The Flash Season 2: 8 Ups And 3 Downs From 'Rupture'

7. Zoom’s Power

One of the greatest parts of this latest Flash offering was getting to see Zoom at work.

Sure, we’ve seen him in action plenty of times before and have heard even more stories of his heinous acts, but it was pretty badass to see him take down a whole squadron of police officers at Jitters. Dropping multiple officers in a matter of seconds, Zoom showed that he really isn’t someone to f*ck with. Adding more impact to this, of course, is that the footage of this savage attack was beamed out on the national news.

When he’s been allowed to be, Zoom has come off as a truly terrifying and clinical villain, one who is happen to see blood spilt, and this latest episode showed him taking great pleasure in a public display of his handiwork.
