First Appearance: Beano (D.C.Thompson, 16 May 1964 - present)

Powers/Abilities: Constantly moving at superhuman speed. Billy tends to forget how destructive his supersonic passage can be, and has a very short attention span - much like the considerably later DC character Impulse.

History:  Billy Whizz is a young lad who does everything at superhuman speeds. No explanation for this is ever given, and the rest of his family seem ordinary enough.

Comments: According to Val, who wrote into me, Billy is based on her husband, whose uncle, Malcolm Judge, created the character.

Alfie, Billy's little brother Billy  has a little brother called Alfie, who occasionally features in his own spin-off strip. Unlike his sibling, he appears to have no powers.

Jimmy Quick, the Billy Whizz of the Zenith multiverse While the original strip he comes from is done for laughs, the character turned up (as Jimmy Quick) in a more serious role in Grant Morrison's Zenith storyline, fighting the dark gods along with a number of other British heroes.

CLARIFICATIONS: Not to be confused with
