How would one begin to diversify speedsters?
The easy way is of course to stack powers on top of running fast but that's just lazy and most o the time isn't about being fast at all.
Why isn't there a speedster with a lower top speed but the acceleration to reach it is unmatched? Or make moving fast have a direct impact on stamina so you'll get endurance runners?

that's still just running fast anon
they had the right idea giving bart that ability to make more of himself or whatever

Well, there used to speedsters that while they were slower that flash, they could fucking fly. And they bragged about that obviously useful leg up.

Who is the black and blue flash?

Bart's Speed scouts
Jesse's flying brick powers
The Tornado Twins and the Top spinning to create vortices
Irey's intangibility
CW Barry's throwing Speedforce lightning

>Why isn't there a speedster with a lower top speed but the acceleration to reach it is unmatched?
Because acceleration is a non-factor for most speedsters. They go as fast as they want whenever they want.
Now, a speedster with relatively low acceleration but NO upper limit on speed, on the other hand...

Jay: old guy, his helmet can create sonic booms
Barry: he can use his vibrations perfectly, he can be a ghost
Wally: SPEEDFORCE
Jesse: can fly and punch harder than others
Bart: Can remember everything he reads
Black Wally: Can shoot lightning

Maybe the actual problem is that there are too fucking many speedsters.
Get rid of all but one. Maybe two or three.

new 52 did it. that didn't end well.
the thing is multiple speedsters work in dcu because there are several teams they can be part of
they also work on family mandate and that differs them from other heroes like superman so it's not actually bad either.
problem is shitty tv show writers, comics and cartoons handle it fine

I like the way Bart's speed actually affected his personality and outlook on life (at least back when he was Impulse). Most other speedsters seem way too chill and well adjusted considering how different their perception of reality is from a regular person's.

Bart wasn't raised as a normie.
Other Flashes had a human life and all its limitations for a while.

Bart's VR upbringing certainly didn't help but you'd think even with a normal childhood, after a few years superspeed would start to seriously affect you.

Who the hell was the female speedster in blue supposed to be?
Booth said this was planned pre-rebirth so maybe N52 Jenni Ognats or Meena?
