I fail to see how things like Jesse having a speedster mom would work with this universe's logic.

He still wanted to make Barry into who he believes could be the fastest man alive by killing his loved ones.

Let's see... Barry saves his mom. He runs into a world where Iris doesn't love him. Thawne taunts him on how it's his fault. He tries to help an alcoholic father. An iconic hero dies from his actions. He runs back and the entire timeline has been changed. Characters change alignments and gain new abilities. Characters are deleted from continuity. The only thing that isn't the same is that the Justice League are not involved and the other Earths are not affected by Flashpoint.

So i guess that makes other earth characters like Jay Garrick non-canon?

Well they kinda did the Earth-3 Deathstorm good. They couldn't do a corpse thing though cause the Black Lanterns have not been introduced yet. They could've easily said that Jesse's mom was a speedster that Zoom killed.

Fastest man alive isn't really a hero designation, it is just a first place title.

Earth-3 Deathstorm was a guy fused with a corpse, not two guys fused while one is evil and suppressing the other. They don't have to do the Black Lantern storyline for that specific Deathstorm.
