In computer science, and in particular functional programming, a hylomorphism is a recursive function, corresponding to the composition of an anamorphism followed by a catamorphism. Fusion of these two recursive computations into a single recursive pattern then avoids building the intermediate data structure. This is an example of deforestation, a program optimization strategy. A related type of function is a metamorphism, which is a catamorphism followed by an anamorphism.
Detective Eddie Thawne is a police detective working alongside Detective Joe West. Eobard Thawn is the descendant of Eddie Thawne (Eobard Thawne is Reverse Flash / Harrison Wells and is also the Flashâs mentor and nemesis BTW) so basically, Eobard Thawne is from the future and got stuck during the present due to a lost battle with the Flash.
Eobard Thawne was a wealthy young man living in the 2460s. He longed for the heroic age of the 20th century. Foremost among the superheroes, in his mind, was Barry Allen, the second Flash. He worshiped him as a hero and as a friend. He knew everything about Barry, keeping a collection of memorabilia about his hero. At the center was Barry's biography, The Life Story of The Flash by Iris Allen. Barry's life became as real to Eobard as was his own. He underwent a Plastomorph operation to make himself look like Barry. One day, he came across Barry's Cosmic Treadmill in an antique store.
