Simon Binder was a young taxi driver in NYC who had great driving skills. His driving skills caught the attention of Mr. Chandra Swamy, an eccentric millionaire who enjoyed building racing cars. Mr. Swamy's best racing car, the Silver Streak, became a target for someone or something, because every time someone drove it, that person was killed. Because of this added danger no one wanted to pilot it, except Simon. Unfortunately, as expected, he was also murdered, but Mr. Swamy managed to bring him back to life thanks to a "secret fluid." His resurrection had an unexpected side effect: Simon Binder gained the paranormal ability to move at superhuman speed. This is how Simon Binder, taking the name of the prototype (Silver Streak) became a costumed hero.
Note: Silver Streak's powers can be transferred to others through blood transfusions. This was how his teenage sidekick, Mickey O'Toole AKA Meteor Boy, received his powers.
POWERS & WEAPONS
Superhuman speed derived from the "secret fluid" injection. He is not only able to move nearly faster than the eye can see, but he also recovers at superhuman speed.
