Harrison Wells

Dr. Harrison Wells is one of the two overarching protagonists (alongside the Speed Force) of The Flash.

He’s an idealistic scientist that founded S.T.A.R Labs and launched the Particle Accelerator that turned Barry Allen into the Flash in the year 2020.

Trivia[]

Though the multiverse was actually reborn and not destroyed following Crisis, it appears that the original Harrison is the last Wells in the multiverse so far.
A reason why Wells would be in given access to Gideon could be that Barry trusted him in the original timeline.
Harrison wore translucent-framed glasses, while Harry Wells and Eobard Thawne wore dark-framed glasses.
Harrison is the third character in the Arrowverse to have an episode ("Who is Harrison Wells?") named after him in a civilian sense, after Sara Lance ("Sara") and Felicity Smoak ("The Secret Origin of Felicity Smoak").
In "The Flash is Born", Joe stated that Harrison and Tess were research partners in Maryland. However, this was seemingly retconned in "Tricksters", which placed them in Starling City shortly before their deaths.
In "The Man in the Yellow Suit", Cisco Ramon stated that the:
- Holiday season was Harrison's favorite time of year before Tess's death, though seeing as Cisco had never actually known the real Harrison at that point, it's unclear whether this was true or simply a lie he had been told by Eobard posing as Harrison.
- The "accident" that killed Tess (and, though it was not known at that point, the night the real Harrison was murdered as well) occurred before Christmas. However, this was seemingly retconned in "Who is Harrison Wells?", in which a photograph from the night of the car wreck was seen dated April 16, 2000.
