The lost-his-speed-trapped-on-Earth-1-and-also-dead Jay Garrick, you ask? Well, sort of. We know the actor who plays Thawne, Rick Cosnett, is on another series right now, but the use of a costume throughout the season and a transformed voice mean that Cosnett would only have to make a brief guest appearance to fulfill the role.Īs for the man in the iron mask on Earth 2, here’s another theory: Jay Garrick. Holding back any details on his character might allow the writers to create a compelling narrative for Thawne’s transformation into Zoom. It’s uncertain if Thawne is actually a detective at all on Earth 2, whether he harbors feelings for Earth 2 Iris, or if he sees Earth 2 Barry as a competitor. Joe West isn’t his partner, and neither is Iris – nor is she his girlfriend, for that matter. We haven’t seen any details of Thawne’s life on Earth 2, but we know it must be different.


Who does that leave? Our best guess is Earth 2 Eddie Thawne, who on Earth 1 was the ancestor of Season 1 villain Eobard Thawne.
