Hunter Zolomon / Zoom
Hunter Zolomon / Zoom (portrayed by Teddy Sears,[63] initially portrayed by Ryan Handley,[64][65] voiced by Tony Todd;[66] seasons 2–3 & 5 & 9) is a speedster from Earth-2 who is obsessed with being the only speedster in the multiverse and the main antagonist of season two. Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg said, in season one "with the Reverse-Flash, we just modulated Tom Cavanagh's voice, and this year we wanted to do something a little bit different [for Zoom]. Part of the mystery of the season is who or what is underneath the Zoom outfit, and so we wanted to do something like James Earl Jones as Darth Vader — this iconic voice coming out of this mask."[66] Hunter was a traumatized child (portrayed by Octavian Kaul[67]) that witnessed his mother's murder at his father's hands, which triggered his bloodlust as a serial killer before he gained his speedster abilities from the particle-accelerator explosion on Earth-2. Dissatisfied, he sought to increase his speed with the Velocity serums which he soon discovered carried a fatal illness. He also traveled the multiverse and imprisoned Jay Garrick with a speed-dampening mask after he's unsuccessful in stealing Jay's speed to cure himself. Inspired to be both hero and villain, he uses Jay's name as the fraudulent Flash of Earth-2 to instill false hope, which he then takes away as Zoom. Discovering Earth-1, he plots to increase Barry's speed, sending various metahumans from Earth-2 to fight the Flash of Earth-1 while also infiltrating the team as Caitlin Snow's love interest. Zoom extorts Harry Wells into physically stealing Barry's speed by kidnapping Jesse Wells. After succeeding in stealing Barry's speed, Zoom brings his army of Earth-2 metahumans to conquer Earth-1 and construct a device capable of destroying the other Earths in the multiverse, to ensure he remains the only speedster. Hunter seeks to corrupt Caitlin's mind into being like Earth-2 Killer Frost and then Barry's by killing Henry in the same spot the Reverse-Flash killed Nora, convinced that they are similar because of their childhood traumas. However, Barry ultimately bests Zoom in their final fight before two Time Wraiths arrive to punish him for his crimes against the time line; they transform him into the corpse-like Black Flash enslaved to the Speed Force. Subjugated to the Time Wraiths, the Black Flash makes occasional appearances, such as to hurt Savitar before being killed by Earth-1 Killer Frost.
- Sears also briefly portrays the Earth-1 version of the character, a non-metahuman individual.[68][69]
Jay Garrick / Flash
Jay Garrick (portrayed by John Wesley Shipp; seasons 2–4 & 6–9) is the Earth-3 version of Henry Allen. Hunter Zolomon held him captive in a failed attempt to harness his speed before being inspired to take up his name and persona to falsely operate as the Flash of Earth-2. Zoom keeps him from escaping by forcing Jay to wear a mask that suppressed his speed and prevented him from talking. After Zoom's defeat, Jay is rescued by Barry and returns to Earth-3. Jay adopts Hunter's Flash helmet as a symbol of hope, taking satisfaction in taking something from Zoom as the villainous speedster had done to him.[70] After learning that Henry is his Earth-1 doppelgänger and Barry is Henry's son, Jay watches over Barry as a sympathetic yet stern mentor to which a friendship develops. After Barry undoes Flashpoint and trying to fix the mistakes left in its wake, he explains to Barry that time travel can have adverse consequences and that Barry must live with these mistakes.

[Jay] is much more reminiscent of my Barry Allen from 25 years ago than my Henry Allen. I went back and I was amazed how much attitude my Barry Allen had in some situations. I went back and I picked up that thread and I brought it forward 25 years, and tried to weave it in."[71]
