You are not fast enough to stop me. None of you are. Death will rain down on your city, Flash, unless you give me what I want.

— Godspeed

The fifth incarnation of Godspeed was sent into the past by the real villain to steal the speed of the Flash.

History

This version of Godspeed was created when the real Godspeed fractured himself in time.

In the present Earth-Prime, Godspeed attacked Barry who was slowly losing his super-speed because of the Speed Force's destruction; the Scarlet Speedster was saved by Nash Wells who forced the supervillain to escape.

Later, the Godspeed clone broke into Iron Heights and murdered in cold blood all the other fake incarnations of his master, absorbing their speed. As he had become too fast for the Flash, Godspeed threatened to kill some civilians if the superhero did not surrender himself.

The Flash managed to save the civilians but Godspeed overpowered him and tried to steal his speed but he was stopped by the metahuman Pied Piper whose powers helped the superhero stop the evil speedster. Godspeed was arrested and taken to Iron Heights where Barry interrogated him, forcing him to reveal that the real Godspeed was still out there in the future, plotting against him.

However, he soon lost the ability to speak like all the other Godspeed clones before him.

After the real Godspeed regained his memory, he reabsorbed all Godspeed clones into himself.
