Speed Demon

A villain who crashed into the Copper Age with a burst of dangerous energy, Speed Demon made their mark in the pages of Flash beginning with issue #5 in 1987, courtesy of creators Mike Baron and Jackson Guice. This DC character shares their brief but memorable run alongside Wally West's Flash, Tina McGee, and Dr. Jerry McGee — a cast that signals serious, grounded storytelling from one of the era's most celebrated relaunches. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Speed Demon is the kind of compact, punchy threat that defines the best of late-'80s DC — worth seeking out for fans who love the texture of the Copper Age at its most focused.
