History Characters / ArrowverseTeamFlash

* CatchPhrase: "I smell a mystery!" complete with his trademark nose-wiggle.

* ContainTheKaboom: In "The Elongated Knight Rises" he deals with one of Trickster's bombs by wrapping his torso in it, having his elastic body completely insulating the explosion from everyone else.

* DitzyGenius: He's a brilliant PrivateInvestigator... and that's about it. When it comes to science he doesn't know the first thing about what his teammates are talking about and plays Dr. Watson even more than Joe does. Though this changes as of Season Five where he is a DumbassNoMore and becomes far more competent at his job, as it was him who discovered Thawne's real plan.

* DumbassNoMore: As of Season 5 he stops being PluckyComicRelief DumbMuscle and instead becomes more serious and a competent investigator.

* FormerlyFit: After his banishment from the police he gains a beer belly. He later temporarily restores his fatness while dressing up as Santa Claus.

** Likewise he proves many times he is a capable PI, such as investigating and turning up evidence that Caitlin's late father [[NotQuiteDead just might be alive,]] after all.

* {{Hypocrite}}: In "Run, Iris, Run" he berates Iris for allegedly not going to risk her life, but during all the episode he kept hidden in S.T.A.R. Labs and shamelessly says he doesn't care at all about the remaining Bus metahumans.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Plays the DirtyCop and is at first OnlyInItForTheMoney, but is still willing to do the right thing if given sufficient motivation. In the end he does have the ability to empathize and show compassion to others, he just never was in a position where he had to. Come season 5 the first half no longer applies.

* NiceGuy: After a seasons worth of CharacterDevelopment, come season 5 the guy may still have his quirks, but overall is a friendly, supportive member of TheTeam who wouldn't hesitate to lay down his life to protect them or any other innocent in danger.

* NoSocialSkills: As he point out to Cisco, it's been so long since he last had friends, he still rather rusty at being one.

** In the same vein he shows a lot of interest in Killer Frost.

* SpotlightStealingSquad: He gets a ''lot'' of focus in Season 4, mainly because as a bus meta [=DeVoe=] has some plan for him and Barry spends a lot time training him as his new partner ... which often involves a lot of convincing for him to be a hero. In fact he's get a lot more focus than the other members of Team Flash, who don't really have any meaningful arcs: Barry has matured considerably and is no longer as impulsive as he once was, Iris gave up journalism to be the leader of Team Flash, Joe's detective work takes place offscreen, Caitlin is more at less at peace with Killer Frost, and Cisco's main concern is his relationship with Gypsy. So Ralph effectively gets all the attention.
* StatingTheSimpleSolution: In "Subject 9" when asked by Cisco on how to track Izzy Bowin, Ralph suggests checking her website. Cisco scoffs confident they had already checked her website, only to receive {{Blank Stare}}s around the room informing him that ''no one'' had checked her website.

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: In his debut episode, he and Barry prove that time does ''not'' heal all wounds. They need each other, but their shameless hatred of one another proves to be a detriment; they even come to blows at one point, and the only reason it didn't turn into a full-out fight is because Barry's fist was absorbed by Ralph's face. At the end of the episode they come to enough of an understanding that Ralph agrees to Barry's tutelage -- right after bluntly admitting that he still hates him right to his face.

* TeamDad: He takes over from his [[DeadPersonImpersonation dead Earth-1 counterpart's imposter]], and while a lot more rude than he is, he is able to play the mature voice of reason while giving the team support through his scientific genius. He even gives Barry a talk on why DrugsAreBad. His relationship with fellow members of Team Flash is far healthier than the one with his daughter.

* TokenEvilTeammate: He's a criminal who is a sometimes ally to the heroes, and later a fulltime member of Team Flash.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: His "Chillblaine" outfit has him forgoe a shirt.

[[caption-width-right:350: ''I suppose that's the monster that I'm running from now: just feeling powerless.'']]

