Part of the reason season one of “The Flash” worked so well was because of its main antagonist The Reverse Flash. He proved to be an excellent unstoppable force for The Flash to face off with. Now season two finds its main antagonist with another evil speedster named Zoom. As proven by this week’s episode “Enter Zoom,” he’s on...
