The Whiz was a member of the All-Star Winners Squadron during the Golden Age, and a founding member alongside Human Lantern and Aqua Mariner who first appeared in "Super Soldier: Man of War #1", though his metafictional appearance in Amalgam Comics continuity is most likely to have been in the "All-Star Winners Comics" series.

He is never fully seen as he is constantly moving around, but his suit consists of a yellow suit and helmet, blue trousers and red shoes. The Whiz also offers help to Super-Soldier to protect a shipment of cargo vulnerable to attack during World War II, feeling confidant that his powers would help speed things up.

The Whiz is an amalgamation of the Whizzer from "Marvel Comics" and the Flash of "DC Comics".
