Ed's Notes: OK... All jokes aside... (Like the fact that most of this guys "powers" are made obsolete but the invention of the CELL PHONE, LMFAO!) Sorry... I can't... Lol... About the only thing not hilarious about this guy is that he can RUN about 32x as fast as the second Flash, although... he has to CLIMB A TELEPHONE POLE first to do so!

But hey... A walking (running at many times the speed of light, actually) wire-tapper, who's a fair hand-to-hand fighter, a crack detective AND the District Attorney, could make for a very useful PC or NPC in a Golden Age campaign anytime the team has to split up, acting as their communications hub. And, seriously now, don't laugh. Don't underestimate how many plots could have been solved in 5 seconds if people could just COMMUNICATE with each other. Granted the GM may need to engineer a few plot contrivances, but I can think of a few times where he could certainly be missed - especially in a day and age when everybody wasn't walking around with better communications tech in their pockets.

First Appearance: Detective Comics #60 (February, 1942)
