Dr. Harrison Wells, in DC Comics continuity, is a brilliant scientist originating from the 22nd century. While primarily known from the CW television series, The Flash, his comic book counterpart shares some core elements but diverges significantly.

Wells' defining characteristic is his intellect, specializing in theoretical physics and technological innovation. He possesses a deep understanding of the Speed Force and its potential applications, often driven by a desire to exploit or control it for his own purposes, sometimes with disastrous consequences.

The comic book Wells is not a consistently benevolent figure. His future origins often position him as an antagonist or anti-hero, using his advanced knowledge to manipulate events and people in the present. Alternate versions and timelines further complicate his characterization, making him a multifaceted and morally ambiguous presence within the DC Universe. Unlike the show, there is no single Wells character, but many different versions scattered across the Multiverse.