!!! '''Species:''' Human
!!! '''Known Aliases:''' (Doctor) Alchemy
!!! '''Played By:''' Creator/TomFelton, Creator/TobinBell (voice of Alchemy)
!!! '''First Appearance:''' "[[Recap/TheFlash2014S3E2Paradox Paradox]]" (''The Flash'' 3x2)
!!! '''Appearances:''' ''Series/{{The Flash|2014}}''

Introduced right after Barry Allen undoes the "Flashpoint" timeline. A crime-scene investigator at the Central City Police Department and colleague of Barry's, he investigates all of the metahuman related crimes, and is quite adamant that Barry not be allowed near them. Later revealed to be "Alchemy", the unwilling minion of the evil speedster Savitar, who turned him into a mysterious cult leader wielding a strange stone with the ability to turn other humans into meta-humans.

* ActorAllusion: Julian is excited by Barry visiting Gorilla City and asks if he's "going to the [[Film/RiseOfThePlanetOfTheApes Planet of the Empire]]."
* AdaptationalHeroism: This Alchemy was BrainwashedAndCrazy and ended up as an UnwittingPawn to the real villain. He even pulls a HeelFaceTurn and joins the heroes.
* AdaptationNameChange: None of the three incarnations of Doctor Alchemy from the comics were named Julian Albert, though his surname serves as a MythologyGag to the first holder of the title, ''Albert'' Desmond. Ultimately played with, as in a case of FreezeFrameBonus, one can see his full name given as Julian Albert Desmond on an academic paper he wrote some years prior to Season Three.
* AdaptationOriginConnection: In the comics, Dr. Alchemy had no connection with Savitar, and most certainly didn't serve as his [[TheDragon underling]].
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Instead of transmuting substances like in the comics, his Philosopher's Stone can give people the powers they had in the Flashpoint timeline and fire energy blasts.
* AdaptationalWimp: In the comics, Alchemy's one of the few Rogues that Flash can rarely fight directly. Here, he's forced to rely on underlings and is revealed to be [[TheDragon a servant]] to a [[BigBad greater evil]].
* AndStarring: Always billed with "Special Guest Star".
* TheAtoner: It seems at least part of the reason he takes up Caitlin's offer to join Team Flash in the back half of season 3 is to try and make up for what he feels responsible for doing as Dr. Alchemy, despite them constantly reminding him that [[JekyllAndHyde Alchemy]] ''[[DemonicPossession isn't]]'' [[MeatPuppet him]].
* BadassLongcoat: His Alchemy costume is a long dark coat/cloak that conceals his appearance and makes him all the more ominous.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Julian really wanted to be a metahuman, but being Savitar's Dragon probably isn't what he had in mind.
* BlackCloak: Dark green, actually, but Alchemy wears one.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: He's only Alchemy because of Savitar's corruption. He wasn't even aware of it until Barry got him to connect the dots with the blackouts he'd been having since finding the Philosopher's Stone.
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: At first it seemed he was an original character, but the FreezeFrameBonus in "The Present" reveals his full name is Julian Albert ''Desmond''. Albert Desmond was the first Doctor Alchemy's real name.
* CastingGag: Looks like [[Creator/TomFelton Draco Malfoy]] is still TheRival to [[Literature/HarryPotter a hero associated with a lightning bolt scar]] and has his debut appearance featuring [[Film/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone a Philosopher's Stone]].
* CelebrityParadox:
** The ''Film/HarryPotter'' film series has been acknowledged a few times to exist in the Series/{{Arrowverse}}. His actor plays Draco Malfoy, one of the main characters there.
** The ''Franchise/PlanetOfTheApes'' franchise is always mentioned in Grodd related episodes. His actor plays an antagonist in ''Film/RiseOfThePlanetOfTheApes''.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Played with. Although Cisco calls him Dr. Alchemy, [[InsistentTerminology he only refers to himself as Alchemy.]]
* CompositeCharacter: He has elements from all three users of the "Dr. Alchemy" identity in the comics; namely, Albert Desmond's scientific background (and name), Curtis Engstrom's connections with S.T.A.R Labs, and Alexander Petrov's career in a crime lab.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Alchemy is the first major antagonist in ''The Flash'' who isn't a speedster, nor did he apparently get his powers from any dark matter. He also has no interest in the Flash or his speed, seeing him only as a threat to be destroyed, and does not know the Flash's real name. This continues on once he's revealed to be Julian Albert, as he wasn't the main villain pretending to be someone close to Barry, but was actually [[BrainwashedAndCrazy under the control]] of the real BigBad Savitar. He's also the only major antagonist on Team Flash who is a former villain rather than the inverse, and doesn't mentor Barry like Thawne and "Jay" did.
** He initially saw Caitlin as nothing more than another dangerous metahuman who needed to be locked away but over time began to warm up to her in contrast to how Zoom claimed to love her and she may have even been something of a MoralityChain for him but in the end [[{{Yandere}} he still tried to kill her.]]
* {{Cult}}: Alchemy leads one that worships Savitar.
* DarkIsEvil: As Alchemy, he wears a black and dark green outfit and is incredibly sinister.
* DeadpanSnarker: Julian has this down to an art, and even in his Alchemy persona, he has his moments. When Magenta shows up in his lair complaining that he didn't help her silence Frankie's voice in her head, he dryly comments that he granted her powers from the other timeline, but he never said he would silence her SplitPersonality.
