The Flash Season 2: 12 Big Questions We're Asking After 'Enter Zoom'

2. How The Hell Can Barry Stop Him?

As mentioned in the intro, Zoom literally caught a lightning bolt. Not only that, but he threw it back at Barry. And then preceded to beat the crap out of him, and parade him around Central City for the media, the police, and finally the STAR Labs team to see just how easily he'd defeated their hero. It slightly mirrors the ass-kicking Reverse-Flash gave him, but differs in a couple of big ways. One, this is a much more experienced and powerful Barry we're seeing, and two, the beating he gets is worse. As in, it's a legitimate possibility that Zoom could kill him at this point (and if he hadn't been so keen on showing off, maybe he would have). This is a huge test now for Barry, and at the moment Zoom just looks so much more powerful that it's really difficult to see how he could possibly defeat him. Obviously he will, because he's the hero of this show and that's just how it works, but how on this or any Earth he does it remains a big mystery for now.
