Plus, her Workaholic nature means she barely shows up to the gatherings, and mostly shows up when something's going down. This seems to be due to being saddled with her dad's company as well as how his death affected her; before that she was actually quite bubbly, though a quiet bookworm, and after leaving her company and marrying Rick, she became a lot more cheery.

* CanonDiscontinuity: Her time with the Titans ''is'' acknowledged, but only up to the end of Devin Grayson's run. The following run saw Jesse have an affair with her mother's fiance, which indirectly lead to his death, soiled Jesse's friendships within the Titans and damaged her relationship with her mother. Next time Jesse and her mom appeared together, there was ''no'' mention of this, nor when Jesse interacted with Donna and Dick again.

* CharacterisationMarchesOn: When first introduced in ''Justice Society of America'', Jesse was a superhero fangirl who grew up hero-worshiping the Justice Society and dedicated her thesis in grad school to studying them, and couldn't stop smiling in the sight of them. When she shows up in ''The Flash'', she's a hero-in-training who is generally a lot less bubbly and smiles considerably less, and as time goes on her characterisation becomes the workaholic who can't relax. This can partially be explained by her dad's death and her being thrust into a highly important CEO position she was massively underqualified for, leaving her ''constantly'' overworked. There's also the fact she was now an active hero, but was still quite green and still finding her footing.

** When she was on the Titans, she had a bit of an obvious puppy dog crush on Dick Grayson. He seemed to see her as more like his friend's sister that he was trying to help out, though he was willing to pretend to be her boyfriend for a social event to keep her mom off her back.

* NamesTheSame: He shares the same name with the speedster/Flash-parallel member of the [[EvilCounterpart Crime Syndicate of Amerika]] from Earth 3/Antimatter universe. DependingOnTheWriter, he's either an Alternate Universe counterpart of Barry Allen, or explicitly an evil Johnny Chambers thriving in a world without the Flash.
* MagicalNativeAmerican: How he got his powers; back in the 1700s, Max was bestowed his speed powers by a tribe of Native Americans so he could become their guardian and champion.
* DarkSecret: It turns out the reason he's so effective in the cosmic races is he has his ''entire'' race running at the same time and is siphoning off their speed. Him cheating to win these races has saved his planet and their people, but has resulted in the deaths of all they've raced against (as the cosmic gamblers forcing them to compete execute the losing planet), and has essentially locked his entire people into slavery to keep them alive. As a result, he feels so guilty that he repeatedly helps Wally during their race and eventually confesses how he's been doing it.

In fairness, he actually ''did'' start off heroic, gaining super speed and saving his time from a threat that had fought the original three Flashes. However, it turns out after this happened, his people decided to copy his speed powers and empowered robotic law enforcers with super-speed, leaving him redundant. Anti-time travel laws turn him into a fugitive when he tries to find a new time period to be a hero in.

->'''AKA:''' Bar Torr/"Bart Allen"
->'''First appearance:''' ''Teen Titans'' vol. 4 #1 (September 2014)
->'''Hair color:''' Brown
->'''Eye color:''' Yellow
In the early 21st Century, Bart Allen used his super-speed as the hero Kid Flash, one of the members of the Teen Titans. He initially had no memories and only recalled his name. In actuality, his name is Bar Torr and he's from the 31st Century, and he was sent back as a form of witness protection after helping stop a rebellion ''he'' started. While he uses the name Kid Flash, he's not associated with the Flash Family and isn't powered by the Speed Force. Not only that, but he doesn't even ''like'' the Flash.
!!Tropes applying to Bar Torr
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Still a trait of his, and he never thinks ''anything'' through.
* CharacterisationMarchesOn: He was initially FunPersonified...but then his backstory was revealed and he's regretful and sad that he lied to his friends...then he's not, and is an outright asshole about it. Then he is again. This was also all under the same writer, by the way, so it's not a case of DependingOnTheWriter.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: After terrible reception to him, an attempt was made to bring him back. However, by that point, the 2014 ''Flash'' TV series had began and plans were made to bring back Wally West as Kid Flash with an accompanying RaceLift to sync up with the show; Bar was put on a bus around the same time and hasn't been mentioned since, aside from a background appearance in ''The Flash/Speed Buggy'', and that was drawn by Brett Booth, who designed him and is very obviously not canon. Even later still, the original Bart Allen would return, making the chances of Bar's return as a member of the Flash Family even smaller.
* CivvieSpandex: His first costume was a cloth version of Wally West's Kid Flash suit with some goggles. He ditches it pretty early on.
* CommonalityConnection: Averted. Not only is he not an Allen, but it seems he isn't even powered by the Speed Force. He has ''nothing'' to do with Barry Allen or the Flash legacy. In fact, it's never even revealed ''why'' he chose the Kid Flash name, as he doesn't even ''like'' the Flash.
* DarkerAndEdgier: His costume was much darker and had red eyes, and he was now the former leader of a rebellion and killed his oppressors.
* InNameOnly: He has next to nothing in common with the original Bart Allen. The only similarities are that he was on the Teen Titans with Tim Drake and Cassie Sandsmark, is from the future and goes by Kid Flash. To elaborate:
** His relation to Barry Allen is different, as in non-existent. The original was Barry's grandson, this one isn't even an Allen and it's seemingly pure coincidence that he ended up with that name as an alias.
** The source of his powers is different. In addition to not being derived from the Speed Force, he just...''got them'' somehow instead of being born with them.
** Instead of being a kid raised in VR, he's now a rebellion leader.
** His personality is wildly different. While he ''initially'' had the original Bart's FunPersonified nature, that's revealed to be an act, and he's much more of a sociopath...or regretful? It doesn't just Depend on the Writer; it's the ''same'' writer, so it's just inconsistent.
* LegacyImplosion: This version of him was introduced as the ''first'' Kid Flash and never went by Impulse. He was later retconned to be the second in the New 52 timeline after Wally.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Realised that [[CaptainObviousReveal rebellions hurt people]] when he accidentally kills his sister. This causes him to call the entire thing off, because...yeah, he apparently didn't realise that people get hurt in armed rebellions.
* MythologyGag: His seemingly first costume in the future was basically Inertia's. Whether there's more to this, we don't know yet.
* PutOnABus: Was left in the future to pay for his crimes, comes back somehow and works for Manchester Black and chews out the Titans, then disappears from the series again.
* SecretIdentity: Two: first, Bart Allen. Second: Bar Torr, his ''real'' name, as Bart Allen was just a cover.

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Maybe not 'love' per-say, but part of her problems with Wally stemmed from the fact that she was attracted to him, but she only met him after he'd began dating Linda, at which point Wally had SingleTargetSexuality[[note]]plus Wally was ObliviousToLove, and thought that Jesse just didn't like him[[/note]]. She was hurt when he set her up as his successor for the sole purpose of kicking Bart into shape, and later when he wasn't there to for her after her dad died, which she'd bottled up and only let out when Wonder Woman used the lasso of truth to hold her back from running into the Speed Force. This faded though and the two became friends.
* ILetGwenStacyDie: Minor case, but when Zoom attacked Linda and caused her to miscarry her kids, Jesse blamed herself. Wally and Linda had invited her to a Flash Family meeting to announce their pregnancy, but Jesse blew them off figuring it wasn't important, during which Zoom attacked. Jesse believed that had she took time off from work for just one day to visit her friends she might have helped avoid it.
