So, I finally dipped into wikipedia to figure out who all these people ARE. (Thing that I learned: Crisis of Infinite Earths was a continuity reset button, so for any given character, just jump down the page to "post-Crisis" because everything farther up the page is irrelevant. Well, irrelevant for V2 and V3 WW.)
It turns out that Zoom's backstory is HILARIOUS. He was the Flash's best friend, and somewhere along the way, he 1) got superpowers of his own, and 2) decided that the Flash hadn't experienced enough pain in his life, and that was holding him back from being a great superhero. That is, the ENTIRE REASON HE EXISTS nowadays is to threaten the Flash with manpain. FOR HIS OWN GOOD, HAHAHA. "Because of my deep and long friendship for you, I am going to kill your wife. It hurts you more than it hurts me, and that's how you can tell that I am selflessly thinking of YOU. " BWAHAHAHAHA, I cannot stop cracking up.
