I think Zoom is "Hunter Solomon" from Earth-2, the Twin Brother of Jay Garrick that was raised by the Solomons. He finds out his Brother Jay is the Flash and ends up to become Zoom. He has somehow the ability to "steal" the Speed Energy from Speedsters to become a "wanna be Speedster" at himself. With his experiments he grow stronger and faster but as a side effect he became seriously ill. To heal him he needs the Speed of the Speedsters. He defeated Jay Garrick and held him captive as the Man with the Iron mask, so he could took his place as "Jay Garrick" to get closer to Barry Allen and use his Speed to cure him and make him become a "real Speedster" so he can took the Place of his Twin Brother forever.

In my theorey, everything fit together. Your and the other theorys let too many questions open like who is the man in the iron mask? Or who is Zoom? Why let the Showmakers Jay refer to "Hunter Solomon" in one Scene?

The Scenes with "Jay Garrick" and Caitlin give us hints to Zooms true identity, Zooms Origin Story and Zooms motivations.

Jay tells Caitlin on E-1 his Counterpart is named "Hunter Solomon" but is biological a "Garrick" just like him. He tells her that he has experimented on him to become faster and stronger (so he can as Zoom finally defeat his Brother the Flash) but this experiments make him seriously ill, so we have his motivations for going after Barrys Spee, he needs this to cure him.

So all the main questions are answered logical. the Man in the Iron Mask? Thats the real Jay Garrick. Zoom? Thats Jays evil Twin Hunter Solomon (also Hunter Solomon is the civillian Name of the Comic Zoom ^^)

Also its literally the same Story from Season One. We all knew the writers make this on Arrow already, the same Villain Plot several times.

The Scene in which Zoom and "Jay" are on two different earths at the same time is simply there to convince us that "Jay" can't be Zoom and can easily explained by the writers with some bull##it like "Speed Mirage", or "Time Travel" in later Episodes like the Scene in which the Reverse Flash beats up "Harrison Wells" in Season One.
