What if, upon creating the Flashpoint timeline at the beginning of Season 3, Barry created an alternate version of his own timeline, allowing Savitar to torment him as penance for breaking time the way he did? In doing so he kills Iris, aligns with Killer Frost (Danielle Panabaker) and makes things generally miserable for every single member of Team Flash. At that point, he took on the Savitar mantle and armor, deciding it was time to wreak havoc on his own past life. At what point then does it all fall apart once again for the Scarlet Speedster? What we can tell based on the Savitar reveal is that at some point in the future, something horrible happens to Barry that leaves his face scarred and his spirit broken.

After all, in The Once and Future Flash Barry traveled ahead in time and convinced a very dejected version of himself to welcome his team back with open arms to save Central City.

Of course, why a future Barry would want to kill Iris is still an utter mystery. However, that must merely be the beginning of Savitar's origin. This could be another hint that Savitar is some version of Barry himself. Savitar said earlier in Season 3 that he created himself and in killing Iris (Candice Patton), he may be doing just that - setting Barry on the path to ultimately becoming a villain. 13 Images What does this mean for the future, though? That's where things get tricky because The Flash has made even more a mess of it's own timeline than usual.
