HistoryEdit

Little is known at present about the second criminal who called himself the Adder. He came to prominence when he concocted a scheme to steal a new type of race car; the plot was foiled by the metahuman hero Johnny Quick, and the Adder and his men were about to be taken into custody, when the villain proposed a deal: if Johnny Quick could win a race with the new car, the Adder would donate a sizeable sum to charity. Realizing that the offer was too good to pass up, the hero agreed, only to be nearly beaten out of the race when the Adder and his men arranged for him to contract laryngitis…rendering him unable to recite the formula that gave him his super-speed. Ultimately, Johnny Quick was able to triumph anyway and took the villains into custody once more. The Adder remains in prison at this writing.
