Harrison Wells
Arrowverse characters
Clockwise from top left: Earth-1 Wells, Harry, H. R. and Sherloque

Years2014–present

Harrison Wells is the name of several fictional characters portrayed by Tom Cavanagh in the CW's television series The Flash. The character, which was created by Geoff Johns, Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg, is an original creation for the series and is not based on any existing character appearing in comics published by DC Comics. Most versions are scientists from parallel universes, each being the founder and director of S.T.A.R. Labs on their respective Earths. In the comics, the founder of S.T.A.R. Labs is Garrison Slate.

Cavanagh has played a different version of Wells in each season; he has played Earth-1's Wells and his impersonator Eobard Thawne in season one, Harry Wells of Earth-2 since season two, writer H.R. Wells of Earth-19 in season three, the Council of Wells and the Council of Harrisons—which consist of various doppelgängers—in season four, and detective Sherloque Wells in season five.

Critics and fans have praised Cavanagh's performances as various versions of the character, particularly Harry, although some criticized his performance as H.R. The Council of Wells and Council of Harrisons received a mixed reception from critics; some praised their humor and Cavanagh's versatility in portraying them while others criticized their skit-like nature.

Fictional character biographies

Harrison Wells (Earth-1)

In season one of The Flash, Harrison Wells is introduced as the founder and director of S.T.A.R. Labs, located in Central City on Earth-1.[1] It is later revealed that Eobard Thawne killed the real Wells and assumed his identity after the former's plan to travel back in time to kill Barry Allen as a child was foiled by the Flash of his timeline, unintentionally severing his own Speed Force connection and leaving him stranded in the present day.[2][3]

Harry Wells

Harrison "Harry" Wells, the founder and director of the S.T.A.R Labs on Earth-2,[4] travels to Earth-1 in season two, when Zoom kidnaps his daughter Jesse Wells, to help Barry stop Zoom and rescue Jesse.[5][6] Zoom extorts Harry into developing a Speed Force transmitting device to steal Barry's speed in exchange for Jesse's life, but when Harry cannot continue with the plan he confesses his collaboration with Zoom to the team.[7] He gains Barry and Cisco's help rescuing Jesse from Earth-2; Harry and Jesse then seek refuge on Earth-1.[8][9] After Zoom's defeat, they return to Earth-2.[10]

In season three, Harry is captured and imprisoned by Gorilla City's denizens and Team Flash rescues him.[11] He later helps Team Flash fight Savitar.[12] Following Savitar's defeat, Harry remains on Earth-1 as a favor when Barry enters the Speed Force to stabilize it.[13] By the beginning of season four, Harry has returned to Earth-2 for undisclosed reasons; Cisco mentions him as one of the scientists who helped develop a means to bring back Barry without destabilizing the Speed Force.[14] Harry returns to live on Earth-1 after an argument with Jesse,[15] and helps the team fight Clifford DeVoe.[16][17] Frustrated with the fact that he is not as smart as DeVoe,[18] Harry build an intelligence-enhancing "thinking cap" to outwit DeVoe.[19] But when Harry pushes the device past its safety limits during one of DeVoe's assaults, his brain gets damaged;[20] now the more he uses his intellect, the faster he loses it.[21] Following DeVoe's defeat, with help from his widow Marlize, Team Flash manages to restore Harry's intelligence to a normal level; thankful that they have given him a "balance" between his head and his heart, he returns to Earth-2.[22]

H. R. Wells

Harrison "H. R." Wells of Earth-19 is one of several versions of Harrison Wells in the third season that finds the cryptogram sent by Harry through the multiverse and expresses interest in aiding Team Flash.[23] After being chosen as Harry's replacement, H. R. is revealed to not be a scientist and admits that he came to Earth-1 primarily to get material for a novel. Barry suggests letting H. R. stay a few weeks and he proves his worth by helping form plans and locating super-criminals.[24][25] He trains Wally West to be a hero and, after discovering how many criminals breached the facility, strives to transform S.T.A.R. Labs into a museum to maintain Team Flash's cover.[26][27] Gypsy, an enforcer from Earth-19, arrives to retrieve H. R. on charges of crossing dimensions, but is defeated by Cisco. She spares H. R. and warns him not to return to Earth-19.[28] In the battle against Savitar, H. R. sacrifices himself by disguising himself as Iris and taking her place to be killed by Savitar. His death is avenged when Iris kills Savitar.[13]

Sherloque Wells

Harrison Sherloque Wells, a detective from Earth-221,[29] is hired in the fifth season by Team Flash to investigate the mystery of the metahuman serial killer Cicada, staying on Earth-1 after his initial deductions prove incorrect because this version of Cicada has a different secret identity than the 37 versions Sherloque has previously identified;[30] this version is later revealed as Orlin Dwyer.[31] Sherloque is also suspicious of Barry's future daughter Nora West-Allen,[30] and secretly investigates the speedster, leading him to discover her allegiance with his Earth-1 doppelgänger's impostor and killer Eobard Thawne.[32][33] Sherloque has married, and subsequently divorced, the Renee Adler of various Earths in the multiverse and eventually starts dating the Earth-1 version of her.[34] He sends the Earth-1 Renee, who is a metahuman, to his Earth to keep her safe from Cicada II.[35] With both versions Cicada of defeated, Sherloque returns to his Earth and seeks out Renee.[36]

