Who is Whizzer?

A super-speedster and member of the Squadron Sinister, Whizzer was created as a pastiche of DC's The Flash. He operates alongside Hyperion, Doctor Spectrum, and Nighthawk as one of the villainous team's founding members.

Few characters capture the Silver Age Marvel spirit quite like Whizzer, who burst onto the scene in The Avengers #69 in 1969, courtesy of the legendary Roy Thomas and Sal Buscema. A member of both the Avengers and the Squadron Sinister, this speedster has carved out a distinctive corner of the Marvel Universe, sharing pages with heavy-hitters like Hyperion, Doctor Spectrum, and Goliath across titles including The Avengers, Giant-Size Defenders, and Marvel Super Action. With at least one key collector's issue to their name and a publishing history that stretches an remarkable 56 years, Whizzer is a rewarding deep-dive for any fan who loves tracing the rich, interconnected threads of Marvel's Silver Age legacy.
