His successor was Zoom, an enemy to Wally West who replicated super-speed by moving through time. Inertia was the evil counterpart to Bart Allen, also calling himself Kid Zoom. The New 52 reboot introduces Daniel West, Iris West's brother, as the new Reverse-Flash, while Rebirth returns Thawne to the role.
