Harrison Wells is the name of several fictional characters portrayed by Tom Cavanagh in the CW's television series The Flash. Created by Geoff Johns, Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg, the character is an original creation for the series, and not based on any existing character appearing in comics published by DC Comics. Most versions are scientists from parallel universes, each being the founder and director of S.T.A.R. Labs on their respective Earths. This differs from the comics, where Garrison Slate was the founder of S.T.A.R. Labs.

Cavanagh has been praised by critics and fans for his performances as various versions of the character, particularly for Eobard Thawne (disguised as the Earth-1 equivalent) during season one and Harry Wells of Earth-2 since season two, although some criticized H.R. Wells of Earth-19 during season three. Cavanagh will portray a version named Sherloque Wells during season five.

Fictional character biographies

Harrison Wells / Eobard Thawne

In season one, Harrison Wells is introduced as the director of S.T.A.R. Labs, Central City. He activates a particle accelerator which explodes; the dark matter energy from the accident has transformed various individuals into metahumans, including Barry Allen. Months later, he is a wheelchair-using recluse and a pariah among the scientific and business communities. Along with Cisco Ramon and Caitlin Snow, he helps develop Barry's powers as the Flash. He mentors Barry to push his limits as a speedster by helping take down metahuman criminals. Unknown to the others, Wells is faking paralysis and has a hidden room inside S.T.A.R. Labs that contains futuristic equipment, from where he conducts surveillance on Barry.[1][2] He even murders corrupt CEO Simon Stagg, who wanted to exploit the Flash's powers.[3] Wells raises suspicions in both Joe West and Barry with his inconsistent statements[4][5] and dubious actions.[6][7] He ultimately appears as a mysterious speedster who is later named the Reverse-Flash, harassing and taunting Barry.[8][9] "Wells" is actually Eobard Thawne, Barry's 25th century nemesis and a descendant of Central City police officer Eddie Thawne.[8][10] Traveling to the 21st century to erase the Flash from history, he harassed the Allen family by murdering Nora and framing Henry. His Speed Force connection was severed after achieving this goal, leaving him stranded. Planning to return to his own time, he killed the real Wells and stole his identity.[7] He then founded S.T.A.R. Labs and created the particle accelerator to turn Barry into the Flash. With Wells's likeness, he pushed Barry to run faster, hoping to use Barry's Speed Force connection to restore his own speed.[11] Once exposed, Thawne is eventually subdued and incarcerated by Barry with help from Firestorm and Oliver Queen.[12] Thawne later offers Barry a chance to travel back in time to save the Allen family from Thawne's actions in exchange for a time sphere so he can return to his own time. Barry makes the trip, but ultimately chooses not to save Nora and returns to destroy the sphere. The two speedsters then fight, with Thawne prevailing until Eddie shoots himself, seemingly causing Thawne to be erased from existence.[11]

In season two, Barry receives a flash memory containing Thawne's will (albeit under Wells's identity) bequeathing S.T.A.R. Labs to Barry and a video-recorded confession to Nora's murder, allowing Henry's exoneration.[13][14] Barry later tries to resolve his feelings about what Thawne did to the Allen family; Barry privately declares of no longer wanting to hold on to this hatred, forgiving Thawne.[15]

In season four, Thawne somehow returns as one of the main antagonists in the "Crisis on Earth-X" crossover with the Nazi-dominated Earth-X leaders: the Dark Arrow and Overgirl. When confronting Barry, Thawne implies he resumed Wells's appearance "for old times' sake" and that he might not have actually died due to time travel vagaries.[16] Now in league with Earth-X's rulers, he assists Dark Arrow in saving Overgirl's life, along with their intent to invade Earth-1. During their final super-speed confrontation, Barry defeats Thawne but chooses to spare his life and lets him leave. With his allies dead, Thawne departs but implies that he may return in yet another identity.[17][18][19][20]

Harrison Wells (Earth-1)

