But if Eobard was erased from time, why wasn’t the entire timeline that he created destroyed along with him? That question was answered in the episode The Reverse-Flash Returns. Last seen, Eddie Thawne sacrificed his own life to prevent his future descendant, Eobard Thawne, from being born and effectively erasing the Reverse-Flash from existence.

The possibility exists that Joe inherited Speed Force powers in place of either Earth-2 Barry or Earth-2 Wally West. Seeing as Joe is present at the police station during Zoom’s parading of Barry’s broken body around Central City, it would most likely be the Earth-2 version of Joe that took on the mantle of Zoom if the theory proved correct.Įarth-2 established that Robert Queen was the Arrow instead of his son Oliver, establishing a precedent of fathers on Earth-2 taking up the role that their sons play on Earth-1. Of course, this revelation could also be used as a great source of drama in confrontations with Barry and the rest of the STAR Labs team. He serves as the show’s grounding rod and emotional center for many of the characters and revealing him to be the evil-incarnate Zoom would take everything about Joe’s character and effectively throw it into a breach. Only known by one name, the question is: Who is Zoom?īarry Allen’s foster father Joe West has no previous connections to the Speed Force and is the “everyman” on a show where powers are the norm for a lot of the leads and recurrent guest stars. Only a well timed rescue by Cisco Ramon saved the day. Eventually, Zoom and Barry faced off, with Zoom easily defeating Barry, breaking his back in the process and parading his broken body in front of Central City. The creation of the Singularity at the end of Season 1 created breaches between Earth-1 and Earth-2 over the course of the first half of the season, Zoom sent metahumans from Earth-2 to attempt to kill the Flash.

Tony Todd lends his deep iconic voice to the role of Zoom, but the physical actor portraying the role has not been revealed. Hot on the heels of a successful of Season 1, Season 2 of The Flash introduced a new villain to oppose Barry Allen and the STAR Labs team: Zoom, a speedster apparently from Earth-2 clad in a black version of the Flash’s iconic costume, with talon-like fingertips and a mask seemingly melted onto his face.
