Biography
At some point, Speeda Demon was built. His life before he became a villain and how he did so are unknown.
Speeda Demon, like a lot of criminals, stopped his activities at the wake of the Hero Factory becoming a galactic presence.
Legion of Darkness
Speeda Demon, Splitface, Jawblade, and Thornraxx were thinking about finding a way to stop the Hero Factory or finding another line of work when Black Phantom showed up. He recruited them to form his gang called Legion of Darkness. As part of the Legion, Speeda Demon's first mission was aimed at a Makuro Industries plant on Mechna. Speeda Demon set his optic sensors to night vision to see through the darkness in the plant in past midnight. He witnessed Thornraxx hijacking a hover vehicle containing a shipment of 24 XT4 robots and landing it. Speeda Demon and Splitface were then ordered by Black Phantom to attack the ship to make it look like a crash while Black Phantom stole and reprogrammed the robots. He had 23 of them go in different directions while he kept the last one to make him be a villain and his servant, XT4.
Later, Speeda Demon Speeda Demon followed Black Phantom's example to program sleeper commands into dozens of mining robots from the Aird Mining Company extremely fast, and had them wait for Preston Stormer and Jimi Stringer to come to their area, so the robots would attack the two Heroes. Speeda Demon and Splitface ditched a crew from an old ore mining space freighter from the Company on an asteroid and hijacked the freighter. Black Phantom ordered Splitface to use the freighter to help XT4 in Asteroid J-54 if XT4 needs it. Speeda Demon and Splitface piloted the freighter to the asteroid for XT4 to escape with Voltix and Toxic Reapa. However, they set the engines on the ship to blow and made it slowly go to Stormer and Stringer's Drop Ship to try to destroy them because they believed Black Phantom's plan was too slow. After the two villains escaped to Black Phantom's scout ship, he scolded at them for directing the freighter to the Drop Ship, but Black Phantom used this to fight Stormer and Stringer and make them go to the freighter to try to destroy them. After XT4 was successful, the three escaped.
At a later meeting of the Legion, Splitface heard a news bulletin announcing Hero Factory's closing, causing Black Phantom to launch an operation to take the Hero Factory building under their control. While Speeda Demon, along with Thornraxx, Toxic Reapa, and Voltix, was piloting a scout ship to the Assembly Tower, Toxic Reapa got annoyed with Thornraxx when Thornraxx was panicking, so he threw Thornraxx to the Hero Factory building, hurting him and making him go unconscious. Speeda Demon landed the scout ship at the top of the Assembly Tower, where the three villains encountered Thresher. The veteran Hero was no match for them, and he was held over a disassembler. As the villains threatened to destroy Thresher, Black Phantom ran in, trailed by the rookie Heroes. Stormer then played a recording, revealing Black Phantom's plan to use Speeda Demon and the rest of the Legion as tools and let them get captured. This angered Speeda Demon, Voltix, and Toxic Reapa, so they attacked and defeated Black Phantom. The three villains were defeated by the Alpha 1 Team, as Speeda Demon was slowed down by Von Ness' gravity attack and then got caught by Thresher. Afterwards, Speeda Demon, along with the rest of the Legion, was captured and placed in Asteroid J-54.[SM2] Something happened in prison, and it made Speeda Demon from rational and practical to insane.[FO:MSG]
At some point, Speeda Demon escaped from prison, but the Legion was disbanded during the time.[SM2, p. 136]
Seven years ago, he was given a map containing information about the Doom Box by a group of thieves, but he could not make sense of it. When he noticed Arctur, Deneb, and two more mysterious hooded beings coming to get him, he sold the map to Core Hunter to quickly escape from the hooded beings.