* DecoyAntagonist: {{Played with}}. He was made to look like the BigBad of the season, but turns out he's only TheDragon to the real villain.....but then again, the "Alchemy" persona ''is'' Savitar speaking through Julian.
* DemonicPossession: Alchemy appears to have the ability to possess potential Flashpoint targets, with victims hearing his voice in their mind and seeing his name scratched on a nearby glass surface. Later it's revealed that Alchemy himself is possessed by Savitar, with his real identity being Julian Albert, who has no recollection of what happens when Savitar takes over.
* DidNotGetTheGirl: He fell in love with Caitlin when he worked with Team Flash, but she decided to do a journey to find herself and he transferred to London.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: For Season 3, as the defeat of Alchemy wasn't the end, it was only the beginning as Team Flash now has to deal with Savitar.
* TheDragon: For Savitar. As Dr. Alchemy, he does most of the [[ManipulativeBastard up-front manipulation]] and control over the {{Cult}}, whereas Savitar is more hands-on. Subverted in that "Alchemy" is just Savitar speaking through him, and Julian himself is completely unaware that it's happening. Cisco even calls him "the Big Bad's little bad".
* EvilSoundsRaspy: In his Alchemy persona, as expected from [[Franchise/{{Saw}} Jigsaw]]. It's actually just Savitar talking through him.
* {{Expy}}: A MalevolentMaskedMan who leads a {{cult}} dedicated to giving superpowers to individuals, who is under the command of the real BigBad. Sounds a lot like Brother Blood from ''Series/{{Arrow}}''.
* FireForgedFriends: He initially dislikes Barry and the feeling is very mutual, but after it's revealed that Alchemy is actually Savitar using Julian as a mouthpiece without Julian's knowledge, he comes to trust Barry a bit more and even goes out of his way to get Barry's job back after previously forcing Barry to resign.
** Not to mention the fact that he helped out Caitlin when her RestrainingBolt bracelets began to stop working, causing her powers to return. Initially, he turns her away because he ''investigates'' metas and doesn't ''cure'' them; by the end of the same episode, he reveals at Barry's housewarming that he had a change of heart sometime during the episode, and worked with Cisco to develop a snowflake-shaped PowerNullifier necklace rechargeable by sunlight.
* GoodIsNotNice: He's technically one of the good guys when he's not being Alchemy, but he's a major jerk who condescends to everybody, especially Barry.
* HandBlast: Alchemy holds the Philosopher's Stone in his palm to fire concussive energy beams that give even the Flash a hard time.
* HeelRealization: Has one in "Monster". The VillainOfTheWeek turns out to be hologram controlled by a kid, who he every nearly shoots. Then, the Flash (who Julian had previously antagonized like all metahumans) manages to keep Julian from performing an act he would regret. After which, he warms up to Barry, saying that since he was wrong about the Flash, he may have been wrong about Barry too.
* {{Hypocrite}}:
** In his earlier appearances he was adamant that Barry should stick to rules, but is okay with blackmailing Barry in "Killer Frost". He forces Barry to resign from the CCPD to shut up about Caitlin as Killer Frost, but with the rationale that Barry's morals are off.
** A minor subversion. He gives the impression of being hypocritical with his initial attitude to Killer Frost, but he does feel guilt for what Alchemy did in his body.
** For all his "holier than thou" ramblings on Barry's selfishness, when Caitlin is dying, he goes against her wishes, removing her suppressors, and turns her into the dangerous Killer Frost.
* IconicSequelCharacter: Doesn't appear in the Series/{{Arrowverse}} until its fifth year.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: The real reason he hates metahumans so much is because he's angry that most of them use their powers to commit crimes, and wishes he could have them to make the world a better place. DramaticIrony comes into play here.
* InsistentTerminology: While he always calls himself just "Alchemy", Cisco insists on calling him "''Doctor'' Alchemy".
* InsufferableGenius: He's in charge of investigating all metahuman crime scenes and refuses to let Barry investigate with him. He also talks down to detectives and is willing to risk lives to prove himself right.
* InTheHood: Alchemy wears a dark green hood over his head.
* JerkassHasAPoint: While he's very aggressive about it, he does have a valid point in chastising Barry for being late and breaking regulations, and he's understandably annoyed when Captain Singh lets him off with just a warning. Of course, this ignores how he almost got everyone killed before and wasn't blamed for it.
** He's also absolutely correct that Barry shouldn't be working for the police while simultaneously shielding a criminal who kidnapped and assaulted several people from justice. Of course, he probably shouldn't be telling Barry that his moral compass is too flawed for police work when he is simultaneously blackmailing him.
* LegacyCharacter: Julian is not the first Alchemy, and there have been many before him who took on the mantle as Savitar's herald.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Alchemy has a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bzRR9TQAgw creepy mystical sounding theme]].
* LightIsNotGood: Despite his [[DarkIsEvil dark gruesome appearance]], Alchemy's powers emit white energy that follows the light motif.
