The Flash Season 2: 8 Crazy Theories About Zoom

4. The Prisoner Is Earth-1 Jay Garrick

The CW
The Flash has done a remarkable job of maintaining a constant mystery this season. When it finally starts giving some answers to the question of Zoom€™s identity, it immediately takes a turn and gives viewers a whole new question to ponder: just who is under the iron mask? There€™s been rampant speculation all over the place, but considering that he doesn€™t look old or black (seemingly ruling out Henry Allen and Wally West), his apparent blond hair, and the fact that he spelled out €˜Jay€™ all suggest it€™s some version of Jay Garrick. Knowing that Zoom has been operating under the name of Jay Garrick on Earth-1, it seems like that he has, in one way or another, assumed Jay€™s identity. Whether it€™s as simple as using his name instead of Hunter Zolomon, or as messed up as using a face-changing technology similar to Eobard Thawne€™s last year, it seems likely that the Jay Garrick Team Flash thought they were dealing with is really the one that was being held prisoner this entire time.
