The Book of Liberty Belle (Jesse Chambers)
 

_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - Jessica Chambers, daughter of the two Golden Age heroes Johnny Quick and Liberty Belle, started her superhero career by following her father’s footsteps and becoming Jesse Quick. Later, after her father’s death and the subsequent loss of her superspeed, Jesse became the official business manager for the Justice Society of America, where she met and fell in love with Rick Tyler, the second Hourman. After reconciling with her mother, whom she had been estranged from for years, Jesse found she could also tap into her mother’s powers, and doing so she became the new Liberty Belle.

After revealing an Order Marker on this card and taking a turn with Liberty Belle, you may immediately take a turn with a Rick Tyler figure you control that has this special power, and you may not take any additional turns with other figures you control. During this turn, that Rick Tyler figure can attack only while adjacent to Liberty Belle.

ORIGINAL DESIGN:

Re: The Book of Liberty Belle (Jessica Chambers) - Design Ph
 

The only change here from the write-up I posted in the JSA faction thread is the power name for Married Duo (formerly Husband and Wife), which I’m not even sold on (anyone got suggestions?). It’s a pretty simple design but I think it captures the character well and sets up some nice synergy for the JSA.

Some thoughts:
1) Like I said in Hourman’s thread, we need to make a final decision on which class we want to use for the younger JSAers.
2) Do we want to leave it open so that anyone can get boosted by Society Fortitude as long as she’s next to another JSAer (which is how it works now)? Or should it be double-restricted (so JSAers trigger it and only JSAers receive the boost)?
3) Does Enhanced Durability fit her best, or do we want to switch it to one of the other simple defensive powers (Tough, Invulnerability, Impenetrable Skin, etc.)? I think Enhanced Durability is my favorite, but I’d be okay with any of them.

Might need to call in @Spidey'tilIDie but I believe for most of her time as Liberty Belle, she also has her father's super speed.

Re: The Book of Liberty Belle (Jessica Chambers) - Design Ph
 

Oh, also, I believe she can fly?

Re: The Book of Liberty Belle (Jessica Chambers) - Design Ph
 

Yeah, from what I understand she's got speed + power at this stage. I feel her Secret Identity should be "Jesse Chambers," as well.

I'm thinking that her boost should be limited to the JSA classes but it's not a strong opinion.

Re: The Book of Liberty Belle (Jessica Chambers) - Design Ph
 

+1 on Jesse Chambers.

Re: The Book of Liberty Belle (Jessica Chambers) - Design Ph
 

I've read the comics at this stage and done some recent research, and while she does have both powers for awhile, there is also a decent sized period where she doesn't have her super speed (she gave it to Wally or something like that). My intent is to design this one with only her Liberty Belle powers, then later design a Jesse Quick that would allow you to also draft Liberty Belle to combine her powers (thus getting three different periods of the character in only two designs).

Only while she has her super speed. For the period I'm capturing she couldn't fly.

Yeah, I kept flip-flopping between going with Jesse or Jessica; but if people prefer Jesse I'm totally fine with that.

Re: The Book of Liberty Belle (Jessica Chambers) - Design Ph
 

But she only ever had all of the powers in her Liberty Belle period, not in her Jesse Quick period, so wouldn't it make more sense for the Liberty Belle design to be the one that let you use all of the powers?

Re: The Book of Liberty Belle (Jessica Chambers) - Design Ph
 

Well, for one, that's incorrect, because not that long after regaining her super speed (and being at the point of having both power-sets) she switched back to using the name Jesse Quick. Also she already has three powers and I really don't want to see any of them dropped.

Re: The Book of Liberty Belle (Jessica Chambers) - Design Ph
 

I would drop her attack by one. With Hourman adjacent, you'll get two attacks, both with +1.

I also like Jesse Chambers and I'm cool with Protege as the JSA class, but you already knew that. :p

Re: The Book of Liberty Belle (Jessica Chambers) - Design Ph
 

You wouldn't have to give her any more powers, just Move 9 and Flying.

How long was she back to the name Jesse Quick? I only remember her switching back very, very briefly during Blackest Night.
