20 DC villains ranked by their dateability

19. Eobard Thawne/Reverse Flash

When it comes to villains of the DC TV universe, there are plenty of options. But, there is something very interesting about Eobard Thawne, who is also known as the Reverse Flash.

Eobard is a speedster just like the Flash, which is something he did to himself thanks to an obsession with Barry Allen and his powers. At one point, he idolizes Barry, before ultimately learning that he is destined to become an enemy of the hero.

What makes Eobard so interesting as a potential boyfriend is the fact that he has a single-minded focus when it comes to people who catch his interest. We like the idea of having a lot of attention from a date.

Another things that makes Eobard dateable is the fact that as a scientist, he is very intelligent, knows how to hold a conversation, and has dreams and goals that he pursues. The fact that there are points in his narrative that show him as a leader and someone who is willing to mentor other people also works in his favor as someone who could be seen as potential boyfriend material.

While we have seen Eobard ebb and flow his way through being a villain within the DC TV universe, he has always remained an interesting character with enough personality and history to make him stand out. And we are all for men who can stand out from a crowd.
