What happens when to "old school" heroes, in this case Golden Age, WWII vets Johnny Quick and femme fatale "Liberty Belle" hook up. Why "Superhero Jr." of course.In this case the progeny, Jesse Chambers, first assumed her mothers super identity, becoming Liberty Belle II as you see here at the left, but soon she learned her fathers formula and became Jesse Quick.
Like any good female, Jesse had a thing for changing costumes. Above right is her third JQ costume which combines elements of the "Flashy" version you see here on the left and her classic as depicted below and the second which is just a lttle militaristic for my book.Remember when I discussed the female Kid Flash and said I thought they should let her hair grow? Well, as you can see here, they did it with Jesse when she went "Flash" and I think the results are spectacular. Nothing like all that hair blowing in the speedster breeze.
All the changes in Jesse point to a character that never really caught on. Not unlike her father, she has been best as a team player. The requiste speedster for any hero group. A lot of that has to do with a back story of a completely unstable personality. But there is a lot of potential there - I'd like to see her catch on.
