Unmasked:
History: Not much is known about Tommy Shepherd's history, save that his parents, Frank and Mary, are divorced. When the Young Avenger Hulkling was kidnapped by Kl'rt the Super Skrull, the Young Avengers needed more members in order to rescue Hulkling. Thomas Shepherd was listed in the Avengers Fail-Safe program as a possible Young Avenger. Tommy, however, was locked in a high powered juvenile hall facility due to him "accidentally" vaporizing his school. After releasing him, the team was shocked to find that Tommy and Wiccan bore an twin-like resemblance to one another. Tommy revealed that he had been locked up for months and during that time the facility's faculty had tried to turn him into a living weapon. He attacked the security guards and the fleeing doctors in an attempt at revenge. Hawkeye and Patriot managed to subdue Tommy and convince him to join the team in rescuing their teammate from the Super-Skrull.
After rescuing Hulkling, Tommy learned from the Super-Skrull that he and Wiccan could be the lost children of the Scarlet Witch. The Vision stated that the Scarlet Witch was so desperate to have children with her android husband, she used her reality-altering powers to create twin boys from two lost souls. Wanda and Vision named their children Thomas and William. Together they tried to live normal lives, until Mephisto claimed the two souls as his own. However, the souls were affected by Wanda's magic and destroyed Mephisto. Wiccan immediately accepted the idea that he was one of the Scarlet Witch's children, theorizing that when the souls destroyed and dispersed from Mephisto, the souls inhabited his and Tommy's bodies. Tommy however, was more skeptical about the idea.
After the Young Avengers helped stop the Kree and the Skrulls from declaring Earth their battleground for a second time, Tommy decided to officially join the team and took the codename of Speed.
With Wiccan, Speed went on a search for the Scarlet Witch. At that point, Speed's skepticism at being the Scarlet Witch's son seemingly diminished, as he openly called Wanda 'mom' and repeatedly referred to Wiccan as his brother. They searched Genosha and Wundagore before finding Master Pandemonium in New Jersey at the former residence of the Scarlet Witch and the Vision. There, Master Pandemonium urged both boys to embrace their present, as their past was nothing but chaos and darkness.
Speed was saved from a temporal hiccup by his brother, alongside Hulkling. The three of them are working together, reforming the team time and again to fight the Entity and save the timeline from being messed with over and over.
Equipment: His suit is made to survive the friction of the speed he moves.
Powers: Speed is superhumanly fast. Although his top speed is unknown, he can exceed the speed of sound (about 1,225 km/h, or 761 mph) and resist the effects of friction, reduced oxygen, and kinetic impact while moving at those speeds. He can also generate hyperkinetic vibrations that accelerate the molecules in matter, causing any solid object he directs his vibrations at to explode. He has asserted that he is "Quicksilver fast", shown running from the eastern seaboard of the United States to Genosha, an island off the east coast of Africa, as well as search the entire island for anyone living there in the same amount of time it takes Wiccan to teleport the same distance. This indicates that Speed is fast enough to run across the surface tension of a body of water without sinking. In addition, his mind can operate in an accelerated state, allowing him to read in super speed and remember everything he's seen. During the Civil War in the original timeline, when both the young Avengers and the Runaways invaded the Cube in order to save their friends, Speed exploded a gun in his hand by using his hyperkinetic vibrations. He is also able to accelerate his molecules (or even those of small groups of people) and vibrate fast enough to pass through solid matter, such as walls.
He can also become intangible by vibrating his own molecules. Speed possesses a limited degree of superhuman strength, allowing him to lift about 800 lbs with his arms and 1 ton with his legs. Speed's physiology grants him greater stamina when compared to an ordinary human, allowing him to operate at peak capacity for at least several hours before he begins to grow tired. Speed's physiology also provides him with limited protection against impact forces and the high levels of friction that are produced when he moves at superhuman speed. Speed's physiology grants him superhuman agility being more flexible and having greater balance. He's capable of reacting fast, because he's moving at superhuman speeds everything moves slower for him.
Skill: While not a trained fighter, he has learned how to use his speed to fight, and is slowly developing a fighting style unique to those with his power set.
Weaknesses: Speed lacks some of Quicksilver's skill, and he lacks any restraint.
Trivia (Optional):
- He hates this other version Quicksilver
- Speed isn't mad that Wanda and Vision are not together, after all it's not like they stayed together anyways.
- He does have feelings for Kate Bishop.
- He's kind of a big brother to Molly hayes, as they often help out the Runaways.
