This is by far, my favorite villain. The issue where it told his past was probably one of the greatest issues out there, and he will be well known when Flashpoint ends. Hats off to Zoom for being the coolest. Any thoughts on where he will end up after Flashpoint?

I really liked the issue where they talked about his past because I didn't know too much about him before that. But for favorite villain I'm gonna have to go with the rouges.

Johns has done a brilliant job of fleshing out Eobard Thawne. I've read some of his old silver age appearances and he seems so flat and 2-dimensional. He was just evil for the sake of being evil. There was never much of an explanation for his motivations.
Johns did a brilliant job fleshing out Hunter Zolomon to the point where I preferred him over Eobard Thawne. And now that he's re-introduced Thawne-- wow!
I'm wondering if Zolomon's Zoom costume will be changed to reflect it being a reverse of Wally's new uniform as he really is Wally's rogue, not Barry's. OR... maybe Zolomon is going to help Prof. Zoom out in return for Prof. Zoom changing the past for him the way that Wally never would and thus that would prevent Zolomon from ever becoming Zoom in the first place.

That is an interesting theory. What would be cool is if Prof. Zoom goes back and changes it to where Zolomon never ended up in the wheelchair and somehow makes it so Zolomon taps into the negative speedforce. So it would be two reverse flashes against the rest of the speedster family. |

He doesn't actually run fast, he slows down time and runs at regular speed. To everyone else (the Flash included) he appears to be running super fast. It certainly wouldn't be the first time the 2 Zooms teamed up together. |

I think eobard thawne, especially as written by mark waid, is the original superboy prime.
