Johnny Quick and Bill the Magnificent, two super speedsters distinct fro their fellow fleet footed peers on that their powers were derived by what they said. For newsreel journalist Johnny Chambers, the mathematical formula he uttered was “3x2(9yz)4a”. For copyboy Bill Hanson, the grammatical phrase he uttered was “jeepers creepers”. While Chambers’ formula granted him superhuman speed, a protective aura and the power of flight… Hanson’s phrase bequeathed him with superhuman speed, invulnerability and unbelievable strength.
As Johnny Quick, Chambers (like his Earth-One counterpart Wally “Kid Flash” West) would use his speed both for solo adventures and working alongside the Flash and other superheroes. Quick had teammates in the All-Star Squadron of Earth-Two (as has Kid Flash with the New Teen Titans). Meanwhile, Bill the Magnificent worked alone, although contemporaneous with another speedster in Kid Eternity and his friends in the Marvel Family of Earth-S.
