Together, Hunter and Ashley joined FBI, where Zolomon proved more than once his worth. Hunter studied psychology and criminology, and he became a criminal profiler, the same work his girlfriend Ashley (who later became his wife) chose. Now orphan, Hunter left for college, continuing to live alone as he had always done… but he was now obsessed with understanding the criminal mind, unable to explain to himself why he hadn’t realized who his own father was.

One day, coming back from school, Hunter found his house surrounded by police: his mother had found out that her husband was the killer of the six missing young girls the news spoke about, and told the police about it as a result, Hunter’s father killed her, and then assaulted the policemen, who killed him in turn. Hunter only knew that his parents didn’t get along well, and that they barely spoke to each other… or even to him. Hunter Zolomon suffered from quite a traumatic childhood, since he (unknowingly) was the son of a brutal serial killer.

In the comics, Zoom is actually a Reverse-Flash, but not Barry Allen‘s one, since he targets one of his most popular successors… with quite an odd reason, that puts him on a completely different level from any other Flash villain, and gives him quite an ambiguous nature. In the show, Zoom comes from Earth-2, where according to Jay Garrick‘s words he’s killed quite a number of people… and is now determined to kill The Flashfrom Earth-1 for unknown reasons, blackmailing heroes and villains from his dimension to do his bidding. In the new trailer for The Flash‘s next episode, Flash of Two Worlds, we finally get a look at this season’s big baddie, Zoom, who’ll be voiced by Tony Todd (no official casting for his portrayal yet).