The true Harrison Wells of Earth-1 appeared in flashbacks in season one. He was an intelligent and ambitious man who was devoted to his wife Tess Morgan, whom he met when they worked as research partners in Maryland.[4] The couple relocated to Starling City at some point after they married. Wells is first seen at a beach with Tess, while being spied on by Eobard Thawne. The couple discussed Wells's plan for a chain of independent research laboratories unconnected to government or big business. After drawing an initial design sketch on a paper napkin, Wells wanted to name his concept T.E.S.S. ("Technological Engineering Scientific Studies") but Tess opted for "Scientific and Technological Advanced Research Laboratories" (S.T.A.R. Labs). After Tess was killed when Thawne caused their car to crash, the injured Wells was told by Thawne that his particle accelerator would have been hugely successful in the year 2020 of Thawne's timeline, and changed the course of history. Thawne then killed him with a futuristic transmuting device that allowed Thawne to assume Wells's form.[21][7] Wells's colleague Tina McGee suspected something was off with the person Tina believed to be her former friend after Tess's death.[22] Team Flash's investigation into his wife's death eventually leads to the discovery of Wells's corpse and Thawne's masquerade.[5]

Harry Wells

Harrison "Harry" Wells is introduced in season two as the founder and director of S.T.A.R. Labs on Earth-2.[23] He is a widower, and the father of Jesse Wells.[24] Like Eobard Thawne, he was responsible for using a particle accelerator that exploded and created the metahumans on Earth-2,[25] including the serial killer Hunter Zolomon as the speedster Zoom.[26] When Zoom kidnaps Jesse, Wells travels to Earth-1 to assist with Barry's fight against Zoom's extorted metahumans and to locate Jesse.[25][27] Wells, who is nicknamed "Harry" by Cisco, is initially distrusted by Team Flash due to Thawne's prior betrayal.[25] Because Thawne's actions tainted his Earth-1 doppelgänger's name and legacy, Harry's safety is often threatened because others mistake him for the Earth-1 Wells. Both Joe West and Patty Spivot shoot at and nearly kill him because of this.[25][28] Tina McGee also mistakes Harry for Thawne until they are properly introduced.[29][30] Harry is also acquainted with Cisco, a relationship that improves over time,[25] and even helps in Cisco's transition as the superhero Vibe.[31] Ultimately Zoom extorts Harry into developing a device to steal Barry's speed for him in exchange for his daughter's life. But when Harry cannot go through with the plan, he confesses his collaboration with Zoom and the reason for it. Barry, Cisco and Harry then travel to Earth-2 to rescue Jesse.[32] This mission successful, Harry and Jesse seek refuge on Earth-1 from Zoom's pursuit.[33] After Barry sacrifices his speed to Zoom to save Wally West,[26] Harry tries to recreate the particle accelerator accident to help restore Barry's powers; in the process, Barry is seemingly disintegrated, and dark matter energy bathes both Wally and Jesse, rendering Jesse comatose.[34] Harry eventually locates Barry inside the Speed Force and is able to bring him back with Cisco and Iris West's help, and Barry revives Jesse.[35] Harry and Cisco then collaborate on a device to incapacitate Zoom's invading metahuman army.[30] After Zoom's defeat, Harry and Jesse return to Earth-2.[36]

Harry makes occasional appearances in season three. He approaches Team Flash to dissuade Jesse (now a speedster) from becoming a superhero, but eventually comes to accept his daughter's intentions.[37] Returning to Earth-2 some time later,[38] Harry is later captured and imprisoned by Gorilla City's denizens, but Team Flash rescues him.[39] Following Team Flash's defeat of a corrupted future version of Barry, Harry remains on Earth-1 as a favor when Barry goes into the Speed Force to stabilize it.[40]

Harry has a supporting role once again in season four. He returned to Earth-2 for undisclosed reasons, but is mentioned as one of the scientists who aided Cisco in developing a means to retrieve Barry from the Speed Force.[41] He returns to live on Earth-1 after a falling out with Jesse,[42] but later reconciles with her.[43] Harry also assists with Team Flash's fight against the Thinker (Clifford DeVoe).[44][45][46] Harry struggles with his frustration at being unable to anticipate DeVoe and his belief that he is just not smart enough. He decides to emulate DeVoe's methods by creating his own intelligence-enhancing "Thinking Cap"[47][48] and nearly becomes addicted to its effects until Joe West persuades him to forgo overusing it. But when Harry pushes the device past its safety limits during a battle with DeVoe, his brain gets damaged to the point where the more he uses his intellect, the faster he loses it.[49][50] He soon begins forgetting even rudimentary elements of everyday life and is eventually reduced to babbling.[51][52] Following DeVoe's demise, Team Flash uses a device provided by Marlize DeVoe to repair Harry's brain and restore his mind. They succeed to an extent: Harry recovers his normal mental functions, but not his genius or his higher education and knowledge. Undeterred, he is grateful for the insight into other aspects of his personality, and leaves for Earth-2 to be with Jesse after bidding Team Flash a heartfelt farewell.[53][54]

