It’s not like the comics never set a precedent on Jay Garrick clones, after all. Almost like we were flat out being told way in advance…*īut what does this mean for Zoom and Jay? My best guess is that they are clones. *Just as a side note, I think it’s extremely interesting how the man tapped out “Zoom is” before Barry and Jesse knew that he was using a code, and afterwards tapped out the “Jay” name. Look at the facts: he knows an old POW code (probably taught to him by his father, a soldier in the “War of the Americas”), he freaked out after tapping out the name “Jay” to Barry in a previous episode and Barry began talking about the Jay Garrick we were familiar with, and, as numerous fans have pointed out, his complexion and hair cut seemed almost identitical to Jay Garrick.

I think it’s safe to say that he’s the real Jay Garrick. Let’s start with the man in the iron mask. So who is Jay Garrick/Zoom, and how does the man in the mask fit into all this? But why was he working for Zoom the whole time, especially when we know that he’s been the Flash on Earth-2? Was all of Zoom’s focus on Barry Allen’s speed this whole time? If so, then who’s the guy in the mask locked up in Zoom’s lair? He seemed pretty upset when he saw Garrick’s lifeless body dropped on the ground at the end of the episode. So Jay was playing them all the whole time? Makes sense after all a lot of what he did was incredibly suspicious and led a number of viewers (yours truly included) to question the man from the start.

Jay’s one charming, smooth guy and he was able to manipulate them in that way. They actually took precautions in the beginning - Barry locked him up right away - but all of them had that need for a center and for a new star to right their ships by. The irony, of course, is the one person who has been saying, ‘Don’t trust this guy! Don’t trust this guy! Don’t trust this guy!’ has been Harry, who’s the one that none of them trusted…the reason he was able to manipulate them was because he was playing on their emotions. What?! How did this work out? After confirming that Zoom is “Hunter Zolomon, a.k.a Jay Garrick,” the executive producer of the show, Andrew Kreisberg, was quoted as saying the following to Entertainment Weekly:
