Not everything is “reversed”. I had to keep some things constant for lack of ideas but I still say it’s a good Au. So, let’s get started shall we?
Iris West aka the Streak. Iris is a talented journalist with ambition and a hunger to reveal the truth to readers. Her father, detective Joe West, was arrested and found guilty for the murder of his wife, a crime he did not commit. Iris always said it was the “lightning” that really killed her mother. At age 10, Iris was practically orphaned along with her younger brother, Wally, who was 6 at the time. Iris and her brother were taken in by Henry Allen and his wife, and the West siblings lived with them and their son, Barry, who became Iris’s best friend. Knowing her father was innocent, Iris from then made a promise to always uncover the truth so she became a reporter. She was struck by lightning while visiting Barry Allen at his lab in the CCPD the night the Particle Accelerator exploded. She woke up with super speed and became the Streak with her signature purple lightning trailing behind her as she ran.
Barry Allen was friends with Iris West before her mother was murdered. His parents took in Iris and her brother, and Barry was fiercely protective of them both. Barry always believed Joe was innocent, so as he grew he became determined to become a CSI and prove the innocence of Joe West. He is now the head CSI at CCPD and is good friends with many of the officers, including a detective by the name of Ralph Dibny. The night the Particle Accelerator exploded, Iris had to come visit Barry at his lab and discuss her father’s case when lightning broke through the ceiling and struck her. Barry was worried about Iris the entire time she was in her coma, but didn’t know she had gained powers. When she woke up, he was overjoyed that his best friend and love of his life (of course he still has a crush on her) was awake and fine. He didn’t know who the Streak was, but Barry did know that she was helpful to Central City.
Wally West lost his mother when he was 6, and it was always said that his father was the one who killed her. He was taken in by the Allen family with his sister, but Wally always had trouble adjusting to life with them. As he grew older, Wally showed anger and resentment towards his father for his mother’s murder. Wally didn’t believe Iris, and always told her their father was guilty. At the age of 15, Wally became fascinated with cars and decided to become an engineer. However, at 17 he got lost on the world of car racing and participate in illegal street races. After his 19th birthday, Wally moved to Keystone to go to college, and visits Central City duding his breaks.
Cisco Ramon is a brilliant bio-engineer at STAR Labs with a nerdy side to him that he doesn’t try to hide. Cisco grew up in the shadow of his older brother and wanted to prove he was more. He was recruited by Dr. Eobard Thawne (who was actually Harrison Wells in disguise) to work on the Particle Accelerator project. While there, he met a technician by the name of Cynthia who he fell in love with and eventually became engaged to. When the Particle Accelerator exploded, Cynthia died and Cisco was left alone and in pain. He closed himself off emotionally, and became cold and distant. He helps Iris while she’s the Streak, and eventually later on he discovers he has meta abilities of his own. Cisco develops a split personality called Frost Bite who has the powers to generate ice and snow. Frost Bite is harsh, cruel, and malicious, and everything Cisco isn’t. As Frost Bite, Cisco’s hair becomes a bright white, his skin paling into a soft blue and his eyes are completely white.
Caitlin Snow is the mechanical engineer at STAR Labs. Her parents worked in the field of biology but Caitlin wanted to branch away from her roots so she studied to become the mechinal engineer she is now. She was recruited by Dr. Eobard Thawne to work on the Particle Accelerator project. There, she met Cynthia and Cisco, the two people who became her best friends. Caitlin’s bubbly and friendly nature mixed well with Cisco’s eager personality, and Cynthia’s sometimes cynical mood. When the Particle Accelerator exploded and Cynthia was killed, Caitlin was there to comfort Cisco whenever he needed it despite that he closed himself off. Caitlin helped nurse Iris back to health and helped train her to become the Streak, even designing the costume Iris wears. Later, when it is discovered of Eobard’s betrayal, Caitlin is killed by Dash, the evil speedster rivaling Iris’s Streak. Iris resets the day and Caitlin doesn’t die this time, but her breach powers are activated giving her the ability to sense things happening, things that will happen, as well as open breaches for travel. From there, Caitlin becomes Portal and works alongside Iris.