Other variants of Wells

Throughout the series, many versions of Wells from across the multiverse have made brief appearances. In season three, several variants of Wells, along with H. R., appear as candidates to replace Harry from Team Flash, such as a cowboy from an unspecified Earth calling himself "Hell's Wells"; Wells of Earth-17, a British-accented steampunk scientist; and a French-speaking mime artist from another unspecified Earth.[37][38] During the fourth season, Harry briefly creates the "Council of Wells", which consists of the smartest versions of himself from across the multiverse: Herr Harrison Wolfgang Wells, a German author and scientist from Earth-12; H. Lothario Wells, a wealthy playboy-scientist from Earth-47; and Wells 2.0., a cyborg from Earth-22. Also shown is a wizard variant named "Wells the Grey".[39][38][a] Following Harry's expulsion from the Council of Wells, a new group, termed the "Council of Harrisons" by Cisco, is formed. Along with Harry, this Council includes Lothario Wells; Sonny Wells of Earth-24; and H. P. Wells, a French poet from Earth-25.[42][43]

Development

Executive producers Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg, and DC Comics CCO Geoff Johns, created the character of Harrison Wells for The CW series The Flash,[44] although he is first mentioned in the Arrow season 2 episode "Three Ghosts."[45] While a character named "Dr. Wells" had appeared in "Elevator To Nowhere", a 1980 episode of the ABC animated series Super Friends,[46] and another namesake character in Flash TV Special #1, a January 1991 tie-in comic book with the CBS live-action series The Flash (1990),[47] Johns has said that Harrison Wells is an original creation for the CW series.[48] On February 10, 2014, Tom Cavanagh was cast in the role, described as "a rock star in the world of physics and the mind and money behind Central City's S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator."[49] This differed from the comics where Garrison Slate founded S.T.A.R. Labs.[50] Cavanagh described Apple founder Steve Jobs as an inspiration for the character.[51] It was eventually revealed that "Wells" was actually Eobard Thawne, who assumed the real Wells' identity after murdering him.[52]

Since season 2, Cavanagh has portrayed other versions of Wells, primarily "Harry" of Earth-2.[53][54] He differentiated each version based on character mannerisms, voice, and origin story.[55] Cavanagh described Harry as someone who "seems bad but he's good", the opposite of Thawne.[56] Grant Gustin, who portrays Barry Allen, described Harry as a "douchebag." Cavanagh said it was his own idea to portray the character as egotistical, though he was not written that way.[57] He also described Harry as "socially awkward", but ultimately "a good guy at heart."[58] Kriesberg differentiated Harry from Thawne by calling him "a tortured man who's beset with guilt" who loves his daughter. He added, "[Harry is] a jerk, but he's doing everything he's doing because he loves his daughter more than anything in the world."[59] According to Cavanagh, Harry was created to give the series a "daily antagonist".[60][61]

Season 3 introduces "H. R." of Earth-19.[37] Cavanagh described him as "a bit of a con man ... But I didn't want to repeat myself from [season two], so what I thought I would try [this season] is a guy who fills it up with comedy."[56] He said the character was created to bring more "comedic power" to the series in a way that would not undermine its serious narrative.[62] Regarding the relationship between Harry and H. R., he said, "Harry hated [H. R.] because he thought he was an idiot. H. R. thought Harry was the best thing ever."[63] H. R. and the three other versions of Wells seen in the episode "The New Rogues" were created by Cavanagh.[64]

The fictional detective Sherlock Holmes was the inspiration for Sherloque, introduced in season 5.[65] Similarly, Sherloque's unseen partner was named Watsune (a play on the name of Holmes' partner Dr. Watson),[66] and Sherloque's ex-wives named Renee Adler (a play on another Sherlock Holmes character Irene Adler).[67] Cavanagh described Sherloque as "a very intelligent human being who is maybe not to be trusted",[68] and as being filled with "intrigue and deceit, fun, humor, intensity, and very loud."[54] He called the character a combination of Harry's intelligence and H. R.'s comedic personality.[63] The Flash season four and five showrunner Todd Helbing described Sherloque as "a master detective." The character was written as a French man.[69][70]

Regarding the creation of the Council of Wells, Cavanagh recalled:

"We had a sprinkling of it when they were on their quest for H. R. Wells last year where we had Hells Wells, Mime Wells, and Steampunk Wells, and so that was just a one-off, but that got everybody's juices flowing like, 'If we were to do that, what would that look like with there being a Council of Wells that could convene?' [...] We thought, 'Oh, this is going to be completely obnoxious and shameless when I get a hold of it,' and it is proving to be super obnoxious and ultra-shameless in hopefully the most appealing way."[71]

