Speed Demon

Speed Demon is a member of the Squadron Supreme.

History[]

Hyperion[]

Speed Demon was an alien superhero from a distant world where they were a team of heroes similar to the Avengers called the Squadron Supreme. The people of their world feared their power and turned against them. As a final solution, Hyperion destroys his home planet along with his team on it, escaping into space in his Citadel.

Nighthawk[]

After Nighthawks battle with the Avengers, the Squadron Supreme are revealed to be alive and well. They make plans to defeat the Avengers and conquer the Earth.

The Dark Avengers[]

Using the Reality Gem, Doctor Spectrum alters reality so the Avengers are all criminals with darker costumes and the Avengers Tower is the headquarters of the Squadron. Due to a spike in energy, Iron Man sees the real reality and manages to convince his team to come together. However, Spectrum has created a machine that will give him complete control over reality and plans to alter history so the Avengers were never born. Captain is able to get a hold of the stone and revert reality back to normal. The Squadron leaves with Nighthawk activating charges placed at the base of Avengers tower. The Avengers manage to prevent the structure from falling onto New York in time for J.A.R.V.I.S. to activate the repair systems.

Terminal Velocity[]

The Squadron Supreme's fastest member Speed Demon is on the loose and wreaking havoc throughout Avengers Tower. Hulk must save the day by fighting the high velocity villain.

Midgard Crisis[]

Thor is convinced that Power Princess wants to defect from Squadron Supreme, but Hulk knows better and must protect Thor from Power Princess's duplicitous ways.

Avengers' Second To Last Stand[]

The Avengers are challenged by the fully formed and incredibly powerful Squadron Supreme for a battle that will end with only one team as the victor.

Avengers Underground[]

After believing they had beaten the Avengers, each member of the Squadron took a part of the Earth where they wouldn't see each other. The Avengers later resurface and take each member down one at a time. Speed Demon was put in a large containment field, where the Hulk gladly beat him up for what happened in Terminal Velocity. It was mentioned that Speed Demon and the rest of the captured Squadron was sent to the Vault.

Personality[]

Speed Demon is shown to be quite childish, viewing serious situations as silly games. His main fighting style appears to consist mainly of taunting and running, with the occasional punch or kick thrown in. He is rather impatient, and doesn’t like waiting.

Powers and Abilities[]

Powers[]

Superhuman Speed: Speed Demon's primary superhuman power is the ability to run, move and think at superhuman velocities. Speed Demon is able to run at speeds faster than the speed of sound, sufficient to allow him to run across water and to allow him to run straight up walls, among various other feats. He can take in information and process it at much faster rates than a normal human, as well as see and hear clearly when moving at super-speed. By using his speed to bounce back and forth extremely quickly, Speed Demon can create after-images, making it appear that he's in multiple places at once. Using his speed, Speed Demon can generate air flow as vacuums of various levels. He can create fierce waves and vacuums of air by shaking a body part very fast. Speed Demon is capable of generating electricity using his superspeed.
Superhuman Reflexes: He can instantly dodge/react to attacks. He even talks very fast.
Charged Attacks: Using his speed, he can charge the strength & potency of his physical attacks to actually mimic superhuman strength. This makes him able to hit hard enough to send the Hulk flying through multiple walls at his peak.
Superhuman Stamina: He never seems to tire from hours of continuous exertion, despite him having a rapid metabolism.
Superhuman Agility: Speed Demon possesses inhuman bodily coordination, balance, equilibrium, and dexterity. He is able to change direction immediately, this allows him to make sharp turns without sliding or losing his balance.
Superhuman Durability: The tissues of Speed Demon's augmented body are tougher, more resilient and more resistant to certain forms of physical injury than those of a normal human. His body is particularly adapted to resist the natural rigors that moving at such extreme velocities would have on a normal human. An unenhanced human body would experience extreme friction to the skin, muscles, bones and particularly the joints and would result in permanent injury. Speed Demon is also more resistant to impact trauma than a normal human. He can withstand impacts, such as falling from several stories or being repeatedly struck with superhuman force, which would severely injure or kill a normal human while sustaining little to no injury himself. If Speed Demon does sustain any injuries, his body heals much faster and more efficiently than a normal human. Speed Demon's entire body is adapted for superspeed.
Regenerative Healing Factor: His super-speed has also affected his metabolism, which in turn increases his natural healing speed. Unlike the Hulk, Hyperion, Nighthawk, Super-Adaptoid, or the Super Soldier Serum's various hosts, it is not an actual healing factor but is entirely based on an accelerated metabolism & hence is not entirely reliable as superficial legions will not heal. It also extends his longevity to a greater degree.
Body Vibrations/Intangibility: Speed Demon has the ability to vibrate any part of his body at different frequencies at will, with varying effects.

Abilities[]

Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant: He has shown martial arts skills while combating and teasing the Hulk.
Acrobatics: He has shown himself to be quite agile in combat. This acrobatic prowess, combined with his advanced superspeed, allows him to perform complex acrobatic feats at high speeds.

Paraphernalia[]

Equipment[]

Speedy Enhancement Belt: His belt is able to provide his physiology with speed enhancing electricity which, charges up his physiology to allow him to enhance his speed. With it, he is able to move faster than the normal speed of time, allowing him to move, think, act, perceive and react in less than milliseconds or less, while the world around him appears frozen in time or in slow motion, the event of which he calls Speed Time.
- Speed Charging: He even gained a new ability to accelerate anyone's natural movement speed & time, even charge beings or himself with limitless speed energy. He was able to turn the Hulk into a gamma bomb by causing the radiation inside him to become extremely unstable. While he was trying to fast forward Hulk to the end of his life, he instead gave Hulk temporary super speed and built up the gamma inside him to emit from him in an explosive energy wave.
