Description
Description: Johnny's real name was Johnny Chambers. An orphan, he'd been raised by a family friend, Professor Ezra Gill, a scientist who dabbled in Egyptology in his old age. In translating an ancient scrap of papyrus, Gill discovered a speed formula, capable of bestowing blinding speed on its user. He considered himself past the stage of life where such a thing would be useful to him, and so passed it on to Johnny, to be used in the cause of justice. It wasn't a formula in the usual sense, but worked more like a magic word. By saying 3X2(9YZ)4A, Johnny gained the power of super speed ? to the point where he could even fly short distances, which may not have made sense aerodynamically but didn't seem to bother comic book readers of the time. Saying Z25Y(2AB)6 would return him to normal.
