CARVING A PATH THROUGH KEYSTONE AND CENTRAL CITY: Improved Movement: Ignores Elevated Terrain, Ignores Hindering Terrain A COSMIC BLUR: Super Zoom can use Impervious and Shape Change. TRAGEDY WILL MAKE YOU BETTER: : When he attacks an opposing character with the lowest point value on that character's force, modify Zoom's attack and damage values by +1. When he attacks an opposing character with the highest point value on that character's force, Zoom can use Precision Strike. I'M IN ALL THE TIMELINES SIMULTANEOUSLY:: At the beginning of your turn, remove all Timeline tokens from this card, roll a d6, and place a number of Timeline tokens on this card equal to half the result. Remove a Timeline token from Zoom's card and he can immediately use Probability Control, even if he has done so already this turn.
(It's basically fl047 Zoom with +2 to all stats, Power Cosmic, and Impervious)
Here's the 400 point team you can construct with Zoom (from the Flash set) that turns him into this beast by turn 3 without any tactics whatsoever (except for one special object).
Short explanation:
Recorder chooses Zoom to benefit from his trait, Mandroid tk's telephone booth adjacent to starting area, use 2 Blind Als to Booby trap and telephone booth Recorder down to his last click; the third Blind Al knocks Layla Miller to click 3 and all this is by turn 2; Recorder activates Godkiller, Layla resurrects him, next turn Recorder Godkillers a second time, giving Zoom +2 to all stats, Impervious, Power Cosmic, and making him a colossal on your third turn.
So how viable is this team? Is it worth the 3 turns and the 396 points?
I like the concept quite a bit. Unless you need Mandroid for more than the phonebooth TK, you could save yourself some points by taking out Mandroid and assigning the Double-Time feat to Recorder #451.

Double-Time Cost: 5 points Prerequisites: Transporter or (foot speed)
Choose a character. When the character is not adjacent to an opposing character and is given a move action it may move up to double its unmodified speed value; it may not make attacks during this move action. At the end of the move if the character is not a transporter, deal it 1 pushing damage that ignores willpower and team abilities
The telephone booth is a special object, hence it's tactics. Just sayin'.
I think Zoom is still vulnerable to anyone with Outsiders, high mobility, and good stats, such as Koriand'r. She's one of the best anti-speedster pieces around. And if she's backed up by a solid team, then the Super Zoom is in trouble, especially if your opponent is playing aggressively.
In fact, since she's not unique, I'd say a team of 4x Koriand'r would be very tough to handle. You might not even survive to round three. Our maybe 3x Koriand'r and Cosmic Boy (slosh001). Fuggedaboudit.
