Reverse-Flash is a name used by several speedsters who are enemies to the Flash. The original Reverse-Flash was The Rival, arch-nemesis to Jay Garrick in the Golden Age. Professor Zoom was the first villain to call himself Reverse-Flash, a 25th Century scientist who fought Barry Allen in the Silver Age. Professor Zoom's 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 as the new Reverse-Flash, brother to Iris West. Reverse-Flash was created by John Broome and Carmine Infantino, first appearing in Flash #139. (1963)
