==Summary==
Hunter Zolomon is a meta-human speedster from Earth-2. Years after witnessing his father murder his mother when he was a child, Hunter became a serial killer. Following the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator explosion, Hunter was affected during electroshock therapy by the dark matter emitted, giving him superhuman speed and various other abilities derived from it. Following this, he escaped and began acting as a supervillain known as Zoom, stylized as the Speed Demon. Later, using Velocity serums, Hunter managed to artificially increase his speed to the point where he could break the dimensional barrier. Having got tired of being the villain, Hunter decided to become "the hero" as Jay Garrick/The Flash, stylized as the Crimson Comet, borrowing the name from another speedster he kept prisoner. He created the charade in order to instill false hope - hope that would be ripped away.
Discovering the existence of Barry Allen on Earth-1, Hunter travelled to the other Earth and acted as his friend and mentor, apparently training him to fight Zoom, but instead forcing Barry to increase his speed to eventually take it for himself. Hunter eventually killed a time remnant of himself to give Barry a reason to avenge "Jay" and increase his speed even further, only for his true identity as Hunter Zolomon to be discovered by Team Flash soon after. Shortly after, intending to break Barry emotionally, he murders the latter's father Henry Allen, thus being indirectly responsible for Barry creating Flashpoint. After losing a race to Barry Allen and attempting to destroy the multiverse, Time Wraiths appeared and imprisoned Hunter in the Speed Force, while reducing him to a decayed spectre-like form, similar to that of the Time Wraiths.
He returned as a mindless being bound to the will of the Speed Force for all eternity while hunting down the rogue speedster Eobard Thawne. After Eobard and the Legion of Doom assembled the Spear of Destiny and changed reality Zolomon was held captive by Eobard in S.T.A.R. Labs like a caged animal. After the timeline was restored, Zolomon chased down a future version of Eobard who had travelled to 1916 to ensure the Legends wouldn't stop him from altering reality with the Spear of Destiny and killed him also erasing all of the time remnants he had created and restored his non-existence. He was later sent to hunt down Savitar, but he was frozen and shattered by Killer Frost.

Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (Hunter is an extremely scientifically adept and well-read man, excelling in physics and chemistry and even claiming that he operated solo his personal lab and had found a way to purify heavy water without residual radiation and was a part-time professor.Flash of Two Worldsh Hunter's knowledge of the science of the Speed Force allowed him to develop the dangerous speed-enhancing Velocity serums and deduce that enough speed would be able to cure him of the drug's side effects of cellular degeneration. Hunter's scientific genius also extended to being proficient in engineering, as he was able to construct prisons capable of holding meta-humans, and devices that dampen their powers.Welcome to Earth-2 He also modified and weaponized the Magnetar into a gigantic race lap capable of harnessing the energies of speedsters and releasing a powerful pulsar, which powered by the combined energies of him and Barry, would have destroyed every other earth on the multiverse had it not been stopped. However, Hunter's abilities as a scientist were still inferior to the likes of Harrison Wells, as he could not find a way to steal the Speed Force from Jay Garrick and needed Harry's help to steal Barry's speedl)
Weaknesses:
As Zoom:
*Psychological Trauma: Hunter suffers from severe PTSD, due to him watching his father kill his mother. Barry utilized his past memories to induce extreme psychological trauma, in order for him to lose his focus and become more feral, thus allowing Barry to overpower him, trap him, and finally unmask him. He constantly has flashes of his traumatic experiences, either his father killing his mother, the orphanage he was placed in, or his shock therapy treatments. Caitlin unknowingly caused him to experience these flashes more frequently, as her words would constantly remind him of these events.
*Extreme Cold: For every Speedster, low temperatures are a problem as it slows them down and can weaken their healing abilities. Killer Frost was able to use her ice manipulation to stall him long enough for Team Flash to escape his lair.
*Time Wraiths: As Hunter continually broke the rules of the Speed Force, trying to manipulate it in order to recover from the side effects of the Velocity serums, especially after he went back in time and created a time remnant, Time Wraiths, the Speed Force's enforcers, were continually sent by the Speed Force to go after him. Hunter was terrified of the Time Wraiths and he was very careful in avoiding them as much as possible. When the Time Wraiths were intentionally summoned by Barry with the creation of a time remnant of his own, the Wraiths chose to go after and punish Zoom instead of Barry for the violation of the rules of the Speed Force.
