The Whizzer The Whizzer (I) The original Whizzer was Robert L. Frank. He was a Golden Age hero based in the Marvel Universe during the 1940's. His super speed stemmed from a blood transfusion from a mongoose he received as a child in Africa. He was a member of Liberty Legion, Invaders and the All-Winners Squad. He died from heart attack while attempting to save his son. The Whizzer (II) While running alone on a country road, Stanley Stewart passed through a dense, luminescent fogbank. When Stewart emerged from the fogbank, he discovered that he could alter his perception of time so that the world appeared to be in slow motion. Every day after that Stewart found that he could run faster and farther than the previous day. Six weeks after running through the fogbank, Stewart broke the sound barrier while on a 200 mile sprint. It was at that point that Stewart decided to become a costumed crimefighter. Stewart originally wanted to call himself the Boomer, but instead decided to call himself the Whizzer at his wife Madeline's suggestion. He works with the Squadron Supreme, in an alternate universe in Marvel. The Blur In J. Michael Straczynski's reimagining of the Squadron Supreme, Supreme Power, the Whizzer's counterpart is a young african american named Stanley Stewart, who kept his powers a secret until show business agents offered him a product endorsement contract. Until then, Stanley had only been spotted as a blur (hence the name) and is existence was considered an urban myth. At Nighthawk's urging, the Blur has begun working as a vigilante.
