Barry has his work cut out for him chasing Zoom because the new enemy is faster than both Reverse-Flash and Flash.
While the particle accelerator allowed the show to bring on metahumans, the wormhole ushers in “characters from Earth 2,” executive producer Greg Berlanti previewed.
To that end, Season 2 will also intro the first scarlet speedster, Jay Garrick (to be played by Teddy Sears), in addition to Barry’s new love interest Patty Spivot (Shantel VanSanten) and Wally West.

Also revealed in the panel discussion:
* Season 2 kicks off “a few months later. We deal with the fallout of the cataclysm that happened at the end of the year,” Berlanti revealed.
* “We find Barry dealing with some extra tension,” star Grant Gustin previewed. “He knows that Eddie was ultimately the hero that stopped Wells in the finale and saved everybody. We find him struggling with his role as a hero. He’s a lone wolf, working alone.”
