Very good actually, since they dropped the ball with Zolomon's characterization, and explained the shallowness with only "lel childhood drama".

Except the cause of such drama would probably fuel Zolomon's desire to become a ruthless vigilante, or at least a man that can control crime under his watch, like Two-Face or Fisk. Instead, he just became and uncaring killer.

If I did Zolomon's rise to Zoomin', I'd probably have him hunt down his father, his father's friends from the war, kill some cops while on the run resisting arrest, before slowly sliding down the slippery slope and starting to appreciate murder as the way to solve problems.