* MalevolentMaskedMen: He wears a metallic mask resembling that of a plague doctor. Except he is not malevolent, just possessed.
* MouthOfSauron: Speaks for Savitar and serves as the leader of his cult, speaking to and empowering the believers for Savitar's sake.
* MovieSuperheroesWearBlack: While Alchemy's cloak and hood are still green, it's a much darker green than in the comics, and the main body of his outfit is black leather.
* MythologyGag: Alchemy doesn't wear a mask in comics. The one he wears on the show is from his comic persona's previous identity, Mr. Element.
* NonIdleRich: He was actually the heir to an aristocratic family in England, but he was more interested in becoming a scientist and helping people.
* NoSocialSkills: His social skills leave something to be desired. Even when he's trying to be helpful, he tends to come off as a {{Jerkass}} anyway due to being extremely brusque and rude.
* NotSoAboveItAll: After joining Team Flash, he occasionally shows he's not as uptight as he appears to be. It is shown when he uses a stereotypical AdventurerArchaeologist attire to go to Gorilla City in Earth-2.
* ObviouslyEvil: Alchemy rivals Zoom in this regard, given that he resembles a plague doctor.
* PermaStubble: He is always seen with a short beard.
* PowerCrystal: Implied to be the source of much of his power as he's regularly seen kneeling to an altar where it sits on top, and he always has it in hand whenever he fights, allowing him to fire [[HandBlast concussive energy beams]]. Plus, physical contact with it [[SuperEmpowering is how people gain their Flashpoint powers]].
* PsychicPowers: From Savitar's Philosopher's Stone, Alchemy can access {{Telepathy}}, memory manipulation, a RippleEffectProofMemory, and implied [[SurveillanceAsThePlotDemands scrying]].
* PutOnABus: After Caitlin's refusal to be with him and Barry's imprisonment in the Speed Force, Julian eventually returns to London before Season 4.
* RealityWarper: {{Downplayed}}, but there. Whatever Alchemy's power is, it definitely doesn't comply by any one theme, and verges far more into the supernatural than any Flash villain we've seen before. His abilities include but are not limited to: Granting post-Flashpoint people [[SuperEmpowering their Flashpoint powers]] and memories, a handful of different PsychicPowers, {{Hand Blast}}s, and carving his name into glass to summon his targets. Then it's revealed it wasn't him doing it, but Savitar doing all that ''through'' him.
* RedHerring: It seemed he was the BigBad for Season Three when he was really just TheDragon. Or kind of zig-zagged because Alchemy ''is'' Savitar speaking through him. They are even noted by Barry to have the same voice.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Justified as his appearance as Barry's colleague in the CCPD is directly caused by Barry "fixing" the Flashpoint timeline.
* TheRival: He is Barry's professional rival; he's Barry's senior lab partner and they have a spotty relationship because Julian doesn't trust Barry.
* ScheduleFanatic: At the beginning of "Magenta", he scolds Barry for ''daring'' to leave work two minutes early.
* SecondEpisodeIntroduction: Officially debuts in the second episode of ''The Flash'' Season Three.
* SharpDressedMan: Julian is always formally dressed.
* SitcomArchNemesis: Julian and Barry had this relationship at the beginning, it gets better later on following Julian's CharacterDevelopment.
* SplitPersonality: His Alchemy persona is this of a sort. When caught and confronted, he admits to having suffered periodic blackouts ever since he found the Philosopher's Stone. However, it's revealed to be because Savitar is possessing him; "Alchemy" doesn't truly exist.
* StealthHiBye: In his first appearance to the Flash, Alchemy abruptly disappears after delivering a few blasts to Barry and doing a subdued MotiveRant. However, given the ultimate outcome of the battle with the Rival, it was probably justified.
* SurvivorGuilt: In the episode "Borrowing Problems from the Future", while conversing with Caitlin, Julian directly states that he believes he should've died instead of the CCPD task force members.
* TheStoic: Alchemy's a very calm and composed individual for the most part.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Evil may be pushing it, but given that the group is of the White Morality, when Julian joins the team he begins to introduce certain shades of gray to their thinking.
* TomatoInTheMirror: Until Team Flash discovered it and told him, he had no idea that his body was being used as Savitar's host (as Doctor Alchemy) from time to time.
* TookALevelInKindness: Seemed to open up a bit more to Barry as of "Monster", but subverted [[TookALevelInJerkass when he forced Barry to quit or have Caitlin arrested]], then played straight after Barry reveals himself as the Flash, convinces Julian that he's been Alchemy all along, and gets his help in defeating Savitar for now; Julian subsequently relents and gets Barry his job back.
* TrappedInVillainy: He's only Savitar's Dragon because he's forced to; he'd rather be just a CSI tech.
* TwoFirstNames: Per the Creator/DCComics norm. ''Three'' come TheReveal of his full name, which counts as a MythologyGag.
* VoicesAreNotMental: He uses Savitar's voice when the latter speaks though him. That said, Savitar can drop his usual metallic tone while doing so.
* WrongGenreSavvy: He assumes that Barry is a BitchInSheepsClothing who manipulates people into thinking he's a hero.
* YouGetMeCoffee: He makes Barry type up all the reports while he does all of the lab tests.
* YouRemindMeOfX: Cisco mentions that Julian reminded him of Hartley. The fact that both Julian and Hartley were InsufferableGenius supervillains pre-HeelFaceTurn does not help.