As Black Flash:
*Diminished Senses: After becoming the Black Flash, Hunter's senses appear to be much weaker, only able to perceive targets in motion. To which, if a speedster is not currently channelling the Speed Force (i.e. remains completely still) Hunter can't sense or even see them properly. Furthermore, while he can still see things, he apparently cannot differentiate between creatures that do not have Speed Force in them and inanimate objects, meaning he is completely oblivious to any danger that isn't an active speedster.
*Interdimensional Energy: As a servant of the Speed Force, Hunter is now vulnerable to the interdimensional energy produced by Cisco's "gold-tooth" technology. While fighting him in the Speed Force, Barry overloaded the "gold-tooth" transmitter on his chest and attached it to Hunter. The interdimensional energy from the transmitter overflowed into his body, tearing him apart in an explosion of light.
*Extreme Cold: In his new form as the Black Flash, it's shown to still be a weakness to him, and the only thing who can destroy him according to Savitar, as he shatters upon being frozen by Caitlin.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Superhuman Speed: Hunter is able to move at unimaginably fast speeds, and could travel from place to place in moments. Through extreme usage of the Velocity drug, Hunter artificially enhanced his connection to the Speed Force, allowing him to move faster than any other speedster. Initially, Hunter could move at least at Mach 6361, leaving Barry Allen's initial speed not nearly able to keep up. He was however unable to outrun Barry after the younger speedster increased his speed 4 times with the tachyon prototype. After gaining all of Barry's original Speed Force energy, Hunter became considerably faster than before, being able to snap the necks of nearly every person in Jitters in less than a second. He has gotten noticeably faster than ever before after his transformation by the wraiths; he was able to keep up with Barry during their fight in the Speed Force and later easily intercept and catch Eobard Thawne before he could even react, despite the great distance for the latter.
**Superhuman Momentum: Hunter was capable of inflicting massive amounts of physical damage on his opponents by packing speed into his blows. His punches seemed to break the sound barrier. He was able to reduce Barry to a bloody mess in seconds with his deadly strikes and even break his spine, causing paralysis. Even with Barry's rapid healing, the damage inflicted on him was noticeably prolonged.
**Interdimensional Travel: Hunter was able to travel between Earth-1 and Earth-2 at will. He did so by using the "breaches" between worlds. His speed allowing him to temporarily stabilize the interdimensional "corridors" that linked any one breach on Earth-2 with a corresponding breach on Earth-1, letting him and those he brings along a pass through them. After stealing Barry's Speed Force energy, Hunter became powerful enough to create breaches with his own speed. He was able to create a portal out of thin air with a simple punching motion.
**Time Travel: Hunter can move fast enough to break open holes in the fabric of time and space, allowing him to travel through time, an ability which Hunter abused to get time remnants of himself to assist him in the current timeline.
*Accelerated Healing Factor: While unable to repair the cellular deterioration caused by the Velocity 6, Hunter's powers also afford him heightened healing capacities, allowing him to quickly heal any superficial harm to his being. Despite being shot by Cisco Ramon with a serum to dampen his speed, Hunter almost instantly recovered and ran off before the serum could take full effect, showing no signs of having been slowed down by the serum. Once obtaining Barry's Speed Force, Hunter's full regenerative properties were restored, allowed him to recover from his former cellular damage.
*Phasing: Hunter could move and vibrate any part of his body so fast that he could effortlessly change his frequency and phase himself through people or objects. This allowed him to cause people to drop dead when he phased his arm through them, however, he could also harmlessly pass through people, as he did with Caitlin. He was also capable of effortlessly vibrating through carbide, which Barry had tremendous difficulty doing at first.
*Electrokinesis: Even while only slightly accessing his powers, Zoom would produce a powerful aura of blue lightning from his body that always emanated off of him, whether he was moving at super speed or not. He could also manipulate electricity by touching it, as when Barry tried hurling lightning at Hunter, he managed to grab and hold the lightning as if it were a tangible object and hurl it back at him. When he grabbed Harrison and stabbed him with his claws, he was able to transfer electricity into him, causing him extreme pain. Seeing as Zoom was much faster than Barry when he taught him how to throw lightning, this means that Zoom could've thrown lightning if he wanted to.
*Decay Inducement: After his transformation from the Time Wraiths, Hunter has the ability to cause cellular decay to people he comes in physical contact with, effectively draining them of life. He tried to cause Flash to decay into a corpse, but this was stopped before the process was complete or even permanent.