H.R. Wells

Team Flash selects Harrison "H.R." Wells of Earth-19 as a replacement for Harry in season three—over Harry's objections—after he seemingly solved a complicated mathematical equation.[55][38] The team later discovers that the overbearingly good-natured H.R. is not really a scientist, despite his professed credentials. Although he did help found S.T.A.R. Labs on Earth-19, his partner Randolph Morgan solved the equation meant for him. H.R. professes to be the "idea guy", the one who creates the plans for others to execute. Over everyone's protests, Barry suggests letting H.R. stay for a few more weeks to see if they can still work together. If not, they will send him back to Earth-19.[56] H.R. strives to prove his worth to the team. He is generally intelligent and intuitive, which helps the team make plans and battle metahuman criminals. He recognizes the potential worth in everything he encounters, leading him to begin training newly-minted speedster Wally as Kid Flash.[57] Despite the Earth-1 Wells's tainted name, H.R. is able to venture into public using an invention of Morgan's that disguises his appearance holographically. While Team Flash members see the normal H.R., others see a projected image of a different face.[58] He also transforms S.T.A.R. Labs into a museum open to the public to generate income for the team.[59]

An aspiring novelist, H.R. begins transmitting fictionalized versions of Team Flash's exploits across the interdimensional barrier, with himself as the protagonist. This allows Earth-19 enforcer Gypsy to locate him. Gypsy arrives to return him to Earth-19 as a wanted felon, since interdimensional travel is a capital offense there. Thwarted by Vibe, Gypsy spares H.R. and decides to claim falsely to have killed him, leaving him unable to return home.[60] In an alternate future, Barry discovers that H.R. became a successful novelist on Earth-1.[61] H.R. later meets and falls in love with Tracy Brand, a scientist Team Flash enlists to help build a device to imprison Savitar, the corrupted future-Barry who is fated to murder Iris.[62] Although the West family seek refuge on Earth-2 with Harry, H.R. inadvertently gives away their location when Savitar poses as Barry. Savitar abducts Iris back to Earth-1 and forces Barry to watch her be killed.[63] However, Iris turns out to be H.R. in disguise. Guilt-stricken over endangering Iris, he had managed to find and free Iris. But when the pair were pursued by Killer Frost, H.R. used Morgan's invention to disguise himself as Iris and be killed by Savitar instead. In addition to earning Harry's respect, his death is avenged when Iris kills Savitar. At his funeral, Iris eulogizes H.R. saying that although he had his limits, "when we needed him the most, he was a hero. He was my hero."[40]

Sherloque Wells

In season five, Harrison Sherloque Wells, a French detective from an alternate Earth, arrives on Earth-1 to help Team Flash track down Cicada.[64][65]

Other variants of Wells

Early versions

In season three's "The New Rogues", Harry suggests that Team Flash replace him with another version of himself from somewhere in the multiverse before returning to Earth-2 with Jesse. To find a suitable candidate, they transmit a message asking for help across the Earths, hidden inside a complex mathematical equation. Several versions of Wells do solve the puzzle and transmit responses which Cisco, Caitlin and Harry review before recruiting H.R. over Harry's objections.[55][66] The variants of Wells considered before H.R. were Hells Wells, a cowboy from an unspecified Earth; Wells of Earth-17, a British-accented steampunk scientist; and a French-speaking mime artist from another unspecified Earth.[66][67]

Council of Wells

In season four's "When Harry Met Harry...", Harry reveals he has a circle of "friends", astonishing Team Flash's members. But when he introduces them to Cisco, they are actually other versions of Wells from other Earths.[44] The group, nicknamed the "Council of Wells" by Cisco, consists of Harry, Harrison Wolfgang Wells, a German author and scientist from Earth-12 who is known as Herr Wells; H. Lothario Wells, a wealthy playboy-scientist from Earth-47; and Wells 2.0, a cyborg from Earth-22.[44][67] During Cisco's first meeting with the Council, a wizard named Wells the Grey appears, but is quickly rejected.[lower-alpha 1] As the group brainstorms the mystery surrounding DeVoe, they start bickering because of their egos and clashing personalities. This irritates Harry to the point of abandoning the idea of the Council until Cisco notes that Harry shares many of the same traits as the others; what he hates about them is what he hates about himself. Harry then adopts a more balanced approach to the Council, which allows them eventually to discern DeVoe's identity and whereabouts.[45][46]

