HISTORY

Malcolm King Jr. inherited his speed from his father, the criminal Thundervolt. Hoping to become a hero rather than follow his father’s example, he became sidekick to Blue Bolt II under the name Speedbolt. He struggled with the stigma of his family’s past and once lost control of his powers, vanishing into the timestream. Rescued in the 28th century, he joined Captain Flash Future and the Galactic Space Rangers, gradually regaining confidence and mastering his speed.

POWERS/ABILITIES

Speedbolt has superhuman speed, reflexes and accelerated perception. He can run across water, climb vertical surfaces and discharge electricity through rapid movement. A bio-electric field protects him from friction and impact when moving at extreme velocities.
