The Top 10 Most Suspenseful Moments From ‘Arrow’ & ‘The Flash’

4. Zoom Kills Henry Allen

Barry truly cannot catch a break. First, Reverse-Flash kills his mother, Nora, and frames his father. Then in season two, Zoom does away with Barry’s father, Henry. Actually, come to think of it, Henry Allen probably catches less breaks than Barry, as less than a year after spending years in jail for a crime he did not commit he is murdered by Zoom. Barry just came down off of meeting the physical manifestation of the speedforce, making him feel invincible – which also just so happened to be the episode’s title. He was sure that after winning the speedforce’s “game” to get his speed back he could do anything. That’s why Henry’s death was such a blow. Our hero is finally confident and it is all pulled away from him in an instant.

When Zoom first took Henry, it was unclear what he was going to do with him. Then it all became clear as day when he took Henry to Barry’s childhood home in the same room where Eobard Thawne had killed his mother years before. Before Barry could even plead with Hunter Zoloman, Zoom killed Henry in cold blood by doing the old speedster trick of putting his vibrating hand through him. Make as many jokes about Barry screwing with the timeline as you want, but if both of my parents were killed in the same room by two different people, I’d want to go back in time and change it all also.
