The Flash Season 2: 9 Big Questions We're Asking After 'The Man Who Saved Central City'

2. Zoom Is Coming...But When?

The Flash Season 2

In the build-up to season 2 we've had quite a lot of teasing about the new big bad, with the tagline that 'Zoom is coming'. That's confirmed further in this episode, first with Atom-Smasher admitting it was him who put him up to his atomic smashing ways, while we're presuming that's who Jay Garrick is warning about. 

The mystery of Zoom is set to play throughout the season, as we won't know his true identity. Tony Todd (Candyman) is going to be the voice of the villain, but in a bit of a Darth Vader type move it'll be someone different actually playing him, and that isn't going to be revealed for some time. 

He's another speedster, although one with the ability to alter time around him rather than just run really fast, so he should be able to get to Central City pretty quickly depending on where he is. The likelihood at the moment seems that he's currently in an alternate dimension. Is that the case, and if so, Zoom, when exactly are you getting here?
