Aircraft X departed ict on wrong code and tagged as aircraft Z. Aircraft Y was released off iab runway heading unrestr climb to 14000 ft block 15000 ft. After confusion over aircraft X code and call sign, he was not issued climb or turn until 10 or 12 mi south of ict. Aircraft Y departed iab at a higher climb rate and speed than expected. The aircraft passed about 10 mi south of iab. Aircraft X reported seeing the B1 pass in front of him at the same time aircraft Y checked in climbing through 11000 ft. Aircraft X advised he was going to report a near miss. Aircraft Y advised he had made a full afterburner climb.
