I know it's more likely that he's an Earth-2 Doppelganger of someone, whether it be Barry, Henry, etc., but his costume and monstrous appearance reminded me a lot of theBlack Flash. For those who don't know, the Black Flash is essentially the Grim Reaper, but for speedsters. It seems unlikely, but there is something odd about people consistently calling him a demon, a monster, etc. And Jay said he had the face of death. It makes more sense for him to be an Earth-2 version of a character, and it's possible that he's both (An Earth-2 character who is also the Black Flash), but I'm definitely starting to think he's connected to the Black Flash. I think that Zoom is Earth 2's Barry Allen. That's my main theory as well, but his similarity to the Black Flash is evident. It's possible he is   Earth-2 Barry Allen, but with elements of Black Flash. Like on that Earth, Flash became one with the Speed Force, and is now a monster.
