![]() There's also another detail to contend with: when Eddie killed himself to erase Eobard Thawne from existence, his body got sucked into the wormhole. We're not exactly sure why Zoom would keep Eddie prisoner, but it's possible, right? This is probably wishful thinking, but just because Eddie Thawne killed himself on Earth-1 doesn't mean that he doesn't have a doppelganger on other versions of Earth, including Earth-2. In DC Comics, Hunter Zoloman becomes Zoom, so there's credence to this theory. Or perhaps Hunter and Jay are twins, but either way, this theory could prove true. This sort of goes along with the theory that Jay and Hunter Zoloman are one in the same, but then, we get back into the sort of convoluted and complex theories of time travel and multiple universes.Ĭonsidering that we've already seen hints that Zoom is Hunter Zoloman and not Jay Garrick, this kind of goes along with the similar reasoning that Zoom wants to collect versions of himself to either cure an illness or to grow more powerful (we're betting on the latter). What if that guy we saw sitting on the park bench in the scene with Jay and Caitlin was just a ruse set up by Zoom to keep Caitlin from getting too hot on the Zoom trail? Perhaps Zoom set up his prisoner as Jay's DNA match there, but then later takes him back to prison on Earth-2. We've already learned that Hunter Zoloman is Jay Garrick's DNA match, and we've seen him on Earth-1. Why? Zoom seeks to become more powerful, so maybe he wants to harness power from multiple versions of the Flash (specifically as he tasked Harrison Wells with stealing power from present day Earth-1 Barry to begin with). We already know that Zoom has powers far greater than Barry's, and that means that he can travel through time at will, so maybe he nabbed the Flash from future Earth-1 and captured him. Perhaps future Barry gets kidnapped by Zoom and put in a prison that will hold him and prevent him from using his speed powers. So, what happens to future Barry Allen that causes him to go missing? That future disappearance was never resolved, not even after the team erased Earth-1 Harrison Wells/Eobard Thawne from existence. In the first season of The Flash, we saw a newspaper article from the future about the Flash's disappearance. Yes, it's all very convoluted, but that's what happens when you have a show about multiple Earths and time travel. What if he was just the Hunter Zoloman from Earth-2 instead? This could also suggest that the Jay Garrick that Caitlin knew wasn't even Jay Garrick at all, specifically since he did not have any powers. We've already met Hunter Zoloman on Earth-1, who is, supposedly, Jay Garrick's double in that universe. Of course, this also works if another theory proves correct: that Zoom is actually Hunter Zoloman, who just pretended that he was Jay Garrick. We never saw a body when Zoom "killed" him, so what if he survived to become Zoom's prisoner? We know that Zoom can easily travel through time, so it's even possible that the man in the iron mask is the presumably dead Earth-2 version of the character. However, that begs the question as to which Jay Garrick this is. Why would Zoom want to collect other versions of himself? It would make sense that he plans on harnessing the power of all his counterparts, right? What if Zoom suffers from the same malady that threatened the life of Earth-2 Jay Garrick? Remember how Caitlin had an idea to cure him with matching DNA? Well, what if Zoom has that same illness: wouldn't he also need matching DNA to cure himself? That's why the other Jay Garricks come in handy. ![]() This also leads into the theory that Earth-2 Jay Garrick, friend to Earth-1 Team Flash, is not dead, but just another Jay in Zoom's collection. The most obvious theory involves the character being Jay Garrick from an alternate Earth, which suggests that Zoom wants to collect versions of himself.
