Jess Chambers -- DC's genderfluid, non-binary Flash from Earth-11 -- is making their return in a new Teen Justice series kicking off this summer.
DC Comics announced that its Future State Flash will join the rest of the young heroes of Earth-11 in a new Multiversity: Teen Justice series by Ivan Cohen, Danny Lore, Marco Failla and Enrica Eren Angiolini. The plot synopsis for the six-issue series reads, "The secrets of Earth-11's newest heroes and villains unfold in DC's most exciting new team title! And what role will the mysterious Raven — the brooding hero who has refused to join the team in the past — play in the brand-new series?"
Chambers made their debut in a short story in DC's Merry Multiverse #1 called "To Stop the Star-Conqueress!" by Cohen, Eleonora Carlini, Ulises Arreola and Becca Carey. The story, published in 2020, saw Chambers join a team of multiversal, gender-swapped superheroes from Earth-11 called Teen Justice. Other members who appeared on the team in DC's Very Merry Multiverse include Aquagirl (Jacqui Hyde), Supergirl (Laurel Kent), Robin (Talia Kane), Donald Troy and Klarienne the Witch Girl.
Within the issue, Chambers revealed that they might just have the power to potentially be the fastest Flash ever, especially given that Jesse Quick is their aunt. DC later announced that Kid Quick would become the Flash for the new Future State Justice League.
Chamber's presence on the Justice League makes them the first non-binary, genderfluid superheroes to take on such a significant role within the DC Universe. "Kid Quick being chosen for all the speed characters in the multiverse to be the Flash in Future State: Justice League was an incredible surprise," Cohen previously told CBR. "We didn't work up a super-elaborate character bible for the heroes in this story, partly because we had no idea how quickly -- if at all -- any of them would be showing up in other comics, and also because we wanted to leave room so other creators could use the characters in ways that would serve their stories. Setting down a lot of specific rules beyond what mattered for the Very Merry Multiverse story could make it less likely these characters would have a life beyond the first story. We left a lot of territory for other writers and artists to explore and invent, starting in Future State: Justice League."
Multiversity: Teen Justice comes from Ivan Cohen, Danny Lore, Marco Failla and Enrica Eren Angiolini, with covers by Robbi Rodriguez (main), Stephanie Hans (open-to-order variant), Bengal (1:25 variant) and Failla (1:50 variant). The first issue goes on sale June 7.
