The Whizzer

Robert Frank

  • Also known as Whizzer

While on an expedition in Africa, Robert Frank was bitten by a cobra. His father, Dr. Emil Frank, injected mongoose blood into his son's veins, hoping it would save him. Robert had a mutagenic reaction and developed the ability to move at superhuman speed. He donned a costume and became the hero known as the Whizzer. Robert Frank married Madeline Joyce (Miss America) in the late 1940s. They had a mutant son, Robert Frank Jr. (Nuklo), but because he emitted dangerous levels of radiation, he was placed in suspended animation. Some time later, Madeline died while giving birth to a second stillborn baby. Her midwife, Bova, attempted to pass off twins who had been born days earlier as the couple's newborns. These twins would grow up to become Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.
