Jesse Wells

Jesse Wells is a character of The Flash. Throughout the first half of Season 2, she is a prisoner of Zoom, a dangerous Speedster and serial killer from Earth-2. She later gets struck with anti-matter, making her become the metahuman speedster Jesse Quick (a nickname coined by her father). 
When Jay Garrick became a prisoner of the Speed Force, she left for Earth-3, becoming that Earth's Flash until Savitar was defeated. 
By Season 4, she was leading her own team, which included her father, but she kicked him off and he later went to help their friends on Earth-1. 
== Personality ==
Jesse Wells is a very kind and loving person. She used to get along great and was proud of her father's success until she found out the truth about the meta-humans and her father's involvement with them (she forgave him). Jesse also has this adventurous side that just wants to have fun and let go of all the problems. She's also very brave as she went to fight Savitar all alone, but this also counts as recklessness which may lead to her opponents catching her off-guard as seen when she first confronted Top. She has often shown stubbornness, going so far as to knock out H.R. Wells when he repeatedly expressed concern for her going after Savitar. Jesse does not like her father getting in the way of what she wants; she does not like when he interferes with her love life. Despite these traits, she still loves him.
== Powers and Abilities ==
=== Powers ===
* Speed Force connection/Meta-human physiology: Months after being hit by the second dark matter explosion which her father created, Jesse's DNA and physiology was altered, supercharging her cells and giving her access to the Speed Force. This augmentation enables her to properly use her powers.
** Electrokinesis: Jesse is able to generate yellow electricity from her body; when moving fast enough. Seemingly learned from Barry, Jesse is also able to channel that build-up of energy and hurl it as lightning bolts.
** Superhuman perception: While training with Barry, Jesse learned to take advantage of mental speed as much as her physical. Learning from experience that she was constantly read and adapt to the situation, Jesse is able to use her heightened thought processing to instantly react to incoming danger.
** Superhuman durability: While not invulnerable, Jesse's body has become highly resilient, allowing her to survive without injury when she tripped and tumbled uncontrollably across the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator during training. After being beaten down by super-strong gorillas from Gorilla City, she was quickly able to return to her feet.
** Superhuman speed: While only having her powers for a short time, Jesse is able to move well over Mach 2 in speed. With her constant motion, she is even able to run up and across vertical surfaces for long durations. Wally described her as being "almost as fast as Barry", who could move at over Mach 13 at that point.
*** Aerokinesis: By continuously running in a figure-eight fashion, Jesse was able to create wind funnel able to cushion a tank from crushing Central City Hospital
*** Interdimensional travel: By moving fast enough, Jesse can create a dimensional breach, enabling her to propel herself and others she brings with her through the anomaly to traverse to parallel dimensions. This notably allowed her to bring herself and her father to S.T.A.R. Labs speed cannon room on Earth-1 after only recently gaining her powers.
** Superhuman stamina: Jesse stamina is enhanced as much as her natural speed, allowing her to continue running for prolonged periods of time without fatigue. Her stamina is even greater than that of Jay Garrick's, possibly because of her youth. However, Jessie's speed is not as durable as Barry's, since he was able to stay in Flashtime longer than her.
** Bodily vibration: Eobard mistook Nora for Jesse when Barry and Nora phased into the Time Vault.
=== Abilities ===
* Genius-level intellect/Expert scientist: Jesse is constantly noted for her sharp mind. She was able to graduate high school three years early and study five majors in college. Jesse seemed to excel in all her courses at school, allowing the impression that she could miss several classes and still keep up. Even before becoming a speedster, Jesse proved a vital part to Team Flash like her father; very insightful and intuitive, she has an instinctual knack for perceiving the nature of a situation and as quickly best how to handle it. For example, Jesse was able to discern the nature of Griffin Grey's powers. Having learned from Barry Allen after becoming a speedster, Jesse can analyze every inch of an environment.
** Computer specialist: As a former member of S.T.A.R. Labs, Jesse has some technological skills of note, albeit not her main area of expertise.
* Skilled hand-to-hand combatant: After being trained by Barry, Jesse gained some rudimentary combat skills. She was able to knock down Rosa Dillon after catching the latter off-guard, and managed to defend herself against Savitar for some time.
== Trivia ==
* Jesse is very similar to Thea: both are young women who are treated as younger siblings to the protagonist (Barry acts both as a mentor and older brother figure for Jesse and Thea is Oliver's younger sister). Also, both girls become vigilantes modeled after Oliver and Barry in their third season respectively (Jesse becomes a speedster like Barry and Thea becomes an Archer just like Oliver). Both also take on a superhero alias that used to be their childhood nicknames (Jesse's father Harry called her Jesse quick and be his older brother Oliver used to call her 'Speedy) and begin dating a boy their age who were Barry and Oliver's protégés in the third season before ultimately ending in tragedy (Wally, who Jesse broke up with because of their long distance relationship literally being Worlds apart, and Roy, who abandoned Thea in the night).
