"He took a lot of things that were mine, except for that. That's, um...That's all him."
"He said it was his father's from the war." - —Joe West, Jay Garrick and Iris West[src]
The Flash suit was the protective suit Hunter Zolomon used in his identity as "The Flash" of Earth-2.
History[]
Unlike the suits that Barry Allen on Earth-1 and Jay Garrick on Earth-3 wear, Hunter's suit was based off the soldiers' uniforms of Earth-2. The suit consists of a dark red jacket with a gold outline of a lightning bolt in the center of it, blue pants, brown gloves, brown boots and a silver helmet with gold wings, which belonged to his father during the War of the Americas.[1] Presumably created sometime after capturing and "borrowing" the Flash of Earth-3's name and alter ego, Hunter's suit is also a close imitation to his captive's suit albeit with darker colors.
Hunter wore the suit when he confronted Harrison Wells, and later when he teamed up with the Flash on Earth-1. He originally thought that he has lost the helmet when he traveled to Earth-1, only for Barry and Caitlin Snow to present it to him.[2] The helmet remained on Earth-1 as Team Flash's memorial after the death of Hunter's time remnant, and it was later used for Cisco Ramon to vibe Zoom's identity. It's unknown what happened to the rest of his suit after Hunter killed his time remnant that was wearing it. However, the helmet was later taken and worn by the Flash of Earth-3, as an addition to his own costume in order for it to serve its original hope-inspiring purpose, despite knowing it's history.[3]
Capabilities[]
Functions[]

Trivia[]
- Hunter Zolomon's costume is a combination of Jay Garrick's classic costume in the DC comics and The Rival due to the darker colors.
- The lightning bolt only being an outline could be a reference to the comic event Zero Hour, in which Jay Garrick took his emblem off and only the outline was visible.
