It is an ensemble story featuring several of the younger heroes of the DC Universe, but Fairplay is definitely a featured player. He solves problems, he gets overwhelmed, he re-regulates and gets back in the action. Writer Jeremy Adams and artists Fernando Pasarin and Tom Derenick created the character in Flash #799 (2023), and writer Adams brought him back for The Kids are All Fight. “I have always written Fairplay as autistic, but it wasn’t explicit previously,” said Adams. "For The Kids are All Fight I wanted to MAKE SURE that I said it outright.” DC Comics was supportive of the idea, and Adams is excited about the prospects for the characters. “I hope people take it and run with it.”  The Autism Scene founder Britton Payne has spoken regularly at comic cons and elsewhere about the history of explicitly autistic characters in comic books, and is excited to be able to add Fairplay to the presentation. “For as many autistic people there are in the world, there aren’t very many explicitly autistic characters in comics. Fairplay is a great new addition to the fantastic world of DC Comics!”
