Jesse Quick / Liberty Belle II (Jesse Belle Chambers) Appreciation (2019)

[MajorHoy]

I've already made Appreciation threads for her father (https://community.cbr.com/showthread...eciation-(2019) and her mother (https://community.cbr.com/showthread...n-Thread-(2019), so why not one for Jesse herself?


- from Flash Secret Files & Origins #1 (November 1997)

And from her first appearance in Justice Society of America #1 (August 1992),

Hoping Jesse makes her return to the DCU soon! Another great character screwed over by the new 52 and rebirth.

Jesse in Justice Society of America #7 and #8 in 1993:



Yes, that last look is soooooooo '90s embarrassing!

Didn't they both say the formula wrong in the above pic?

They said "94Z" but it should be "9YZ".

I know anyone can forget that long string, but not when you are trying to activate your powers!

Well, I don't think "they" necessarily said it wrong as much as whoever was responsible for typing / lettering confused a "Y" with the number "4" if the handwriting / font chosen doesn't close off the top of the "4".

Example:


And sometimes, when we read things, we don't always catch mistakes like that because in our minds we "see" what we expect to read, not what's actually written.

Yep, yep, yep that is all true. And probable what happened.

Or...the writer just didn't know the formula and mis-copied it.

Were they in the UK or something?

I don't know how common phone booths that looked like that were here in the United States.
(Heck, how common were full-sized phone booths here in the U.S. in 1996-1997?)

I don't remember. I read this issue a long time ago. But I remember it was hilarious and I love that cover.

Far and away loved her as Jessie Quick over Liberty Belle. I also liked her brief turn as The Flash-heir-apparent, even though I knew that wasn't going to stick...

Agreed 100%. She will always be Jesse Quick to me.

I honestly liked her more as Liberty Belle, I always felt that it was during that time that she truly matured. I hope that if she returns she takes the mantle again.

I just recently read Terminal Velocity and Dead Heat and she was great in that. Great progression for her and she was shown as a capable hero but with character and personality flaws. I wish they would have continued that.
