(And no, this isn’t a speed mirage, because Jay’s body would have faded away.) So what’s happening? Are Earth-2’s Jay and Hunter twins that were separated at birth? Is Hunter somehow a clone of Jay? Ugh, I’m starting to get a headache again. The way Kreisberg talked about Zoom in that EW interview made it sound like that was the case, but we clearly saw Zoom hurt Jay, meaning that he can’t be in two places at once.
Before “King Shark,” one of the fan theories was that Jay was really Zoom, and he was secretly plotting among Team Flash while pretending to be their friend. This isn’t your typical hero/villain dynamic, and now that Sears has been revealed to be playing Zoom, obviously these two have a weirder relationship than expected. We’ve since learned that Jay lost his speed by taking Velocity-6, and Jay also admitted that he would sometimes avoid fighting Zoom because he was so scared of him. Jay originally passed Zoom off as his arch-nemesis on Earth-2 and the metahuman responsible for stealing his speed. Following that welcome-but-complicated, reveal, here are the five biggest questions on our minds. With eight episodes left in the season, there’s still a lot we don’t know about Zoom, much like the situation with Reverse-Flash last season. Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg later identified Zoom to EW as “Hunter Zolomon, a.k.a Jay Garrick.” Although Hunter being Zoom makes sense since that’s who he is in the Flash comics, that doesn’t really clear up any questions that are wracking our brains concerning the TV series. Yes, actor Teddy Sears is the one who is playing Zoom in live-action, but unfortunately, many fans have been left more confused than satisfied by the reveal. Well, at the end of “King Shark,” viewers watched Zoom drop Jay’s body in his lair and peel off his mask to reveal himself as…Jay Garrick? You’ll remember at the end of “Escape from Earth-2” that Jay Garrick was impaled by Zoom near the breach before he was dragged back to Earth-2. Although the villain’s voice is provided by Tony Todd, the man behind the creepy mask had remained hidden until this past Tuesday, when his face was finally revealed. The biggest mystery during The Flash Season 2 has been the identity of its main antagonist, Zoom.