Dr. Eobard Thawne/Harrison Wells was the director of STAR Labs. The true Eobard Thawne was murdered long ago by Harrison Wells, a criminal from the future. Harrison took the disguise of Eobard and created STAR Labs in hopes of Iris West becoming the Streak. Harrison’s daughter in the future was obsessed with the Streak and Harrison would do anything to help his daughter achieve her dream. When the Particle Accelerator was complete, Harrison brought his daughter from the future and introduced her as Jesse Quick (as opposed to her real name, Jesse Wells), and claimed she was his “niece”. When the Particle Accelerator exploded, Jesse got injured but gained the ability of super speed. Together, they secretly planned to take down the Streak. Eventually, however, both Harrison and Jesse were killed while attempting to travel back to their time.
Jesse Wells is the Dash. She is the opposite of Iris’s Streak. At a young age, Jesse looked up to Streak and hoped to be like her one day. However, her idolization grew to become obsession and eventually twisted into hatred after Jesse realized she could never be Streak. So, Jesse wanted to be better than Streak. Her father, Harrison Wells, travelled back in time and murdered Eobard Thawne, taking his place. Once the Particle Accelerator was complete, Harrison retrieved Jesse from the future and introduced her under the guise of Jesse Quick, Eobard’s “niece”. The Accelerator exploded, severely wounding Jesse but she developed super speed and healed quickly. From there, she planned on defeating Iris before going back to her own time. But as she and her father were about to escape, they were killed by Time Wraiths.
Ralph Dibny is a detective by day and superhero by night. When he was 10, his mother mysteriously disappeared one night, leaving him with his emotionally distant father. His mother’s disappearance haunted him so Ralph decided to become a detective. He eventually began working for the CCPD and became good friends with the lead CSI, Barry Allen, along with Iris West. He learned that Barry was helping Iris investigate her mother’s murder due to them believing her father was innocent. Ralph decided to help them, and the three began investing further. On the night of the Particle Accelerator explosion, Ralph was in Barry’s lab with Barry and Iris when Iris got struck by lightning. Both Barry and Ralph were injured, but Ralph’s injuries were more severe and he nearly died. Despite that, he continued to help investigate. Out of the group, Ralph was the first to discover Iris was the Streak, and promised to keep her secret from Barry. When Iris went back in time and created Streakspot after saving her mother from being murdered, then eventually resetting the timeline, Ralph developed his meta abilities and became Elongated Man.
Ronny Raymond is a breacher and collects inter-dimensional criminals. He’s a bounty hunter under the name of Void and stumbled across Team Streak and Caitlin while he was searching for E.A. Thawne (Earth-19). Ronny was going to arrest E.A. but decided against it last minute after Caitlin begged him not to. Fascinated by Caitlin and her abilities, Ronny would visit Earth-1 every so often, and eventually developed a relationship with Caitlin. It ended after he offered her a job as a breacher and she refused because she couldn’t leave her friends behind. Their relationship ended and Caitlin hasn’t seen Ronny since.
Eobard “Eo” Thawne (Earth-2) came to Earth-1 in an attempt to stop the Blur, an evil speedster from his world. Team Streak was very suspicious of Eo at first but eventually grew to trust him. He helped them stop the Blur and his intention was to go back to his Earth, but instead he stayed on Earth-1 a bit longer until an emergency on his world happened. Not wanting to leave them without a Thawne, he sent out an algorithm that only a Thawne would be able to solve.
E.A. Thawne (Earth-19) came to Earth-1 after his partner solved the algorithm but E.A. took the credit. He’s not as intelligent as his doppelgänger but what E.A. lacks in brains he makes up for in heart. E.A. helps Team Streak defeat Savitar, an evil speedster goddess who was supposed to murder Barry, but E.A. took Barry’s place and was killed himself.
