Speedy

Few characters carry a legacy name with more weight in DC's Modern Age than this Speedy, who made their debut in Green Arrow #45 in 2005 and quickly carved out a place among comics' most compelling young heroes. Sharing pages with the likes of Robin, Tim Drake, Cassie Sandsmark, Superboy, and Mia Dearden, this Speedy runs in genuinely elite company — the kind of roster that signals a character at the heart of DC's next generation. With appearances spread across Teen Titans, Green Arrow, and Robin, their footprint across the line is real and meaningful, and at least one of those appearances has earned key-issue recognition among collectors. Twenty catalog appearances across nearly a decade make this a character worth tracking down — a Modern Age figure woven into some of DC's most exciting street-level and superhero team storytelling of the era.