Council of Harrisons

After Harry is expelled from the Council of Wells by Herr Wells in season four's episode "Harry and the Harrisons" due to his deteriorating intelligence, Cisco forms a new group of Wells termed the "Council of Harrisons".[70] Along with Harry, this Council includes H. Lothario Wells (also expelled from the Council of Wells); Sonny Wells of Earth-24; and H.P. Wells, a French poet from Earth-25.[71] More sensitive and empathetic than the Council of Wells, the other Harrisons consider the problem of DeVoe using more of a group therapy approach. When they leave, they seem to have provided no real help. Harry is angered by this until he realizes, even in his befuddled state, that they have indeed helped by advising him to determine DeVoe's underlying psychology and emotions in order to defeat him.[70]

Development

Executive producers Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg, and DC Comics CCO Geoff Johns, created the character of Harrison Wells for the CW series The Flash,[72] although he is first mentioned in the Arrow season 2 episode "Three Ghosts".[73] While a character named "Dr. Wells" had appeared in "Elevator To Nowhere", a 1980 episode of the ABC animated series Super Friends,[74] and another namesake character in Flash TV Special #1, a January 1991 tie-in comic book with the CBS live-action series The Flash (1990),[75] Johns has said that Harrison Wells is an original creation for the CW series.[76] On February 10, 2014, Tom Cavanagh was cast in the role, described as "a rock star in the world of physics and the mind and money behind Central City's S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator".[77] This differed from the comics where Garrison Slate founded S.T.A.R. Labs.[78] It was eventually revealed that "Wells" was actually Eobard Thawne, who stole the real Wells's appearance after killing him.[79]

Since season 2, Cavanagh has portrayed other versions of Wells, primarily "Harry" of Earth-2.[80][81] He differentiated each version based on character mannerisms, voice, and origin story.[82] Cavanagh has described Thawne/Wells as someone who "seems good but he's bad" with Harry the opposite.[83] Grant Gustin, who portrays Barry Allen, described Harry as a "douchebag". Cavanagh said it was his own idea to portray the character as egotistical, though he was not written that way.[84] He also described Harry as "socially awkward", but ultimately "a good guy at heart".[85] While Kriesberg described Thawne/Wells as "deadly and scary", he differentiated Harry from him by calling him "a tortured man who's beset with guilt" who loves his daughter. He added, "[Harry is] a jerk, but he's doing everything he's doing because he loves his daughter more than anything in the world."[86] He also insisted that Thawne/Wells was not evil because his affection for Cisco was genuine, and "he has a reason for doing what he's doing and he has an agenda and he thinks of himself as the hero ... bad people are capable of incredible amounts of kindness and generosity".[87]

Cavanagh described H.R. as "a bit of a con man ... But I didn't want to repeat myself from last year, so what I thought I would try [to do is play him as] a guy who fills it up with comedy."[83] He said the character was created to bring more "comedic power" to the series in a way that would not undermine its serious narrative.[88] Regarding the relationship between Harry and H.R., he said, "Harry hated because he thought he was an idiot. H.R. thought Harry was the best thing ever."[89] Cavanagh described Sherloque as "a very intelligent human being who is maybe not to be trusted",[64] and as being filled with "intrigue and deceit, fun, humor, intensity, and very loud".[81] The Flash season four and five showrunner Todd Helbing described Sherloque as "a master detective".[90][65]

Regarding the creation of the Council of Wells, Cavanagh recalled:

"We had a sprinkling of it when they were on their quest for H.R. Wells last year where we had Hells Wells, Mime Wells, and Steampunk Wells, and so that was just a one-off, but that got everybody's juices flowing like, 'If we were to do that, what would that look like with there being a Council of Wells that could convene?' [...] We thought, 'Oh, this is going to be completely obnoxious and shameless when I get a hold of it,' and it is proving to be super obnoxious and ultra-shameless in hopefully the most appealing way."[91]

