Who is Whizzer?

Few characters capture the freewheeling ambition of Marvel's Bronze Age quite like Whizzer — a speedster who blazed onto the scene in 1971 courtesy of Roy Thomas, Len Wein, and John Buscema in The Avengers #85, and has been keeping readers on their toes ever since. A proud member of both the Avengers and the Squadron Supreme, Whizzer has spent over five decades sharing adventures with heavy hitters like Captain America, Power Princess, and Arcanna Jones across landmark series including Squadron Supreme, Quasar, and The Avengers themselves. With six key-issue appearances to their name and 66 catalog entries stretching all the way to 2023, this is a character with genuine staying power — not a footnote, but a fixture. If you're diving into Marvel's rich tradition of alternate-reality heroes and team dynamics, Whizzer is absolutely worth tracking down.
