Who is the Man in the Iron Mask?

I'm going to make an educated guess and say that he's not Leonardo DiCaprio

 

Can't hate on the classics.

 

just got this from CBR's face book.

Is Jay bad news?




Is "Flash's" Man in the Iron Mask Harboring a Dark Secret About Jay Garrick?
"Escape from Earth-2" presented whole new set of characters to theorize about, including the mysterious masked man imprisoned by Zoom.

The assumption is Jay, but I missed the allusion to the classic story, so I'm glad you pointed it out. I hope they don't take too long in the reveal, mostly because it's already the number one internet theory so they might as well not waste people's time with teases.

 

He may have been ether been trying to tell them his name or say Jay was an impostor. We'll find out if and when barry returns there

 

well I don't suspect he's( fake Jay) zoom. I said fake Jay is an accomplice which is a partner and some one else. I doubt zoom would trust another crooked version of him self ether. that one is likely to betray him, if he spot's a weakness in zoom.


And I'm just hoping who ever it is that's the fake jay just took real jays looks in his partnership with zoom and zoom isn't zolomon(zolomon doesn't look like Jay at all) or a doppelganger of Jay.

I don't see it being henry from earth 2 it'll just be weird cause the motive won't make sense and it put earth version of his in weird place and you have to wonder if she's in on it? what will the motive be beyond midlife crisis for them both. lol and why raise a son Earth 2 barry who's a CSI to be a decent man and then turn psychotic?



The actor that played Eddie was really busy in the hit abc show quntico ,which is filmed in Montreal and though his character supposedly died in that show most recently that show is really heavy handed with the flash backs with is mystery there.

So they still might be using the actor that played Eddie in that show. it's possible he might show up. but it'll be weird.

 

If he is the real Jay and the Jay we've been seeing the whole time is fake, then why would the man in the iron mask being telling Barry his name is Jay, when he's never met Barry before?

God bless you! God bless everyone!

 

I'm pretty conviced that the guy in the mask is the real Jay, and fake Jay is actually The Rival. Or its Earth 1 Jay somehow.

 

I don't buy the idea that Zoom is Jay (for reasons I've already stated), but the notion that the "man in the mask" is * A * version of Jay from somewhere else is intriguing.

 

I would say its 90% certain the guy in the mask is the real(?) Jay Garrick. The bigger mystery is "So who is the guy we've been paling around with?"

 

Doing the "fake Jay" thing is a rehash of Season 1 Just as much as making Jay be Zoom is, so "no thank you".

 

Given his connection to Jay, I think he should henceforth be known as "Silent Bob" until proven otherwise.

 

This is easier to figure out than Morse Code. Morse Code requires memorizing an entire alphabet of combinations. If you haven't done that in advance of getting captured, you're SOL.

 

I thought initially the Man in the Iron Mask was either E-2 Eddie or E-2 Wally, but seeing his reaction to Jay, it's entirely possible he's the real Jay and the one Caitlin and co. have been working with is a fake. I don't see how fake!Jay could be Zoom, though, because they're clearly on two different worlds at the same time, so at best, fake!Jay is an accomplice of Zoom. I like the idea of him being The Rival, maybe.

 

I really like the idea of it being Eddie. This would make it easier to accept the continued existence of RF on Earth 1 (Eddie was drawn into the singularity and revived on Earth 2 by Zoom, making his way back to Earth 1 sometime in the future).

 

What if the guy in the mask is the real Jay, and the current Jay is actually Everyman from Earth 2? Zoom sent Earth 2 Everyman to Earth 1 to get close to Team Flash in hopes of getting velocity injections so that Zoom can take it for himself and become faster.

 

this was posed by CBR but there's the addition to velocity 6 and fake jay's knowledge of it and shown of use of in his cell so it's looking like it's Jay's arch enemy the Rival .

Again the only ones that knows the true details of velocity 6 -9 are the Rival and the quick family Jessie's dad johnny. and now that Jessie is earth dr.well's kid and they said he didn't invent it only recently tried to attempt to recreate it and Caitlin took over......
