Salvaged Universe/Silver Streak

Silver Streak is a comic that is a part of IDW's Salvaged Universe. It heavily reimagines the Lev Gleason character of the same name, who was the second speedster hero ever created and was infamous for his ridiculous origin story.

Main

 * Jake Swift/Silver Streak - a professional race car driver who was in a car accident that broke most of his body and put him in a coma. Taken from the hospital he was in by the terrorist group Saber and experimented on by them, he gained superhuman speed that allowed him to move so fast gravity couldn't affect him. After he woke up and discovered his new abilities, he escaped and became the resident protector of his home city of Indianapolis.
 * Michaela "Mickey" O'Toole/Meteor

Supporting

Antagonists

 * Saber - a terrorist organization that wants to reform the world with an army of super soldiers as they were responsible for the creation of Silver Streak.
 * The Good Doctor - the calm and mysterious leader of Saber who keeps his true identity a secret as he believes that creating man-made super weapons could help reform society into what he sees as just. After learning that Silver Streak broke free from captivity, he grows obsessed with recapturing him and turning him into the ultimate weapon.
