Wow! Who saw that coming then? With no Earth-1 Jay Garrick in known existence, many were starting to think that maybe the apparent Earth-2 Jay was actually, possibly, maybe really the Earth-1 version of the character. That would explain his lack of speed, although it would also muddy the waters far too much. Instead, wed learn that the Earth-1 Jay Garrick was actually a man known as Hunter Zolomon a name that comic book fans will instantly recognise. In the comic book realm, Hunter Zolomon is the name of a friend of the Wally West version of The Flash. Well, until his back is broken at the hands of Gorilla Grodd. Pleading with Wally to go back in time and alter his fate, Zolomon resorts to becoming a speedster himself. Seeing parallels between himself and Eobard Thawne, who in the comic books is known as Professor Zoom, Zolomon decides that it is his fate to become Wally Wests Reverse-Flash, donning a yellow suit and tormenting this latest incarnation of The Flash. Of course, the big bad of this season is Zoom, a speedster from Earth-2 who wants Barry Allens speed, and the arrival of Hunter Zolomon, Zooms regular alias in comic book lore, certainly surprised many. This could play out in a whole variety of ways, and it only adds further to the mystery of just who Zoom really is.
