hunter zolomon / zoom (portrayed by teddy sears, initially portrayed by ryan handley, voiced by tony todd) is a speedster from earth-2 who is obsessed with becoming 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." hunter was a traumatized child (portrayed by octavian kaul) that witnessed his mother's murder at his father's hands which triggered his bloodlust as a serial killer before he gained his powers from the particle-accelerator explosion on earth-2. dissatisfied, he sought to increase his speed with the velocity serum but soon discovered it carried a fatal illness. searching for a cure, he traveled the multiverse and captured jay garrick. unsuccessful in stealing jay's speed to cure himself, hunter kept jay imprisoned with a speed-dampening mask. inspired to be both hero and villain, he used jay's name as the fraudulent flash of earth-2 to instill false hope which he would take away as zoom. discovering earth-1, he plotted to increase barry's speed and then steal it, sending various metahumans from earth-2 to fight the flash while also infiltrating the team as jay. zoom extorts harry wells into physically stealing barry's speed by kidnapping jesse wells. he also becomes caitlin snow's love interest. 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 becoming like earth-2 killer frost and then barry's by killing henry in the same spot eobard killed nora, convinced that they are similar because of their childhood traumas. however, barry ultimately bests hunter in their final fight and summons two time wraiths to punish him for his crimes against the timeline; they transform him into the corpse-like black flash enslaved to the speed force. subjugated to the time wraiths, the black flash made occasional appearances in season three, such as to hurt savitar before being killed by the earth-1 killer frost. based on the dc comics character of the same name.
