HOTW- The Whizzer (40s)

From Wiki- Robert L. Frank was born in St. Louis, Missouri. The origin of the Golden Age character begins while Bob Frank and his father, Dr. Emil Frank, are framed for murder of a man named Jennings by Granno, who brought the shot Jennings with his lackey, Spike, who will serve as witness, so they flee to Africa where Bob gets sick from fever and in need of a blood transfusion. While Bob is unconscious, he is approached by a cobra, but is saved by the sudden attack of a mongoose. Dr. Frank saves Robert by a transfusion of the mongoose's blood, and soon discovers that his son has developed super-speed, but the stress kills Dr. Frank.^[7][8][9] After beating Granno and his lackeys unconscious and reporting them to the D.A., Frank then decides to fight crime and eventually accepts the offer of Invaders member Bucky, who forms the superhero team the Liberty Legion to rescue the other Invaders, who have been brainwashed by the villain the Red Skull.^[10] When the Liberty Legion and Invaders eventually disband after World War II, the Whizzer joins the newly formed All-Winners Squad.^[11][12]

One of the sillier names for a hero, the Whizzer was popular enough to have a super villain named after him years later.  He would later be the adoptive father of Wanda and Pietro Maximoff (that gets even more confusing as you read it) and marry fellow superhero Miss America. He was Timely's answer to the Flash, though not quite as fast.
