The Flash Season 3: 5 Ups And 3 Downs From 'Magenta'

1. Suiting Up

With Harry Wells finally giving his blessing for daughter Jesse to embrace her superspeed, she was quick to join Barry in helping to stop Magenta from destroying Central City’s hospital. That was nice enough to see, but the bigger reward came later upon Jesse’s return to S.T.A.R. Labs.

It was there that Jesse Wells fully became Jesse Quick as she was given her own superhero suit. Every good hero needs a good hero get-up, and this was that crowning moment for Jesse, with Cisco Ramon having put together a superhero outfit that very much paid homage to other speedsters whilst also having enough about it to mark it out as unique and purely for Jesse Quick.

We already know that we’ll be getting a better look at Jesse fully suited-up in next week’s episode, and it’s always nice to know that there are other speedsters out there. Now though, we can only hope that Jesse continues her superhero ways over on Earth-2 so that the focus of The Flash can get back on, well, The Flash where heroic speedsters are concerned.