A former socialite who was reported missing by her family and whose whereabouts lead to Ralph's biggest case yet. Turns out she is now a criminal connected to the enigmatic Black Hole.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: The Sue of the comics was a skilled detective but otherwise had little to no combat abilities. This Sue is a BadassNormal who can handle trained assassin Ultraviolet in a fight.
* AdaptationDyeJob: She's a brunette in the comics, while here her hair is black.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In large part due to RealLifeWritesThePlot where Ralph's actor got fired for his controversial tweets, Sue has, as a result, become more of her own character despite some initial back-and-forth with Ralph who has very little to do with Elongated Man's story in later appearances. And unless the writers choose to re-cast Ralph in some way with a different actor in the future or casually mention how Sue got married to him off-screen, it seems very unlikely Sue in this incarnation will ever take on the name of Mrs. Dibney.
* ActionGirl: Is able to match Ultraviolet in hand-to-hand combat.
* AllForNothing: Her goal in season 6 is to [[spoiler: get her parents out from under the thumb of Black Hole]]. In season 7, Sue reveals that [[spoiler: her parents stopped being "hostages" to Black Hole but were seduced by the power and wealth and stopped being the good people Sue remembered]].
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Dark-haired, beautiful, and generally unattached.
* BadassNormal: Having no powers doesn't stop her from being able to kick ass.
* BeingEvilSucks: She didn't feel good after manipulating Ralph's feelings.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Combined with MasterActress. Sue's act was so convincing that Ralph never saw it coming, and even Cecile, the resident empath, never reads her true intentions.
* CompositeCharacter: While she has her comic counterpart's name, her profession and dynamic with Ralph mirrors that of Franchise/{{Batman}} and ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arrowverse_jesse_chambers.png https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arrowverse_jesse_quick.png]]

