![]() So, basically, Jay Garrick hasn't really existed on The Flash as far as we know right now, it has always been some version of Hunter. When Barry, Cisco, and Harrison Wells travel to Earth-2, Hunter realizes he can't be in two places at once and travels back in time to grab a previous version of himself to take on the persona of Jay on Earth-1 - who Hunter/Zoom later kills through the breach - leaving him free to be Zoom on Earth-2. Still with me? Because it's about to get even trickier. Now, Hunter gets ahead of Caitlin and shows her the Earth-1 version of Hunter Zolomon, attributing the different names to the differences in their universes. Everything is going fine until Caitlin digs into Hunter's health and realizes he's dying, then digs into Jay Garrick's Earth-1 doppelgänger to realize he doesn't exist. But, when he realizes Barry doesn't have enough speed, Hunter dons the persona of Jay again in order to infiltrate the S.T.A.R. Hunter traveled to Earth-1 after the singularity opened in the show's season 1 finale in order to surveil their version of The Flash. ![]() Then the singularity opened between Earth-2 and Earth-1, which gave him access to a whole new world of speedsters whose speed he needed to steal in order to stay alive. But, Hunter is a bad dude and he wanted more speed, so he began to experiment with Velocity 6, which started to kill him. Then, after becoming a speedster, Hunter played the part of the hero Jay Garrick because it was "fun" - and he presumably established himself as Zoom at the same time. It was here that we learned Hunter is from Earth-2 and witnessed his father murder his mother as a child (in a back story startlingly close to Barry's own) which led him to become a serial killer. OK, let's dive into these reveals a little bit more, starting with what we learned about Hunter Zolomon's back story in the most recent episode of The Flash. First the evil speedster was revealed to be Jay Garrick, then Jay Garrick was revealed to be Hunter Zolomon, who just so happens to look exactly like Jay Garrick? It's a bit of a head-scratcher, so I'm going to break down the mystery of Jay Garrick and Hunter Zolomon on The Flash. ![]() On this season of The Flash, the show has twisted a very intriguing - and very confusing - mystery around the identity of Barry Allen's newest big bad, Zoom. ![]()
