Growing up, Hunter was convicted of 23 counts of murder -- which, according to Cisco, is "some real Hannibal Lecter-type level" -- and was sent to the St. Berez Mental Asylum for the Criminally Insane.
Hunter was undergoing electroshock therapy when the Earth 2 particle accelerator exploded, thus creating the "unstoppable monster" known as Zoom.
The Flash airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
