Zoom was created by the writers using three comic characters like base this are:

-Hunter Zolom "Zoom".

-Daniel West.

-Future Barry Allen.

Daniel West and Future Barry Allen had the same backstory, motivations and similar powers.

Both Daniel West and Future Barry Allen wanted to travel back in time to change some event or their own lifes, because in the case of West he almost kill his father and that destroy his relationship with his sister Iris. In the case of Barry he wanted to travel back in time to avoid the death of Wally West because he believe it was his fault.

Both Daniel West and Future Barry Allen need to kill their enemys to drain them of the Speed Force and in this way they could travel back in time, because they dont had enough power to travel back in time, they need to collect more power from another people.

Daniel West obtain his powers after an accident with a Speed Force Battery created by a 'scientific who later would help Barry and Iris to defeat him.' 

Hunter Zolomon and Daniel West have the same powers, Time Manipulation.

So i believe Zoom have the motivation of Daniel West and Future Barry Allen of travel back in time and also have the same way to gather power, killing his enemys to drain them of the speedforce he needs.

Also Eddie Thawne doesnt mean anything here, because he is the ancestor of Eobard Thawne and Hunter Zolomon and Thawne arent family. So Eddie Thawne isnt Zoom.

Zoom is somebody of the Earth-2 that Harrison Wells created and now he is gathering speedforce to travel back in time and save or change his own past, i also believe Zoom isnt a speedster but a time manipulator and he cant make the time around him move really slow and to the regular people it looks like he is running really fast.

But i believe we will see Zoom counterpart in Earth-1, it could be Patty Spitvot. Because Patty have the same origin story that Zoom, she moves from police department to Metahumans Task Force she meets the Flash, his father was kill by a metahuman.

She is the counterpart of Hunter Zolomon from Earth-2, because Hunter Zolomon is a FBI cop that moves to Jay Garrick city after a killer kills the father of his wife because of him, his wife divorced from he. Now Hunter Zolomon joins the Task Force where he meets the Flash and eventually he loose his legs.
