Bob Wood

Origin[]

Mickey O'Toole is in need of a blood transfusion and is given blood by the Silver Streak, but because of the "secret fluid" in the Streak's blood there was a side effect: Mickey gains the Streak's powers and became known as "The Boy Streak!"

Public Domain Appearances[]

  • Silver Streak Comics #11-12

Notes[]

  • Most sites claim Mercury is one and the same as Meteor however (although the costume remains the same and both were sidekicks of Silver Streak's), no comic states this. Once Meteor appeared, no reference to "Mickey O'Toole" was ever made again.
