Wally West decided early on to not keep a secret identity, so the world knew he was the Flash, but he still wore the mask and suit in honor of Barry Allen. Gorilla Grodd, another one of the Flash’s big time villains invaded Keystone City, and during the battle Hunter was left with a broken neck. He befriended Wally after getting a job in the police department. Hunter was then fired from the FBI, and then moved to Keystone city, home of Wally West, the Flash.

After his wife left him because of an incident involving her father being killed during a shootout with super villains, Hunter’s life was in a downward spiral. Hunter joined the FBI to help take down monsters like his father. His father killed his mother, and also was a menacing serial killer. Hunter, like many comic villains and heroes had a life filled with tragedy. Wally, before taking the Flash mantle, was Kid Flash, Barry’s sidekick and partner. In that series Barry sacrificed himself, along with Supergirl, to save the DC universe from the Anti Monitor. Wally is the third Flash to take up the mantle after Barry Allen died during the epic 1980’s 12 issue DC comic series Crisis on Infinite Earths. Hunter Zolomon was a close friend of Wally West. Reverse Flash was primarily Barry Allen’s Nemesis.

Zoom was primarily the main nemesis of Wally West Flash. I want to focus on the comic version of Zoom and all his terrifying glory! The TV show has further muddied these waters by switching names around, but that will be a write up for another day. But the most menacing of the bunch is Professor Zoom, not to be confused with the Reverse Flash. The Flash has one of the brightest and diverse group of villains out there, in my opinion, second only to Batman. I am proud to say that I am obsessed with all things Scarlett speedster! A big part of that is his rogues gallery. The Flash is also the one Comic book that I have faithfully bought each and every month, for as long as I can remember. I have fond memories of being a child, sneaking into the living room after my mom passed out on the couch with the TV on, in hopes of catching the 90’s Flash show staring John Wesley Shipp. The CW’s Flash was a dream come true for me.
