User blog:Gracchus Mccarthe/Jay Garrick. Could he be Zoom?

Please note: This is speculation. I don't necessarily think Jay is Zoom, but it is possible.

To start with, Jay Garrick is NOT Zoom in the comics.

OK, Jay Garrick is without speed, he has red lightning, not blue, and he just couldn't be Zoom! He's a good guy!

So was Harrison Wells (Eobard Thawne), right? Nope. It was a clever giuse.

But Jay wants to "help" Barry get more powerful! So does Zoom. The stronger Barry is, the more energy can be taken from him. (Earth-2) Harry correctly guesses Zoom is "fattening him up like a Christmas goose". Jay taught Barry about the Earth-2 metahumans and helped him beat them.

Jay has red lightning, as seen when he runs to face Geomancer. But it's never explained how the lightning's color is determined, so who says he couldn't change it? Maybe the speed at which a speedster runs determines the color of his streak.

Jay knows the ins and outs of the speed cannon. And guess what, someone else does too. We see Zoom using it to enter our Earth. Do we ever see events involving Jay and Zoom simultaneously? (If you know of any, please inform me so I can check them out.)

It would make sense for Zoom to be from Earth-2. And how does Jay know about Zoom's plan to eliminate all other speedsters in the multiverse? Zoom probably would have killed him if he'd found out the plan.

Jay says the Velocity-6 is killing him. Did he take it to become more powerful, but when it failed, he had to try something else to become stronger? He could take the essence of the Speed Force from another speedster, say... Barry Allen?

He could easily pose as a hero while being a villain. That's just plain classic. And since he doesn't wear a mask, who would suspect him of being bad? And if Jay and Zoom have been seen fighting, who's to say it's not just a ruse similar to what Eobard Thawne did?

We'll see soon enough who Zoom is. I could see him being Jay, but I could just as easily see him being someone else. In the meantime, share your thoughts about this post.
