While she's improving a little bit, at least in Laurel terms, Candice Patton has already distinguished Iris as not sheerly being a plot device, simple trope or mere Damsel in Distress.

He's the only speedster who comes to mind in the Marvel universe. Maybe him and Flash squared off in an Avengers vs. JLA story??

Can't be any worse than Nick Tarabay's Ozzie accent, right?
