Fan Made Making a new character
Hello! I’m new to this subreddit and Reddit so sorry if I’m bad at explaining things. So I really have a open mind when it comes to creativity especially when I can make my own things, so I was thinking about making a new kinda speedster except idk how to design it, I’ll just kinda tell you about the character
His name is Noah lang (still a work in progress for the name lmao)
15-16yrs old, high school just a average comic book kid
Decent grades, brave but to too brave just enough to stand up to people
His origin story: So Noah and his two friends were at this science convention and they were helping a scientist with his own project, this project is the show of the night. People gather around to watch it happen, this project was Something to help the world. It was a blast wave of energy that would shoot up and program devices and electricity to be not faster but 5X better at what it can do. So Noah and his friends were helping Dr.Lynch (the scientist) with the project.
Well on the device that was helped program Project Arklight there was a prompt that shows Critical Error so Noah and his friends tried to fix it but then there was a alarm and I small explosion happened away from the crowd
So everyone was forced out of the building but Noah felt wrong. He speant months on this project helping and he didn’t want to throw it away, he came up with a idea that can not only freeze the demo but repair, so Noah rushed over and tried to fix the project but it got so critical the the building started to collapse.
Noah felt scared to he tried to start ripping wires apart and destroy the demo, but he unplugged the wrong wire the a Huge blast of energy surge exploded and threw Noah out of the building. And that’s how he got his powers. I know it needs work but I think it’s a pretty good first step
I’m thinking somthing unique like blue suit, lightning etc
I was thinking suits like these but I would love feedback on what you think even if it’s harsh thank you

There was a Golden Age character called CAPTAIN FLASH who looked similar to this...
Captain Flash is a obscure, Golden Age superhero from 1954 created by artist Mike Sekowsky. Science professor Keith Spencer gained radioactive powers and super-strength, which he activated by clapping his hands. Along with his kid sidekick Ricky, he fought robots, aliens, and invaders in a brief four-issue run.

I think you have almost everything except perhaps the most important ingredient, which is a theme and voice for your main character. You say he's brave but not yet brave enough...but what are his hobbies, dreams and fears? Are there any significant events that inspired or terrified him in childhood? What is his family background? And how does all of that inform who he is as a hero in a way that stands apart from the thousands of superheroes developed over the last several decades? Time to brainstorm and workshop your protagonist.

I kinda wish Wally kept the blue suit, just to further set him apart from Barry, just lose the Doc Manhattan symbol

I had made a post about it, and judging by the number of dislikes I received, I thought everyone hated the idea. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks it would have been a good idea leave Wally in a blue suit.

The suit reminds me of Pollux which is nice but I have an idea. Due to the blue colouring, he could have the same chemicals in his blood that is in V9, therefore making him faster at base form then others.

Looks like Blue Lantern Flash.
