HISTORY 

January, 1940. 

Dash Dartwell was a college athlete at Dravrah University (Centaur City). His biochemistry professor, Dr. Drew Moss, gave him the Metabo-serum, which gave him superhuman speed and recovery. At first the serum only had a temporary effect, but eventually it became permanent. Dr Moss made sure the Metabo-serum only worked with Dash. So anyone who wanted to appropriate the formula would be very disappointed. At first, Dash used the powers of the Metabo-serum to win an inter-university competition against Elay University, breaking four world records at the same time. That's when the press dubbed him the Human Meteor, a name he later used when he decided to use his new abilities to fight crime. Dash married Dr. Moss daughter, Bettie. 

In October 1956, Simon Binder, a taxi driver suffered a serious accident as a result of which he received a blood transfusion from Dash Dartwell. Binder and Dartwell shared a rare blood group (0-), the key to the transmission of Dash's powers, and thus, Simon became a second Human Meteor.

POWERS & WEAPONS 

Superhuman speed derived from the use of Metabo-serum. He is not only able to move nearly faster than the eye can see, but he also recovers at superhuman speed.
