History
Go Johnny! Go!
During Professor Gill's later years he focused in Egyptology. Travelling to the Tomb of King Amen, Gill uncovered an ancient piece of papyrus. On the papyrus he discovered a secret formula that bestowed the user incredible speed. Gill realised that he would not benefit from the formula due to his old age. Gill passed the secret on to Johnny and made him promise to use his powers for good.
By uttering the letters and numbers of the formula, "3X2(9YZ)4A", Johnny Chambers is imbued with the power of super speed. Speeds so fast he is capable of flying through the air, albeit for just short distances. To revert back to his normal state, Johnny would say the counter-acting formula, "Z25Y(2AB)6".
Like with all other superheroes of that time, Johnny made himself a suit and gave himself a name to compliment his new powers. Thus Johnny Chambers became Johnny Quick.
