducted Jesse as a means of exerting control over Wells.

Harrison Wells found a breach between the two realities and came to Earth-1 where he met Barry Allen, Cisco Ramon, and Caitlin Snow. Because the fake Harrison Wells of their reality had such a negative effect on their lives, the group found it extremely difficult to trust this version of Wells, whom Cisco took to calling "Harry". Wells' abrasive and bitter temperament did little to endear him to the group, but they knew that his scientific expertise was invaluable and they needed him to help repair the breaches between the worlds and stop Zoom, who had invaded their world as well.

Notes & Trivia



 * Harrison Wells may not be evil, but he's definitely a dick (according to Cisco Ramon). He murdered the Turtle in order to use his blood to form a counter-agent to Zoom's speed.
