After Harry Wells of Earth-2 decided to return to his Earth, Team Flash was forced to find a new Harrison Wells. Harry helped them before he left, and they ended up with H.R. Wells, a hipster looking Harrison from Earth-19.
Team Flash has had bad luck with people claiming to be Harrison Wells in the past, so they were immediately suspicious of him when he arrived. During this week’s episode of “The Flash” titled “Monster” it was clear that this version of Wells wasn’t everything he claimed to be.
While working with Team Flash on missions, he stumbled over his words and struggled to help them find solutions to their problem. In short, he wasn’t contributing much of anything to the team.
Due to his strange behavior Cisco and Barry decided to investigate. Cisco went through his bag and found a recording that revealed he was trying to win over Cisco’s trust. After Harry caught them he told them to finish playing the recording. Cisco played it, and it was revealed that H.R. Wells is an author who came to Earth-1 to write a book.
He continued to claim he was a scientist and a big part of S.T.A.R. Labs on his Earth. Later he revealed that he only thinks of himself as a scientist.
On his Earth he only came up with ideas for things, he doesn’t actually know much about science, or how to implement his ideas.
He told Team Flash that he was the face of S.T.A.R. Labs on his Earth, and when people found out the truth, they turned against him. Wells added that he wants to write a book, and help the team as a way to redeem himself.
Barry told him that he could stay on a trial basis, but if he doesn’t work out he must return to his earth.
