And I think he was a very strong villain at first. They also just showed us who he was early on. This villain showed us that the writers do listen to fans and they got away from the big bad being yet another speedster. That brings us to the Thinker, aka Clifford DeVoe ( Neil Sandilands and others). But Zoom was too similar to Reverse-Flash. What made this season good was the introduction of Earth-2, the second Harrison Wells, etc. He was more of a bogeyman than a character as we got to know Jay Garrick ( Teddy Sears) only to have it revealed that he's not Garrick at all, he's Hunter Zolomon and like Thawne, he is responsible for a death of one of Barry's parents, this time Henry Allen ( John Wesley Shipp), but we get to keep Shipp around as he is revealed to be the Jay Garrick from Earth-2. Season 2 brought Zoom, who in a lot of ways was just another Reverse-Flash without the anticipation build up.
Watching him do evil things and the anticipation of knowing he was evil and waiting for the team to find out made the character great to watch. But this Wells had been replaced by Eobard Thawne ( Matt Letscher), so we never really get to met the real Wells.
But he was also a mentor for Barry Allen ( Grant Gustin) as well as for Cisco ( Carlos Valdes) and Caitlin ( Danielle Panabaker). In season 1 there was a bit of a bait and switch as we were introduced to Harrison Wells ( Tom Cavanagh), and we learned early on that he was the Reverse-Flash and responsible for killing Nora Allen.
