Speedfreak

Speedfreak burst onto the scene in 2006's New Avengers: Illuminati #1, a Modern Age Marvel creation from the acclaimed team of Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev, arriving right at the heart of one of the publisher's most seismic storylines. With appearances spread across Civil War and Civil War Chronicles, this character is woven directly into one of Marvel's landmark events, sharing pages with heavy hitters like Mister Fantastic, Iron Man, Namorita, Dwayne Taylor, and Speedball. Rare in the catalog with only a handful of appearances, Speedfreak is a genuine deep-cut discovery for the dedicated Marvel completist — the kind of find that makes digging through Civil War-era back issues so rewarding.
