Ed's Notes: The second Air Wave is Hal Jordan's cousin, and also the original Air Wave's son... So Air Wave was Green Lantern's uncle? Huh. Didn't know that. Lol. This may have made more sense in the 1980's seeing as Air Wave was a WWII Hero. He could have fathered a child in his 60's, I suppose... but today he be pushing 100. Lol. Presumably one could play with the origin story's timing a bit. 

In any case, this is another potentially cool starter hero for a PC to play. Lots of potential to add new Powers... (BTW... does he have Lighting now? He didn't in 1st Ed DCH.)

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)