Helbing described the Council of Wells as being "all about intelligence and being the smartest people in the universe", and the Council of Harrisons as its "emo version."[72] Cavanagh described Herr Wells as someone who thinks "everything that is not German is not good" and Wells 2.0 as a "bad ass from the Outback, who doesn't like anybody."[58] Gandalf, a character in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth stories, was the model for Wells the Grey, Hugh Hefner was the inspiration for H. Lothario Wells,[73][74] and the Mad Max franchise was the inspiration for Wells 2.0.[75]

Reception

In her review of the episode "The New Rogues", which features Cavanagh portraying multiple versions of Wells, Angelica Jade Bastién of Vulture said that the different Wells "let Tom Cavanagh stretch himself even more as an actor."[76] She criticized his portrayal of H. R. in the episode "Untouchable." Bastién felt he was an "annoying character" who was "just another symbol of the show's inability to grow", with his only purpose being to "continue the Harrison Wells mythos."[77] Irina Curovic of Comic Book Resources described Cavanagh's portrayal of the versions of Wells introduced to that point as "flawless", noting that "Harry was the best fit for team Flash. Not only did he contribute to the team, but he also established meaningful relationships with the members of the team."[78] Writing for the same website, Stephanie Holland criticized H. R., describing him as a "hipster Wells, who carries around drumsticks, wears a stupid hat and skinny jeans." She felt he was included only to "keep Tom Cavanagh around in a new role." Holland added that while Cavanagh was "fantastic at making every Wells different, HR just didn't fit on the show."[79] Digital Spy's Morgan Jeffrey felt H. R. did not contribute much to Team Flash except for "plenty of enthusiasm", and was "a tad annoying", but wrote that, by sacrificing his life to save Iris, H. R. "eventually proved his worth."[80]

Adam Holmes of Cinema Blend ranked Harry sixth on his list of 10 Best TV Characters DC Introduced in 2015.[81] Reviewing Cavanagh's performance as Harry in the episode "The Darkness and the Light", Eric Walters of Paste said, "Having Tom Cavanagh back is wonderful, and he has brought a renewed energy with him. When Harrison 2 referred to Cisco as 'Crisco,' I knew this episode was going to be hot fire."[82] Screen Rant's Jason Berman ranked Cavanagh fifth on his 2016 list 20 Best Actors in the Arrowverse, saying, "By now, it has become clear that actors on The Flash are tasked with playing various incarnations of their characters. But Tom Cavanagh (who plays Harrison Wells) has had to take that to the extreme. Cavanagh has showed off his acting chops by playing no less than five different versions of his character on The Flash."[83]

The Council of Wells and the Council of Harrisons received a divided reception among critics; some praised their humor and Cavanagh's versatility in portraying them, while others criticized the skit nature of both Councils.[84][85][86][87] In his review of "When Harry Met Harry..." IGN's Jesse Schedeen felt the Council of Wells was "basically an excuse for Cavanagh to put on funny wigs and ridiculous accents."[88] He had similar feelings for the episode "Harry and the Harrisons" where Harry joined the Council of Harrisons.[89] Scott Von Doviak of The A.V. Club said this Council did not "make a whole lot of sense, even from a comic-book multiverse perspective", and that its members felt like "community theater skit characters."[87] In his review of the season 4 penultimate episode "Think Fast", which shows Harry's declining intelligence because of the effects of the Thinking Cap, Schedeen felt that "Cavanagh is doing a fine job of depicting Harry's deteriorating mental state, playing it both for laughs and tragedy as the situation demands."[90]

Mike Cecchini of Den of Geek stated he was initially skeptical of Sherloque during the character's introduction in the fifth season, but while reviewing the episode "Godspeed", said he turned into an "absolute delight." He claimed that, despite the character's limited screentime in the episode, he used it "incredibly effectively", appreciating "the way that he doubles down on not telling the team about his Nora suspicions."[91] In contrast, Schedeen said that while Cavanagh was able to differentiate the various versions of Wells through subtle intonation, body language and personality changes, "Sherloque relied far too heavily on a silly French accent. He felt gimmicky in comparison to his predecessors. And while Sherloque definitely had his moments in Season 5 (mainly as he turned his considerable skills of deduction against his own teammates), the character too often felt superfluous."[92]

Other appearances

Cavanagh voiced Thawne masquerading as Earth-1 Wells in the episode "Ants on a Hamburger" of the unrelated animated series Robot Chicken.[93][94] During the "Crisis on Earth-X" crossover event featuring episodes of Supergirl, Arrow, The Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow (all part of the Arrowverse franchise), he appeared as Harry in all four episodes.[95][96] The Earth-27 version of Wells appears in The Flash: Johnny Quick, a tie-in novel to The Flash.[97]
