Guess what, Xandermcc? In the comics, Hunter Zolomon aka Third Reverse-Flash aka Second Zoom, was the one who technically had no super speed, making his abilities much more bizarre and interesting.

Xandermcc wrote: But those characters are connected in the comics. Hunter and Eobard aren't. Yeah, which is why Hunter's defining monologue from the comics is him talking about how he took his name and colors from Eobard Thawne, Professor Zoom, to continue his mission as the greatest opponent to the Flash. Except, while Thawne did it for the kicks, Hunter considered himself altruistic, wanting to shape Wally into a better hero.

Have you even read the "Blitz" arc, which was Hunter's first appearance in the form of a Reverse-Flash? His legacy from the original Zoom is a major part of it. So what? If every character was accurate to the comics then we would have a pretty boring show where Wikipedia can tell us the plot of the next episode by reading the comic it is copying.
