Day 3 - Forgotten #JusticeLeague
Jesse Quick
Forgotten Justice League members:
The cinematic debut of The Justice League is in 3 days, and to countdown let's take a look at members of the Justice League most have forgotten or never knew about.
The Jesse Quick that would serve on the Justice League was created Angelo Javier for the 1992 Justice Society of America, volume 2, issue 1. Jesse Quick was the secret hero identity of Jesse Chambers. Jesse was the daughter of the Earth-2 World War Two era heroes Johnny Quick (Johnny Chambers) and Liberty Belle (Elizabeth "Libby" Belle) and she would use both the "Jesse Quick" persona and the Liberty Belle persona.
In December 2006 she debuted as Liberty Belle. Jesse marries the second Hourman, Rick Tyler, and they work as a duo within the Justice Society, until the team splits into a smaller Justice Society and a new incarnation of the All-Stars.
In 2010, she joins the Justice League of America.
Jesse Quick appears in season 2 of the TV series The Flash, portrayed by Violett Beane. A native of Earth 2, Jesse Chambers Wells (nicknamed "Jesse Quick") is the daughter of Harrison Wells (Tom Cavanagh), and is held hostage by Hunter Zolomon/Zoom early in the season, forcing her father to travel to Earth-1 to team up with Barry Allen/The Flash (Grant Gustin) and his friends. Later in the season, they successfully rescue Jesse from Zoom, and during an attempt at recreating the Flash's original accident to restore his powers, she is bathed in dark matter energy. Barry is able to use the Speed Force to bring Jesse out of her coma, and she does not appear to manifest any special abilities. After Zoom is defeated in the season 2 finale, Jesse returns to Earth-2 alongside her father. She returned in season 3 as a speedster superhero with the name Jesse Quick. Her super speed awakened due to the delayed effects of the dark matter, and her father was hesitant about her desire to become a superhero. Eventually, he's convinced after Jesse aids Flash in defeating Magenta, gives Jesse a new costume, and decides that the two should stay in Earth-1 for a bit for Barry to teach Jesse more about her powers. Eventually, Jesse returns to her world with her father to help protect it, essentially becoming a Flash under the name "Jesse Quick", to restore hope after Zoom has tarnished the Flash name on Earth-2 when he masqueraded under the identity. Later, she returns to request help from Team Flash as her father had been captured by Grodd and was being held captive in Gorilla City. After he is rescued, Jesse decides to stay with Wally West on Earth-1. When Wally gets trapped in the Speed Force, Jesse goes after Savitar and finds out that he's mortal after she finds a weak spot in his armor and weakens him. She then finds out that Savitar has plans for her and leaves Earth-1 for Earth-3 to take over for Jay Garrick while he's trapped in the Speed Force until Jay is freed and Savitar is defeated. In season 4, revealed that Jesse returned to Earth-2 after Savitar's death, and she builds a team of superheroes to combat the remnants of Zoom's followers and other criminals. However, she also breaks up with Wally due to their preoccupations.
