Silver Streak


December 1939 - May 1940

    A racecar-building swami finds that every time he enters his car in an event its driver is slain by giant insects. For his next race, he hypnotizes a young cab driver to handle the car. He too is slain but is resurrected by the mystic to drive once again—this time in a super-fast racing car called "The Silver Streak." Despite this new advantage, our resurrected taxi-driving hero fails to learn the secret of the monster insects! In his next adventure, the young driver is better prepared; he has now been given a "secret fluid" that enables him to run at super-speed and fly. With these newfound powers Silver Streak hunts down the evil mad scientist who is responsible for the gigantic insects.

    Later on, Silver Streak befriends a shoeshine boy, Mickey O'Toole, with whom he shares the "secret fluid." Thus, Mickey becomes Meteor-Mercury. And so, with his sidekick and his super-fast falcon Zoom, Silver Streak fights on to make the world a better place in which to live.

    In addition to his familiar costume, Silver Streak wore not one, but two other costumes, which our sultry Silk Streak is modeling here and Satin Streak here.
