That's a pretty good call actually. I hadn't considered him. Though I don't know why Zoom would be so obsessed with him, let alone keeping him masked. It's the mask bit that really doesn't make any sense in general.
Spoilers The Flash - Season 2
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
As a warning?
Or his own name?
I thought they said that Barry's speed existed at a genetic level in Season 1, so I'm trying to figure out why it hasn't come back. I kind of hate the idea that his speed can be "stolen".
Especially by a treadmill.
Mark Waid, writer of The Flash comic and fan, was pissed on Twitter with the reveal that Jay Garrick was really Zoom. Previous to this he has been a big supporter of the show. But he threatened to stop watching due to how they have handled Jay. This got executive producer Greg Berlanti's attention. Saying they would never turn Jay into a bad guy. To keep watching. More information will be revealed. http://zap2it.com/2016/04/the-flash-greg-berlanti-says-jay-garrick-isnt-zoom/
I think this totally is a signal on who the man in the iron mask is.
Later Waid apologized and said he overreacted too soon. But I agree that these producers have played this bait and switch thing with too many characters. Deathstroke, Black Canary, Jay Garrick all appeared as other characters before the real ones showed up. Probably some more I have forgotten.

They already did explain the code -- that's how they cracked it in the first place. It's a tap code based on a square array, a kind used by prisoners of war. It's based on a 5x5 grid of letters, 25 letters in all (the example on Wikipedia combines C and K), and you specify a letter by tapping out its row and column. So 2 taps followed by 5 taps was J, 1-1 was A, and 5-4 was Y.
The identity of the masked man will blow your mind? Is that a confirmation it's the creature from TNG: Conspiracy?
We do know, that Eobard Thawne was able to recreate the incident with identical results, so i would guess that the abilities generated are dependant of the external circumstances and that genetics only play a minor part in it, if at all.
... So there it is. The man in the iron mask is Calvin, played by Leonardo DiCaprio.
(Just wait 'til you see the CG Hobbes!)

I was one of the people you talk about, and my asking about why people are watching the show was because the people who don't like the show have been watching since the beginning, and after every episode they have done nothing but complain about how horrible the show is. I can understand if you like a show and it goes downhill, like Flash is, but what baffled me was the fact that these people hated the show pretty much from the moment it started, never liked anything about it, and yet they still watched every episode. Personally, if I don't like the first one or two episodes of a show, I will just stop watching,
I don't mind people making critisizms, it was the fact that the same people were making pretty much the same complaints week after week, after week after week.
Exactly.
Personally, I want to read discussions that are nuanced--that deal with both the positives and negatives of the show, movie, book or whatever. I enjoy discussing with people who have opposing opinions to mine as it opens new avenues of thought for me about the material. It's been a long time since I was 14 years old and I don't need to surround myself with people who only gush or hate and expect others to feel the same way.
My bet is that there's another iron mask under the iron mask.
The man in the iron mask might be one of the Delfonics:
Barry became the Flash because he was hit with dark matter at the same time a lighting bolt hit him. That changes his dna/genes something, and he can now run fast, heal fast,throw lighting etc. To take his powers away using a Syringe somehow fixes his dna/genes makes him human again and no longer a meta.
So 1. couldnt they in theory help other meta's if it was really taken the dark matter out or what they did to take Barry's speed.
2. If the Flash was just lighting and dark matter, couldnt the government or some other bad group just put 10 people in a room, hit them with dark matter and lighting and make 10 flashes?

In one of the DC animated features: Justice League The Flashpoint Paradox - Barry gets Batman to help recreate the accident that gave Barry his powers but its was not that easy.
The Dominion (aliens) tried similar experiment in the Invasion crossover event back in the late 80's. They were dismayed at the result. Turns out something like %30 percent of the humans subjected to "stress" exhibited the metagene. Much higher than they had anticipated. (This is also when Snapper Carr gained his teleporting power)
They wanted to farm metahumans to use as a slave army of super soldiers to conquer the galaxy.
Metagenes seem to activate like tribbles breed almost.
No one can build that many slave pens, or lock down 3/4's of a billion dudes (and dudettes) with the power of Superman or worse.

Didn't it... err... not work? To put it mildly?
Thomas Wayne belted Barry into an Electric Chair and turned on the juice.
It didn't work the first time.
Burnt to a charred smoking crisp.
5 minutes later, half his face melted, Barry squeals "Again! Do it again!"
