The Flash Season 2: 7 Ups And 5 Downs From 'Versus Zoom'
7. The Backstory Of Hunter Zolomon
One major thing that Versus Zoom got right is how it gave us a look into the backstory of Hunter Zolomon, aka Zoom, aka faux Jay Garrick.
We learned that Zolomon was a child whose younger days were filled of terror and torment, with him having witnessed his returned-from-war pops shoot and kill his mother for wanting to leave him.
Leaving a mark on Hunter, the youngster would end up in the care system, before eventually going on to kill a whopping 23 people on his path to being declared criminally insane and lined up for the death penalty.
Luckily for Hunter Zolomon, the particle accelerator accident of Earth-2 would happen just at the right moment to free him from his confines and also give him the gift of superspeed.