!!! '''Species:''' Metahuman
!!! '''Known Aliases:''' Jesse Quick
!!! '''Played By:''' Creator/ViolettBeane
!!! '''First Appearance:''' "[[Recap/TheFlash2014S2E5TheDarknessAndTheLight The Darkness and the Light]]" (''The Flash'' 2x5)

The daughter of Harrison Wells from Earth-2. Jesse is a teenage genius having studied five courses at once in college. Zoom keeps her hostage for the first half of Season 2. After she is rescued by Team Flash and her father, she and "Harry" Wells take refugee on Earth-1. Towards the end of Season 2, she and Wally West were hit with dark matter as a result of an experiment to recreate the events of how Barry got his powers. As such, Jesse herself becomes a speedster in Season 3.

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: In the comics, she's a LegacyCharacter and child of two Golden Age superheroes who inherited her father's SuperSpeed (and later her mother's SuperStrength), who became one of Wally West's crime fighting partners and proteges during his tenure as The Flash. In the show, she's TeenGenius TagAlongKid from an alternate universe who after being kidnapped by the villainous Speedster Zoom, was caught in a mini-particle accelerator blast that granted her SuperSpeed and was briefly trained by Barry Allen before helping him train Wally West, her boyfriend for a time.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Usually, she is introduced during the Wally West era. Here, she debuts way ahead of him.
* AdaptationDyeJob: She's blonde in the comics. Here, she has auburn hair.
* AdaptationNameChange: In the comics, her name is Jesse Chambers. WordOfGod [[https://twitter.com/AJKreisberg/status/664248799687110656 confirmed]] that her full name in the show is Jesse Chambers Wells.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Jesse Quick in the comics was an insecure, tomboyish workaholic who struggled with feeling less than the other speedsters, had a short temperament, and while nerdy, it was more in the social life sense. Show Jesse is a more confident, feminine Cutie who's also a TeenGenius, doesn't appear to hold any insecurity about her power (in fact she inspires it in Wally), and is evidently socially affable enough to find a roommate while in another world relatively easily ''and'' apparently gather together her own support team.
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Jesse was a speedster in the comics, but her powers worked differently; because of how she'd been trained, she had to use a spoken 'Speed formula' to mentally put herself in position to use her powers. As an extra, she had the unique ability to generate short bursts of flight with her speed, and as her mother was a super-hero with super strength that followed similar rules, she learnt to harness this as well. Here, she seems to have pretty much the same speed powers as Barry.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: About the only canon relationship that stayed more-or-less the same was Jesse's relationship with Jay Garrick, and even that isn't quite as close. Specifics:
** Her father; [[AdaptationNameChange Johnny Chambers]] was a loving father to Jesse and she was an utter DaddysGirl, though his sport coach-like parenting left her with some issues with earning approval. Here, she's repeatedly CallingTheOldManOut over his dysfunctional personality and terrible people skills, and while he loves her, he struggles to show it. Also, her mom is a case of DeceasedParentsAreTheBest when in the comics, Libby Lawrence was a smothering, somewhat overbearing mother who survived her ex-husband by many years, and Jesse had a troubled relationship with her. In many ways, the dynamic between them switched.
** Wally West; in the comics, Jesse was one of Wally's partners in crime-fighting but outside of AllLoveIsUnrequited on her side, they were JustFriends, with Wally seemingly seeing them as LikeBrotherAndSister. Wally was also much more powerful and far more experienced than Jesse, causing her to often feel like she CantCatchUp, while Wally had a BigBrotherInstinct and constantly went out of his way to help the otherwise friendless and constantly overworked Jesse socialise more. The show, obviously, made them a BetaCouple and had Jesse be the one who got powers first, helped train Wally, and caused him to feel insecure about his abilities next to hers, especially as she was a TeenGenius from a rich family.
** Barry Allen; Jesse in the comics had almost ''no'' relationship with Barry Allen, introduced while he was dead and being DemotedToExtra alongside most of the Flash Family shortly after he came BackFromTheDead, and in general she was more a friend-of-a-friend. While they're still not particularly close in the show, Barry helped train her and seemed to take over Wally's role of being Jesse's BigBrotherMentor, and Jesse is now in-universe Barry's counterpart as the Flash of Earth 2.
* AffectionateNickname: [[InSeriesNickname Her dad calls her]] Jesse Quick because of how smart she is.
* AmicableExes: Breaks up with Wally due to the complexities of their situations, she lives in another universe and is busy protecting her Earth, not because she doesn't still care for him.
* BrokenPedestal: For her father, when she learned he caused the meta-humans. And again when she inadvertently learns that in order to save her from Zoom, he'd killed a man. Having finally had enough of Harry's [[MeanBoss domineering personality]] she kicks him off Team Quick, and out of Earth-2, but she has not quite disowned him.
* BusCrash: Like her father, she is disintegrated alongside her entire Earth by the Anti-Monitor, as confirmed in "Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part Three".
* CallingTheOldManOut: Jesse doesn't hesitate to call her father out on his mistakes.
* CommutingOnABus: She leaves Central City in "Trajectory" in order to explore Earth-1 and discourage her father from giving into his darker urges. She returns in "Back To Normal", and leaves at the end of Season 2, making five appearances in Season 3 and one in Season 4.
