Role-Playing Notes:
Whizzer is a devoted family man who places his family before his duties to the Squadron. While trapped on the main Marvel Earth, he has become upset at his separation from his family, resulting in rude, abrupt behavior.
History:
Stanley Stewart is a native of the other dimensional home of the Squadron Supreme. He gained his powers by passing through a fog bank of unknown origin. After this event, he could run at superhuman speeds. He became a costumed hero and eventually became a founding member of the Squadron Supreme. Whizzer, as well as most of the rest of the Squadron, succumbed to the enthralling power of the entity known as the Overmind. This collective mind entity, working together with the demonic being Null, the Living Darkness, used the Squadron as pawns to rule the Earth. One member of the Squadron retained his freedom, however; Hyperion managed to travel to another Earth and recruit the superteam known as the Defenders to help him. Together, the Defenders and the Squadron finally defeated the Overmind and Null, freeing the Earth from thralldom.
This battle left the Squadron's world in an economic and political mess. The Squadron decided to take over America for a year and implement their Utopia Program. They intended to use their powers to solve all of the country's problems. As a gesture of good faith, the members of the Squadron revealed their true identities to the people of the world, assuring them that the Utopia Program would succeed. One member of the group, Nighthawk, disagreed with the majority and began planning to thwart the Squadron's plans.
Nighthawk had gathered his own group of dissenting heroes and villains, who were named the Redeemers. In the climactic battle between the Squadron and Nighthawk's Redeemers, Nighthawk along with many people on both sides of the battle were killed. The Squadron gave up and conceded defeat. They promised to dismantle the Utopia Program and return the fate of America to the average person.
The next great test of the Squadron occurred when a white being of immense size began to grow and threaten to devour the Sun. The Squadron mounted a last-ditch effort to save their world with the help of one of their greatest enemies, Master Menace.
The Whizzer was one of the four heroes who flew into space with a device designed to contain the growing creature. He ran on a treadmill that generated the locomotion necessary for him to move through space. He ran until his feet bled. Unfortunately, all efforts to fight this growing white entity failed. Their universe was saved when Arcanna's son, Benjamin, traded places with the white being, who turned out to be Thomas Lightner, the Nth Man, who had been turned into a living hole in space. He had devoured seven universes before happening across the Squadron's universe.
The infant Benjamin Thomas Jones was slated to become this universe's next Sorcerer Supreme. He opted to trade places with the white being and thus stop Lightner from devouring worlds. As a consequence, the powers of Sorcerer Supreme were conferred upon Thomas Lightner. Benjamin left the Squadron's dimension, set on undoing all the damage that Lightner had caused.
On the way back to their Earth, the Squadron was transported to the main Marvel Universe Earth by the new Sorcerer Supreme of their dimension, Thomas Lightner. He obviously didn't want the Squadron around to challenge his newly acquired powers.
The Squadron ran into Quasar in space and they were taken to Project Pegasus, hoping to find a way back to their own dimension. There they consulted with Reed Richards to see if his Time Machine could help them return, but that attempt failed.
During the group's stay at Project Pegasus, a race between all the speedsters on Earth was organized by the Elder of the Universe known as The Runner. Whizzer participated in the race to the moon on a specially constructed racetrack, but he was beaten by the Eternal Makarri and a strange being known only as Buried Alien.
Then, Dr. Strange came to Project Pegasus to send them home magically. But Lightner had laid a magical trap for the Squadron that caused half of their bodies to stay on Earth and the other half to be flung into the space between dimensions. They were rescued from this horrible death by Quasar and Dr. Strange.
Whizzer and the other Squadron members trapped on Earth are now waiting for Arcanna's son, Benjamin, to finish repairing the Nth Man's destruction through the dimensions. Once Benjamin returns to Earth, the Squadron should be able to return home with Benjamin's help.
Whizzer isn't taking this separation from his family very well; he is currently always on edge.
