Johnny Quick

In the antimatter universe, there was a parallel Earth on which evil always won.

An Earth dominated by corruption and greed, where colonial Britain’s break from its parent America had led to centuries of war, where injured astronaut Clark Kent, repaired by aliens, became the evil powerhouse Ultraman, banding together with other super beings to become the Crime Syndicate of Amerika, acting as masters of the globe from their Panopticon headquarters on the moon.

Johnny Quick, in particular, “murdered his predecessor and extracted his blood to create a superspeed drug that he has to inject regularly.” (Grant Morrison in interview).

Like most speedsters, he lacked patience, and he seemed most comfortable in the Syndicate with Power Ring—the other second-generation member.

This Earth’s sole super-hero, Alexander Luthor, discovered a positive-matter universe, calling its Justice League of America in to free the world from the tyranny of evil.

Unfortunately, the League was doomed to failure, and Luthor discovered he himself had been manipulated by Braniac, who sought to break down the barriers between worlds and enhance himself with the energy from the two Earths annihilating each other.

The JLA realized they could not defeat Braniac, and abandoned him to the CSA, who savagely defeated him.

Ultimately, the JLA succeeded only in stirring the pot to make things more interesting for the Crime Syndicate.
