#ZOOM EARTH SERIAL#

His real name is Hunter Zolomon and he is a serial killer on Earth-2 (he was inspired by his father, remember that?). He then takes off his mask to reveal that he IS JAY GARRICK?! In a later episode, we learn that Jay Garrick is an alias being used by Zoom. Later, Zoom jumps through a portal into Earth-1 and kills Jay Garrick before returning to his own world of Earth-2. While working with the psychopathic Reverse Flash, Eobard Thawne, Zoom caused Wally West’s wife to have a miscarriage. Zolomon then made it his life’s mission to bring pain and misery to Wally, and dubbed himself “Zoom,” a villainous speedster. Still resentful of Wally West, Zolomon reasoned that the speedster had refused to help him because he had never suffered a tragedy in his own life. He attempted to use the treadmill himself, but a malfunction caused the machine to explode, which left Zolomon miraculously unparalyzed! He also gained super speed powers from the result of the explosion, and was able to travel through time. Wally’s decision shattered the pair’s friendship, and left Zolomon bitter and angry. Zolomon begged West to use a time traveling cosmic treadmill (yes, really) to go back into the past and prevent his injury, but Wally refused, as he didn’t want to mess up the timestream. It was then that he was injured again-this time during an encounter with Gorilla Grodd-and left paralyzed from the waist down. He was fired from the FBI due to fallout from his mission, and picked up a career as a profiler, befriending speedster Wally West. After a disastrous encounter with an armed criminal, Zolomon needed a cane to walk. He became obsessed with the criminal mind because of this incident, and later went on to study criminology and psychology before starting a career with the FBI. After his father was gunned down in a battle with the police, Zolomon was orphaned. His father was a serial killer responsible for the murder of six little girls and Zoloman’s own mother.

Hunter Zolomon is a young man who had a really rough life.