Helbing described the Council of Wells as being "all about intelligence and being the smartest people in the universe", and the Council of Harrisons as its "emo version".[92] Cavanagh described Herr Wells as someone who thinks "everything that is not German is not good" and Wells 2.0 as a "bad ass from the Outback, who doesn't like anybody".[85] Gandalf, a character in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth stories, was the model for Wells the Grey, while Hugh Hefner was the inspiration for H. Lothario Wells,[93][94] and the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes was the inspiration for Sherloque.[95]

Reception

Critical response

In her review of the episode "The New Rogues", which features Cavanagh portraying multiple versions of Wells, Angelica Jade Bastién of Vulture said that the different Wells "let Tom Cavanagh stretch himself even more as an actor".[55] She criticized his portrayal of H.R. in the episode "Untouchable". Bastién felt he was an "annoying character" who was "just another symbol of the show's inability to grow", with his only purpose being to "continue the Harrison Wells mythos."[96] Irina Curovic of Comic Book Resources described Cavanagh's portrayal of the versions of Wells introduced to that point as "flawless", noting that "Harry was the best fit for team Flash. Not only did he contribute to the team, but he also established meaningful relationships with the members of the team."[97] Writing for the same website, Stephanie Holland criticized H.R., describing him as a "hipster Wells, who carries around drumsticks, wears a stupid hat and skinny jeans". She felt he was included only to "keep Tom Cavanagh around in a new role". Holland added that while Cavanagh was "fantastic at making every Wells different, HR just didn't fit on the show."[98] Digital Spy's Morgan Jeffrey felt H.R. did not contribute much to Team Flash except for "plenty of enthusiasm", and was "a tad annoying", but wrote that, by sacrificing his life to save Iris, H.R. "eventually proved his worth".[99] Adam Holmes of Cinema Blend ranked Harry sixth on his list of 10 Best TV Characters DC Introduced in 2015.[100]

Allison Keene of Collider named Cavanagh TV Performer of the Week for his portrayal of Eobard Thawne impersonating Wells. She noted that, "while there are several of the show's stars who could, and should, be singled out for their performances [...] it's Tom Cavanagh as the mysterious villain Dr. Harrison Wells who really helped make The Flash become something special".[101] Forbes' Erik Kain said in a review of "The Trap" that Cavanagh was "uncanny, a perfect fit for the ominous yet likable villain".[102] Reviewing Cavanagh's performance as Harry in the episode "The Darkness and the Light", Eric Walters of Paste said, "Having Tom Cavanagh back is wonderful, and he has brought a renewed energy with him. When Harrison 2 referred to Cisco as 'Crisco,' I knew this episode was going to be hot fire."[103] In his review of "When Harry Met Harry..." IGN's Jesse Schedeen felt the Council of Wells was "basically an excuse for Cavanagh to put on funny wigs and ridiculous accents".[104] He had similar feelings for the episode "Harry and the Harrisons" where Harry joined the Council of Harrisons.[105] Scott Von Doviak of The A.V. Club said this Council did not "make a whole lot of sense, even from a comic-book multiverse perspective", and that its members felt like "community theater skit characters".[106] In his review of the season 4 penultimate episode "Think Fast", which shows Harry's declining intelligence because of the effects of the Thinking Cap, Schedeen felt that "Cavanagh is doing a fine job of depicting Harry's deteriorating mental state, playing it both for laughs and tragedy as the situation demands."[107]

Accolades

The Eobard Thawne version of Wells was ranked number 35 on Rolling Stone's list of the 40 Greatest TV Villains of All Time.[108] He also topped Entertainment Weekly's list of 20 "best" villains on superhero TV in 2015,[109] and was included on Collider's list of Best TV Villains of 2015.[110] Cavanagh received an IGN Awards nomination for Best TV Villain for his portrayal of the character in The Flash.[111] He was also nominated for Choice TV Villain at the 2015 Teen Choice Awards.[112] Screen Rant's Jason Berman ranked Cavanagh fifth on his 2016 list 20 Best Actors in the Arrowverse.[113]

Other appearances

Cavanagh reprised his roles of Harry and Thawne/Wells in Supergirl, Arrow,[114] and Legends of Tomorrow, each set in the Arrowverse with The Flash.[115] He reprised the latter role in The CW's Superhero Fight Club promotional video.[116] A version of Wells appears in the episode "Ants on a Hamburger" of the non-Arrowverse animated series Robot Chicken, voiced by Cavanagh.[117][118] The Earth-27 version of Wells appears in The Flash: Johnny Quick, a tie-in novel to The Flash.[119]
