#Zoom flash unmasked serial#
Serial killings and obtaining super speed Īt some point in his life, Hunter apparently visited the city of Atlantis where one of his best friends originated and admired it as a place one wouldn't ever want to leave.
Shortly after, James was sent to prison, causing Hunter to be placed at an orphanage as none of his relatives wanted to take him in. Noticing Hunter, Ashley pleaded for him to run but James took him in front of Ashley, giving the silver helmet to Hunter and is forced to suffer the trauma of watching his father gun down his mother in cold blood. One night, at the young and vulnerable age of 11 years old, Hunter came downstairs to find his father abusing his mother, demanding respect following service in the War of the Americas. Hunter was born to James and Ashley Zolomon in Central City at unknown point in time. Hunter watches his father brutally gun down his mother in coldblood. 1.1.4.5 Trying to erase Savitar and destruction.1.1.4.1 Becoming the Speed Force's enforcer.1.1.3.3 Getting close with Caitlin Snow.1.1.3.2 First confrontation with the Flash.1.1.2 Serial killings and obtaining super speed.However, much like the original multiverse he was ultimately defeated by Team Flash. In the creation of the new multiverse, Zolomon's history was re-written, where he was apparently from Earth-Prime instead and marched on Central City with his meta-human army. He was later sent after Savitar as the time remnant tried to send fragments of himself through time using the Speed Force, only to be frozen and shattered by Killer Frost. After the timeline was restored, Zolomon chased down a future version of Eobard who had traveled to 1916 to ensure the Legends wouldn't stop him from altering reality with the Spear of Destiny, and killed Eobard, also erasing all of Eobard's time remnants. After Eobard and the Legion of Doom assembled the Spear of Destiny and changed reality, Zolomon was held captive by Eobard in S.T.A.R. He returned a short time later in the post- Flashpoint timeline as a mindless being bound to the will of the Speed Force for all eternity, while hunting down a time remnant of Eobard Thawne who existed in the new timeline due to Flashpoint, but was not supposed to exist because of ancestor Eddie Thawne's suicide. After losing a race to Barry and attempting to destroy the multiverse, Time Wraiths appeared and imprisoned Hunter in the Speed Force, while reducing him to a decayed spectre-like form known as Black Flash, similar to that of the Time Wraiths. Shortly after, intending to break Barry emotionally, he murders Henry Allen, thus being indirectly responsible for Barry's timeline change. Hunter eventually killed a time remnant of himself to give Barry a reason to avenge "Jay" and increase his speed even further, only for his true identity to be discovered by Team Flash soon after.
During that time, he and Caitlin Snow formed a romantic relationship. He created the charade in order to instill false hope-hope that would be ripped away.ĭiscovering the existence of Barry Allen/The Flash on Earth-1, Hunter traveled to the other Earth and acted as a friend and mentor, apparently training to fight Zoom, but actually planning to increase Barry's speed to eventually take it for himself. Having gotten tired of being the villain, Hunter decided to become the "hero" as Jay Garrick/the Flash, stylized as the Crimson Comet, borrowing the name from the speedster he found on another Earth and kept as prisoner. Later, using Velocity serums, Hunter managed to artificially increase his speed to the point where he could break the dimensional barrier. Following this, he escaped and began acting as the supervillain known as Zoom, stylized as the Speed Demon. Labs particle accelerator explosion, Hunter was affected during electroshock therapy by the dark matter emitted, giving him superhuman speed and various other abilities derived from it. Years after witnessing his father murder his mother when he was a child, Hunter became a serial killer. Hunter Zolomon was a meta-human speedster from Earth-2.
