It’s certainly not revolutionary, agreed.
 
My point is that Flash Sentry’s character is a very standard “you’re supposed to want to fuck this” for women, and (to a lesser degree) “you’re supposed to want to be this” for men.
 
However, the same characteristics in a female character don’t ping the same way. Female Flash wouldn’t be a standard sex icon that men are supposed to lust after, nor a standard image of success that women are supposed to emulate. R63 Flash isn’t innately more interesting than regular Flash, but becomes so in the context of our culture by virtue of being less standard.

That would just take the same demographic you mentioned and flip adoration to admiration. It’s been done. In fact, I just finished the book “The Count of Monte Cristo”, and there was a female character exactly like that in the story, and that was written back in the early nineteenth century. Definitely not anything revolutionary.

There’s a shallow element to it, but there’s another angle: Flash Sentry is a stack of characteristics that pubescent girls are supposed to lust after. (Confident, plays rock music on guitar, implied to have money.) However, the same characteristics are not generically eroticized in women. Confident rocker chick with a sweet car?
 
It wouldn’t make Flash a compelling character, but it would make him less of a “you’re supposed to want to fuck this” cliche.
