Godspeed is a speedster from 2049 who used Velocity 9 to gain super-speed.

History

Job Troubles

Born on August 16, 2021, August Heart lost his brother Jorge at some point and attended Central City South High School, graduating three years in advance with a grade point average of 5.2 and attended Central City University as an adult, studying biochemistry engineering. He had several jobs as a barista, a janitor, and inventory technician but was either fired or quit every time.

He worked as an intern at Mercury Labs in January 2048 but was fired due to administering tachyons on 17 different elderly comatose patients. While criminal charges were never formally brought against him, there were 4 civil lawsuits pending.

Becoming Godspeed & Fighting XS and Impulse

In 2049, August experimented on himself with tachyons and gained superspeed, taking on a persona of Godspeed, stealing chemicals to recreate the Velocity 9 serum. After one of his robberies caused him to murder Lia Nelson, his identity was eventually revealed and he made a new enemy in Nora West-Allen.

After the young speedster deduced his next target, a device that would make his artificial powers permanent, she defeated Godspeed by using radio waves to disrupt his speed, leaving him to be incarcerated.
