Icon and Val-Zod are cool, but they're never gonna have a seat at the table because they'll never get a fair shake in the DCU as power players for one reason or another. Wallace has a solid shot because he's already in the DCU landscape, with the added bonus of being part of the West-Allen dynasty, and he's a young character with an increasingly firm foundation that can be easily built upon into something great. the question is when will DC find someone who can or will focus on Wallace to finally capitalize on the character, which is a matter of time because it's becoming more and more clear that Wallace isn't going anywhere, anytime soon at least.
