Only for a variety of reasons, that distinction has now become muddied. Think Jason Todd and Tim Drake becoming “the new Robin” or Jaime Reyes becoming “the new Blue Beetle.” The character we now know as Zoom was basically the “new Reverse-Flash” for a time. The answer isn’t without its intricacies, but in simplest terms it’s that Zoom, who made his first appearance in 2001, was meant to be something of a new take on the earlier Reverse-Flash, who first appeared in 1963 and was deceased in comic book continuity in 2001. So what gives? Why are these two baddies so hard to tell apart? In the comics, the Reverse-Flash is also commonly referred to as “Professor Zoom,” or simply “Zoom.” And in some comics, Eobard Thawne is the Reverse-Flash and in others he’s Zoom. And the likely confusion doesn’t end there.

Notice anything? Yes, those are two different characters-characters who look nothing alike on the Flash TV series. That’s because this is the Reverse-Flash… However, if you’ve ever tried looking up the two characters in the comics, you were probably pretty surprised and VERY confused.
While both characters are speedsters, on the show, they’re pretty different visually and motivationally. While many of Barry Allen’s popular comic book adversaries have already appeared on The Flash, his biggest challenges have been at the hands of two villains-the Reverse-Flash and Zoom.
