User blog:Gracchus Mccarthe/If you don't yet know it, I'm obsessed with all things Zoom. I believe my first theory about him is correct. This post shows why.

The stuff from my previous post will be in italics. I'll add a comment to the sections showing evidence from the recent episode "Trajectory".

''Jay Garrick is without speed, he has yellow lightning, not blue, and he just couldn't be Zoom! He's a good guy! So was Harrison Wells (Eobard Thawne), right? Nope. It was a clever giuse. ''

Jay could have hidden his speed. It's also possible he doesn't command use of the Speed Force. Perhaps the V-6 made him able to use more powerful Velocity serums, and Eliza Harmon died because she started on a serum that was too powerful for her. Jay's  lightning color will be adressed below.

''But Jay wants to "help" Barry get more powerful! So does Zoom. The stronger Barry is, the more energy can be taken from him. (Earth-2) Harry correctly guesses Zoom is "fattening him up like a Christmas goose". Jay taught Barry about the Earth-2 metahumans and helped him beat them.''

I don't really need to clarify on this more. Reverse Flash wanted to speed up Barry to benefit from it, so it would make sense for Zoom to do the same.

''Jay has yellow lightning, as seen when he runs to face Geomancer. But it's never explained how the lightning's color is determined, so who says he couldn't change it? Maybe the speed at which a speedster runs determines the color of his streak. Or perhaps the Velocity-7 did something to change the color.''

Having blue lightning means you're degenerating, as seen with Eliza Harmon. Jay's lightning on the Velocity serum was probably yellow because it temporarily healed him.

''Jay knows the ins and outs of the speed cannon. And guess what, someone else does too. We see Zoom using it to enter our Earth. Do we ever see events involving Jay and Zoom simultaneously? (If you know of any, please inform me so I can check them out.)''

All the people that come to E-1 from E-2 are put there by Zoom. (Zoom sent Harry to E-1 to steal Barry's speed in exchange for Jesse's release. Harry couldn't have gone through the breach without help {I think}.) And the only time we see Jay and Zoom is when Zoom "kills" Jay (see below).

It would make sense for Zoom to be from Earth-2 [he didn't appear until after the breaches opened]''. And how does Jay know about Zoom's plan to eliminate all other speedsters in the multiverse? Zoom probably would have killed him if he'd found out the plan.''

Slip up perhaps? Or maybe Jay lied to throw off Team Flash and keep them from guessing his real plan (to steal Barry's speed).

''Jay says the Velocity-6 is killing him. Did he take it to become more powerful, but when it failed, he had to try something else to become stronger? He could take the essence of the Speed Force from another speedster, say... Barry Allen?''

I think this explains why he wants Barry's speed, but he might also want to get Barry out of the way, fearing Barry might get fast enough to defeat Zoom.

''Jay was adamant about not taking V-6 ever again. Even when Harry got shot, he said no. Then Caitlin said he should help, and voila, he did. He saved the guy who was aiding Zoom in taking Barry's speed. Also, when he took out the bullet, he phased through Harry's chest like Zoom (and Thawne) did when he killed Cisco.''

BTW, I think he got Caitlin to like him so he could build her trust and get her to try and perfect a Velocity serum, so that Jay could heal himself more easily.

''There's a flashback scene in which Jay sort of "escapes" from Zoom. But nobody was there to witness it. And who says all the breaches are in Central City?''

Not much more to say for this section.

One more thing: The show suggested Zoom could have used a speed mirage when he "killed" Jay Garrick, even though that would be a pretty crazy speed mirage, even for someone as fast as Zoom.

I'm optimistic that Zoom is Jay Garrick, which would mean the people making the Flash show are capable of being very clever. And if indeed Jarrick (as I'll start calling him) is Zoom, then I'll feel really good about myself, since I figured it out just before the episode "Welcome to Earth-2" aired (I came up with this theory the previous Sunday).

So, what think all of you?
