Sideways (Derek James) is a superhero created by writers Dan DiDio, Justin Jordan, and artist Kenneth Rocafort who appears in media published by DC Comics.

[1] The character debuted in Sideways #1, which was originally promoted in spring 2017 as part of a group of new comic series set for release in fall of that year.

[7] Sideways appeared in the background of a group shot in Dan Jurgens' story in Action Comics #1000.

Suddenly, a mentally unstable woman named Killspeed breaks out and kills several hospital staff members to obtain money to treat her cancer.

When the police arrive, Sideways uses his Rift abilities to teleport, but he accidentally severs Killspeed's arm.

Replicant accidentally kills himself when he creates multiple rifts on top of his body, and Sideways gains popularity.

With quick thinking from Erin, she calms the audience, which allows Sideways to teleport Showman to a different location where he defeats him.

[15] In a review of the first issue for IGN, Blair Marnell praised Rocafort's art but said the teenage dialogue was "so far off of the mark that it borders on self-parody".