* CuteBruiser: Jesse is a cute, young woman and a badass speedster.
%%* TheCutie
* DamselInDistress: Zoom keeps her hostage. She was eventually rescued by her father and a group of good people ([[EnemyMine sans Killer Frost]]).
* DimensionalTraveler: DependingOnTheWriter, her SuperSpeed allows her to cross TheMultiverse at will.
* DominoMask: She wears one as part of her Jesse Quick Persona. It originally belonged to Trajectory.
* FieryRedhead: She has reddish-brown hair and is very opinionated.
* ForegoneConclusion: As with Wally West, the reason why the announcement of her powers has no spoiler tags.
* FragileSpeedster: She's faster than Barry when he first got his powers but she's far more vulnerable.
* GenderBlenderName: "Jesse" is typically a given name for males, whereas "Jessie" is usually the female spelling.
* GirlinessUpgrade: Inverted. Once she goes to Earth-1, she starts acting and dressing more like a {{Shorttank}}.
* GoodCounterpart: To Trajectory the first female speedster (who was evil). Bonus points for using the same costume (with some slight modifications).
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Since Season 3, she's essentially The Flash of Earth-2 and temporarily of Earth-3.
* HiddenBuxom: Since her actress is well-endowed and the show wants to portray her as the TagalongKid, the wardrobe department always gives her either slightly thicker clothing or clothes that are tight enough to [[SuppressedMammaries suppress them]] which are often also accompanied by plaid shirts or/and jackets for better concealment. That or they just avoid using shots that clearly displays her figure as much as possible. This is evident when she returns in Season 3 where she's wearing a plunging tanktop. The moment she takes her jacket off she's only seen either from the back or in distant shots.
* IconicSequelCharacter: Does not appear until ''The Flash'' Season 2, which was during the Series/{{Arrowverse}}'s fourth year.
* IHaveYourWife: Zoom keeps her hostage as a leverage against her father. She was eventually rescued.
* InNameOnly: Note the number of 'Adaptational Change' tropes at the top. Though the show played fast and loose with a lot of characters, the only thing connecting Jesse from the comics and Jesse from the show is they're both female speedsters nicknamed Jesse Quick. They're so different that you could have both interacting and it'd look like two completely different characters.
* JumpedAtTheCall: When her powers kick in she's very eager to become a hero like Barry.
* MissingMom: Her mother is nowhere to be seen, but is then confirmed to have been long dead in "Back to Normal". Whether or not she's also the Earth-2 Tess Morgan remains to be seen.
* MoralityPet: For her father, Harrison Wells. Sadly, it doesn't mean that their relationship is healthy.
* TheOjou: She's the daughter of her world's greatest ScienceHero and founder of a top-notch science laboratory.
* PunnyName: She uses her AffectionateNickname "Jesse Quick" as her superhero name after gaining SuperSpeed.
* PutOnABus: She takes an extended leave in "Into the Speed Force" to perform Jay Garrick's duty as protector of Earth-3 while he assists Team Flash to defeat Savitar. She returns for one episode in Season 4, after which she leaves the team for good.[[note]]RealLifeWritesThePlot; Violett Beane was starring in ''Series/GodFriendedMe''.[[/note]]
* RealNameAsAnAlias: Her superhero name is also her father's AffectionateNickname for her.
* RedIsHeroic: Her costume, which ironically was originally worn by a villain (and an evil female speedster at that).
* RedeemingReplacement: She is a genuinely heroic speedster in Earth-2, unlike Hunter Zolomon, who was purely evil and had a heroic facade to make the people feel hope to then steal it away. She also wears Trajectory's costume, who was also an evil speedster.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: This version of Jesse Quick is the daughter of the S.T.A.R. Labs founder.
* RetGone: It's implied she no longer exists after the multiverse was recreated.
* ShipTease: She checks out Wally when at a bar with Team Flash. Kisses him before going back to Earth-2.
%%* {{Shorttank}}
* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: She has auburn hair and green eyes and is Harrison Wells' daughter.
* SilkHidingSteel: At first glance she appears merely as TheCutie, but she has no qualms on [[CallingTheOldManOut calling her father out]] on his mistakes and (at least initially) doesn't falter at Zoom's presence even though the latter is keeping her hostage. This trope practically applies literally too, as she's mostly wearing a [[RetroUniverse 1950s styled]] silk dress.
* SixthRanger: She joins Team Flash after being rescued from Zoom's prison.
* SkewedPriorities: She didn't want to leave Earth-2 despite the fact that she had just been rescued from an AxCrazy speedster who is now on her and her father's trail. Harry calls her out on it.
* TheSmartGirl: Easily the smartest member of Team Flash, which is TheSmartGuy team of the Series/{{Arrowverse}}. She's said to be even smarter than her father.
* TagalongKid: The youngest member of Team Flash to date.
* TearsOfFear: Whatever Zoom did to her, the moment she's briefly reunited with her father, she breaks down to the point of tears, begging not to go back.
* TeenGenius: Expected, given who her father is. She graduated high school at age of 15, and is currently a college student. With five majors.
* UncertainDoom: While she died due to the Anti-Monitor's attacks on the Multiverse, her status following the recreation of the multiverse are unknown.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Jesse Quick of the comics was a blonde-haired all-American looking girl with a revealing outfit. The show practices AdaptationalModesty and AdaptationDyeJob.

