Biography
Origin
Post-Flashpoint
Following the Flashpoint, a new version of reality was created with a different history of events. James Jesse was born in the modern age to parents who were circus acrobats that were noted conmen. From a young age, he had an interest in books and reading which was something his parents disapproved of as they wanted him to devote himself to their craft. They came to operate as tightrope walkers at the Central City Circus where they decided to tailor themselves after the Flying Graysons in order to try profit from their fame by calling themselves the Flying Jesses. When the Graysons died, the Jesses sought to capitalise on their death by performing what they claimed to be the most dangerous stunt in the world. James Jesse was scared of some of these acts and he had no desire to be a circus performer. After his parents forced him to perform one dangerous act, James decided to leave the circus where he performed his first con at S.T.A.R. Labs where he tricked a woman into revealing the company's secrets which he sold to LexCorp. (The Flash v5 #66)
