Hunter Zolomon
Hunter Zolomon, otherwise known as Zoom and the Reverse-Flash, is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by writer Geoff Johns and artist Scott Kolins, the character first appeared in The Flash: Secret Files & Origins #3 (November 2001). The second character to assume the Reverse-Flash mantle, he serves as the archnemesis of Wally West and an enemy of Barry Allen.
In 2009, Zoom was ranked as IGN's 37th-greatest comic book villain of all time.
Zoom appeared in the live-action Arrowverse television series The Flash, portrayed by Teddy Sears and voiced by Tony Todd.
Created by Geoff Johns and Scott Kolins, Hunter Zolomon made his debut in The Flash: Secret Files & Origins #3 in November 2001. He first appeared as Zoom in The Flash (vol. 2) #197 in June 2003.
Hunter Zolomon is the son of a serial killer who is inspired to become a criminologist and psychologist after learning of his father's identity. He later joins the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) with his wife Ashley, where he quickly makes a name for himself as a criminal profiler. His life changes after an encounter with the Clown. Zolomon assured Derek Fox, Ashley's father, that the crook would not be armed. Despite Ashley urging caution, Zolomon and Derek directly confront The Clown, and are caught off-guard when he pulls a gun. The Clown kills Derek and shoots Zolomon in the leg, permanently crippling him and forcing him to walk with a cane. Ashley divorces Zolomon, he is fired from the FBI, and he subsequently becomes a profiler in Keystone City. During his time working with Keystone City's Metahumans Unit, he became close friends with Wally West.
Zolomon is later injured in an attack by Gorilla Grodd and rendered paraplegic. He begs Wally to use the cosmic treadmill to change his history for the better, but he refuses, fearful of what will happen to the timestream. Zolomon breaks into the Flash Museum and attempts to use the treadmill himself. The resulting explosion cures Zolomon's paralysis and gives him superhuman speed. Zolomon becomes the supervillain Zoom and Ashley assumes his old job.
Zoom is freed from imprisonment by Cheetah (Barbara Minerva), seeking to recruit him into the Secret Society of Super Villains. Although the two share a minor attraction and romance, Zoom still considers himself married to Ashley.
Zoom infiltrates the Rogue war between Captain Cold's Rogues, the Trickster's reformed Rogues, and the Top's brainwashed Rogues. After spiriting Ashley out of danger to Linda's home, Zoom returns to the battlefront to dispatch Captain Cold whom he believes is wasting the Flash's time. As Wally and Kid Flash (Bart Allen) attempt to contain the battle, Zoom threatens to snap Bart's neck in a manner reminiscent of what Barry had done to Eobard Thawne. Before Zoom can kill Kid Flash, however, Thawne arrives on a cosmic treadmill with Jay Garrick chained to it.
