HISTORY 


Lucille Martin, an adventurous novelist, was returning by boat from a vacation in China when she met an elegant Chinese maiden named Lotus who was on her way to San Francisco. Her master tasked Lotus with delivering a valuable jade idol to a Chinatown address and she asked Lucille to keep it for her as she feared it would be stolen. In case there were problems, Lucille was to deliver the package. The woman also gave her a ring in the shape of a blue bird (the Qingniao Ring) which is said to grant its wearer the ability to "see things no one else can see, and do things no one else can." The maid was soon killed and thrown overboard by thugs looking for the idol. Failing to find Lotus, Lucille visited her room and, finding it disordered, she hid the idol for the rest of the trip. Back in the United States, while she was in her room, she began to examine the Qingniao Ring, but she was overwhelmed by a mysterious wave of well-being and lost consciousness. Upon waking up, she felt so sure and confident of accomplishing her mission that she dressed up in a costume and presented herself at the appointed address in Chinatown, and after a successful confrontation with some thugs, the jade idol was finally delivered to its recipient. That was the origin of the Blue Bird. Then came the Crime Smashers. 

POWERS & WEAPONS 

The Qingniao Ring has the power to stimulate the pleasure centers of the brain of the people around its wearer, producing a feeling of great well-being. The user (Lucille in this case) perceives that power as an incredible boost in her own confidence, her senses sharpen and she becomes more aware of everything around her. By concentrating, she was able to magnify these vibrations, causing extreme arousal, euphoria, or intoxication in one or more of the beings around her.

HISTORY 

Dash Dartwell was a college athlete at Dravrah University (Centaur City). His biochemistry professor, Dr. Drew Moss, gave him the Metabo-serum, which gave him superhuman speed and recovery. At first the serum only had a temporary effect, but eventually it became permanent. Dr Moss made sure the Metabo-serum only worked with Dash. So anyone who wanted to appropriate the formula would be very disappointed. At first, Dash used the powers of the Metabo-serum to win an inter-university competition against Elay University, breaking four world records at the same time. That's when the press dubbed him the Human Meteor, a name he later used when he decided to use his new abilities to fight crime. Dash married Dr. Moss daughter, Bettie. 

Meanwhile on Earth-164B: Simon Binder, a professional driver suffered a serious accident as a result of which he received a blood transfusion from Dash Dartwell. Binder and Dartwell shared a rare blood group (0-), the key to the transmission of Dash's powers, and thus, Simon became the super speedster known as the Silver Streak. 

POWERS & WEAPONS 

Superhuman speed derived from the use of Metabo-serum. He is not only able to move nearly faster than the eye can see, but he also recovers at superhuman speed.
