His warped sense of heroism and villainy has led Zoom to continuously threaten not only those closest to the Flash but also countless heroes throughout the DC Universe. His speed doesn’t come from the Speed Force, but from altering his own relative time, slowing or speeding up the world around him, allowing him to run even faster than the Flash. Zoom is utterly unlike the Flash and other speedsters, both setting him apart and making him one of the most dangerous and challenging of Flash’s foes. Gaining the ability of perceived super-speed and adopting the name Zoom, Hunter dedicated his life to making sure people experienced their own personal tragedy in order to make them better heroes-starting with the Flash. Taking matters into his own hands, Hunter attempted to go back in time himself, leading to an accidental explosion, another tragedy-but one that made him more than what he was. He begged his friend the Flash to go back in time and prevent the attack from happening-and the Flash refused. Then, things took a turn for the truly dark after an attack by Gorilla Grodd left Hunter paralyzed. This tragedy inspired Hunter to study psychology and criminology, and to join the FBI but a miscalculation during a case led to the death of his father-in-law.

As a child, he discovered his father was a serial killer who also murdered Hunter's mother after she tried to stop him. Hunter Zolomon's life was riddled by brutal tragedies. But for those who haven't, one man makes it his duty to break them down in order to make them better, even if he has to force their tragedy himself: Zoom. Many heroes had these tragedies happen at a young age or in the early days of their careers. Those that haven't experienced this sort of loss will never become greater than they are.

Sometimes it takes a great tragedy to truly push a hero beyond their limits-to break them down and make them an even greater super hero.
