Zoom appeared in the live-action Arrowverse television series The Flash, portrayed by Teddy Sears and voiced by Tony Todd.

[1] Created by Geoff Johns and Scott Kolins, Hunter Zolomon made his debut in The Flash: Secret Files & Origins #3 in November 2001.

[3] Hunter Zolomon is the son of a serial killer who is inspired to become a criminologist and psychologist after learning of his father's identity.

[6] Zoom is freed from imprisonment by Cheetah (Barbara Minerva), seeking to recruit him into the Secret Society of Super Villains.

After spiriting Ashley out of danger to Linda's home, Zoom returns to the battlefront to dispatch Captain Cold whom he believes is wasting the Flash's time.

He serves as a member of the Society's strike force, scarring Damage with super-speed punches and massacring the Freedom Fighters.

Damage, seeking revenge on Zoom, takes the villain hostage during a scuffle until being talked down by Liberty Belle.

[14] Inertia then uses his mentor's own timestream manipulation powers against him, unravelling Zoom's timeline and reverting him to the crippled, powerless Zolomon.

[15] Hunter makes a cameo in The Flash: Rebirth when he approaches the resurrected and imprisoned Thawne at Iron Heights Penitentiary, stating that they can help each other to be better.

The hooded man is then revealed to be Zolomon proclaiming that the only way to make the Flashes better heroes is to pit them in a war where they'll experience tragedy.

He can also create powerful sonic booms and electrical shockwaves by snapping his fingers, and is able to grant a form of "super-speed" to other beings by giving them the ability to control their relative timelines through himself; a connection that Zoom can shut down at will.

[13][14] Due to his slowed perception of time, Zolomon's strength and physical attributes have been heightened to superhuman levels, allowing him to effortlessly react to danger and be able to withstand punches from speedsters while sustaining no serious injuries.

[3][23][24][25] The temporal nature of Zoom's powers renders him unaffected by the usual problems and hindrances encountered by other speedsters, such as friction and perception when moving at heightened velocities.