[[folder:Harry Wells]]

* InSeriesNickname: Cisco dubs him Harry to differentiate him from both his Earth-1 counterpart and his counterpart's [[DeadPersonImpersonation impersonator]].

* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: While he was introduced without these to distinguish him from Thawne, as of late Season 3 onwards he begins wearing these too.

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Jesse Quick in the comics was an insecure, tomboyish workaholic who struggled with feeling less than the other speedsters, had a short temperament, and while nerdy, it was more in the sociak life sense. Show Jesse is a more confident, feminine Cutie who's also a TeenGenius, doesn't appear to hold any insecurity about her power (in fact she inspires it in Wally), and is evidently socially affable enough to find a roommate while in another world relatively easily ''and'' apparently gather together her own support team.

* HeroesWantRedheads: He's married to the redheaded Joan Williams.

*** [[spoiler:Like Earth-1 Harrison Wells, his body is taken by Thawne, although as a demonic possession instead of a DNA theft. He was also impersonated by him, although to a much lesser extent.]]

** Six people addressed with the letter '''H''' ("Harrison", Harry, Henry, H.R., the part-time/external member Hartley, and the fake Jay Garrick whose real first name is Hunter. Also, Harry, H.R., and [[KillAndReplace technically]] "Harrison" are [[AlternateSelf the same person]])
** Five with the letter '''J''' (Joe, "Jay", Jesse, Julian, and the part-time member the real Jay. Also, the real Jay and Henry are [[AlternateSelf the same person]])

* HeroicBSOD: He spends pretty much his entire time on Earth-1 slowly breaking down because Zoom has his daughter, and he didn't even know if she was still alive until Cisco vibed him. After Zoom attacks him and offers him a deal—Jesse in exchange for stealing the Flash's speed—he is so obviously losing it that Team Flash start noticing how unhappy he is.

* EvilSoundsDeep: He invokes this as a joke upon his arrival on Earth-1, saying "Greetings, Earthlings" in a very low, [[GutturalGrowler growling voice]] before laughing and admitting [[IAlwaysWantedToSayThat he just always wanted to say that]].
