>"So I guess we should just forget about the 50+ years where Eobard Thawne was known as Professor Zoom because of the five comic books where he was introduced and promptly dealt during New-52. "

No, you should go read those 50 years of comics and see that he's commonly called "Zoom", because saying "Professor Zoom" all the time is a nuisance. You should also read "Blitz", where Hunter explains whom he took both "Zoom" and "Reverse-Flash" identities from.

Trying to correct somebody about calling Eobard "Zoom" is mindbogglingly crazy, when that's what he's been called since his introduction and is still called that. Hunter came second, succeeding the original Zoom.

>"And we should refer to Clark Kent as The Blur because of the years of Smallville, forget those 70+ years where he was known as Superman. "

False equivalence that actually undermines your point. Should we call Eobard only "The Reverse-Flash" because he was called that on "The Flash" and forget that he was called Zoom since his first appearance?
