First appearance of the Multiverse? Well, maybe.
Modrie comes from World 86, a dimension that neighbors Earth 1. He's a lab assistant, and a pretty disgruntled one at that. When his boss makes a scale model of Central City, he's less than impressed, but the model shows what will happen in the real Central City one hour from now?
Suddenly he's very keen on the project. Sneaking into Earth 1, Modrie proceeds to make a fortune with what he knows. Everything goes great, until he makes so much the IRS notices and demands their cut. Seems like he could simply become someone else, but eh.
The Flash investigates, for some reason but problems arise. Modrie's boss in World 86 discovers what he's been up, and the model shows the Flash being gunned down...
Interesting, I'll say that. You rarely see a villain raging against a W-2
