Ed's Notes: This one's a bit... weird. It's another Crime Syndicate adaptation, and one of my own write-ups. Rather that make him like Barry Allen though, I used the stats from the Golden Age Johnny Quick. This makes him the one member of the Crime Syndicate who is at a clear disadvantage when facing his Justice League Counterpart. Maybe it would be more appropriate to use Barry Allen's stats, but I feel like this one is just a bit different, based on what (admittedly little) I've read about him. In any case, this is how I plan to use him, and as villains go, even if he IS the team's weak link... Superspeed of 18 is still pretty damn good! (And if you're playing with Wally West/Flash III in your game, he's actually at a slight advantage.) Finally, right or wrong, I got rid of the "he has to shout stupid nonsense to turn his Powers on and off" Limitation. He's slower than the Flash. That's limitation enough. BUT... If I've screwed the pooch on this one, please let me know, OK?

Ed's Notes: First a point of clarification: This is the Golden Age Hero, Johnny Quick, not the Johnny Quick from the Anti-Matter Universe / Crime Syndicate. (Who is actually an evil version of Barry Allen's Flash anyway.) And let's get a second point out of the way up front: Yes, this is a poor man's Flash.
The entry above is a Combination of both sources, taking the best of each. The BG/R Book's main flaw is that it gives him the Running Power instead of Superspeed. Lame. On a FAR lesser note, it also leaves off his Buddy Advatgae. The WaW Sourcebook only gives him 45 Hero Points, leaves off His Dodging Skill and his All-Star Squadron Connection. Overall, the WaW version is the better one, but I feel like this entry is still fair.
