History
After gaining speed powers, Whiz Kid became part of the Speedsters Union, before being hired by the law firm of Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Holliway. When she was hired, it was agreed she'd not be placed in harm's way, since, when injured, most speedsters bleed out at super speed.[2] This employment lasted until the firm's original offices were destroyed during a rampage by Titania. Afterwards, Whiz Kid apparently sought a transfer to a different firm.[citation needed]
Following the Superhuman Civil War and the formation of the 50-State Initiative, Whiz Kid registered with the government and was assigned to the Pennsylvania-based Liberteens. She was inspired by the Whizzer.[citation needed]
During the Skrull Invasion Whiz Kid used her super speed to suck the poison gas used by the Skrull Yellowjacket to save the other heroes. She succumbed to the gas and died.[citation needed]Attributes
