DC's upcoming Future State event will see the debut of a plethora of new heroes. One of the most exciting characters set to be introduced is the newest Flash, who will be a part of the future Justice League. The new, non-binary hero will debut in the DC’s Very Merry Multiverse before joining the big leagues with the JL.
DC Comics' upcoming Future State event will shift the DC Universe ahead in time following the events of Dark Nights: Death Metal. The two-month, line-wide event will see the debut of both new heroes and villains, including new takes on Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and more. One of the most exciting reveals was a mysterious new Flash, who had little details revealed about them.
Screen Rant has exclusively learned that the new Flash will debut in Ivan Cohen and Eleonora Carlini's DC’s Very Merry Multiverse. Jess Chambers aka Kid Quick will be part of Earth-11's Teen Justice team in an eight-page story before becoming the Flash in Future State: Justice League. The character is genderfluid (non-binary) and uses they/them pronouns. Chambers' aunt is longtime speedster Jesse Quick. Cohen said it was important to create a new, different version of the Flash readers haven't seen before.
I suggested that Kid Quick could be Earth-11's first genderfluid character, and once editors saw Eleonora Carlini's terrific take on the character design, there was suddenly a lot of interest in them for stories beyond the Merry Multiverse Special in December.
Chambers can be seen in a brand-new costume as The Flash in the Future State: Justice League series. They will be a part of a new League where the team members' identities are so secret, they even keep them from each other. It will be interesting to learn how Chambers ended up coming from Earth-11 to the mainstream, future DC Universe. Considering how the multiverse is in peril and multiple speedsters can hop dimensions, there are a handful of ways Chambers could join the main universe.
It's exciting to see DC introduce a new version of The Flash. Chambers will have to navigate their way through a new universe as they become a Justice League hero. Check out the solicit for DC’s Very Merry Multiverse below.
