Wanting to show Barry his rehabilitation and to be accepted again by his "best friend", Thawne traveled back in time to the 21st Century. He convinced the authorities that society would be better if he was educating others as a professor instead of being behind bars, and worked hard from being a tour guide at the Flash Museum to becoming its curator, considering the museum his own. In prison, he underwent electroshock therapy and shared his knowledge with other inmates. Desperate to prove himself to his hero, Thawne vowed to better himself. Unfortunately for Eobard, Barry became aware of the truth behind his "heroics", and would turn him in to the authorities after defeating the rogue speedster.
Thawne was awestruck when Barry arrived in his time and taught him new ways to use his powers, with the two also bonding over their shared belief that "every second is a gift". However, due to the lack of opportunities for heroics in the future, Thawne instead created his own by endangering and then "saving" people to make himself look a hero.
Dissatisfied, Thawne sought to also become a hero like the Flash. During his adulthood, Thawne miraculously received a time capsule containing the Flash's costume, from which he harnessed residual traces of the Speed Force to give himself access to its powers. Eobard would dedicate his life to studying the Flash and researching his power source, the Speed Force. In his loneliness, he became obsessed with the Flash, Barry Allen, a heroic speedster from the 21st Century. From the 25th Century, Eobard Thawne was an only child when his parents were killed in an accident.
