Captain Boomerang

Owen Harkness

Part of the Flash's original Rogues Gallery, George "Digger" Harkness never achieved the success he though he deserved. He was eventually killed by Jack Drake after he was sent to assassinate him.

When the assassination went bad, and both ended up dead, Owen Mercer, the son of George Harkness and Meloni Thawne,  took up the role of Captain Boomerang. At first he joined the Rogues, but soon changed his ways. He was able to move past his feeling and help Robin with one of his cases.. He joined the Outsiders and became friends with Supergirl. Eventually he left to be in the Suicide Squad, due to Batman's restructuring of the team. He worked with the rest of the Suicide Squad to catch villains to send to planet Salvation.

Powers and Skills

Owen was trained in the use of boomerangs by his father before his death. Mercer also can create short busrts of superspeed, mostly when he throws his boomerangs. His speed comes from a meta-gene like Jay Garrick. He never showed any superspeed like the Flashs, but now that the Speed Force has come back he may be able to tap into it like other speedsters.
