We can? I thought we could assume that his backstory was the one Zolomon used for himself while he was stealing Jay's identity, presumably also stealing his backstory. And you don't need a dark matter wave to become a speedster, just look at Flashpoint Wally, normal Wally, and Trajectory. We could've had something with the formula like in the comics.

That's obvious. Zoom was making Barry angrier and more frustrated in order to make him more ruthless and faster. Again, this is a complete departure from the comic book Zoom.

I didn't mean that Kid Flash isn't iconic, I meant that he didn't die. He just got hurt and wasn't healing quickly for some reason. Caitlin stopped turning evil, and Cisco was already becoming a hero before. If anything, Flashpoint only delayed his path to heroism by adding his dead brother. She still got with him after he went after her. They could've easily had a comics-accurate Hunter Zolomon of Earth-1 in place of the Rival, who's supposed to be Jay's enemy. You're the one that said TV Flashpoint was like comics Flashpoint...

I meant that the 1990 show's earth is non-canon to the comic books. This also holds true for Earth 2 on the show. And every other Earth on the show.

It could've worked and looked cooler. Martin was only trapped inside by Ronnie, not dead.
