Biography[]
Robert Frank was a costumed superhero from the 1940s who called himself the Whizzer. As a child, Frank was bitten by a cobra, but his father managed to save him by injecting him with a formula made of mongoose blood. This serum caused Robert Frank to develop superhuman speed. As the Whizzer, Robert Frank adventured with the Liberty Legion and became romantically attached to Madeline Joyce, aka Miss America, whom he later married. Like many heroes of his era, Robert Frank went into partial retirement following World War II. Years later, Robert and Madeline had a son, Robert Frank, Jr., who became crazed villain called Nuklo. In the twilight of his years, Robert Frank suited up one final time to save his son from the nuclear radiation that was slowly killing him. Absorbing lethal amounts of nuclear radiation himself, Robert Frank had a heart attack and died.
