Early Life[]
James Sanders was a disgruntled chemist tired of his job with the Hudson Pharmaceutical Company of West Caldwell, New Jersey. He was contacted by the Grandmaster, and offered superhuman powers in exchange for joining a team that would compete on his behalf. Sanders agreed, and he created a formula based on information given to him by the Grandmaster and that granted him superhuman speed.
Powers and abilities[]
As a result of mutagenic chemicals concocted under the Grandmaster's mental guidance, Speed Demon possesses superhuman speed, stamina, and reflexes. The character can create cyclones by running in circles, as well as run up walls and across water. Speed Demon's superhumanly fast thought processes and reflexes allow him to perceive his surroundings while moving at very fast speeds, pick up objects, and execute complex acrobatic maneuvers to his advantage.
