DC Future State Gossip: Who Is That New Flash And What's Their Name?

It's future Flash time… DC Comics will be running a two-month event, Future State, looking at potential and possible futures for the DC Universe, their most prominent characters and their successors. Originally planned as the ongoing nature for these titles as 5G or Generation Five, it was truncated into two months instead. However, it is notable that some aspects will be continuing over from Future State into DC Infinite, from March 2021.

Bleeding Cool has heard a few things about Future State that may suggest what else is to come, including what's going down in Gotham. We may be talking a fair bit about that this week on this Future State link.

But we start with one of the versions of The Flash on the cover to Infinite Frontier #0.  CBR says: "The Flash of "Future State" is Jess Chambers, aka Kid Quick. Jess is a genderfluid non-binary speedster from Earth-11, and they'll appear after that event, too."

But maybe not, this Flash looks more like the speedster that in the future joins Suicide Squad and in the nearer future is an Australian member of the new Titans Academy. Just in case anyone wanted to do any of that comic book speculation that all the kids are talking about these days.

So, she will appear in Future State: Suicide Squad – but who is she? And who are the rest of the Suicide Squadders who look like the Justice League?  Bleeding Cool hears tell that they are the William Cobb version of Talon looking like Batman, Hypnotic Woman persuading everyone she's Wonder Woman, the mercreature Fisherman in the Aqua role, Australian former Teen Titans member Bolt, Clayface looking like Martian Manhunter and a grown-up Conner Kent Superman.

And, for Bolt, Teen Titans Academy is what might lead up to her membership of a future morally challenged Justice League.
