He first appeared during the period that fans and historians call the Golden Age of Comic Books. The Whizzer has super-speed powers, which (in his original origin story) he acquired from an infusion of mongoose blood. He appeared in both USA Comics and All Winners Comics from 1941 to 1946, and was revived by Marvel in the 1970s. Robert Frank's incarnation of the Whizzer debuted in USA Comics #1 (Aug. 1941), published by Timely Comics. The character was created by penciller Al Avison and an unnamed writer. One source credits Stan Lee as that writer, but there are no other sources to support the credit. The Whizzer appeared regularly in USA Comics through issue #17 (Sept 1945). At the same time, he was also appearing regularly in All Winners Comics, from issue #2 (Sept 1941) through #21 (Dec 1946). In issues #19 and #21, he was part of the All Winners Squad, a superteam that also included Captain America, Bucky Barnes, the Human Torch, Toro, the Sub-Mariner and Miss America. These were the character's last appearances during the 1940s.
The Whizzer has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