The Hero Factory later re-captured Speeda Demon at some point and imprisoned him in their Villain Storage facility. He told Splitface about his involvement with the map.[SM1]
Breakout
After Black Phantom devised and initiated a mass breakout from the Hero Factory, Speeda Demon escaped along with many other criminals, stealing a Nitro Rocket Motorbike. He then traveled to the ice planet Kollix IV, where Speeda Demon started going to the Interstellar Navigational Beacon in the planet's North Pole. Speeda Demon planned to destroy the beacon, so unsuspecting space-craft would not know how to proceed, so he could rob them very quickly. Stormer was assigned to chase him down with an Ultra Mach Speed Cycle. During the ensuing bike chase, Stormer used two of his Scout Drones to try to defeat Speeda Demon, but Speeda Demon lured to the drones to an icy hill to get them destroyed. However, Stormer used this as a distraction, so he got ahead of Speeda Demon.[Episode 8] Speeda Demon managed to bury Stormer under ice. While the villain laughed at his supposedly defeated foe, Stormer broke free from the ice and threw his Hero Cuffs at Speeda Demon. Trying to outrun them, the villain's left hand was cuffed, and as he struggled against the cuff's force, he crashed into an ice wall, damaging his armor. Speeda Demon was then apprehended by Stormer and returned to the Hero Factory.[Episode 9]
Later, Speeda Demon escaped and was listed as on the loose.[SM1] He went to commit another crime in Kollix IV. Stormer found and attempted to recapture Speeda Demon again. They were in a motorcycle fight again. This time, due to the planet's icy terrain, Speeda Demon miscalculated a turn and spun out of control. He almost fell from a cliff to his doom when Stormer rescued him. Stormer cuffed and recaptured Speeda Demon again. Stormer brought Speeda Demon back to the Hero Factory again.[FO:MSG][SM4]
Speeda Demon shared his cell block with Core Hunter and Karter.[SM5]
Alternate Universes
Reality 11275.6
Speeda Demon was part of the Legion of Darkness, who destroyed Hero Factory, and then he claimed he personally deactivated Akiyama Makuro; without any contrary evidence he was believed. Speeda Demon never went insane. He joined the Citadel's inner circle, run by Von Nebula. Core Hunter damaged his memory circuits at one point in a fight over precious metals, and Speeda Demon never repaired his memory circuits, so he had a hard time remembering. Speeda Demon also had a motorcycle that has a nav computer, which can track down any part of Von Nebula City.
Speeda Demon robbed the same bank, which was his assignment by the Citadel, twice in two months. He decided to pass the bank because he was bored, and he hit a gem convoy instead. However, Splitface noticed this and told Von Nebula on him, so Von Nebula forced Speeda Demon to do desk work for a week.
Recently, during Speeda Demon's punishment, he saw a record from L-22 about people searching for Hero Factory at Von Nebula University. Speeda Demon said to L-22 that she misused the call, so he sentenced her to get destroyed in a destruction booth near the university. The record reminded Speeda Demon of the Hero Factory, despite his damaged memory circuits giving him a hard time remembering it, so he alerted Von Nebula about the record in hopes of getting out of the desk work early. Von Nebula sent Speeda Demon to get L-22, or if she gets destroyed in the destruction booth, he would sentence Speeda Demon to get destroyed in there, too. He saved L-22, despite her protests, and took her to Von Nebula. Later, Speeda Demon was one of the inner circle members who negotiated with the main universe's Alpha Team, though Von Nebula learned that one of the members of Alpha Team is Stormer, so he had a group of robotic guards called Jolters send Alpha Team to the Citadel's prison. Later, when the Brains invaded Von Nebula City and then were trying to get to the Citadel's testing laboratory, Von Nebula contacted Speeda Demon through his wrist communicator and told him to have the Jolters defend the section from the Brains. The Brains killed Speeda Demon when they were invading and defeating the Citadel.[SM5]
Abilities and Traits
Speeda Demon is a master of the fast robbery and the even faster getaway. When he becomes wary about something, he would run from place to place in a room, acting like he cannot stay still. He used to be a very rational, practical villain with little drama,[SM2] but something happened in prison, and it made him insane.[FO:MSG] He is considered completely insane, and constantly cackles. His instability is considered to be one of his most dangerous qualities, and his unmatchable speed, which is superhuman speed,[SM2] makes him a menace to countless worlds. He does not wonder about what he sold because he wants to go somewhere immediately.[SM1] Speeda Demon can jump very high.[Episode 8] He can set his optic sensors to night vision.[SM2]
He has four arms, two of them are smaller and on his back. He wears a helmet that looks like the ones that the Black Phantom, Voltix, and the Brain maker wear, but with two gold horns. Speeda Demon is slightly taller than Daniel Rocka, William Furno, Natalie Breez, and Dunkan Bulk's Breakout forms, as he is taller than a 2.0 Hero. Speeda Demon is also as tall as Voltix and Core Hunter.
Weapons
Speeda Demon was armed with two Wing Blades, which he held with the back two of his four arms. He also had a Nitro Rocket Motorbike, which features detachable lightning bolt handlebars, wheels with spikes called Razor Wheels, and lightning exhaust. The handlebars can shoot electric blasts. Speeda Demon is skilled in driving the Motorbike while his body is placed backwards.[Episode 8] All of the equipment was confiscated when he is imprisoned.
