Jerry Strong was a super-strong costumed criminal who fought Johnny Quick.

In 1951, Professor Jerrold of Loftus College programmed his advanced mainframe computer to discover a "strength formula" to grant him superhuman strength as Johnny Quick's speed formula gave him superhuman speed. On reciting the formula "4G-7E (3X3W) 6X9R 4Z (2Y7E) 8BC", Jerrold became "stronger than any man on Earth". He soon donned a strongman costume with domino mask and committed crimes as "Jerry Strong". He clashed with Johnny Quick, who discovered his true identity. The speedy hero then destroyed Jerrold's computer. Jerrold had failed to memorize his formula (or to make a copy of his notes) and so was soon powerless. He was apprehended by Johnny Quick and the police.
