Forget the Teen Titans, Flash's Son Is Already Smart Enough to Lead the Justice League

Summary Flash's son, Jai West, uncovers a cosmic conspiracy that manipulates reality, proving he's ready for the big leagues like the Justice League.

Despite not wanting to be a hero, Jai's brilliant mind makes him on par with heroes like Batman and Mister Terrific, making him a valuable asset.

Jai's ability to solve a reality-warping mystery showcases his potential beyond the Teen Titans, with his talents better suited for the Justice League.

Warning! Spoilers ahead for The Flash #10!He might be Teen Titans material, but Flash's son has proven he's got the chops to go straight to the Justice League. The Flash Family is in chaos right now as speedsters are accused of destabilizing the DC Universe. But in a moment that could shape his future, Jai West discovers the truth behind this cosmic conspiracy.

In The Flash #10 by Simon Spurrier, Ramon Perez, and Vasco Georgiev, Flash's son Jai is at the Linear Bureau's base with Pied Piper and Inspector Pilgrim discussing the speedster situation. Jai remembers his father talking to Nightwing about perspective and looking at things from a different point of view.

Jai realizes that the Arc Angles lied to Inspector Pilgrim about speedsters destroying the timeline. He sums the situation up by saying that the higher-level beings have manipulated reality to make it seem like Flash and his allies were harming the DC Universe when they're just as much the victims.

Flash's Son Has Solved a Reality-Warping Mystery

Jai West has been through some trying events in his life. Once he was a speedster just like his sister until Jai had to give up his speed. But Jai got a new power, one that allowed him to create fleshy conduits that made it possible for him to bounce back and forth between different speedster locations. Jai is surrounded by plenty of heroes in the Flash Family, but he recently had a heart-to-heart where he revealed to his father that he didn't want to be a hero. That said, Flash's son has continued to experiment with his growing powers.

Jai's sister Irey has always been the more straightforward hero of the two (she's even shown to carry on their father's Flash mantle in the future). But while Jai is more reserved, he's done the unthinkable and solved the mystery that's perplexed the entire Flash Family, including his lauded Science Detective brother, Inspector Pilgrim. Fans have often pondered the idea of Jai joining a young superhero team like the Teen Titans. But Flash's son shows an aptitude that would frankly be wasted on the Teen Titans and be put to much better use on a team like the Justice League.

Flash's Son is Ready for the Big Leagues

Sure, Jai's young and said he doesn't want to be a superhero. But he appears to be coming around to the idea of it and realizing there's more than one way to save the day. A mind like Jai's is rare and at his age, he's already on par with brilliant heroes like Batman and Mister Terrific (the latter of whom has been stumped at this whole affair). While there's no doubt he'd be a hell of a Teen Titan, the Flash's firstborn son could go a long way in bringing his talents to the Justice League.
