Golden Age Origin
Manowar the White Streak was actually an android created centuries ago by a South American civilization to help mankind during times of war. He was deactivated for a long time, but he was awakened from his slumber in an American museum during an attack by German bombers. He destroyed the planes and then decided to fight for America against the Axis. He went to work for the FBI, where his face was altered via plastic surgery to look more human. He received the civilian identity of "Dan Sanders."
For a time, the White Streak operated as an ordinary FBI agent, wearing a three-piece suit and abstaining from using his powers. But when he was presumed dead after a warehouse pier was sabotaged, the White Streak returned to costumed heroism. He donned his old costume and a green mask similar to his original face and started to use his powers once again. Nobody except for his former boss was aware that he was still alive. He teamed up with Red Seal shortly thereafter. The two heroes operated as a duo for the remainder of their appearances.
White Streak's super powers include super strength, limited invulnerability, flight, and knife-like electric eye beams. In later adventures, he gains an ability to create electric beams with his hands.
