One live-action worthy cosplayer has taken their Reverse-Flash cosplay to new heights, portraying Flash’s greatest villain in such a chillingly perfect manner that even the Joker might acknowledge Eobard Thawne as a contender for DC’s top unhinged villain. Now, all this cosplay needs is a Flash for Thawne to torment.
Cosplayer Mr. Win has taken to Instagram to showcase his stunning Reverse-Flash cosplay. This cosplayer’s costume boasts exceptional quality, with a framework and paint job that makes it appear as if it is Thawne’s actual suit. Mr. Win even incorporates the Reverse-Flash’s signature red eyes, ensuring a comic-accurate portrayal.
However, what truly elevates this cosplay to the next level is Mr. Win’s posing and facial expressions. In his first picture, he manages to convey a somber expression with exceptional lighting, resulting in an image that resembles a movie poster for an upcoming Reverse-Flash film.
Joker Loses His Crown as DC’s Most Unhinged Villain to Reverse-Flash Cosplayer
Mr. Win’s second picture catapults him to Joker levels of terrifying. This shot offers a better view of Win’s full suit, making it particularly striking. However, it’s Win’s facial expressions that steal the show once again. With half of his face obscured in shadows, Win’s Reverse-Flash sports a spine-chilling smile reminiscent of Joker’s manic grin. It’s a powerful reminder that cosplay is about more than just the costume; it’s about embodying the character’s mind and soul, something Win excels at.
Win further demonstrates his appreciation and knowledge of the character by including a quote from CW’s The Flash live-action TV series: “My fate was to become your greatest enemy. I was never going to be The Flash, so I became the reverse of everything that you were.” This quote is particularly fitting because it encapsulates a wealth of character history and information in just two sentences. Essentially, it serves as a concise summary of how Thawne became the Reverse-Flash: through learning he was “destined” to become Flash’s greatest enemy and thus making it his mission to torment Barry.
The Reverse-Flash and The Joker Are More Similar Than Fans Realize For 1 Reason
While the Reverse-Flash and Joker may seem different, they share a key similarity: neither attempts to kill their respective heroes, Flash and Batman. The Reverse-Flash would cease to exist if he killed the Flash, and Joker avoids killing Batman because he wants their rivalry to continue. Hence, these two villains truly go head-to-head in the villain department. Now, all we need is for Mr. Win’s Reverse-Flash to encounter a Joker cosplayer to determine once and for all who is the most terrifying villain.
